June Empties | 2018

Hey everyone! It's that time again to go through my trash and see all the products that I finished in the month of June!

Sheet Masks

Clean & Clear Night Relaxing Jelly Eye Sheet Mask (18 g) - I really like the scent of the mask and this is exciting for the brand as it is their first sheet mask that I have tried! The packaging is definitely eye-catching and the mask was very relaxing after a long day of work! I plan to repurchase these in bulk next time I see them in-store! I have an entire dedicated review on this mask that you should check out!

St.Ives Glowing Apricot Sheet Mask (1 count) - This smells just like the St.Ives Apricot Scrub that I have been using since I was in high school! The mask itself was made out of cotton and was comfortable to wear. It did not move around but be warned, it was soaked in essence making it rather messy. I did enjoy using it and I would repurchase it in the future. I originally featured it in my Buffalo Shopping Haul | Spring 2018 and check out my in-depth review while you're at it!

St.Ives Soothing Oatmeal Sheet Mask (1 count) - I personally didn’t care for this sheet mask and this one too, was dripping in essence. It did not smell like oatmeal but there was a fragrance to it. The results weren’t anything super noticeable and I wouldn’t repurchase this mask in the future.

Face

MAC Lightful Marine-Bright Formula SPF 30 Moisturizer (6 ml) - I am not certain if this is the exact same product as the one I used so keep that in mind. I liked that this had an SPF of 30 which I would combine with my actual sunscreen to add more protection to my face. It did not smell like it had SPF in it and the actual formula is white which blended well into the skin with no white residue on the face. It wasn’t my overall favourite product but it wasn’t a bad one. I purchased this from Estee Lauder Warehouse Sale Haul | March 2018.

Juice Beauty Hydrating Mist (200 ml) - I originally bought this facial mist because when I was browsing the Sephora website, I realized that you get a lot of product in the bottle for a decent price. I want to mention that I have noticed a price increase over the last few months with some of their products including this one. Overall, I didn’t notice a huge change in my skin when using this product, I hated the sprayed as it was uneven and you can’t use all the product in the bottle because towards the end, there are white splotches on your face. I wouldn’t repurchase this product and I’m glad I have finally finished it. I featured this in my Disappointing Products | Volume 3 post as well as my Juice Beauty Review. 

Update: I can no longer find it on the Sephora Canada website but it is on the Ulta website.

Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips for The Face (8 count) - These are amongst some of my favourite pore strips and they are very affordable too. I purchase mine at Walmart and I get the ones for my face to use on my nose because they are larger which means, they have the potential to pull out more gunk from that region. I have been purchasing these for years and will to continue repurchasing them!

Korres Black Pine Firming, Lifting & Anti-Wrinkle Night Cream (10 ml) - This was a thicker consistency as it was a cream and there was a warm scent to it that was rather pleasant. For one cream to have all of these claims such as seen in the name of the product is quite a stretch in my opinion. Overall, I did enjoy using it and it’s quite hard to track down this product as 2 Canadian websites no longer carry this product. I’m not sure if it’s being discontinued or what the deal is with this product as there are other products currently being sold within the range. I initially featured this product for the first time in my TSC Warehouse Sale Haul.

Bath & Body Works

Creamy Luxe Hand Soap in Kitchen Lemon (236 ml) - This scent is particularly nice to have in the kitchen when you need to wash your hands thoroughly. This soap has notes of: zesty lemon, sparkling citrus and Italian bergamot. I would repurchase this again in the future!

Love You Berry Much Sheet Mask (20 g) - This smells terrible and it really didn’t do much for my skin. I wouldn’t repurchase this again and check out my blog post where I am Testing All The Bath & Body Works Sheet Masks!

Car Fragrance Refill in Mango Dragonfruit (6 ml) - I really like this scent and I remember buying 2-3 of these in one shopping trip. It is the perfect scent for the summer time and I can’t get enough of it!

 Hair

Inner Core By Taya Hair Strong Anti-Breakage Shampoo (60 ml) - Here’s the thing with this product: I did like the shampoo by itself and I have been using it in-conjunction with the mask. Over time, my hair has definitely gotten stronger and there has been less breakage. What I don’t like is the packaging. It is hard to get the product to dispense after you press the little indent on the top to try and get some product out. You literally need to unscrew the entire lid to get enough product out. That is one drawback and another one is that the bottle has some weight to it and it is opaque so you can’t predict when you will run out of product - it just will happen unexpectedly like it did for me the other day which is annoying. It does contain Brazilian Black Clay and Pure Bamboo Fibres in the formula. I also featured this in my TSC Warehouse Sale Haul blog post.

Inner Core By Taya Hair Strong Anti-Breakage Conditioner (60 ml) - I’m not sure why but on the website, the conditioner is $2 more than the shampoo even though it’s the same amount of mls. The conditioner was pretty much impossible to get out of the top and you had to unscrew the entire top part then dump out some on your hand to actually get to the product. Despite those cons, I did like the conditioner but it is hard to come by as it is sold on various shopping networks or you have to order online.

Body

Dove Advanced Care Go Fresh Cool Essentials Anti-Perspirant (45 g) - I have repurchased the so many times and it is in my top 3 all time favourite deodorants! The scent is definitely fresh smelling and it is easy to travel with as well as to just throw in your purse! The stick is white so I like the work the product in with my fingers and I only have to apply it once in the morning for the entire day!

Nails

Revlon Nail Enamel in #015 Sheer Buff (0.5 fl.oz/14.7 ml) -I didn’t care for this nail polish because it is like the bottle says, sheer. I layered on so many coats to get any kind of colour payoff and the next day, my nail polish would be peeling. This is great for those who want that barely there nail colour, but not for me. I used over 3/4 of the bottle and I bought it a while ago so I’m counting it as empty.

Miscellaneous

Duo Eyelash Adhesive Dark-Tone (7g) - I like this eyelash glue but mine went off so I already am using my back-up. I like that the formula is black and it dries pretty quickly. My eyelashes usually stay on for the entire night when I use this glue!

Promo/Samples - Body

Atelier Cologne Vanille Insensée - I received this as a sample from Sephora and although the tiny glass bottle broke on the bathroom floor, I really did like this scent! There are notes of: vanilla from Madagascar, lime from Mexico ad oak moss from Slovenia. I consider this to be a warm, sultry scent and it’s made in France.

Beverage

Nescafe Gold Instant and Roast & Ground Coffee (3g x 2) - This is a stronger coffee and may taste bitter to some. Personally speaking, I like my coffee strong and you can always add in some sugar to take away the bitterness. I tried using this in an iced coffee and it tasted great! I have seen this promoted on several occasions and can see myself drinking this in the future! It comes in many different forms and it even comes in K-Cups so check it out!

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY
