November Empties | 2018

Hey everyone! I waited a little bit longer to write this post because I was so close to finishing several products! Here is everything that I used up in the month of November!

 Face

Vasanti Brighten Up! New Skin Amplifying Moisturizer (18 ml) - I really like this moisturizer as it absorbs into my skin quickly and is great to use in the morning. My skin feels soft and it layers well under makeup. This is a Canadian brand and I have a whole detailed review on this product that you can check out!

Bioré Deep Cleansing Pore Strips with Citrus Crush Scent in Pink Lemonade (8 count) - I have used these in the past and originally purchased these at an Ulta in Michigan because they weren’t selling these in Canada. I really like these and even though they are a limited edition design, I hope they consider making these permanent! They are fun to use and they do have a citrus scent to them! They work just as well as the original pore strips that we all know and love!

Sheet Masks

May Island Bee Venom Sheet Mask (25 ml) - The actual mask itself is made out of 100% cotton. The mask was too big for my face but that is always something that I can look past if the product is phenomenal. This claims to help with the skin’s elasticity and that it is moisturizing. I was intrigued by this facial mask and it is imported from Korea. I felt as though it was mediocre and I won’t purchasing it again in the future.

Nature Republic Royal Jelly Sheet Mask (23 ml) - This sheet mask has a weird smell to it and it fits very large on my face to a point where it wouldn’t stay on my chin. It is meant for nourishing the skin and it claims to help reduce wrinkles. It didn’t do anything out of the ordinary to my skin and I wouldn’t repurchase it. This is an affordable sheet mask and it is made in Korea.

Miss Spa Coconut Facial Sheet Mask (25 g) - The formula is a cream which I typically do not like but this one wasn’t bad. What I didn’t like it that there was a lot of white cream residue on my face when I took the sheet mask off and you may need to wipe some off. My face felt sticky after wards. This particular mask claims to help hydrate the skin. It is free from: fragrance, parabens and sulfates.  

Hair

Unwinded by Hask Shine & Nourish Deep Conditioner in Sauvignon Blanc (50 g) - This hair mask is infused with: wine, apple and watermelon extracts. It smells great, made my hair soft and one packet lasted me for several uses. I put mine into my hair at night and washed it out the next morning. I purchased mine at Ulta and would definitely try another from this line! I do have an entire dedicated review on this product that you can check out! 

Garnier Whole Blends Avocado Oil Shea Butter Nourishing Conditioner (370 ml) - This conditioner lasted me a long time and I felt as though it really did the job! My hair felt smooth to the touch and it smelled great in the shower! I went through the shampoo awhile ago and you can check out my dedicated review on this great conditioner!

Bath & Body Works

Frosted Cranberry Car Fragrance Refill (6 ml) - This is a great scent to put into your car to get you in that holiday spirit! I am really enjoying it so far and I put it in my holiday scent portable holder! 

Body

Korres Shower Gel in Mint Tea (400 ml) - I purchased this from the TSC Warehouse Sale Haul for only $5. I can’t find this particular scent to link for you anywhere but on Amazon. I have a strong feeling that it is discontinued because it isn’t even listed on the Korres site. It smelled fresh and the mint wasn’t too overpowering! I also really enjoyed the formula as it was not drying!

Vitamins

Webber Naturals Vitamin B12 2500 mcg Cyanocobalamin (60 Sublingual Tablets) - You are supposed to take 1 tablet in the morning and you put it under your tongue to dissolve. I’m usually in a rush in the mornings so I let it dissolve a little bit and I end up swallowing the rest. These tablets are in a cherry flavour but overall, these were just mediocre and not my favourite.

Promo/Samples - Face

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel Cream (7 ml x 2) - I have gone through one of these in the past that I featured in my November Empties | 2017. I also went to the Chick Advisor Spring Cleaning Event where I received one of these in my bag. I really enjoy using this product and it feels lightweight on the skin. I do like the consistency and I found that it mixes well with my sunscreen on my face.

Algenist Complete Eye Renewal Balm (0.5 ml) - This eye cream claims to smooth the eye contours and that it decreases puffiness as well as dark circles. Keep in mind that I am using a sample so I will not be able to tell you if I did see any results. It was a good product but it is definitely on the more expensive side. The full size at Sephora retails for $80 and you are getting 15 ml of product which is not a lot.

Body

Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil Body Butter in Honeysuckle Vanilla - This smelled so good and I like that the formula was not greasy but was very moisturizing. It is on the more expensive size to purchase a 237 ml tub at Sephora but it could very well be worth it! I'm pretty sure that this particular scent has been discontinued. 

Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil Body Butter in Unscented - This was another free sample that I received from Sephora and if you have sensitive skin or have some type of skin condition, this could be a great option for you! I do have psoriasis and I can get away with using products that have a little bit of fragrance so I would not personally purchase this.

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY
