June Empties | 2017

Hey everyone! It is that time again for another month of empties! Check out all the products that I went through and my thoughts on each one!

Face

Neutrogena All-in-One Cleansing Wipes (25 count) - I have been using these on and off for many years now. They definitely do the job and although they aren't amongst my favourite, they definitely get the job done and I can always count on these to remove my makeup at the end of the day!

Hair

Selsun Extra Strength 2.5% Shampoo (200 ml) - I originally purchased this because I do have Tinea Versicolor that flares up every now and again that I need to keep an eye on. I only applied this once to my problem area before it went away. I also use this on my scalp when it gets dry from the change in weather and my brother uses it too. 

The Body Shop Banana Conditioner (250 ml) - This was definitely a rediscovery for me and I actually forgot how much that I actually liked this product! It conditioned my hair very well and it smells incredible!

The Body Shop Ginger Anti-Dandruff Shampoo (250 ml) - I didn’t really care for this product to be honest with you and it was very liquidy. The bottle lasted me longer than I thought it would and it did a good job at cleansing my hair. It didn’t leave my hair overly dry and it did a decent job at helping my dry scalp. 

Body

BIC Soleil Color Collection (8 razors) - BIC Soleil razors are my absolutely favourite and I purchased mine from Wal-Mart when they were on sale. I replace mine every single month and this pack lasts me the better part of the year which is awesome!

Secret Outlast Xtend Technology Antiperspirant in Clean Lavender (45 g) -I love the scent of this deodorant and it lasted on me all day! I picked mine up from Wal-Mart and I featured it in my March Favourites video. 

Bath & Body Works

Scentportable in Drenched Apple Flower - I had this in my drawer for awhile now and just decided to use it recently. I liked the scent and it did come in a pack of two.

French Lavender Gentle Foaming Hand Soap (8.75 fl oz/259 ml) - Lavender is one of my all time favourite scents and this was such a great, fresh scented soap! There are hints of amber inside the fragrance and I looked forward to washing my hands each time with this hand soap! The formula didn’t dry out my hands and I noticed that Bath & Body Works hand soaps have definitely been reformulated for the better!

Vitamins

Nature’s Bounty B-12 (1500 mcg - 80 tablets) - This claims that it ‘helps the body to metabolize carbohydrates, fats and proteins.’ I have since finished the entire bottle and I felt that it wasn’t as effective as I would have liked it for it to be. I am currently using another bottle with a higher dosage and I will definitely keep you updated on that!

Miscellaneous

Sigmagic Brushampoo (5.1 fl oz/150 ml) - I was definitely excited to try this brush cleaner but I feel like it didn’t live up to its expectations. I feel like it is overpriced and that amount of product does not last me long at all. My baby shampoo is 2-3 times the size of this bottle and it is not very accessible to me in Canada. Shipping was not fast at all for this and not to mention that my pump was defective. It worked a few times before no product would pump out anymore and I had to unscrew it to pour it out which was rather messy.

Samples/Promo - Face

Clinique Pep-Start Hydroblur Moisturizer (7 ml) - This is a great every day moisturizer and it does have a slight scent to it but nothing overpowering. This claims to blur your pores and I feel like it did do that slightly but nothing compared to the Porefessional by Benefit.

Estee Lauder Re-Nutriv Ultimate Lift Regenerating Youth Cream (1.5 ml) - This is definitely a more luxurious and expensive product as it retails for $360 CAD for a 1.7 oz jar at The Bay. This smells wonderful, glides onto the skin effortlessly, is very smooth and this would best to use at night due to its thick consistency. I am still in my twenties and don’t need too much help with my skin just yet but I can see older people really benefiting from this product.  

Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Synchronized Complex II (5 ml) - I featured this in my Tops & Flops | April Favourites video and this is by far the best eye cream that I have ever used. My mom also used it and she got amazing results as well. I definitely will purchase a full size jar of this as soon as I run out of my other eye creams!  

Hands

Ahava Deadsea Water Mineral Hand Cream in Cactus & Pink Pepper (0.14 fl oz/4 ml) - You can purchase this at Sephora for $30 and there are 5 different varieties to choose from that range in different sizes. I thought that this scent was rather unique, the formula is velvety and it made my hands very soft overall. I really liked the scent, the hand cream did not irritate my psoriasis, it did not feel greasy on the hands, it absorbed rather quickly and I look forward to trying out another scent from this brand! It is also cruelty-free and vegan.  

Hair

L’Oreal Ever Fresh Scalp Care System Balancing Shampoo, Balancing Conditioner& Micro-Exfoliating Scrub - These were all samples that came to me in my mailbox and I was most excited to try-out the scrub because I feel that it is a rather unique product. The scrub had a masculine scent to it and I felt that it was similar to a clarifying shampoo. I did enjoy using it however, I can’t see myself reaching for this product all the time.

Teeth

Smile Brilliant Teeth Whitening Gel (1) & Desensitizing Gel (1) - They did did the packaging and they switched up the colours. I do like it better and the product is the same as far as I am concerned. I use it to brighten my smile at least once a week!

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY
