January Empties | 2021

Hey everyone! This is my first empties post of 2021! Let's go through my trash together!

Face

The Body Shop Elderflower Unperfumed Eye Gel (15 ml) - This had a cooling effect to it and it was a gel consistency. It was nice to use at night and it absorbed quickly into the skin. It’s fragrance free. This isn’t my favourite product however and I wouldn’t repurchase. It isn’t bad but I prefer a cream formula. 

Victoria Secret Pink Wakey Eyes Pink Hydrogel Eye Mask - I can’t seem to find this on their website anymore but this was a nice hydrogel eye mask to use. It didn’t slip around on my face and it was a nice pink colour. I left mine on for 15 minutes and then tapped in the excess serum.

Bath & Body Works

Scentportable in Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin (6 ml) - I found this in my back-stock and I wanted to put it to use while we are still in the colder months. This has been a repurchase for years and it’s a great scent overall. 

Body Cream in Warm Coconut Blossom (226 g/8 oz) - This is a discontinued scent and this is an Ultra Shea Body Cream. The notes include: Island Orchid, Coconut Water and Sandalwood Musk. It claims to provide 24 hours of nourishing moisture. It is infused with ultra-rich, moisturizing Shea Butter and is enriched with both Aloe Butter as well as Cocoa Butter. It is non-greasy and it really did a great job at hydrating my skin!

Hair

Nioxin Cleanser Shampoo System 1 (1 L) - I got this because in the past, I’ve purchased this directly from my Dermatologist to help with psoriasis in my scalp. The formula is blue and it has a minty scent to it. I wouldn’t say that it helps the problem but it helps to remove the build-up from my scalp and it is soothing. This bottle lasted me a very long time.

Vitamins/Supplements

Nature’s Bounty Ultra Strength B-12 5000 mcg (45 tablets) - This is my second bottle of this exact dosage and it’s really been working for me. I do feel like I have more energy throughout the day and it’s easy to take these. I purchase mine from Amazon.

Samples/Promo - Face

LANEIGE Bright Renew Capsule Sleeping Mask (3 ml x 3) - This is a one time use sleeping mask from LANEIGE. It claims to be hydrating and brightening. I found there to be a strong scent and that there was a lot of product. I used one capsule over the course of a few days. The packaging reminds me of how contact lenses come packaged! I believe that this is discontinued. 

La Roche-Posay Anthelios XL Melt-in Cream SPF 50 (15 ml) - I got this as a free sample at an event and I really liked this product! If you apply too much, there is a white residue but if you apply just the right amount, it melts into the skin. I appreciate that this has an SPF of 50 as my Dermatologist said I should use at least that on my face. This helps with those strong UV rays and I apply sunscreen on my face year round! This only pills if you use too much of it or with too many other products on your skin.

Nature Republic Real Nature Mask Sheet in Royal Jelly (23 ml) - It claims that Royal Jelly extracts provide nourishment and improve skin texture. After washing my face and applying an essence, I applied the mask, leaving it on for 20 minutes. My skin felt soft and I have to say that there was quite a bit of essence. Overall, I did enjoy using it.

Body

Dove Body Wash in Mango Butter & Almond Butter (53 ml) - I got this sent to me as a free sample to try out. I honestly loved the scent and the consistency. It made my skin so soft and smooth. It smelled like a mango smoothie to me and I felt like I was transported to a tropical island! This is a product that I would absolutely purchase the larger size of after I go through my current back-ups.

Giorgio Armani My Way Eau De Parfum (1.2 ml) - This floral fragrance claims to be a blend of consciously sourced ingredients from around the world. The Orange Blossom is from Egypt, the Tuberose & Jasmine are from India and the Vanilla is from Madagascar. This is not a perfume that I would have chose out on my own but it works with my body chemistry. Not sure if I would purchase a bigger size of this.

Body

Shea Moisture 100% Virgin Coconut Oil Shea Butter Soap (227 g) - This is made with Coconut Milk and Acacia Senegal. It claims to help soften and restore the skin. There are exfoliating beads in the soap and I found there to be a subtle, pleasant scent. This is a big bar of soap that should last me quite some time! I got this from a friend.

Sol De Janeiro Coco Cabana Cream (25 ml) - This was part of my birthday gift from Sephora last year and although this one was nice, I much prefer the original scent. This delivers hydration for your skin that makes it feel soft. This is an oil-in-water cream. 

Until next time, 

STAY CLASSY
