June Empties | 2021

 Hey everyone! I finished up 15 products last month so let's take a look at each one!

Face

Kate Somerville EradiKate (30 ml) - This is definitely one of the best acne treatments that I have ever used. It can be drying on the skin but it shrinks the pimple over night. This is a holy grail of mine and I plan on repurchasing it. 

Lips

SF Glow Sun’s Out, Pouts Out Gold Lip Foil Lip Mask (1) - This is the third lip mask I’ve used from the brand and it’s definitely a fun mask to wear. it is infused with Cica as well as Honeysuckle Flower Extract. It does a great job at moisturizing my lips and makes them super soft!

Vitamins/Supplements

Nature’s Bounty B-12 2500 mcg (120 Micro Tablets) - I have been taking these for a few years now and definitely think that it helps with my energy levels. I prefer to take the ones with a higher dosage but these worked too.

Nails

Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Colour in #420 Pacific Blue (11.8 ml) - I really enjoy painting my nails with this shade during the warmer months. The blue really pops and it also looks fab on the toes when you have a tan!

MAC Overlacquer Finition (10 ml) - This is a discontinued nail polish that I used as a top coat. It worked well and I liked the brush that it came with. 

Samples/Promo - Face

Too Faced Hangover Good In Bed Hydrating Serum - This was mediocre in my opinion and I’ve tried better serums over the years. It can feel a bit sticky on the skin.

Too Faced Born This Way Matte 24 Hour Foundation in Porcelain - I really liked the formula of this foundation and made my face look flawless. However, this was not a good match for me. I would agree with the claim that it’s super long wearing because I had it on all day and it still look good at the end of the day.

AMOREPACIFIC Vintage Single Extract Essence (5 ml) - I was not a fan of this product because I didn’t feel like it was doing anything for my skin. This is an anti-aging essence that contains only 6 ingredients including fermented green tea. It is not sticky on the skin and really doesn’t have a scent. It is overpriced and I wouldn’t purchase a large size of this. 

La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Serum (10 ml) - I enjoyed the scent of this and it was a bit tacky on the skin which I did not mind. It did a great job at moisturizing the skin and I would definitely purchase the full sized version.

Glow Recipe Avocado Melt Eye Sleeping Mask (1.5 ml) - This contains encapsulated retinol and coffee berry. It claims to be brightening and firming. This is meant to be used alone and not in conjunction with another eye cream. This is definitely a thick product and this little sample gave me a ton of uses! This was just alright and I’m not completely sold on it just yet.

It Cosmetics Hello Results Wrinkle Reducing Daily Retinol Serum-In-Cream (1.5 ml) - The colour is a bright yellow that took me by surprise. It feels great on the skin and is very moisturizing. A little goes a long way and my skin definitely felt smoother. I would definitely think about purchasing this in a larger size. Key ingredients include: Dual Retinol, Niacinamide (Vitamin B3,) Vitamin E and Vitamin B5.

It Cosmetics Confidence In A Cream Moisturizer - This felt nice and very hydrating on the skin. I enjoyed using it at night and because it’s a cream, it’s thicker in consistency. There’s hyaluronic acid in the formula which is one of my favourite ingredients. 

Perfume 

Lancôme Idôle L’Intense Eau De Parfum (1.2 ml) - I didn’t think that I would like this scent when I just sniffed it from the bottle but it really works with my body chemistry! It’s described as a flamboyant floral heart made with sustainably sourced Isparta rose petals and madagascan bourbon vanilla. 

Hair

Briogeo Don’t Despair, Repair! Deep Conditioning Mask (30 ml) - The scent reminded me of when you stay at a hotel and use their toiletries. My hair felt very soft and was easier to manage after it was dried. I like that my hand didn’t feel super sticky after applying it to my hair which is pet peeve of mine.

Briogeo Scalp Revival Charcoal + Coconut Oil Micro-Exfoliating Shampoo (30 ml) - This was interesting to use in the shower and it was a minty scent to it. I thought that the product was going to be more gritty than it actually was. My scalp felt cleaner after using it but I wouldn’t say that this is a must-have item.

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY
