Hey everyone! You probably thought that I had forgotten to do my May Empties? That wasn't the case at all! I just didn't have enough items to show and decided to combine two months worth of empty items. I also decided that instead of showing you the items that I finished and listing them below, it would be more beneficial to my readers to give a 'mini review' about each item.
Makeup
ELF Makeup Mist & Set - My holy grail, enough said!
ELF Eyelid Primer (Sheer) - Works great and is only $2.
GOSH Cover Me Up Makeup Mousse (04 - Champagne) - Did not like at all, would not repurchase. Looked patchy on my skin throughout the day and didn't last while I was at work.
Revlon ColorStay Whipped Foundation (320 Warm Golden) - My go-to foundation. I have several backups already.
Tarte Amazonian Clay Finishing Powder (Translucent +
Sample) - A nice light weight powder.
Benefit Watt's Up! Soft Focus Highlighter (Sample) - I prefer powder highlighters (my personal preference,) but this did the job well and this little sample lasted me almost a year.
Cover Girl Lash Perfection Mascara (Black Brown) - I am disappointed that they have discontinued this mascara. This was my second tube and I really enjoyed it!
Bare Minerals Prime Time Foundation Primer (Sample) - It didn't do anything out of the ordinary to my skin.
Make Up Forever HD High Definition Primer (Sample) - I'm indifferent to this sample size product. Need to try it again so that I am able to form a 'real opinion' on it.
Make Up Forever HD High Definition Pressed Powder - It was a silky finish but it was a very small sample. Not bad overall. Would need a larger sample to decide if I want to commit to the full version.
Face
Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes (Night
Calming) - These are the same wipes that Kim Kardashian uses (read the article.) I didn't know this until I was actually using them. Overall, the wipes were just OK.
GLAMGLOW BrightMud Eye Treatment (Sample) - There was a nice cooling effect on my eyes but you want to make sure that you don't leave it on for too long. I probably wouldn't commit to the full size because it is expensive. C $76.00
L'Oreal Youth Code Texture Perfector Day/Night Cream - It made my skin very soft but that is all that I personally felt that it did to my skin. This little container didn't last me that long either.
Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips - The first time that I used them, it didn't take much off. However, what come off my nose the second time was astonishing! Give these a try for sure!
Clean & Clear Advantage Blackhead Clearing Astringent - I honestly didn't feel like it did anything spectacular to my skin. Skip this product.
Revlon Age Defying Wrinkle Remedy Line Filler (Sample) - I really thought this product made a difference in my skin and I will be using the coupon that came with the sample to buy the larger size in the near future!
L'Oreal Miracle Blur Instant Eye Smoother (Sample) - I enjoyed trying out this product but I will not be purchasing.
Hair
Marc Anthony Oil of Morocco Argan Oil Treatment - This bottle lasted me longer than I expected it to and I was getting more compliments on my hair than usual. I would always reference this amazing product!
TRESemme Platinum Strength Renewing Deep Conditioning
Treatment - This product really changed the condition of my hair (it was really dry before,) and I would definitely repurchase!
Body
Johnson's Baby Bedtime Bath - Skip this, it wasn't too great. I only purchased because my usual product from this brand wasn't available.
Banana Boat Moisturizing Aloe After Sun Lotion - Holy grail, I have gone through countless bottles of this. It really provides relief for my skin when it gets burned and also prolongs the wear of my tan. A great 2 in 1 product. Very inexpensive.
Victoria's Secret Heavenly Eau de Parfum (Sample) - I really enjoyed this scent but I'm not sure if I would commit to the full size at this time because there are so many other fragrances that I am loving at the moment. Maybe in the future?
Hands
Bath & Body Works Anti-Bacterial Deep Cleansing Hand
Soap in Tuscan Vineyard - I really liked this scent and the little beads made it seem that my hands were getting a good clean every single time.
Bath & Body Works Anti-Bacterial Gentle Foaming Hand
Soap in Lemon Meringue - A bit too sweet smelling for my taste but it was worth the try.
Bath & Body Works Anti-Bacterial Hand Gel in Black
Pearl - I really liked the scent that this little PocketBac offered, but I would much prefer it without the glitter. It would get onto surfaces and items at times which was annoying.
Other/Miscellaneous
Mitchum Power Gel Anti-Perspirant & Deodorant in Shower
Fresh - My usual brand of deodorant. It comes out clear, it is a gel and it does exactly what I would want any deodorant to do. I buy this at Target in the twin pack. (Under USD $5.)
Premium Cotton Pads (160 count from Dollarama) - I despised these cotton pads and couldn't wait until I used them up! They are not made well, they will break or fall apart while I am using them in conjunction with my toner.
Country Home Candle in Lavender - Lavender is one of my all time favourite scents. With that being said, I really enjoyed this particular candle.
Country Home Candle in Crystal Clear - This is from the same brand as the aforementioned candle. Shout out to my friend Michael for giving them to me! Also, they have a good burn time for a small candle.
Ashland Candle in Bananas Foster - The scent is very unique and smells amazing! It is the perfect summer fragrance that I plan on stocking up on for those chilly summer nights!
Have a wonderful day!
Until next time,
STAY CLASSY.
STAY CLASSY.
