October/November 2019 Empties


Hello everyone! I just noticed a bad reflection in this picture. It looks like my Bath & Body Works hand soap has a small halo. Must be from my shiny mascara cap? Not sure....sorry about that in advance. Without further ado, let's get into it.

Nivea Pure & Natural Body Milk (x2) - I am one of those weirdos who keeps multiples of items I use often stashed around the house for easy access. One of these was in my ensuite and another was in the kitchen. They both managed to kick it around the same time. Already repurchased. This is basic hand cream but it does the job.

Deep Steep Passion Fruit - Guava Body Lotion - I was so happy to get rid of this! It worked well but I hated the smell! I bought this at Winners on the cheap. Might consider trying another scent but it won't be this one.

Bath & Body Works Gentle Foaming Hand Soap in Iced Blackberries - I am still on a mission to use up everyone of these that I bought ages ago when I went on a BBW kick. I am totally over it, but I spent good money so I am using them all up if it kills me. This one was one of the better scents.

Clinique Repairwear Sculpting Night Cream - I got this in a gift with purchase bag. I wasn't crazy about it. I mostly applied it to my neck at night...did seem moisturizing but didn't wow me.

Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Recovery Complex II Serum - I must have owned couple of dozen of these over the years all from gift with purchase bags. This is good stuff and I likely will buy a full sized one eventually once I have used up all of my "samples". (review here)

Estee Lauder Double Wear Zero-Smudge Mascara - How many of these have I been through? 50? The only one that doesn't smudge on me. Already repurchased x2.

Makeup Geek Eyeshadow in Rockstar - My heart is broken. This was one of my favourite eyeshadows ever. Makeup Geek discontinued it awhile back. I have been milking what was left of this pan for a long time. I decided it is time to let go and finished it off. My understanding is that MAC's Vex is a dupe for it. I own Vex and I think Vex leans more on the green side versus Rockstar leaned more purple than green. Marlena, if you are reading this, please bring it back!

Shiseido Facial Cotton - The only face cotton I will even think of buying. Costs way too much but I'm hooked and there is no turning back.

Bite Beauty Agave + Daytime Vegan Lip Balm - This is such a far inferior product to the Bite Beauty Agave Lip Mask. It came in a set of Bite Beauty products so heck yes I used it up. I would not purchase on it's on though.

Ok not too many empties the last couple of months but it was time to get rid of them. Hopefully we will have some more interesting empties for December.

OPI Can't Find My Czechbook Swatch?


Hello! Quick post today. Just wanted to show you guys a nail colour that I had on a little while back. This is OPI's Can't Find My Czechbook. I loved it! It actually wasn't the colour I wanted when I went into the nail salon, but boy I sure ended up loving this! I got a lot of compliments on it too! Yes those are my real nails by the way, they are not extensions.

I'll be back in a day or two with some long overdue empties and some posts on some foundations I have been trying.
