December 2019/January 2020 Empties


I have 3 foundation reviews on deck to post (ahem have had them pretty ready for a little while) but recycling day is upon me and I want to get rid of some of my empties taking up space. Also I am starting to get some February empties so I want to make room for them. Let's get to it.

Klorane Floral Water Make-Up Remover - Countless bottles purchased and finished. Already repurchased. If you read my blog, I need not say any more.

Drunk Elephant Beste No. 9 Jelly Cleanser - I really liked this product and I would consider buying another but I haven't. The reason? The price. This product is outrageously expensive at $42 a tube Canadian. Thank God I got it during a Sephora sale. It's basically a really good jelly or glycerin-like cleanser but I have others that cost a fraction of the price that work pretty much just as well. I have a number of travel-sized tubes of this product and I will happily take them when I go on vacation and use them up.

Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream - I think this was my second jar of this and I have already repurchased. I find my skin looks really nice and healthy when I use it and it seems to keep my blemishes at bay. I find it works best when I mix it with Drunk Elephant's Virgin Marula Luxury Face Oil, otherwise the Protini alone might not be moisturizing enough, especially in winter. 

It Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream in Light - I have had this product for awhile and I finally cannot squeeze anything else out of it. This may sound out of left field but I really like to wear it on airplane rides! You get coverage, moisture and it doesn't dry out your skin like wearing foundation would. This product is likely all many people would need day to day but it's not as good as foundation so for me it can't replace it. This is great to use if you are running some errands and don't feel like doing a full makeup day but you still want coverage. I have tried wearing this alone with no moisturizer and I have to say, you still need to apply moisturizer unless you have super oily skin and it's high summer. 

Origins Plantscription Powerful Lifting Cream - I swear by the Planscription Serum but I didn't like this cream. I used it mostly at night. Found it didn't do much for me. Definitely one of the most disappointing moisturizers I have tried in the last couple of years. Would not repurchase. 

Drunk Elephant C-Tango Multivitamin Eye Cream - I love me some Drunk Elephant but this one is not very good. Maybe if I was 20 years old with super oily skin I would say it was alright. It's a bit drying and that is not something I want in an eye cream! I'm also not 20 something so this isn't going to cut it. This was only a travel-sized tube so I mostly used it for overnighters but I found myself applying other creams on top of it, so what was the point! Will not repurchase. I meant to do a full review on this but I think I pretty much just did. It did nothing for my dark circles either. 

Origins Eye Doctor - I finished this and I switched to something else out of boredom and now I miss this like crazy! Will repurchase soon! My eyes are not as moisturized without it and my dark circles are not looking so hot right now. Why, oh why, do I switch things up sometimes???

Skin Laundry Gentle Foaming Face Wash - If you are looking for a nice smelling, gentle face wash, look no further than this. It's too gentle for me personally, but some people will love this especially if they have super dry skin. Sometimes I used this in the shower to wash my face when I was in a rush. But for everyday use, I need something more powerful. 
Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Complete Coverage Concealer in Light Neutral - I just found out this has been discontinued. I am sad and I am not. I am sad because this colour was excellent and this product worked well. I am not sad because I was going through these like crazy as there isn't much product in them and I was not happy at what I was spending on them. I have bought 2 of the replacement product in different shades and I plan to have a review on them for you shortly. 

To those of you in Ontario,Canada, Happy Family Day!
