Spring 2021 Empties!

I know it isn't spring anymore, but better late than never right? I already have a bunch of summer empties piling up too so it's high time I get cracking on this blog. 

Nivea Body Milk Pure & Natural x2 - This is my favourite bathroom/kitchen hand cream. Already repurchased. 

Bath & Body Works Fresh Sparkling Snow Gentle Foaming Hand Soap - I've almost finished my BBW stash and I don't plan to replace it as their scents no longer do it for me. This one was not my favourite but the packaging sure was cute.

Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser's Invisible Oil Conditioner - best conditioner I've ever found. Think was my second or third tube. Already repurchased. Best frizz fighter and smoothing conditioner.

Origins A Perfect World Antioxidant Cleanser with White Tea - I ended up liking this product more than I did in the beginning. It was refreshing but it's still not even close to my favourite face wash. It got gooey near the end and didn't smell right so I left a bit in there.

Drunk Elephant C-Firma Day Serum - I was stupid and bought a similar product and my skin reacted so badly to it. I regret it so much. I have repurchased this needless to say. I find this makes my skin glow, reduces uneven skin tone and makes it so soft. 

Tatcha The Rice Wash Soft Cream Cleanser - i bought a mini to try this. I really like this product and it may be in the running for my favourite cleanser ever. But...my skin freaked out a couple of months ago and when I tried to use this it made my skin even angrier. I had already repurchased another mini but I'm scared to try it again as my skin is finally calming down. I'll see how things go and let you know.

Aveeno Skin Relief Moisturizing Lotion in Cooling Menthol - I quite like this cream. Its one of my favorites and I find it works well on burns from cooking or curling irons. Speeds the healing and minimizes marks or scars. 

Native Deodorant in Candy Cane - This was a mini and I really liked it. Loved the smell. It was a Christmas scent though I believe. It was my first Native deodorant and won't be my last.

Tatcha The Dewy Skin Cream - I got this in a set with The Rice Wash. Its a nice cream but really is for dry skin. I found it is sometimes too much for my combination skin. I've been using it at night here and there. 

Korres Black Pine Night Cream - This got better the more I used it. Was only a sample though. Not sure I'd buy it but I'd consider it.

Clinique Pretty Easy Liquid Eyelining Pen in 01 Black. Wouldn't repurchase. KvD or Stila are the best ones. The Clinique one is drier and the tip isn't thin and harder to work with.

Boscia Cactus Water Hydrating Cream - I used this once or twice and wasn't impressed.  I didn't look at it again for a few weeks and when I opened it the product was hardened and unusable. Got this as a sample. Wouldn't dream of buying.

Bite Agave Lip Mask - this was a mini. I could cry. This was one of the pre-vegan ones. It was my holy grail and I'm sorry the new owners ruined a perfect thing.

Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair - This was my last trial sized mini bottle. I finally bought a regular sized bottle and I love it. It saved my skin when it went crazy a couple of months ago. I use it every night and it's wonderful!

That's it for now! Have a great weekend!

Fall 2020 and Winter 2021 Empties

 

I started this blog 2 months ago and I'm finally finishing it now. Sad. Truth be told, like many of you I'm sure, you aren't using a lot of products these days. No where to go, little to do. But that's ok, as long as we are safe and healthy,  that's all that counts!

Drunk Elephant B-Hydra Intensive Hydration Serum (regular sized and a travel mini) - I really like this Serum mixed with Drunk Elephant's C-Firma VitaminC Day Serum. I think this was my second or third bottle. Makes my skin feel so soft and happy. 

Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser's Invisible Oil Conditioner - I love this conditioner! This was my second bottle and I've already bought 2 more bottles. This is the best frizz fighting conditioner I've found to date.

Drunk Elephant Lala Retro Whipped Cream - If you have dry skin this cream is fantastic. I can only use it in the dead of winter or it can be too much for my combination skin. With spring approaching I am not going to repurchase anytime soon but I would totally buy it again. This may have been my third jar?

Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins Mega-Mushroom Relief & Resilience Soothing Treatment Lotion - I got this in a set of Origins products and I used it when my skin felt a bit greasy or irritated. It was ok. Didn't wow me. I am using a new bottle right now which came in another set I bought but I would not purchase this on it's own. 

Estee Lauder Advanced Night Micro Cleansing Foam - This was not a bad little cleanser. I think I had it awhile when I finally got around to finishing it and it was getting a tad old but it was great when it was new. Would consider repurchasing but I think I found something better. Will share soon.

REN Ready Steady Glow AHA Lotion - This is not a bad little toner. Got this as a sample. I would consider repurchasing. 

Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream -  I have decided to use up all of my travel sized Drunk Elephant products as they do go bad once opened for awhile and my overnight business trips and personal road trips have been nonexistent this last year. This is my favorite face cream ever when mixed with Drunk Elephant's Virgin Marula Luxury Face Oil. Already repurchased.

SkinFix Barrier+ Lip Repair Balm - This was terrible. I got it in a Sephora Favourites set and it was the worst product in the bunch. Hardly lasted anytime on the lips. Felt like cheap Vaseline. Awful. Used it to get rid of it. Kept it on my desk so I'd absent-mindedly use it up and that did the trick.

L'Occitane Dry Skin Foot Cream - My favourite foot cream. I bought the Intensive Foot Balm from L'Occitane and it's not anywhere near as good. Stick with the OG.

Shiseido Facial Cotton - The best. I can't go back to drug store rounds. I don't care it's pricey. 

That's all for now. Happy Easter!
