Empties 2021/2022 Part 2

 


EOS lip balms (x4) - No idea what scent these are. None of them are finished but I had a reaction to these like so many other people. I keep finding them around the house but I think I've finally rounded them all up. So excited to see them go! I know they aren't finished but I am so done with them it isn't funny so thought they were worth mentioning.

Evodia Australia Coconut & Lime Body Wash - I got this from Marshalls or Winners. It was pretty good and last me for ages. Loved the smell. Might not have been the most moisturizing body wash of all time, but it was alright. I haven't seen this brand sold anywhere else. 

COLAB Dry Shampoo in Rio (tropical) - COLAB dry shampoos were the first ones I had ever tried. I thought they were great and the scents are so nice. Recently, I tried another brand and that is better than COLAB. You probably know what brand I am talking about - Batiste.....review coming soon. This is not a bad product though and I would buy it if I was in a pinch and couldn't get Batiste. 

Drunk Elephant B-Hydra Intensive Hydraton Serum - I have boughy so many of these. It's a great, solid product. I haven't been using it lately as I have had to switch up my skin care routine due to my roseacea, but I am thinking I may try to incorporate this into my new routine and see if it works. I like to mix this serum with other serums to give myself a nice hydration boost. It mixes so well with other serums too, I can't recommend it enough. 

Drunk Elephant Beste No. 9 Jelly Cleanser - (not pictured oops) This was either my second or third tube of this face wash. I decided I wanted something that cleansed better so I moved away from this and then I developed roseacea. Now this is one of the few cleansers I can use that doesn't anger my face. It is gentle and removes makeup. It's a glycerin based product. I have already repurchased two. 

Dior Diorshow Mascara - This was a sample or travel-sized mascara. I don't know if I got a bad one, but the product was very dry and I wasn't able to make it work. I have bought a full sized tube so we will see how that goes and I will report back. 

Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil in Vanilla Apricot - I have had this tub of body cream forever. I loved it so much, and it was so pricey, that I made it last forever. I finally got a new one so I finished this one off. This is hands down my favourite body cream of all time. It's luxurious and works so well. I have never found anything that could compare, but if I do, I will let you know. 

Drunk Elephant E-Rase Milki Micellar Water - This works, but you don't get much product for your buck. This is $19 Canadian for 100ml. The larger bottle is $37 for 240ml. Thankully, I bought mine during the last Sephora sale so at least I saved a couple of bucks. The product is like a runny cream and you need a fair amount if you are applying it to a cotton square or cotton ball. I probably used a good 1/20th or 1/15th of the bottle to take off my eye makeup once. I would happily use it again as it was effective and very gentle....if I got it at a marked down price or as a gift.  

Bumble and bumble Hairdresser's Invisible Oil Shampoo - Another one done. Love this. 

Bumble and bumble Hairdresser's Invisible Oil Conditioner - This is the perfect conditioner for my hair and I simply have not found anything better for me anyway. Not sure what number this is, but I have been through a few of these. 

Drunk Elephant Lala Retro Whipped Cream - This is a fantastic face cream. I have been using it a bit less because my rosecea needs something that targets it and this cream isn't meant for that. I have already repurchased one as I am still using it here and there. If you have dry skin and want something seriously mositurizing that will give you a little glow, look no further than this. 

Laneige Lip Glowy Balm in Berry - this is what I have been using in place of my beloved Bite Beauty Agave Lip Mask. I have finished two tubes and have bought two more already. It isn't fantastic but it works and it is doing what I need for now. 

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask - It works. Doesn't blow me out of the water, but it works. Already purchased six of these.....what can I say, holiday sets of these are where it is at!
