February 2016 Empties

Welcome to the beginning of March, which means it is empties time! To watch the video click the video below! I split this post into three categories: makeup, beauty! Enjoy! 

Makeup Empties

1. IPKN Flash Cream Radiant Primer (Might Repurchase)- I loved this primer. I am thinking about getting it again especially when I have enough Birchbox points. I want to try out some other primers before I purchase this again to see if I can find one that is a little less expensive, 

2. Smashbox Photofinish Primer (Not Repurchase)- While this is a great primer, that is all it does. I want a primer that also brightens and maybe even evens out my face (a little). 

3. Eye Rock Designer Eye liner (DECLUTTERED) - I received these in my Birchbox years ago and I have decided I am never going to wear them. I kept telling myself I would but so far, I haven't. 

4. Eyes Lips Face Lip Gloss in Berry Mauve (Not Repurchase) - I have other formulas that I like better. This one was a little sticky and just not my cup of tea.

5. Almay Smart Shade Smart Balance (DECLUTTERED)- My sister-in-law gave me both foundations listed. I have had this one before and I was able to use about half of it and then it oxidized. It turned my face into a carrot and it wasn't worth mixing it with a moisturizer. 

6. Almay Smart Shade (Not Repurchase)- I did like this foundation it was light coverage and worked well on days my skin just needed a little evening. I prefer a medium to full coverage otherwise I would just use a BB or CC cream. 

7-9. Maybelline Color Sensational Lip Stains in Cranberry Crush, Bit of Brown and Bitten Berry (DECLUTTERED)- I have had these for years and I am about to do my lip stain collection and so I was going through them and I decided these are just too drying and I don't like them so I am going to see if someone else wants them. 

10. Loreal Lip Stain in Pink Resistance (NOT Repurchase)- THis has been in my project pan for months and I just realized that I am only using it to use it up so I decided just to call it done. I had already taken out the stopper so I had used a decent amount of it. 

11.Revlon Just Bitten Lip Stain in Desire (DECLUTTERED)- This is another lip stain that I am getting rid of. I never use it and it just my lip color so I don't see a real need to use it. 

12-13. Brushes- I am really trying to go though my brushes this year because I really want to buy a nice brush set but I need to work through (test out again) my brushes. Many of my brushes are old so they shed and aren't soft anymore.

14. Hard Candy Concealer in Fair Light (Not Repurchase)- This came with the glamoflauge concealer which I LOVE  this is just hard and not cream so I am finally tossing it. 

15. Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer in Fair (Not Repurchase)- This was a VERY light under eye concealer with not much coverage. I don't have a huge problem with my under yes but if I am going to take the time to put something there I want it to do something. 

Beauty Empties 

16.Manefit Beauty Planner Cucumber (Not Repurchase)- I am not usually a huge fan of sheet masks. I did think this calmed my skin a little bit but not enough to purchase it. 

17. Goodal Phytowash Yerba Mate Bubble Peeling- I didn't get a chance to use the bubble peel. The face cleanser was okay, nothing to write home about. 

18. Goodal Waterest First Essence (Might Repurchase)- I really liked using this in the morning before I put on my primer for a light moisturizer. I have so many skincare products that I want to try 

19. Goodal Phytowash Yerba Mate Cleaning Foam (Not Repurchase)- I got this sample in my Birchbox and it was nice, but nothing special.

20. Aussie 3 Minute Miracle (Repurchase)- I LOVE THIS STUFF!! I won't be repurchasing it right away because I recently cut my hair (Click here to see it) and it doesn't need this right now, but as soon as it grows I will be getting this again!

21. Bath and Body Works Triple Moisture Body Cream in Violet Lily Sky (Repurchase)- I love the triple body moisture creams and this scent was amazing! I have some other lotions to use up before I repurchase this but I did enjoy this scent!

22. Redken Shine Flash (Might Repurchase)- I really liked the scent of this spray. I did add shine, but I am looking a prodcut that does more than just shine so we will see if this is repurchased. 

 23. Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish (Not Repurchase)- I got this sample in my Birchbox and it was nice, but nothing special. I tried it once as a polish and didn't like it.

24- 25. Bath bombs (Might Repurchase)- My mother -in-law and a friend got me a bath bomb this last few months and I finished them up this month. I really liked them I didn't notice a huge difference after I got out of the bath so I wouldn't probably go out and purchase one but I did 

Random

26. Downy Unstopables (Repurchase)- Every time I finish one I put it into an empties because they are AMAZING! 

27. GReat Value Automatic Spray in Cinnamon Apple (Repurchase)- I really liked this scent. I filled up my room nicely and wasn't too overpowering.

And those were my February Empties!  By the end of 2015, I want to have 300 products. I had 28 products in January and now 27 in February for a total of which is pretty good! 

Let me know your favorite drugstore foundation below! Have a wonderful day!

September Empties #2

Hey! It's time to do the second part of my empties! Click here to see the first part! 

Tresemme Fresh Start Dry Shampoo (Not Repurchase) -This is my second bottle of this Dry Shampoo and both bottles have broken. When I was able to try it worked pretty well, but with two bottles breaking shortly after I start using the product I won’t repurchase.

Aussie 3 Minute Miracle (Repurchase) - This product is amazing! Currently, I am using another hair mask, but I still think I like this product more, we will have to see! This product makes my hair so soft! Click here to watch a video I made when I reviewed this product.  

E.L.F. Mineral Infused Facial Cleanser (Not Repurchase)- This product was different than any other facial cleanser. It is a powder that you have to get wet to foam up to wash my face. To get the powder out it made a huge mess and it smelled really weird. Click here to watch a full review!

Korres Body Butter in Bergamot Pear (Might Repurchase)-  This body butter is so thick! It works and moisturizes incredibly well! The smell is a Fruity-Green Floral with a Watery Accord which I love. The only thing it is almost too thick, so I sometimes I had to mix in other lotions to get it to rub in!

VMV Hypoallergenics Re-everything Face Hand and Body Cream (Not Repurchase)- This lotion smells horrible! I got this in my Birchbox a few months ago and I was so disappointed in the smell! I did think it moisturized pretty well, but I won’t repurchase it because of the smell.

Covergirl Tinted Moisturizer (Not Repurchase)-  I got this tinted moisturizer years ago and absolutely loved it! Since then BB Creams have captured my heart. This is a good product, but I personally prefer BB creams so I won’t repurchase it.

Arquiste in Flor y Canto (Not Repurchase)-  This perfume is not a scent that I like. They describe the scent as: a scent that evokes an Aztec summer festival in Tenochtitlan circa 1400. Wear it to be transported to a dimly lit temple altar filled with fresh flowers.

Maybelline Expert wear Eye shadow in Mocha Motion (Might Repurchase)-  I have had this eye shadow for so long! I loved it! I used the darker color for my eyebrows and neutral as always great. I might not repurchase this because I have other neutral eye shadows that I want to try and that will be a little better quality.

Old Navy Brilliant Lip gloss (Not Repurchase)-  This lip gloss has been my favorite for such a long time! I decided to use it up because there was such a little amount left.  I loved this color and consistency. The reason I say I won’t be repurchasing this is because I haven’t been able to find it again.

E.L.F. Highlighter & Under Eye Concealer (Not Repurchase)-  This product has a concealer that is really light and takes a lot of layering to get it to hide anything. The highlighter is great! It is just a slight shimmer, so I might have to see if E.L.F. sells just the highlighter by itself. I won’t buy the duo again because I feel the concealer is a dud.  

I hope you enjoyed my empties! Until next month, have a great day!
