Hey Loves! As most of you know I have recently moved to a new city and I was hoping to get up an empties post before I moved but obviously I had to bring this trash with me to my new place. I have been trying to use up products before I moved to help clean out my stash-- I don't know how successful I really was but hey, some is better than none right? I know that I have a lot of other products I am getting close to finishing but I did not include those right now. I think there will be another empties post not that far from now. Lets jump right in and see what products I used up and if I loved or hated them...
Joico Moisture Recovery Conditioner- I purchased this from TJ Maxx as a pair with the shampoo-obviously I used the condition up first. I was shocked that this is marketed for dry hair because the formula is so light that I did not even feel like this did much for my hair. The scent was clean but I wouldn't repurchase this conditioner again.
Head & Shoulders Damage Rescue Conditioner- Ahh yes another cult favorite showing up in my empties posts on the regular. Yes, I love this and yes, I will continue to repurchase time and time again. It is that simple really--stick to what you like.
Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Moist Deeeeep Conditioner- Again, another fabulous holy grail product that I purchase on the regular. This is a great drugstore deep conditioner to use once a week or even every wash. The smell is tropical and the formula isn't overly heavy. Will repurchase.
Swisspers Cotton Rounds- I believe that I purchased these cotton rounds from Wal-Mart for a few dollars. I actually don't love them. I like the ones from Ulta or the Up & Up Brand ones from Target better. These had a lot of extra cotton pieces that would often fluff off on my face or when I took my nail polish off.
Downy Unstoppables in Shimmer & Glow- I add these into all of my laundry-- just leaves everything smelling fresh for weeks and not to mention soft as well. Shimmer (pink) is probably my favorite flavor followed by Glow (gold). There are two other scents available one is a lavender scent which I don't care for and a fresh linen scent which is also good. I will repurchase when I find them on-sale.
Tarte Amazonian Clay Bronzer in Park Avenue Princess- I got this bronzer in a travel size kit from Tarte. I did like the over color of the bronzer because it wasn't overly orange but did have some shimmer. I used this for more of an overall bronze instead of for contouring because I prefer a matte bronzer. If you are looking for a good bronzer that isn't overly shimmery then this is for you. I will not purchase because I like other bronzers better. This was alright.
Urban Decay de-slick Makeup Setting Spray- Another holy grail product of my life. If you have oily skin or need to wear makeup for a number of hours continuously then this baby will be your friend. I spray this on after I have finished my whole application of makeup and then sometimes throughout the day just to refresh my face. This also helps your touch-ups not look so cakey. I would tell everyone to try a finishing spray.
Laura Gellar Air Whipped Bronzer- Sad story about this product. I purchased it off of Hautelook a few months ago and when I opened the product for the first time over half of the product was dried up and crusty. I never did get to use this-- I was saving it for a blog post but I decided to just throw it out now. I do have an air whipped blush by Laura Gellar that I really love so I did have high hopes for this product. Have you tried this air whipped bronzer before?
Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips- If you suffer from blackheads then these little babies are for you. I honestly don't use them as often as I should so I don't get great results over time but when I do use them I see a lot of gunk leaving my face. I will repurchase but I am not going to rush out and buy them right away.
Crest 3D White Toothpaste in Arctic Fresh- I also purchase the Crest 3D White Toothpaste- flavor doesn't matter but I just like how clean my mouth feels after using this. I am not sure if this really makes my teeth any whiter but I am an avid coffee drinker and my teeth seem to be fairly white still.
Clinique Liquid Facial Soap Mild- I received this as a sample after buying some Clinique products. I actually thought this did a good job of removing makeup and not leaving my skin overly tight. I would purchase but I have other cleanser I am going to use up first or prefer more.
Philosophy Purity One-Step Facial Cleanser- I love love this facial cleanser. I heard about it from Casey Holmes on YouTube she raves about this product so I finally broke down and got this sample size. I love that the ingredients are gentle and doesn't include any acne medications. I have another bottle in my shower now that I am enjoying.
Batiste Dry Shampoo In A Hint of Colour Medium & Brunette- I purchase my dry shampoo's from TJ Maxx for $5.99. I am not overly picky about the scent or flavor really. I usually try to get the ones that are meant for darker hair just because the white cast is usually less. I have a stash of these babies and I will continue to use them up. Holy Grail product for sure.
Batiste Dry Shampoo in Floral & Flirty Blush- This is one of the first cans in the non-coloured bottles I have used. I was actually surprised that this didn't leave more of a white cast like other dry shampoo's can. I actually loved the fresh scent this has. I would definitely repurchase this in the future.
Sun Labs Self Tanning Lotion Ultra Dark Instant Tint in Dark- I have had this product for over a year or two. I love the green tint to this and the color guard. I like the dupe of this product better from Sally's Beauty Supply called Tanwise. The formula is practically the same and is a hell of a lot cheaper. Check that out instead of this Sunlabs lotion.
Bath & Body Works Triple Moisture Body Cream in White Citrus- I am not a huge fan of the Triple Moisture Formula I find it to be a bit greasy and overall not all that moisturizing. I love the scents that are available but I would rather apply my favorite non-scented lotion from Nivea and call it a day. I won't repurchase this particular formula anymore.
Bliss High Intensity 24-Heaven Healing Body Balm- I actually really loved this body balm. The scent was really 'heavenly' almost clean and fresh. I loved how the cream rubbed into the skin quickly and did not leave a film after drying completely. I know Bliss products are often at TJ Maxx so I am going to keep my eye open for this there for a better price than at Sephora or Ulta.
Sally Hansen Creme Hair Remover for Face- This is another holy grail product and this tube isn't totally empty but rather was getting old so I decided to pitch this tube and buy another. I love how quickly and painlessly this removes unwanted facial hair. If you are looking for an inexpensive way to remover your mustache or side burns check out this product.
Paris Hilton Bath & Shower Gel- This came in a perfume set that I received for a holiday awhile back. I usually threw this into my travel bag because of the compact size. If you haven't checked out Paris Hiltons first scent in the pink and black swirled bottle I suggest you check it out. The body wash lathered nicely but I wouldn't repurchase on its own.
Caress Evenly Gorgeous Exfoliating Body Wash in Burnt Brown Sugar & Karite Butter- I love all of the body washes that Caress makes. I am constantly repurchasing these but I think this is my favorite cold weather scent such a rich warm scent. Keep your eyes peeled and check them out.
Listerine Cool Mint Mouthwash- I am not a big mouth wash user which probably isn't the best. I have been trying harder recently to remember to use mouthwash after brushing for that added freshness and cleanliness. I actually love the burn that Listerine has and I prefer the blue or green flavors.
Whew! Hopefully you guys learned a few things by reading up on my empties. I love these posts because you get to see what people are actually using. This time I really didn't have a lot of make-up products but I know my everyday stash has a few things that are getting close to being finished so hopefully next time I will more makeup products for you guys! Stay tuned for more blog posts including reviews and looks.
