more trash!! this is exciting for me to be able to finish products up. the cabinet under my sink is slowly but surely emptying. i am not allowing myself to buy anything that i already have multiples of, so these posts are making feel like i am making progress on the product using endeavor.
1. Lush Party Popper Bath Bomb- I really didn’t
like this bath bomb. It really didn’t make my skin feel nice after using it,
and I hated the smell. I know, I know, you are all like WHAT? Why did I buy it
if I hated the scent? Well, I bought it online because it looked cool and the
description sounded nice. I have to saw that I was very disappointed and will
not purchase this bomb again. Though, I believe it was limited edition with the
Lush holiday stuff.
Would I repurchase? No.
2. Lush Golden Wonder Bath Bomb- click HERE for a full review of this product.
Would I repurchase? Yes.
3. Nivea Crème- this cream is something my sister
turned me onto. It is super rich and moisturizing—one of those lotions that
leaves a greasy feeling after applying. It’s not my favorite but the travel
containers of this lotion make it unbeatable for me. I travel a lot and having to
only take this little container of lotion to help combat my dry skin really
makes a huge difference in my already massive toiletry bad. I will repurchase
this product for travel only. Definitely a lotion you want to apply right
before bed and NOT before getting dressed.
Would I repurchase? Yes.
4.
Chance Eau Fraiche by Chanel Eau de Toilette
(Sample)- I received this when I purchased something at the chanel beauty
counter a while back. I recently decided to begin going through all my sample
and pulled this one out for a go. I really enjoyed this fragrance. It was a
light, clean floral scent that was sweet and young. It’s definitely a fragrance
I would consider buying a full size of in the future.
5. Benefit Bad Gal Lash (Sample)- this mascara was
ok. Nothing that I would write home about or tell my sisters to run out and
buy. I found that it really didn’t live up to hype in my opinion and was just average
mascara. Definitely not worth the price tag, and something I would not
repurchase.
Would I repurchase? No.
6. Macadamia Natural Oil Deep Repair Masque (one
time use packet)- many beauty bloggers rave on and on about this hair
treatment. I have picked it up numerous times in stores with the intention of
buying it, only to put it back. I saw the one time use packet and grabbed it
immediately. Hallelujah! Am I glad I didn’t buy the big tub! Firstly, it is
super expensive. And secondly, I really did not like it. I don’t have the
patience for a five to seven minute wait time. I know that you can do other
things in the shower while waiting for this to soak in, however, I have so much
hair that no matter what I do to hold my hair up and out of water during a
treatment, it NEVER stays. I also didn’t think that it did all that much for my
hair. I found that the Neutrogena triple moisture masque made my hair feel
softer and more nourished than this one.
Would I repurchase? No.
7. Diorshow Maximizing Lash Plumping Serum- I love
big voluminous lashes of the crazy variety. I hate false lashes, they make my
eyes itchy, and so I am always trying to make my lashes more full. Though I
don’t wear makeup or mascara everyday so I cant comment on the serum aspect of
this product, as a primer it was amazing. I have already repurchased this
product and it has become a staple in my makeup regime.
Would I repurchase? YES!
8.
Voluspa Goji Tarocco Orange Candle x2- i love this candle. i have a full post on it, pretty much just proclaiming my love for this candle. click HERE to read.
Would I repurchase? YES!
9. Suave Keratin Infusion Dry Shampoo- I hated this
dry shampoo. It made my hair feel as though it had tons of product in it, and
it almost felt as though I had a ton of hairspray in my hair. I really wanted
to like it because it is only three dollars and super cost effective, but I had
to struggle to use it all. The only upside to this dry shampoo was that it made
messy buns look amazing, but then again, how amazing can a messy bun look?
Would I repurchase? No.
10. Colure True Color Care Richly Moisture Shampoo-
this shampoo smells phenomenal. I loved this shampoo. It has extended my color
and made my curls/waves much more manageable because it is sulfate-free. I have
the large and small bottles of these shampoos, and they last a while
considering how much shampoo I use in the shower. I have repurchased this shampoo
before and will do so again in the future, but will not repurchase the
conditioner. I do wish however that it was easier to get a hold of, but I have
to order it straight from the manufacturer online.
Would I repurchase? Yes.
11. Caldera Citron Ginger Candle x2- another candle that i love. click HERE to read more about this candle, because again it warranted its own post.
Would I repurchase? Yes.
12. Aveeno Pure Renewal Sulfate-Free Shampoo- I love
this shampoo so much more than the conditioner. For a sulfate-free shampoo, it’s
an amazing clarifier. My biggest problem with sulfate-free shampoos is not the
lather, because I use so much shampoo that I can get it to lather. However,
many of them leave residue build-up and aren’t the best for cleaning my hair. This
shampoo does not and I can use it over and over again. I do use it as I would
use a clarifying shampoo, once or twice a week and has become a staple in my
shower/life.
Would I repurchase? YES!
13. Batiste Dry Shampoo Original Scent- this is my
new dry shampoo. Its ten dollars less that my previous favorite, Klorane dry
shampoo. I like this dry shampoo the most because it left no feeling of residue
in my hair at all. I spray dry shampoo in my hair at night so that all the
residue is gone by the morning, but often times the powdery residue is usually
left behind the following morning but not with the batiste.
Would I repurchase? Yes.
14. Alba Botanica Very Emollient Cream Shave Mango
Vanilla Scent- I use the schick intuition razor and bought this for travel, but
I never travelled with it. So to use it, I used it as a in-shower lotion. It
actually worked well in that sense rather well. It smelled nice and depending
on how some of the other shower lotions I currently have work, I may or may not
repurchase this product. But if you use a razor without pre-attached soap, I
would recommend this shave cream.
Would I repurchase? Don't know.
15. Olay Luscious Embrace Moisturizing Body Wash- my
sister bought this and I ended up using it. I really liked this body wash
actually. It smelled nice and was really moisturizing. I would definitely
repurchase this at some point, but body wash is something that I am not lacking
in my beauty cupboard at the moment.
Would I repurchase? Yes.
16. Wei Golden Root Purifying Mud Mask (Birchbox
Sample)- this mask burned my skin. Now I regularly use the queen helene mint
julep mask, which also has a tingling sensation, but this mask actually felt
like it was burning my skin. Also the sample size had enough for multiple uses,
but dried out so I couldn’t use it again. All in all, I didn’t really feel like
this mask did all that much, and it irritated my skin.
I will not buy this
product. No. no. no.
17. Colure True Color Care Richly Moisture
Conditioner (Original Review)- a while back, I dyed my hair red. My stylist recommended this line
of products to help keep the red color in my hair. I am now back to blonde, but
still enjoy this line of haircare. It smells amazing. Fruity and tropical and
the smell lingers in your hair. This conditioner is watery in consistency, but
moisturizes your hair nonetheless. It is on the expensive side at $25 for this
small bottle. I would repurchase this product but not in the recent future. I
have found other sulfate-free products that are much cheaper. But I will really
miss this product for its wonderful smell.
Would I repurchase? Yes.
18. Walgreens Saline Wound Wash x2- this stuff is
amazing. I bought this because I recently got a new piercing and had to keep it
clean. The piercing salon I went to recommended this, and I could not have been
happier. I have a few piercing and with each I was told to clean it
differently. However, from now on, I will be using this. It makes taking care
of fresh piercing super simple with little clean up. I could not recommend this
more for piercings.
Would I repurchase? Yes.
19. VO5 Hot Oil Weekly Treatment- I wanted to try
this hair oil because some beauty bloggers from the UK rave about a similar
product that is not sold in the US. However due to the fact that the amount of
oil is predetermined, I found this product insufficient for my long hair. There
was not enough oil in one tube for a single application. And at four dollars
for two little tubes, I will not be purchasing this product again. It was an
oil treatment that you use before you shampoo and that only stay in your hair
for one minute. I found that it didn’t do all that much either. I find that
this will probably work better for someone with thinner hair or less of it than
me.
Would I repurchase? No.
phew! that was a long post. it took me a while to compile all these empties because they are from my parents houses and my home, etc. also, there was just a lot of products. geesh. i already have another good number of things for another empties post! crazy. i always thought i hoarded stuff--which dont get me wrong, i do--but this is just proving to me that im actually not wasting all my money. however, im no making a dent in any of my body moisturizers.
