Product Empties February 2017

TreSemme Keratin Smooth Heat Protection Shine Spray - I am a stickler when it comes to heat protection sprays. My hair is color treated and very brittle so I always make sure to use a heat spray when using hot tools. This is a great drugstore option, it left my hair feel soft and smooth. I wont be repurchasing another one at this time as I probably have five other open bottles of different types of heat spray on to go at the moment but it is defiantly on my repurchase list for the future.

Ion Weekly Blonde-Boosting Treatment - This is an unnecessary product. I thought this would act like a toner to help with my blonde hair in between color treatments but to be honest it did nothing. I couldn't tell a difference in my hair when I was using it, just get yourself a good purple shampoo and skip this.

Sephora Instant Nail Polish Remover For Glitter - This stuff is amazing. Its a fast way to remove nail polish and it gets EVERYTHING off! Even polish that is darker and hard to remove, this will get it off no problem. It lasted a really long time and is very inexpensive. I've already repurchased another one.

GHD Heat Protect Spray - Another heat protector, this one smells amazing! But honestly it was very expensive and works just as good as cheaper heat sprays you can get at the drugstore so I wouldn't repurchase this again.

Prada Candy - This is my new signature scent! Highly recommend going into a store and trying it first, also I would get a sample to take home. In the store this has a different smell and I liked it more once I got home and had worn the scent for a few hours. It's very sweet and the smell lasts a long time.

Sephora Instant Moisturizer - If you are looking for some affordable skincare I've had a lot of luck with the Sephora brand. This is almost drugstore price but honestly I don't like any skincare products that I've tried at the drugstore. This was a great moisturizer for dry skin, it sits very well under makeup and I highly recommend trying this out.

Shiseido WrinkleResist 24 Eye Cream - This is my go to eye cream, I think I've gone through about three pots. I have very dark circles with very fine lines under my eyes. This helps cover and hydrate my under eye area. It preps it for makeup and I think it has improved my under eye area.

Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo - This used to be my go to dry shampoo but now I've found another that I love even better. This will leave a bit of a white cast in your hair so if you have dark roots like me you do have to be careful. This will leave your hair feeling clean and refreshed.

Josie Maran Whipped Mud Mask - These are amazing and if you haven't tried them yet you NEED to try them. My favorite scents are the Vanilla Apricot and Cucumber Aloe....but lets face it all the scents are amazing! These will leave your skin feeling hydrated and refreshed. I love to use these with an eye mask on a relaxing pamper night.

Caudalie Beauty Elixir - A staple for anyone with dry skin. This face mist is amazing and just gives you a refreshed feeling to dry skin. I will use this several different ways and it is always a must have in my makeup collection.

December Empties 2016

I've been using up a lot of products recently and it's finally time to toss a few.

Amika Un.Done Texture Spray - I just bought a small size of this texture spray to try out and I'm very happy I did because it just wasn't for me. I'm still searching for that perfect texture spray but this didn't work well with my hair, this one really didn't give me enough texture I was looking for.

Shiseido Extra Creamy Cleansing Foam - This is a face wash I've been using for a long time but it's time for a change. This face wash does an amazing job cleansing but it left my face feeling stripped of it's moisture. I'm on the hunt for a new one that gives me a clean feeling but doesn't strip my skin.

Adidas Absorbent-Deo - I'm pretty sure this has been in some past product empties because it is till amazing...there is honestly no better deodorant out there.

Wella Leave in Conditioning Spray - Great product, crappy packaging. I loved this product for when I got out of the shower. I have very long hair that tends to get tangled so a leave in conditioner is a  must for me when I get out of the shower. This is defiantly one of my top favorites but the packaging leaked and it wasted so much product. This has to be stored up right which doesn't work in my bathroom so I wont be repurchasing this again...unless the packaging changes.

Arbonne Makeup Primer - A great makeup primer, this provides a great first layer before foundation and will help your makeup last longer throughout the day. Highly recommend for all skin types.

Estee Lauder Double Wear Concealer - Still my must have concealer, this stays on all day and provides amazing coverage. I've already repurchased a new one.

Benefit Gimme Brow - This is by far my favorite brow gel, it glues your brows into place and locks them in all day. I've already repurchased a new one, my only complaint would be this doesn't last long but I guess most brow gels typically don't last very long.

Josie Maran Whippped Mud Mask (Sweet Basil Mint/Sweet Citrus/ Lavender Citrus) - These are amazing mud masks! Highly recommend! Most mud masks feel my skin a little dry after I take them off and I feel like I have to moisture immediately after...not these ones. My skin feels hydrated and glowy after a treatment. I love these masks and I still have a few more to use up but I will definitely be repurchasing these after I run out.

Dior Pore Minimizer Primer - I didn't like this primer at all and it's not actually empty but the pump broke so I can't get anymore product out. This didn't minimize my pores, it didn't even extend the life on my makeup. The only thing I think this primer did do is make my makeup look cakey.

Ion Cool Blonde Shampoo - I love this purple shampoo, by far I think it's my most favorite I've come across. This really helps to ton my hair between colors and it leaves my hair with an icy blonde look. Love and I'm defiantly repurchasing.

That's it for my product empties! Let me know in the comments below if you have tried out any of these products and what your thoughts are.

Thanks for stopping by!

What's In My Shower? | Shower Products

I always love reading other beauty blogs and finding out what's in other people's shower. I find that I get to discover and learn about so many products that people use everyday, it's helped me discover some holy grail products. As you can see I like to keep several different products in my shower - I really like to mix things up so I have options for shampoos, masks, ect. My hair is always changing and sometimes my needs when I shower differ day to day.

Starting with shampoos, I like to keep three on hand. First is my purple shampoo Ion Cool Blonde, this is a great shampoo and it helps tone my blonde hair when I see it going a little brassy. This isn't something that I use everyday because I don't want my hair to get discolored but I use it about 2-3 times a week. Next is the Moroccanoil Moisture Repair Shampoo, this is a great shampoo for moisturizing my dry hair. My hair has always been dry but since going blonde I feel like I've stripped the moisture right out of it. This helps replenish my hair and it really feels soft after I use this. Finally I have the Avalon Organics Clarifying Shampoo, this is a great clarifying shampoo. Whenever I feel my hair has a lot of build up I love to use this shampoo, it gives some shine back to my hair and makes it feel very clean.

I've only got two conditioners in my shower, the first is the Moroccanoil Moisture Repair Conditioner, this is something I use when I want my hair to be extra soft and moisturized. The other conditioner I have if the AG Sterling Silver Conditioner, I don't keep the actual bottle in my shower because I got the jumbo bottle so I refill a travel size bottle and keep that in my shower instead. This is an ok purple conditioner and I only use it when I use my purple shampoo. I really want to switch to the Ion Cool Blonde conditioner but every time I try to buy it, it's always sold out. I'm really hoping to get my hands on it soon but for now the AG is an ok product.

I love a good hair mask, right now I'm in between three great ones. First is another Ion product, it's the Ion Cool Blonde Weekly-Blonde Boosting Treatment. I use this mask once a week and its to help neutralize any brassiness I have in my blonde hair. Then I have the Wella Enrich, this is a moisturizing treatment for fine hair, this makes my hair feel silky soft. I try to use this once a week to give my hair an extra boost of moisture. Finally I have the Moroccanoil Intense Hydrating Mask, this is a mask I use when my hair feels damaged and is in need of some restoring. This mask is for deep hydration and conditioning.

For my face I keep my Shiseido Extra Creamy Cleansing Foam and Clarisonic Plus. I love my Clarisonic, this is by far the best skincare purchase I have ever made. I do like the Shiseido cleanser but I think it works a little too well. By that I mean my skin is squeaky clean after I wash it to the point where it feels a little dried out. I hate wasting product so I'll be finishing off this tube but I'm researching new cleansers to try that are a bit more moisturizing and wont dry out my skin.

Finally for my body I have the Dove Gentle Exfoliating Beauty Bar, I like to use bars instead of liquid soap - I don't know why it's just personal preference. This bar is great because it exfoliates and leaves me with a moisturized cleaned feeling - highly recommended if you are not satisfied with liquid body washers....trust me I've tried so many and nothing compares to this bar. Finally is the Calgon Ageless Bath Softening Body Oil, in addition to switching up my body wash to a bar I've also been using body oil instead of body lotion. I spray this on when I'm still in the shower and then I pat dry with a towel. My skin has been loving the oil more than any lotion I've ever tried! For anyone with dry skin I highly recommend trying this trick out.

That's it for whats in my shower! Share in the comments below what are some must haves in your shower.
