Product Empties July 2017

Sunday Riley Luna Sleeping Night Oil - On the pricy side but worth it. This is a great night oil I use about twice a week-which also helps the product last a long time. I find this is really great at getting rid of any texture I have overnight. I have repurchased this but in the smaller bottle

Garnier Fructis Damage Eraser - Still my favorite hair mask -  I have about 6 jars I bought off Amazon. This just helps my mend my split ends and my hair feels instantly softer after using it. I have three jars left to use. 

Clinique Moisture Surge - I didn't like this face cream so I passed it off to my husband to use. He finished the jar but didn't like it either so I wont be repurchasing it again. I found it to be a wired gel formulation that left my face feeling very sticky and like there was a film residue on my face. I didn't like using it in the morning as I found my foundation would be patchy and awe foul. 

Clinique Moisture Surge Intense - This is by far my favorite face cream. It is so different from just the regular moisture surge. It is an in between cream and gel formulation. It glides over your skin and it leaves your skin feeling velvety smooth. My makeup just glides on effortlessly when I have this face cream on and my skin feels extra hydrated. 

Clinique All About Eyes - It's ok.....that's the best way I can describe this eye cream. It wasn't the worst eye cream I've ever used but it wasn't the best. I don't think I'll be repurchasing this again but I do want to try Clinique rich eye cream to see if that one would be better for my dry under eye area. 

Jergens Moisture for Wet Skin - I love this lotion but I do prefer the Argan Oil over the Green Tea Oil. I have one Argan Oil formulation on the go and I have one backup for when I run out. 

Mac Fix+ - LOVE this face spray. I use this after I powder, I find that even with my dry skin I still need to set my makeup otherwise it wont stay in place....but if I powder my face I look like I have a cake face. This takes that cake face away completely! That means I can powder and lock my makeup in but still look flawless. I have already repurchased two new bottles. 

Josie Maran Whipped Mud Mask - I do love this mask when I feel my skin needs some extra moisture but it is very expensive. I haven't repurchased this mask as I am trying some cheaper options but if they don't work out I would defiantly go back to this mask.

L'Oreal Elnett  Satin Hairspray - Make sure if you ever try this to get the Extra Strong Hold UNFRAGRANCED. I can't stay the fragrance smell of this hair spray but I love the hold that this gives. I was so happy when I found the unfragranced formula and I don't think I would ever try another hairspray ever again. This is a strong hold hair spray that you can brush right out. It gives the perfect amount of hold but still allows your curls to bounce and look natural. Your hair will never look or feel crunch no matter how much product you put in. 

Product Empties April 2017

Moroccanoil Dry Shampoo Light Tones - This dry shampoo was in my January Favorites and I still stand by what I said. This is a great dry shampoo but I did find another one that I like a little bit better which I mentioned in my March Favorites. Although it never hurts to have more than one dry shampoo option on hand so I defiantly will be repurchasing the Moroccanoil Dry Shampoo.

Sephora Super Smoothing Lip Butter - This was an amazing lip balm - yes I said "was". Unfortunately it doesn't look like Sephora is restocking this lip balm anymore so I'm going to have to find a new favorite. I had several of these around the house. It was amazing! It kept my lips hydrated and had a bit of a pink tint to it. If you know of my similar dupes please feel free to leave them in the comments below for me to try.

Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray - Still my go to setting spray. I have used up so many bottles I've lost track. This is a must every single day and I already have a new one on the go.

Sephora Mud Mask - I'm not completely finished with this product but it has dried up so I've repurchased a new one. This is a great mask that helps with any texture or imperfections. It will dry out your skin so I would only use it once a week. Because I use it so sparingly the product lasts a long time but you have to be careful because it will dry up quickly.

Burt's Bees Baby Oil - I love to use oil instead of lotion as I find that lotion can leave my skin a little sticky. This is a great oil, it soaks into your skin quickly and leaves it feels soft and silky.

Drybar Triple Sec - This has popped up in a few monthly favorites, I love this product! This is a little sample size I purchased to try out before committing to the full size. Since using this up I have repurchased the full size and I use it almost every single day.

Beauty Blender - I like to replace my Beauty Blender every once in a while. I use mind everyday so there is a lot of wear and tear on my sponge - plus even though I keep it as clean as I can I'm sure there is bacteria collecting on it.

Prada Candy - This is still my favorite scent and yes I have repurchase another one - this time I went for the bigger bottle as well.

Garnier Micellar Water - Finally is my micellar water that I use to take off my eye makeup. I don't find a lot of difference between eye makeup removers so I prefer not to spend too much money for something I use up very quickly. This is a great drugstore option and will remove waterproof mascara without a lot of rubbing.

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!

November Favorites 2016

I'm back!!! I know it's been a while but we've added a new addition to the family...if you want to read more about him you can check out my post Our Family Just Keep Growing.

From September to November has just flown by for my family, my recent looks have been extremely simple and quick to throw together, here are just a few products I have been using and loving.

Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Compact - This is a beautiful powder and I've been using alone or to set my foundation - depends on how busy I am that day.

Moroccanoil Dry Shampoo - This has been a life saver! On the days I don't have time to wash my hair I've been using a dry shampoo and this one is so far my favorite. I know I've probably said that a few times on my blog but this is one I picked up in November and I haven't been able to put it down. This makes my hair feel so clean and refreshed, it also doesn't leave a white cast in my hair so that is always a plus!

Drybar Triple Sec - This is also another great hair product. This is advertised to be a texture spray, volumizer and dry shampoo all in one. I mainly use this as a texture spray and I love it. This gives me texture without making my hair feel dirty or gritty. So far this is my favorite texture spray I have ever tried.

The Estee Edit The Barest Contour Lip Liner - Even when I'm too busy to do my makeup I still like to throw on a lip liner so it looks like I've tried to pull myself together a little. This is  a great nude liner, I have the color 05 In the buff.

Nars Lip Gloss (Orgasm) - To pair with the lip liner I've been going back and forth between two lip glosses, the first is a peachy color from Nars called Orgasm. It's a great nude look that gives a little bit of color.

YSL Gloss Volupte (20 Nude Carat) - The other gloss is by YSL and it is even more nude than the Nars, so I'll wear this with more minimal makeup....it still looks great and like you've pulled yourself together as it has golden shimmer that looks amazing.

Guerlain L'Or Pure Radiance Face Primer - I had to give this primer a try because everyone is always talking about it. This is an amazing face primer and even though I don't feel it helps extend the life on my makeup it just gives my face the most beautiful starting canvas to apply makeup. Plus the gold flecks seem to give a dewy glow under the foundation that looks amazing.

Product Empties | June 2016

Bausch + Lomb Bio True - This has popped up in many empties blog posts, this is still the contact solution that I use every single day. This is a great solution and I can also use it as eye drops when my eyes feel dry so I carry a mini one of these in my purse just in case.

Quo Luxury Oval Cotton Pads - Great cotton pads but REALLY expensive. I've stopped buying these, even though they are great cotton pads because of their larger size it has gotten too expensive to be repurchasing these everyday. I've now switched to just the generic Costco brand which are a lot cheaper.

BareMinerals Concealer in Well Rested - This is a great powder that I use to set my under eye concealer. I've been using this for years and I've already repurchased this product. It keeps your concealer from moving and it provides additional coverage.

Dior Creme De Rose Smoothing Plumping Lip Balm - This is a great lip balm but it's again a very expensive product. This lip balm has a slight rosy tint which is great for when I'm not wearing anything else on my lips. I feel that because I use this everyday it runs out so quickly and got really expensive very quickly so I've switched to the Vaseline lip balm that has a rosy tint....it's much cheaper and feeling just as moisturizing.

Garnier Fructis Damage Eraser Strength Reconstructing Butter - This is a hair mask that has popped up in the past. I've gone through about five of these but I haven't repurchased it because I've been testing out new hair masks....and so far I haven't found anything that can compare. After using this mask my hair felt very moisturized and soft, I will defiantly be repurchasing this again once I run out of some of the other masks that I have on the go right now.

Tony Moly Bbo Bbo Lip Balm - This is a terrible lip balm, it blistered my lips and left them feel more dry than they actually were before I put the lip balm on. I wont be repurchasing this product.

Wella Permanent Liquid Hair Color 8A(Light Ash Blonde) & 7A (Medium Smokey Ash Blonde) - Yes I color my own hair...I've been coloring my own hair for years and I've found that Wella products work really well with my hair. Right now this is my current hair color, basically I mixed the two together because I wasn't sure of what color blonde I wanted to be. I love the color but next time around I'm just going to go with the 8A, the 7A is a little darker than I wanted to go with my blonde.

Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo - This is a great dry shampoo. It comes out white but once you rub it in there is no white cast (even on brown hair). My hair feel refreshed and cleaner without washing it. By far this is my favorite dry shampoo at this time, I have already repurchased another one for my daily use.

Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Moist - This is not a great hair mask. I felt this dried out my hair and left it feeling like straw. If you are looking for a new hair mask definitely skip this one and grab the Garnier.

Product Empties May 2016

L'oreal Elnett Satin Volume Hairspray with Pro-Keratine Extra Strong Hold - Phew, long name for a hairspray. I LOVE L'oreal Elnett hairspray but I really didn't like this formula. It left my hair very crunchy and I prefer the original formal.

Aussie Volume Styling Mousse - This was another miss for me, I tried out this new mousse but it left my hair feeling very crunch. I prefer a more natural feel when I use products.

Clinique Take Off The Day Makeup Remover - I used a few bottles of this and it's an ok makeup remover, just as long as you don't use any waterproof makeup.

Aveeno Baby Gentle Conditioning Shampoo - I was using this shampoo to clean my brushes and it did a very good job. It was gentle on all my brushes and left the bristles feeling very soft afterwards. I haven't repurchased this product as I am trying out a new bar soap to clean them but this is defiantly something I will be repurchasing in the future.

Wella Blondor Soft Blonde - If you follow me on social media you have noticed that about two months ago I went blonde! I did it myself at home using the Wella Blondor. This was really tough to get my hands on because it for professional use only. I did a ton of research before bleaching my hair and I read that this was supposed to be less harmful for your hair than regular powder bleach. I don't know if I would say that as I do have a lot of damage but I really did love the results this gave me.

Josie Maran Pure Argan Milk - This is an intensive hydrating treatment and my face LOVED this stuff. Unfortunately it was really expensive and I used up this product very quickly. If you have the money to splurge on a product I would say definitely give this a try. I've gone back to just my regular Josie Maran Argan oil but I might but this for my skin once in a while as a nice treat.

Tatcha Luminous Dewy Skin Mist - I'm a dry skin girl so anytime I see anything that says "dewy" I'm all over it. I really loved the finish of this mist but I noticed that right around the time of using this my skin started to break up...and when I stopped using this mist my skin cleared up. Unfortunately there is something in this mist that my skin doesn't agree with so I wont be repurchasing this product.

Pureology Fresh Approach Dry Condition - Right around the time I died my hair blonde I stopped washing my hair as often. I needed to find a daily dry shampoo and conditioner to help me extend the life on my hair between washes. This by far is my favorite dry conditioner. It just refreshes my hair and gives me a few extra days between washing. I've already repurchased it and I have a spare for when I run out.

Redken Diamond Oil - Since going blonde I've been trying out tons of new hair masks. Anything to help me to moisture back into my hair. This wasn't my favorite mask, unfortunately i didn't notice a difference when using it so I won't be repurchasing this product.

Palmer's Smoothing Oil - This was sent to me by Palmer's to try out. I have to say body oil is just something I'm starting to get into - used to always use regular lotion but there's something about body oil that leaves your skin softer. I used up this body oil and I really didn't like the smell but I loved the results. I wont be repurchasing this product right away as I am testing out some new body oils but I will be repurchasing this oil in the future.


Have you tired out any of these products? I want to hear your thought on them in the comments below.

Product Empties January 2016 | Products I've Used Up | Ms Pam Blam

I'm getting rid of my beauty trash! Over the past few months I have been moving in my new house and getting settled in. I've put myself on a banned from buying any more beauty products until I use up what I have...I felt that while I was packing I had too much stuff!

Here is what I will be tossing away:

It's a 10 Miracle Leave in Plus Keratin - this is a must have for me. I've found that my hair doesn't like a lot of product in it...the less the better. This is one of the products I use when I get out of the shower...and on my lazy days I will just spray this in and go. It leaves my hair very soft and tangle free! This is on the pricey side especially for being a drugstore purchase (I get mine at Wal Mart) but it's really worth the money.

Caudalie Moisturizing Toner - best toner I've tried so far! I've already repurchased this...and my new one came with a pump which is way better than this packaging. I find the pump lets me control how much product I'm using so hopefully it will last longer. It leaves my skin feeling moisturized and hydrated (which is great for my dry skin)

Caudalie Beauty Elixir - another Caudalie product and another love of mine. I use this product mainly in the summer time to refresh my makeup when it's hot outside. I have repurchased it but it's not currently in my everyday makeup...but I will be pulling it out again in the summertime

Fresh Sugar Nourishing Lip Balm Advanced Therapy - this is a very expensive lip balm! It did work really well but because of the high price tag I'm experimenting with cheaper options and I don't think I will be repurchasing

Ponds Cold Cream Cleanser - technically this isn't an empty or product I've used up but I'm throwing it away anyway. Please don't buy this it's AWFUL! First off the smell is very perfumery and smells like old lady. It was really thick and hard to rub onto my face to remove my makeup. There are so many better cleansers out there I would take a pass on this one.

Dermablend Long Wear Makeup Remover - this stuff was great but hard to get my hands on. This really did remove all of my makeup - even waterproof. The only downside is I couldn't find this anywhere so I bought it on Amazon for A LOT. I haven't repurchased because I don't want to spend that kind of money again but if you can find it locally then I would pick it up.

Sephora Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover - this is okay if you've on a budget. It's better than any drugstore eye makeup remover I've tried but I found I did have to rub a lot to get everything off. I don't particularly like to rub my eyes too much as they are very sensitive. I won't be repurchasing accuse I found a different eye makeup remover that I'm loving much better. 

Ardel Accent 301 - not much to say about these lashes...THEY ARE THE BEST! I've wore them to much, there were my go to lashes for my wedding day. They are just half lashes so very easy to apply and look pretty natural if applied correctly.

LashGrip Glue - this is great glue. It sticks and holds in place all day - I prefer this over the Duo glue.

Ardel Natural Demi Wispies - Sorry about the picture...I didn't realize the flash covered up the lash name - but these are the demi wispies. I find the wispies a little too long so I prefer the demi ones. These are great natural looking lashes. They look like my lashes only longer and fuller.

L'oreal Colour Riche Nails - I'm not big on fake nails but after our move I just can't get my nails to grow out - too much handling boxes and moving furniture around. These nails don't stick at all so I would suggest getting some nail glue to stick them on. They only lasted for about 3 days, after that I felt they were just in the way and I ripped them off. I probably will only keep these for special occasions.

Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray - I don't know why I didn't include this into my 2015 favorites because it SHOULD HAVE BEEN! I use this everyday. It's the best makeup setting spray I have ever used.

Rapid Lash Eyelash Enhancing Serum - I was really disappointed with this serum. I've used a lot of other lash serums in the past and this one didn't seem to do anything. I wont be repurchasing. 

Did you make it to the end!?!?! Way to go! That seemed like a long list. I love finishing up products - it gives me an odd sense of accomplishment when you complete go through a product. 

If you've tried any of these products I would love to know in the comments below what your thoughts were...please share!

Thanks for stopping by my blog.

Product Empties September 2015

Aveeno Active Naturals Positively Smooth Shave Gel with Soy Extracts - This was an OK shaving gel but the bottom of the container rusted and left a ring in my tub which I was not impressed with. I don't think I will repurchase this for that reason

Lancome Bi-Facil Double-Action Eye Makeup Remover - This was a great eye makeup removed. I got these tiny samples from Sephora by redeeming some of my points. I am trying a new eye makeup removed but I don't know if it works as good as this one

Fresh Rose Hydrating Eye Gel Cream - This was my favorite eye cream...that is until I tried the Fresh lotus eye cream. This one is a very light weight eye cream and I wanted something a little bit richer. This really was a great cream and I did enjoy it while it lasted but I wont repurchase, I'll be sticking with the lotus cream (I've already gone through 2 jars)

Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Face Cream With Super 7 Complex - I've gone through 4 jars of this cream...it's amazing. I have VERY dry skin so I do mix this with a beauty oil and my skin just drinks in the moisture. Highly recommend this face cream!

Cover FX Natural Finish Oil Free Foundation - I know a lot of people love this foundation but it just wasn't my thing. I found this sat on top of my skin and looked like I was wearing makeup, I prefer something more natural looking. I wont be repurchasing this

Neutrogena Healthy Skin Eye Cream - I thought I could cheap out on my skin care and just pick something up from the drugstore....but I really didn't like this eye cream. It was greasy and just sat under my eyes. I had to wipe this off with a tissue before applying my makeup

NeoStrata Intense Anti-Aging Eye Cream Fruit Stem Cells - I got this little baby sample with the purchase of my Neostrata eye lash serum, this was an ok eye cream. I was using it as a night time cream because it was a little greasy. I didn't end up repurchasing it

Josie Maran 100 percent Pure Argan Oil - this is a great oil! I used it for a couple different things (mixing with foundation, on the ends of my hair, on my face, ect) This is such a versatile product the things you can do with this oil is endless and I think therefore makes it worth every penny!

Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara - I know a lot of people love this mascara but it just wasn't for me. This was a little baby sample from Sephora, I used it up but I won't be repurchasing the full size. I didn't find anything amazing or spectacular about the formula or brush...it just seemed like a regular mascara so I'll save my money  

 

Product Empties August 2015

MORE BEAUTY TRASH!!! Here is what I'm tossing out this week...

(starting on the top left)

Neutrogena body oil - I LOVE this stuff! It's great for a few different uses...first you can use if as a moisturizer or you can put it in your bubble bath. Personally I love this in my bath, when I get out my skin feels very soft and its a lazy way of moisturizing because I don't have to do it after the bath. 

Neutrogena Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover - This product isn't empty but I'm throwing it away anyway. I didn't like this product at all. Even though it says oil-free I feel it leaves oil around your eyes. Also it doesn't completely remove your eye makeup and will always leave traces of mascara behind. I know it's cheep because its from the drug store but I would skip this. 

OPI "Princesses Rule" - This is one of my favorite colors and I have repurchased the color. It's a very light sparkly pink and looks GREAT on my nails. 

Vita Liberata Luxury Tan tan Mousse - This is just a sample from Sephora that I redeemed some points for. I didn't like this mousse I prefer the St Tropez Tanner instead 

Quo Luxury Oval Cotton Pads - These are the best cotton pads! They are bigger than the round cotton pads and they get off your makeup really well. 

(now going from the bottom left)

Ardell Accent 301 - These are my favorite lashes and since they were on sale recently at London Drugs...I stocked up!!!

Laura Mercier Loose Setting Powder - This is the BEST setting powder that I can find. These works even with my dry skin to set my makeup and make it last longer. It comes with the puff which I didn't really use it with, I actually prefer to dip my damp Beauty Blender into the powder and set my makeup. Just a note that this is the smaller travel size (the powder last a  long time so I don't bother buying the full size one), the travel size comes with the puff but if you buy the bigger size it doesn't come with a puff. I have already repurchased this powder. 

NeoStrata Lash Enhancer Serum - I did try to make my own lash serum to save money...but nothing compares to this. This lash serum is on the pricey side but I feel that it is worth every penny. My lashes have grown out so much they touch  my eyelid...which makes putting on mascara very challenging because it likes to transfer. Before using this I had really short stumpy lashes...it took a long time to grow, give it about 6 months. Buy this on sale because it is very expensive, I already picked a few up on sale for backups. 

Evian facial spray - The aisle of doom got me at Sephora. I don't know why I picked this up but it's a waste of money. Why I thought water would set my makeup is beyond me! I should have returned this but instead I used it like a spray bottle to wet my hair...which I could do for free by getting water out of the tap. Don't bother with this spray...there are so many amazing sprays out there that set your makeup. If you need a recommendation I would say get Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray, this is like hairspray for your face. Trust me your makeup will not move.

Lancome Bi Facial Double Action Eye Makeup Remover - This has been in a few of my empties and it's no supprise that this is still my favorite eye makeup remover. Yes it is on the pricey side but nothing has even compared to this so far. 

Thank you for stopping by my blog! I hope you enjoyed reading about my beauty trash. 

Product Empties July 2015

Here is what's in my beauty trash for the month:

Starting on the top row on the left hand side

Bausch+Lomb Biotrue: This is the contact solution and I think this has already bee in an empties. I love this contact solution it was recommend to me by my optometrist, it's the only contact solution I will ever use.

Aveeno Baby wash & shampoo: I use this as a brush cleaner and it has been great. It leaves my brushes clean and soft, I even use this to clean my beauty blender as I am allergic to the beauty blender cleanser.

Neutrogena Wet Skin Sunscreen Spray: I do not like rubbing in sunscreen so I always pick something that you just have to spray on. This sunscreen is great and I love using it when I'm working out and know I'm going to be sweating. I went through a few bottles last year and unfortunately this one isn't empty but it did expire. I have already picked up a replacement for the summer time.

Sephora Triple Action Cleansing Water: I used this with a cotton pad to take off my makeup. I love that is has a pump so you don't waste product. It does a great job at taking off face makeup...but not eye makeup. You do need a second makeup remover just for the eyes. I haven't repurchased a new one because I am trying out some new products but if they don't work out I will be going back to this.

London Drugs Vanilla Bubbling Body Bath: Bubble bahts are my favorite! This was on sale at London Drugs so I picked up a couple. This is great for bath time!

Josie Maran 100% Pure Argan Oil Light: I bought this in a set from Sephora where you got the 100% argan oil and the 100% light argan oil. It was a great value and you got to try both oils. I prefer the regular 100% oil, I will not be repurchasing the light.

got2b volumizing styling powder: I bought this powder in hopes that it would give my hair some volume. This is a white powder that shows up in my brunette hair, it is really messy and gets everywhere! I don't feel its very voluminous...I would not repurchase this product.

Maybelline Great Lash: I was using this for my brows and I thought it was a great product....that was until I tried the Anastasia clear brow gel. I am not going to repurchase this for my brows.

Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Serum: This is another product I would not repurchase. This is a very light eye serum and I like a heavy eye cream at night. I am trying out a new product and I think I like it better. I will not be repurchasing this serum.

Living Proof Prime Style Extender Spray: I like that this is a spray, I don't like getting a lot of product on my hands. I feel that this is a very gimmicky product. I don't feel it helps my style last longer at all. My hair style lasts the same with or without using the spray.

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Water-Light Daily Face Sunscreen: Another product that isn't empty but it was expired. I was using this product every day last year during summer. It's a great sunscreen for your face but since this is expired and I need to get rid of it I'm going to experiment with new sunscreens this summer. I may or may not repurchase this depending on what I try.

Bath&Body Works anti-bacterial hand gel: I am someone who keeps hand gel in the purse 24/7. This is a great hand gel because it smells good, great travel size and doesn't dry out your hands too much. I have repurchased these in a few different scents. This sent was warm vanilla sugar....it was a great scent.

Vaseline Lip Therapy: This was a lifesaver in the winter! My lips were so dry this past winter that no lip product was working. This is great if you are having extremely dry and cracked lips. It really saved me, I went through a few of these. Now that it's the summer my lips are as dried so I'm using a different product at the moment but I may go back to this during the winter again, I will have to see how things go.

That's my beauty trash for the month! I hope you enjoyed

Product Empties June 2015

Epsom Salt - I love these salts for my bath...which is why i buy such large containers. This is a must for bath time and I've already repurchased more

Vanilla Bubbling Body Bath - another must have for bath time. This is great to mix with the Epsom salt to make an amazing bath time experience

Calgon Ageless Bath Nourishing Mild Bath - this is another bath product, this bath product is infused with vitamin E, collagen and pearl powder. This is a milk bath that is for softer skin. When I use this in my bath I find I don't have to lotion after my bath because my skin is very silky smooth

Calgon Ageless Bath Renewing Bath Pearls - yes another bath product! We've been having a ton a baths lately in our house. This product isn't as great as some other bath products that I've tried.

Dove Deep moisture hydration body wash - not my favorite body wash but it does leave your skin feeling soft. I'm trying something new that I think I like a little better....still on that hunt for my holly grail body wash

Neutrogena body emulsion concentrated lotion - I bought this product by mistake, I went to repurchase another Neutrogena lotion and picked this one up by mistake. Its not as great as the other one

Nivea Gel Cellulite Gel - another gimmicky product. I was hoping this would help the cellulite on my legs but unfortunately it did absolutely nothing

Tarte clean slate timeless smoothing primer - this is just a sample I got from Sephora and it has been an amazing primer! I picked up another one during the VIB Rouge sale

Christian Dior Creme De Rose - This is about my 5th tube of this product. It is just amazing! IT is on the pricey side but it's a great product. I'm trying out some new lip products that are a little cheaper to try and save some money....still undecided on how I feel about the new products

Giorgio Armani Eyes To Kill - best mascara ever! This packaging isn't the greatest because I find it doesn't close all the way. I think it dried out really quickly because of this. I just repurchased this maraca in the waterproof formula and I noticed that the packaging has changed which is awesome! They seemed to fix this problem so I'm hoping my new tube lasts longer

Product Empties May 2015

Nivea Good-Bye Cellulite Serum - I've been trying to get my hands on this product for a few years now. It's very hard to come by where I live and unfortuantly I was dispointed when I finally did get a hold of it. This is nothing more than a gimmicy product like other cellulite products

Neutrogena Fast Absorbing Hand Cream - best hand cream ever! I work with a lot of paper and my hands get dried out very quickly, I always make sure I have a tube of this stuff on my desk

Garnier Fructis Damage Eraser - best hair mask ever! Yes I have already replaced this one

Adidas Fitness Fresh - best deoderant ever! I have already picked up another one

Calgon Ageless Bath Renewing Bath Pearls - I love taking baths, this bath product is a must have for me and I have already repurchased another one

Bed Head Superstar Volumizing Leave in Conditioner - this smells like cotton candy! It was one of my favorite leave in conditioners but I've been playing around with other brands and I've falling in love with so many others

Bath & Body Works anti-bacterial hand gel warm vanilla sugar - this stuff is great for keeping in your purse! I always have one on hand

Bio True multi purpose solution - I thought I would throw this in here, I'm a new contact wearer and I just love this solution. My eyes never feel dried out and if they ever do you can use this as eye drops

Lancome Di Facial double action eye makeup remover - so far favorie eye makeup remove I have found! I think I have 2 backup bottles on hand right now, I never want to be without this stuff

Stila smudge stick waterproof eye liner - I got this for free when I bought a Stila eye shadow pallete, it was an ok eye liner but not my favorite

Physicians formuala eye booster 2 in 1 boosting eyeliner + serum - I have tried other eyeliners but this is still my favorite!!! Something about this formula just goes on really smooth and doesnt budge an inch until I use my Lancome eye makeup remove. I have already repurahsed another one!
