May 2021 Empties!

 

 

 

May? Is that you? I thought it was just April. The year has gone by with the blink of an eye. I feel like the month goes by fast when you least expect it. I managed to finish quite a few things this month and hopefully, I finish more things next month...cause I bought over 400 new things this month already....

I liked the Elemis Superfood Cica serum. It went on smoothly but, it was a bit tacky. It felt nice against my skin during the warmer days. I liked the Evolue super oil but, I am not sure if it did much. It had a bit of a greasy feeling on my fingertips.

I heard good things about Micellar water and thought I would get on the bandwagon. I am not impressed with the Hello Fab makeup melter. It took several applications to remove my eye makeup and I had to follow up with additional cleanser.  I had a similar experience with the Pacifica makeup wipes. I had to put additional makeup remover on each wipe to remove my eye makeup.

Here is everything I finished this month -

Evolue Super Oil

January 2021 Haul!

 

 

I can't believe it is already January 2021! The entire year went by so quickly. But, I hope this year is better this year...

I got a few masks from Facetory. I been using sheet masks more frequently and have noticed my skin looking more radiant and it's softer. I bought a new skin routine from Perricone MD for acne. I hate getting those cystic acne that comes and goes in a non-stop cycle. 

I got a few lip products that I am super excited over. I got this new lip balm from a brand called La Muse. It reminds me of the Fresh lip balm. I wonder if it will be similar. I bought another lipstick from Huda in Alluring. I didn't realize it was matte. I am moving away from the matte lipstick since, I found that they can be very drying. I got a new lipstick lip gloss from Trust Fund Beauty that I am excited to try. Colourpop had a 25% off sale and I bought a few of their Disney lipsticks.  I got a few lip products from Philosophy but, I have been using their lip products for awhile. They are okay but, smell amazing.

I am really excited to try the Elemis Frangipani Monoi because my skin gets really dry during the winter. And I hate putting on cold cream during the cold weather. I have tried a few GlamGlow products and they are sometimes hit and miss. I am excited to try their Gentlebubble cleanser. I think the packaging. I bought quite a few things that I am super excited to try. Did you get anything during the holiday season you are excited to try?

 

July 2020 Empties Part 2!

I am so excited I finished roughly 18 full-sized items this month in addition to what I already finished earlier. But, I have a stinky suspicion I definitely adding more than I am finishing haha. I recently began hoarding nail polish because you know that's the most sensible thing to do during a pandemic. 

Out of everything I finished there weren't many items I loved enough to repurchase again. I do like most of the face masks but, I just usually buy what's on sale lately. Occasionally I might go out of my way to purchase something but, lately, I been blowing through my entertainment/self-care budget lol

I did like the Elemis Rose facial oil. It smelled heavenly but, after a while, I felt like it wasn't really doing anything. I think I just liked putting it on because of how luxurious it felt. Sunday Riley Retinoid cream was nice and it didn't cause my skin to break out or get irritation.

The most disappointing thing was the Glow Recipe watermelon mask. This one didn't break me out like their moisturizer but, I didn't really notice anything. I used to be a fan of Lancome's eye makeup remover but, honestly, it doesn't remove tough mascara stains. I have been using the makeup remover cloth and that works wonders.

Here is a list of everything I finished -

Facetory Glow Baby Glow

BioRepublic Skincare Pomegranate Crush

Elvis + Elvin New York Grape Treatment Mask

I Dew Care See The Light Purifying Vitamin C Mask

Nature Republic Real Nature Mask Sheet Acai Berry

Soo ae Purifying Black Charcoal Mask

Facetory Ace that Face Sheet Mask

Dennis Gross Stress SOS Eye Cream

Lancome Bi-Facil Eye Makeup Remover

Red Flower Soft Water Mist

Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Sleeping Mask

Thisworks In Transit Camera Close-Up

Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream SPF 30

The creamy day cream is packed with ginkgo Biloba, Padina Pavonica and chlorella to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles while improving skin firmness. It promises to tone and hydrate skin with visible results in 14 days. The cream went on smoothly and was absorbed quickly. After a few days, my skin felt softer and looked more even-toned and smoother. Overall, a great cream but, definitely on the pricer end.
