June 2022 Empties!

 

Wow, I can't believe the year is halfway done! It just feels like it has been flying by. I managed to finish a few things this month but, nothing really noteworthy.

I have used a few of Josie Maran's products and have enjoyed them. I was really excited to try her body butter. It had a sweet citrus scent but, it had a weird rotten scent after awhile. I am not sure if the body butter was reacting to my body chemistry.  I did enjoy using the Kinapure Cocoa Vanilla shea butter. It smelled so amazing and it left my skin buttery soft without being greasy.

I got two new soaps that were pretty awesome. The Kiss My Face and Humble soap, were both stars. They were creamy and provided a generous lather. They also didn't strip my skin and make it feel tight.

I got a new scrub from Kopari which I loved. I usually have mixed feelings about their products but, this scrub left skin feeling soft and smooth. the Mudmasky leave on winter mask is a skin savior for the colder months. It locked in hydration and left skin feeling super soft and smooth. It definitely kept my skin from drying out at night.

Did you finish anything this month that you thought was great?

May 2022 Empties!

 

Wow, I can't believe it is already the middle of May! I feel like the time has come and went by so quickly. I didn't really get to finish a lot of stuff this month but, I did finish a few things but, nothing really noteworthy.

I used a few masks this month and I liked the Vitamasques Vegan Collagen Eye Brighten & Firm. I felt like it left the eye area softer and smooth. I didn't even need to follow up with moisturizer.  I tried two Miss Spa eye masks and didn't care for them. While they stayed in place, I didn't notice or feel any difference on my skin after removing the mask.

The Kopari Exfoliating Crush Scrub is a new product and I was on the fence with it. It smelled nice and left my skin super moisturized because of the coconut oil. However, I had to use the entire container to cover my body and it left a mess in my tub. It clogged my hair catcher and left it look kind of disgusting.

Here is everything I finished this month -

Aloederma Aloe Brightening Mask
Vitamasques Vegan Collagen Eye Brighten & Firm
Miss Spa No Slip Future So Bright
Miss Spa Eyes on the Prize
Vitamasques Vegan Collagen Lip Mask
Fascy Sunshine Moisturizing Foot Mask

April 2022 Empties Part 2!

 

Wow, can't believe April is almost finished! The month has definitely went by so quickly. I am excited that I managed to finish quite a few things though.

I always see Glamglow products being touted as a cult favorite and every time I buy one of their products, I just don't see it. I got their treatment mask and their everyday cleanser and I didn't notice any noteworthy results. The natural beauty store I shop at loves Ilia Lip Wrap but, I can't say I am in love. I feel like it makes my lip super dry and uncomfortable. I feel like I have to constantly reapply.

I love the Winky Lux Disco Kitten Gloss in Far Out. I made my lips a glittery soft pink that went perfect with my skin tone. The Freck Beauty Rich Bitch Cactus + Vitamin C Moisturizer is so thick and creamy that when I apply this at night, I wake up with super soft and hydrated skin in the morning.

I got the Aura Cacia Aromatherapy Mineral Bath - Lavender at Whole Foods when, I was supposedly shopping for food. They had a small section dedicated to things that help promote a more restful sleep. The single use packet was enough for one bath and it did make me feel more restful. I love the sleek packaging of Aster Raine Reverse Serum but, honestly it was one of the most stinkiest serums I ever used. I am not sure if it actually worked but, I was really glad when I finished the bottle. I also loved the Basd body lotion. The peppermint scent was so invigorating in the morning.

August 2021 Haul!

 

Yay, it's August that means only a few more months until my beloved Fall arrives. I am 100% done with this hot weather and can't wait for some cool evenings. This month I went completely overboard and bought tons of stuff. And as per usual, I finished 4 things :D

I got some generic looking Korean hand cream that looked fun and they were only $5 a tube. They came in vanilla, shea butter, honey matcha, lavender, and  sweet citrus. They seemed like a cheap way to brighten up a day. I like Margot Elena's products because of their pretty packaging and unique scents. I love their willow & water line and bought another shower gel from them. I love Rituals shower gel and bought their new (to me) Express Your Soul shower gel. I like using shower gels during the warmer months because of their scents and it feels refreshing.

I got a bunch of new MAC lipsticks that I am really excited to use. I got Give Me Fever, Sweetie and E for Effortless. I love Tarte Sugar Rush collection so, I decided to try their Strawberry lip glaze. I love Charlotte Tilbury's packaging and the name of this lipstick - Bond Girl. I am going to save it for most daring and sultry sweat pants wearing days. I heard so many good things about this IG popular brand - Dragun Beauty, that I got two lip products. I got Dragun blood and a really dark red which I can't make out the color name, I got this beautiful Huda Matte lipstick in Bawse. I am not sure why I keep buying so many lip products and I haven't finished a single color lip product other than one lip balm this year. I guess some people go to therapy, I buy lipstick. 

I been reading a lot lately and slouching which has been leading to back pains. I am so excited to try this CBD rub with Kopari. I have tried other CBD rubs and loved them. I got this new facial oil from Farmacy that I am excited to try. I got this weird but cool salmon cream (!!) by Byroe. I got a bunch of things I can't wait to try.

Is there anything you got recently that you love?

August 2020 Empties!



Ah, it's August already! I felt like the year has passed us by. I can't say I tried any new products that I was excited/love enough to buy again. I did like the Bliss Mud Foam. It had a unique dispensing method and it did dry out the cystic acne along around my chin. I liked the IWIN lip oil. It tasted great and left my lips so soft but, a little goes a long way otherwise it has this chemical taste. I liked the Skyn Iceland oxygen moisturizer. It made my skin feel soft and radiant but, a little goes a long way. I got overzealous one day and woke up with irritation on my cheek.

Two disappointments were the Tatcha and Lancer masks. Both of the masks are uber prices (think double digits for the Lancer mask) and I didn't notice much of an improvement. Meh, what a jip! The Burt Bee's lip mask was more like a thin cotton piece of paper soaked in oil. I had the same results by using a night treatment for my lips.

Here is everything I finished below. Have you tried any of the products before?

Burt's Bees Moisturizing Lip Mask
Sur Medic Age Control Multi Vita

Philosophy Sweet Creamy Frosting Body Lotion





I love Philosophy’s products during the holiday time. Unfortunately, I have a tendency of purchasing more products that I can possible use in a two month span. While going through my stash, I came across this body lotion and thought it was the perfect time.  The sweet vanilla scented body lotion is enriched with macadamia seed, olive fruit oil, and shea butter to leave skin buttery soft. The lightweight formula goes on smoothly and absorbs quickly. However, I did find myself reapplying the lotion throughout the day.

Marlowe Extra Moisturizing Body Lotion






The hydrating moisturizer is  enriched with passion flower fruit, green tea, willow bark and deep sea algae. The lotion promised to nourish, smooth, and revitalize skin. The Marlowe had a gender neutral pleasant scent but a fellow coworker told me it smelled faintly like dish soap. The lotion left my hand soft and smooth but unfortunately, it didn’t last after washing my hands.

BBW Sleep Lavender Chamomile Body Lotion







We all have those days where we have one too many things on the checklist to be done and not enough hours in the day. And, if our lives weren’t demanding enough, sometimes it’s quite difficult to get a full restful night of sleep. This BBW Sleep lotion promises to help enhance sleep naturally without the help of pills. It is formulated with lavender and chamomile essential oils to soothe and calm the body and mind into a peaceful slumber. The creamy lotion goes on smoothly and leaves my skin delicately soft. While, I am not entirely sure this lotion makes me sleep better but it does make might nightly routine more peaceful and calm.

Sephora Tangerine Grapefruit Body Lotion





I came across this body lotion along with several other varieties of it while organizing my room. I didn’t even know I had these  but it was a nice treat to use. I like the unique shape of the container. It seems this body lotion has been discounted for awhile,which makes me sad since it was a really good product. I noticed a lot of Sephora’s products get discounted very quickly. The body lotion is packed with aloe vera and jojoba to soften and moisturize. The body lotion is lightly scented with white grapefruit, Italian mandarin, blood orange, lily of the valley, and Gold Coast jasmine. The creamy lotion went on smoothly and absorbed easy and didn’t make my skin greasy. I really like this body lotion, I wish they would bring  this back :(

Seductively French Citrus Sorbet Body Lotion




I had a gift card from the holidays and I came across this body lotion and I thought I would give it a try. It was pretty expensive at $38 at 8oz. I figured it either has to be really good or it’s mediocre and I just overpaid. The sweet scented sorbet body lotion went on smoothly almost like whipped cream. The body lotion is 98% natural and 83% organic ingredients and is formulated without parabens, phthalates, synthetic coloring, DEA, silicone, PEG, PGG and aluminum. The sumptuous body lotion is packed  with green tea, aloe, and shea butter that absorbed quickly into my skin and didn’t leave my skin feeling greasy. I loved putting on this soft decadent lotion and waking up with softer, smoother and delicately scented.

Dial NutriSkin Replenishing Hand and Body Lotion, Soothing




During the summer months, spending time at the beach or under the frigid air of my beloved AC,  my skin gets dry, flaky, scaly and a bit itchy.  I saw this in the shelf and I thought I might give this a try since it promises 24 hour hydration and helps with dry and itchy skin. The lotion is a packed with beta-glucan, zinc, Chamomile, amino acids, and Vitamin A, C, E. The creamy lotion did go on smoothly and left my skin feel soft and smooth. I didn’t notice if they lotion lasted a full 24 hours since I usually put lotion on once or twice day. Overall, I did like and I would use it again.

Weleda Pomegranate Regenerating Body Lotion

I love pomegranates and when I came across this I knew I had to try it. I have tried the Welda Pomegranate Creamy Body Wash. I have tried the Weleda Wild Rose Pampering Body Lotion and also like that as well. The pomegranate body lotion has soft sophisticated scent and lingers long after applying the lotion. The nourishing lotion is packed with shea butter, pomegranate seed and apricot kernel oil. Apparently, this lotion is made for “mature” skin to help prevent premature aging  and help skin regain firmness it has lost. The pomegranates are known for its antioxidants properties most notably protecting skin from environmental toxins and stimulates cell renewal.  While, I don’t have “mature” skin, I did enjoy the sweet scent of this lotion and how soft  and firm my skin felt afterwards.

Weleda Wild Rose Pampering Body Lotion

The sweet scented rose body lotion pampers dry skin with Rosa Mosqueta and Rosa Damscena extracts, jojoba oil and witch hazel water. The silky formula promotes the skin’s natural regenerative ability to help maintain elasticity while leaving you with silky smooth and supple skin. The body lotion left my a soft rose scent on my skin and left feeling smooth, soft and hydrated.

Burt's Bees Soothingly Sensitive Aloe & Buttermilk Body Lotion







The hypoallergenic dermatologist tested is made for sensitive skin and clinically proven to provide  moisturization.  The 99% natural lotion is packed with natural extracts of aloe, buttermilk, chamomile, calendula, St. John’s Wort, rosemary and linden flower to smooth and soothe achy skin. The lotion absorbed quickly but left my hand feeling sticky and the lotion doesn’t smell very pleasant. It is not the worst lotion I have ever used but I am not really into the scent and my sticky fingers afterwards.
