Empties: Trying to Use Up Things

Such an original title.

So onwards with my journey of using more and spending less! Here’s what I used up in the last couple of months.

(How I’ve been doing this is just filling up an old Sephora bag and when I see it getting somewhat full, it’s time for an empties post. I don’t use up enough stuff monthly to do that shindig)

1. Cotton Rounds from Target

Repurchase: Yes (until I run out D:)

Boring, but always go back to them. Even long when Target leaves Canada you’ll be seeing these just because I bought like 10 million of them as backup. It’s the nostalgia man.

2. Skyn Iceland Glacial Cleansing Cloths

Repurchase: Maybe

I got this mini travel size in an ipsy bag. I quite liked them actually! They were different than any other wipes I have tried. They were kind of soapy which was interesting but didn’t leave a residue. They are expensive (about the same price as the Ole Henriksen ones) so I’m not too sure if I will be getting them again anytime soon.

3. Ole Henriksen The Clean Truth Cleansing Cloths

Repurchase: Maybe

I actually got this pack from a friend for my birthday (which was ages ago). I like these wipes as they are substantial and leave my skin feeling very nice. The only thing is the price as always. *sigh*

4. Balea Defrizzing Hair Mask

Repurchase: No

Wasn’t really a fan of this. It didn’t really do much to my hair. I have a Macadamia deep conditioning cream that I’ve been using for years that I would much rather use.

5. Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Shampoo and Conditioner

Repurchase: Probably not

I bought this on one of the $12 Sephora sales. I still have the leave-in treatment to use up. I liked this shampoo and conditioner. I actually wasn’t a huge fan of the smell, but I did think they did a better job than my drugstore shampoos. The price of these are just astronomical in my opinion though.

6. Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Peel

Repurchase: Maybe…

I got this in a kit from Sephora that I got for Christmas. It was a really interesting concept and did make my skin feel noticeably tighter and smoother. It’s a 2 step process that give you 2 different wipes to use. Super easy which I loved. I’m not really too sure if I’m looking for a product like this to integrate in my skincare though…

7.  Nivea In-Shower Body Lotion

Repurchase: Probably Not

I had two samples of these to use up. I’m sure a lot of you have seen other beauty bloggers reviewing this. I guess it could be hard to judge from a foil package, but I didn’t notice a huge difference in my skin. Maybe I don’t normally have super dry skin though. Dunno.

8. Rocky Mountain Organic Sugar Scrub

Repurchase: No

I got this from the Chick Advisor Show Case I attended (you can read about it here). I wasn’t a huge fan, but maybe just because I’m not a huge fan of the scent (lavender). The product itself worked okay though.

9. Stila Stay All Day Liner in Black

Repurchase: Yes

This has been my go to liner for the longest time. I’ve been trying out other liquid liners though, and I’m really liking the Kat Von D one! I also want to try the MUFE one!

10. Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer

Repurchase: Yes

I really liked this moisturizer! I’m trying to find it in full size, but I still have a couple of moisturizers to use up. I would definitely re-purchase it though!

11. Neutrogena Oil Free Acne Wash

Repurchase: Yes

I go back to this face wash time and time again. It does a great job of cleaning but without leaving my skin too dry. I would definitely recommend this!

And there we have it! Hope you enjoyed going through my garbage. 🙂 Have a wonderful day!
