I think this is the closest I’ve come to having a monthly empties! And I’ve been posting so often, I’m proud of myself. Haha I guess having dental surgery has given me some extra time.
Here is the very small amount of the things I ended up using in April (including one thing for the trash).
1. Balea Calming Face Mask
Repurchase: Yes!
This is probably my favourite mask from Balea. It has a very minty feel and it’s very refreshing. Love it and highly recommend it! I wish though that it wasn’t in a foil packet so I could save it easier. OR put less in a package and make it cheaper. 😉
2. Olay Fresh Effects S’wipe Out Makeup Wipes
Repurchase: No
It wouldn’t be an empties post without some makeup wipes. I try a LOT of wipes haha. These were alright but one time they got near my eyes and were all stingy and uncomfortable. With the huge array of wipes available I don’t think I’ll be repurchasing these.
3. Dove Go Fresh Body Wash in Pomegranate and Lemon Verbena Scent
Repurchase: Yes
This is my go to body wash. It does the job and I love the scents they have. 🙂
4. Fresh Sugar Lip Balm
Repurchase: No
I really didn’t love this. Used it up, but after trying so many other lip balms I will not be going back. Baby lips are cheaper and better formulation in my opinion!
5. Elizabeth Grant Biocollasis Complex
Repurchase: No
So this is the product that I’m throwing out. I got this for free somewhere. It seems like actually a pretty high end brand and product. I tried it once, but it didn’t work out. It’s sort of like a serum, but the consistency was very very weird. It also sort of broke me out which was weird. It’s been sitting on my vanity for years, so I finally decided to toss it. Maybe I got a bad one though, haha maybe that’s why I got it for free.
6. Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil Hand Cream
Repurchase: Maybe
When I first got this, I thought the scent was weird. It started to grow on me though. The hand cream isn’t anything outstanding, but I liked it. I’m not sure the price on this though. Knowing Josie Maran I feel like the price would throw me off a bit.
7. Pur Minerals Pur Polish Exfoliator
Repurchase: Yes
I actually bought this years ago and it lasted forever. I haven’t tried many exfoliators, but this one is awesome. It’s not too harsh, but not too subtle either. It feels just like fine sand. I will definitely be purchasing it again
And there we have it! Hope you are having a great day!

That exfoliator sounds nice! Pretty sure we can't get Pur Minerals here though, boo.
Aww! Even here it's actually pretty hard to come by.
I'll keep your comment about stinging in the eyes when I open my pack of Olay wipes. I personally prefer fresh to baby lips – I found clear baby lips to be really greasy and sat on the lips while the fresh ones to be really hydrating. Totally agree about the dove body washes! I want to pick up another bottle sometime!
Fresh Sugar lIp balm is a no for me too 🙁 I love the colour range, but so many better balm options out there for the price! I have the Josie Maran Whipped Body Butter which is really lovely! Smells a bit orangey?
Yeah try it out. It only happened to me once, but I was scared after haha.
That's so funny because for me it's the opposite! 🙂 Yes at the Dove body washes!! 😀
Yeah I agree on the colour range. Not our thing I guess!
Yup same as the hand cream. The official scent is Apricot something? I think I didn't like it at first just because I wasn't really used to the scent.
I have heard really great things about the josie maran body care but I would generally rather spurge on makeup or skincare. I LOVE LOVE the sugar fresh balms haha. I feel like they have a bit of a cult following and you either love the or…don't.
I totally agree. I'd usually rather get a palette or something instead of body care.
Yeah that's what I've found! You either love it or hate it!
