Empties: Smell Ya Later June

Hello hello! Another month has passed which means another empties post. I think I used up quite a few products this month. I’ll just jump right in.

Full Size

Elements Squared (E2) Custom Shampoo and Conditioner
Repurchase: Would if I could!

I was surprised how long this lasted me! During the holiday season, I was lucky enough to win Whitney‘s contest for a custom designed Shampoo and Conditioner. The company was amazing and helped cater these to my needs exactly. I was very very happy with these and considering how long they lasted, I would repurchase. To my knowledge though, they are only available in Vancouver. You can see my full overview of the products here.

Sephora Instant Nail Polish Remover Wipes
Repurchase: No

Finally managed to finish these off. I did a full review of these which can be read here.

Dove Go Fresh Body Wash in Cucumber
Repurchase: Yup

My go-to body wash!

Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment (Clear)
Repurchase: No

Funny enough, I found this empty container in my makeup drawer. I guess I was saving it for an empties? I had the mini version featured in a past empties which can be read here.

John Frieda Frizz Ease Serum
Repurchase: Yes

I quite enjoy this serum for when I take showers at night. I wouldn’t say my hair is frizz free with it, but it leaves my hair with a nice loose curl after I wake up. Half the time it’s hairspray and then I’m out the door.

Foil Packets/ Minis

Pantene Pro V Repair and Protect Miracle Repairing Shampoo and Conditioner
Repurchase: Maybe?

This shampoo and conditioner were kind of meh for me. Didn’t love it, but didn’t hate it either

Nivea Aqua Effect- Cleansing Gel and Mattifying Day Care
Repurchase: No

I had these foil packets sitting around forever and decided to use them. I was curious about the lotion as it mentioned that it was ‘mattifying’. I did not notice any difference. They didn’t break me out though, so I guess that’s good!

Ole Henriksen The Clean Truth Cleansing Cloths
Repurchase: Probably

These were the wipes that I bought for my trip back in April. Did their job exactly as expected!

Tarte Clean Slate 360degree Creaseless Eye Primer
Repurchase: No

This little sample took forever to use up! Not a fan of this at all. I thought the consistency was a bit too liquidy and I didn’t like that it had a pearly effect after you put it on.

Trash

Mitchell and Peach Flora No. 1 Luxury Hand Cream
Repurchase: No

I got this in an ipsy and even though the scent was a bit weird, I actually didn’t mind it. I reached for it the other day and the lotion had completely separated. I shook it forever and no change. Not too sure what happened but this is definitely a toss for me.

I think June was a very successful month for me! I think I might go through my makeup collection and do a giant purge. I have so many old products sitting around that should just be tossed. I feel like it’s throwing away money though since it didn’t get it’s full use. Ah well. So expect that sometime soon.

Thanks very much for reading! Hope you have a great day! 😀

  1. So happy you enjoyed the E2 Hair stuff! ^^ Blehhh I am behind you about the no repurchase on the Fresh balm, they're nowhere near as effective as my drugstore vaseline or blistex! Also, I love John Frieda serums!!

  2. I …third (see comment below) on the no repurchase to the Fresh lip balm. I was using mine this month to get rid of it, it was a 'gift' from Sephora and it melted on me! My bag was in the car, not too long but I guess it was hot enough to leak everywhere. Plus it's nowhere near as good as Burt's Bees.
    Thanks! 🙂

  3. OMG, that sounds terrible! That's one of my worst nightmares actually, my lip products getting everywhere in my bag. I've never tried the burts bees one! I've been using Baby Lips or some Pixi ones I was able to grab before Target left Canada. ;_;
