Hello friends. As we are almost half way through October, I’ve come to a sad realization: Summer is OVER. ;___; For this empties post, I’ve grouped together August and October. Here’s what I finished off in those fleeting days of summer.
Foil Packets
Fresh Rose Face Mask
Repurchase: Probably not
This was a nice face mask. I’ve used this one before in the little foil packets. I think the full size is just too far out of my price range considering I really don’t use masks all the much.
Biore Nose Strip
Repurchase: Probably
I have a few of these to use up. I never find the time to end up using these. I don’t think they work great, but they do a decent job to remove my yucky blackheads pretty much ingrained in my nose.
Balea Purifying Face Mask
Repurchase: No
I really like the Balea masks just because they are so affordable, but I didn’t like this one all that much. I prefer the mud masks from them, as I thought that this one really didn’t do all that much for my skin.
Full Sized/ Deluxe Minis
Dove Body Wash in Cucumber and Green Tea
Repurchase: Yes
Probably my go to body wash! If you’ve been reading my empties for awhile, you’ve probably seen this one pop up quite a bit!
Klorane Dry Shampoo
Repurchase: Maybe
If you’re interested, I did a dry shampoo comparison post here. This worked quite nice and I liked the scent. I’m just not sure if I would pick it over Batiste or Colab. Also, the price is a bit of a turn off too.
Cetaphil Makeup Removing Wipes
Repurchase: Yes
I won this deluxe sample size from a contest that Alanna had over at Classy on the Run. I was very pleasantly surprised with these! They left my face feeling very clean and were very very moist! I look forward to picking up a full size of these after I go through my wipe stash.
Boscia Cleansing Gel
Repurchase: Maybe
I got this in one of those Sephora Favourite kits last year. I liked this cleanser, but nothing really all that special. It did the job and didn’t break me out, but I didn’t feel any real benefits for my skin.
Josie Maran Bare Naked Wipes
Repurchase: NO
I was very disappointed with these. The packaging was kind of weird and would not close properly, so the wipes dried out very quickly. Even when I first opened them, I really didn’t feel any cleansing properties. It got off some makeup but not nearly as good as other wipes I’ve used.
Up & Up Cotton Pads
Repurchase: I can’t
Another Target cotton pad pack is done! I’m slowing making my way through my stash.
Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Shampoo and 5 in 1 Styling Treatment
Repurchase: When they have the Sephora sales!
These are from the Sephora 500 point perk (which you can check out here). I like this Living Proof line, but I am honestly not willing to pay that much for it. It’s great in my opinion, but not thatttt great. Lets see when they have the Boxing Day/ Black Friday sales if I’m able to snag the sample packs.
Urban Decay Primer Potion
Repurchase: Maybe
I’ve had this little bottle for an embarassingly long time. It’s so old that the packaging was starting to break down a bit. :/ I finally finished it off though. I like the primer potion, but I’d be open to trying different eye primers out. I’m using the NARS one right now and I like it. I’d also like to try the Too Faced one eventually!
Urban Decay De-slick
Repurchase: Yes
I loved this for summer. It’s been the only thing to keep me somewhat matte throughout these sticky months. I’ll probably use this less now that winter is coming, but I’d kind of be curious to see what it looks like now that the air is much drier!
And there we have another empties post! Soon enough I’ll be posting how I did in my Finish 5 by Fall Challenge (spoiler, not good). Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend and thanks for reading!
