November Empties!
Hello!
I Really, Really, Really tried to use up products this November. I am terrible about just flip flopping from one product to another. And as a "beauty enthusiast" (ie Horder). I have so much I haven't even tried yet. So here's what I managed to finish!
First up the Body Shop Chamomile gentle eye make- up remover : "Float away the day with refreshing rosewater to gently cleanse and dissolve eye makeup. Also conditions lashes so they feel soft and silky" - Body shop website
Repurchase - NO...it's too gentle, as in it doesn't take much off, it's a big bottle but for $14, I'll stick to Bi-Facil
Avon Solutions cleanse Total Radiance: "Lifts & removes dirt, oil and debris. Foaming gel. 5 fl. oz" -Avon website (is that not the weakest product description you have ever read?)
Repurchase - YES! I love this stuff it smells wonderful, gets you makeup off, doesn't leave your face feeling stripped and it's only $6-8 depending on if they are running a special.
Got 2b Rockin it (dry shampoo) - " Skip shampooing but keep your style, Refreshes hair without washing, Invisible after brushed out" -from Walgreens website
Repurchase - NO! It's about $6.49 a bottle if it's not on sale and I used it twice, and it was empty. what? I've read of other people saying the same thing there is like no product in here :(
Ivory simply ivory aloe body wash- I got this 2 years ago in my Christmas stocking and I can't find it anywhere anymore. It has a lovely light smell and does not leave you feeling stripped. I would repurchase it but I don't think I can :(
Frizz-Ease Clearly Defined hair gel- "Superb style-shaping gel puts hair in its place. Sure-hold, alcohol-free formula allows you to smooth and control curls, from mild to wild. Formula with encapsulated silicone beads calms frizz and imparts a brilliant sheen. Provides a pliable yet lasting hold that's never stiff, sticky or greasy. Curls remain smooth and defined while shining with style." -Walgreens website
Repurchase - Maybe. It works pretty well, but I have two bottles of mousse I'm trying to get through and 2 other Redken hair products I haven't opened. I hoping by the time I would have to repurchase my hair will have had some miracle and just be more well behaved without all the junk.
Bath & Body works Aromatherapy Energy body wash- "Power Up! An invigorating blend of Lemon Essential Oil and energizing Ginseng provides a quick pick-me-up.This fast-foaming body wash is infused with soothing skin conditioners. Contains precious botanicals. White birch and bamboo extracts are known to purify and soothe skin while pearl powder helps condition skin.For an energizing bubble bath, add a couple of ounces to warm, running water." - Bath and Body website
Repurchase - Yes (in the travel size) I love how this smells and it is a really nice body wash, but as you can see it takes me forever to go through body washes, so unless I find my HG body wash I think I'm going to buy trial sizes from now on.
Jergens Daily Moisture 24 Hour Hydration Lotion sample - "Ideal for daily use, Jergens® Daily Moisture Dry Skin Moisturizer instantly transforms dry, rough skin into visibly smooth skin. With an alluring, smooth fragrance, this long-lasting formula is enriched with Silk Proteins and Citrus Extracts. It leaves skin looking and feeling silky and smooth all day long." - from the Jergens website
Repurchase - No. I got this sample in my Target Beauty Bag and my legs are dry so very, very dry from September to about March. This didn't even make a dent in my scaly, parched legs :( I should show a picture but it would make people stop reading my blog. There are some things you can't unsee.
I hope to do much better this month!

Back to Blogging with...May empties!
Hello!
I'm back and I want to share my May empties!
I have a love/hate relationship with finishing products. If it was really good I am so sad to see it go, but if it was not so good then that means I have been struggling to get rid of it :) In May, I managed to empty 4!
First I have Vaseline Intensive Rescue Clinical Therapy Body Lotion. I got this at Walgreens as I recall. I have crazy dry skin on my legs, and I hoped this would help. None of the Vaseline brand lotions seem to do anything for me, and this one fell into that same category. So this is an obvious non-repurchase.
Next up Avon's Anew Clinical Advanced Mircodermabrasion cream which Avon describes as " The first and only, at-home micro-dermabrasion to offer multiple-strength polishing in one revolutionary package. Exclusive dial-up tube delivers 4 progressively stronger levels of our micro-crystal formula. The levels gradually build every 2 weeks, to achieve fast results. Instantly, reveals visibly healthier, more radiant skin. Leaves skin feeling smooth and conditioned." I really like this and guess what - they no longer sell it :( Although I prefer not do use physical exfoliants, some times a good scrub feels great. I have yet to find a comparable replacement, let me know if you have a suggestion!
I also finished my 1oz bottle of Lancome's Genefique which they describe as "Visibly younger skin in just 7 days. Skin looks as if lit from within – breathtaking radiant. Its youthful quality returns: cushiony soft and velvety to the touch." It works really well, my skin definetly looks brighter and my lotion seemed to sink in better. I've switched to Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair (same idea, but you only have to apply at night but it takes longer to see results)hence me using it after using Genefique. I would buy this again, and suggest it to anyone from dry to combination skin.
Last but not least, Lancome's Hypnose Doll Lashes which they describe as "A new, unique, cone-shaped brush provides an extremely smooth and clean application, precisely defining even your hard-to-reach corners and lower lashes. Combined with the exclusively developed FiberShineTM formula, it sculpts, curls and loads each lash for the ultimate shiny lash fringe." I do like the brush it really gets all your lashes and it seperates really well for a natural but better look. However I can get the same results from L'oreal Telescopic for about a third of the price so I don't think I'll be purchasing again.
Hopefully I can keep up the blogging and not get bogged down by work again this month!
Next up...summer nails!
