December 2014 Empties

Hey guys! So today I will be sharing with you my December 2014 Empties! I used up a lot of products in December, so be sure to check out the video and find out my thoughts are on these products! Who knows, maybe you'll find something new to try or something to avoid! :)

July to November 2014 Empties

Hey guys! So today I will be sharing with you what my empties were! I actually don't have that many products that I used up in comparison to other empties videos... but I thought I'd share never the less! The products were on a chair just in case anything leaked and make it easier to clean (hence the products are sitting on the chair). Keep reading for the empties video and complete list of products!

May & June 2014 Empties

Sometimes I wonder if the amount of makeup and skincare items I go through is unhealthy. During the month of May and June, I have used up 26 products! Some of the products would be very familiar to you if you have been following me for some time, others are new mentions! I am extremely happy with the amount of products I have gone through because that means that these products aren't sitting there and collecting dust in my cabinets! There is of course a lot of products I still have to go through before I can be happy with the amount of products I own, but I'm making lots and lots of progress!

November and December Empties!

Hello everyone! Today I am showcasing the products I've used up for November and December. Not as much products as last time around, but it is still a sizeable portion. For 2014, I will be doing my Empties related video/post every 3 months, so you can expect to see these 4 times a year. The main reason for that is beauty products do take awhile to use up, and sometimes two months I won't use up a lot of products to show my viewers! As such, I will be doing the videos in that manner. I hope you guys enjoy the video!

Products Mentioned:
Almay Makeup Remover
Bath and Body Works Island Margarita Hand Sanitizer
Clarins Toning Lotion with Iris for Combination/Oily Skin
Complete Multi-Purpose Contact Solution
Lancome Hypnose Drama

First Empties Post!

Hey guys! Welcome to my first Empties post! This is predominantly skincare and hygiene, but there is also some makeup items as well! Check out what I've used up within the past month or so.

CVS Saline Solution for Sensitive Eyes

Repurchase: Yes

I have tried many different type of contact solutions from different brands and I don't see a difference for any of them. As such, I always have a tendency of buying the cheapest contact solution, which is the generic brand! I have already bought this and will continue to do so!

Colgate Optic White Toothpaste

Repurchase: Yes

I definitely see a difference with how white my teeth looks with this toothpaste. I haven't gotten around to bleaching my teeth yet, but when I do I'm sure this tooth paste help my teeth stay whiter.

Crest 3D White  Multi-Care Whitening Rinse
Repurchase: Yes

This mouthwash, combined with a whitening toothpaste works like a charm to whiten my teeth. I definitely notice a difference when I use this twice a day. Will be repurchasing!

Dior Serum De Rouge in 470 (Pearly Pink)

Repurchase: No

This is a nice product, don't get me wrong. I don't find it special enough to be a part of my collection again. Once I get rid of the other two of these lip products I still have in my collection, don't expect to see them again.

Fresh Sugar Kisses Mini Lip Duo

Repurchase: Potentially

It's going to be very difficult for me to repurchase this, especially since I'm on the whole Maybelline Baby Lips bandwagon. While I do find these two be a bit more moisturizing than the Baby Lips, the full size is also way more expensive.

Mary Kay Satin Hands Fragrance Free Hand Cream

Repurchase: No

Mary Kay had an event at my college last year and this was one of the things they were giving out. I won't be purchasing the full size version simply because it isn't moisturizing enough for my hands.

Maybelline Line Stiletto

Repurchase: No

It's a great liquid liner, but this is a very watery formula and I would have to reapply this multiple times to get it to be fully opaque. As such, I will not be repurchasing this. 

Neutrogena Light Night Cream
Repurchase: No

I don't have particularly dry skin at all, but I felt that this night cream wasn't that moisturizing as other night creams I've used before. Pass. 

Neutrogena Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover
Repurchase: Yes

Definitely my favorite makeup remover! I have tried Lancome's Bi-Facil and this one definitely is so much better, and at a fraction of the price! I have already repurchased this product and I will continue to do so!

Olay Age Defying Eye Cream

Repurchase: Yes

I know I'm not that old, but I do have fine lines underneath my eyes as a result of me pulling on my eyelid when I'm placing my contacts in my eye. This eye cream hydrates and moisturizes my eyes, and seems to reduce lines. Will repurchase once I use other skincare products. 

Olay's Foaming Face Wash for Sensitive Skin
Repurchase: No

While this is a great product that I have used for years, I have decided to let this one go. My skin has been acting up now, and I will be needing to use products with either salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide in them. As such, this I probably won't be repurchasing again.

Opti-Free Pure Moist Multi-Purpose Disinfecting Solution

Repurchase: Only if on sale

I don't find a reason why I should purchase expensive contact solution, mainly because I've never had an issue with the generic kind. I will probably repurchase if I can get nifty deals though ^_^

Organix's Argan Oil Shampoo and Conditioner

Repurchase: No

My hair does feel nicer after this shampoo and conditioner, don't get me wrong. But while my hair is suffering through the damage of split ends, thinness, hair loss, etc I won't be buying this and will be gravitating towards something stronger. 

Purpose Dual Treatment Moisture Lotion with SPF 15
Repurchase: No

For a generic brand it wasn't that bad, but I do need to up my SPF in my moisturizers from now on. Shouldn't have any moisturizers with SPF 15 in the first place. 

St. Ives' Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub

Repurchase: Yes

I've used this product for years and I don't think I will be stopping any time soon. I use this product every other day, and this does help exfoliate my dead skin cells on my face. It doesn't irritate my skin, which is also a bonus! I have tons of back ups of this products, probably don't need to buy any more anytime soon :B
