October 2012 Empties Products I've Used Up



Bath and body products...


Suave Professionals Dry Shampoo Spray
I hated this dry shampoo, it made my hair smell gross after a couple of hours, it also made my hair oilier than ever. even on day one hair. im throwing this out!

Dove Invigorationg Dry Shampoo
Smells great when first applied, still made my hair oily and dirty. throwing this out too. plus, there is not much left after 3 or 5 uses.

Johnson's Head-to-Toe Baby Wash
thought i'd give this a try since i was looking for something gentle. has sulfate in it, not sure if i'd repurchase..

Garnier Fructis Pure Clean 2-in-1 Shampoo and Conditioner
Had a $1.00 off coupon and got it for only $1.99, didn't do much to my hair, would not repurchase without a coupon. haha

Bath and Body Works Be Enchanted Shower Gel
this was a christmas gift from last year, lol finally used it up. one bottle of bbw shower gel lasts for about a month. this is by far my favorite scent from bbw! cute packaging too, i'd def repurchase

Tresemme Split Remedy Shampoo and Conditioner
got this from one of target's beauty bag, i LOVE this shampoo and conditioner. my hair felt very clean every time i use it. i usually wash my hair ever other day and with this shampoo and conditioner, i can go 2 days without washing my hair! (and did you know it's not good to wash your hair every day?! lol)

Pantene Pro-V Color Preserve Shine 2-in-1 Shampoo & Conditioner
another sample from target's beauty bag, i personally don't like pantene cuz it makes my hair super oily. this one was okay, i don't have much to say, didn't do much. would not buy it even if i had a coupon..

Shea Terra Whipped Shea Butter Body Creme Bourbon Vanilla
i LOVE this butter creme! it's very moisturizing. the texture is cool too, it's like memory foam stuff, its quite interesting. i enjoyed using it very much. the only down side is the scent. its almost sickening. i'd repurchase it after i finish all my other body lotions


Skincare products...


3LAB Perfect cleansing Foam
got this from myglam, just your basic cleanser. my skin felt very tight afterward, which i didn't like. would not repurchase, but i wouldnt mind using it if i were to get it for free

L'Oreal Paris Youth Code Regenerating Skincare Day/Night Cream
this is a really good cream for winter, but when i use it during the summer it broke me out. i only had a little bit from last winter and just finished it days before this blogpost. this is a repurchase, and i'd buy it again

Basq Cucumber Tea Soothing Eye Gel 
just another basic eye gel, nothing special. whatever they use to make this eyegel to give it the "cooling" sensation, i didn't like! it makes my eyes water T^T. got this from a glossybox by the way, and iwould not repurchase

Ole Henriksen Truth Serum Collagen Booster
it smells like oranges! its a light serum and it smells great but did nothing for my skin. and the pump kept unscrewing itself off the glass bottle. how annoying! got it from a glossybox too. would not repurchase but i wouldnt mind using it if i get another sample of it

Murad Rapid Age Spot and Pigment Lightening Serum
this came in a sephora skincare set i purchase back in May (i got two sets since it was a steal! lol), this tiny little sample lasted me 2 weeks i believe. Not sure what to say about murad skincare line, it doesnt do anything to my skin nor it breaks me out. its too expensive to buy something that doesnt do wonders so i would not repurchase. but if they have another skincare set and this was in it, i wouldnt mind. i still have another sample bottle to go through from my second set.

Algenist Complete Eye Renewal Balm***
good stuff, the texture is sort of like Clinique's all about eyes rich but better. got this from the sephora skincare set too, i'm throwing this out because my doctor told me to get rid of all things i use on my eyes because they might be contaminated with bacteria that causes/spreads corneal ulcer

The body shop tea tree skin clearing facial cleanser
a sephora lady gave me this sample to try out. didn't do much to my skin, has a very strong tea tree oil scent. would not repurchase

up & up™ Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes
i use this to take off my face makeup before washing my face. it does its job but dont get it anywhere near your eye. it burns! i still have 4 or 5 packs that i need to finish up, and will continue to purchase it until i find something cheaper other than baby wipes lol

Skinfood Omija Whitening Cream
sample foil packs a friend gave me, it's a lightweight cream. didnt break me out or anything, not sure about the whitening effect since i didnt use it long enough

Philosophy Purity Made Simple/ Hope in a Jar/ The Microdelivery Exfoliating Wash
i dont understand all the hype about philosophy products. they smell insanely gross. it drives me crazy. they have this strong chemical smell that makes me gag. a sephora lady gave me these samples and i didn't wanna just throw them away... but never again!

Naruko Raw Job's Tears Supercritical CO2 Whitening Toner
just your everyday toner. i liked it a lot at first so i got a back up, im now going through the second bottle and would like to try something new. its a good toner if you're looking for something natural 

Up & Up Cotton Swabs with Paper Sticks 
i got through a pack of this every 6 months. i like this much better than qtips and they are cheaper! already repurchased! 

Neutrogena Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover
one of my fav eye makeup remover. been using this for years and already repurchased!

Sonia Kashuk® Remove - Eye Makeup Remover***
heard a lot about this on youtube, got it from target and at the time it has a travel size freebie. it works just like the neutrogena one except its more expensive. i spilled the bigger bottle when im half way through, and i spilled the travel size when im half way through.. maybe its not meant to be lol. im throwing this away because it maybe contaminated. i only have about 10% of it left anyway. would not repurchase.

Daiso Daily Facial Cotton Pad Puff 
i only use japanese contton pads cause they are much softer and it doesnt tear and leave cotton all over my face. its a great deal i love daiso! <3 lol

Makeup products...


Nars Plaisir Blush [discontinued]***
swapped it 3 years ago on makeupalley. its been well loved and its time to say goodbye. i dont even know if powder blush expires but it hasnt break me out or anything. but just to be safe, im done with this blush. one of my fav blush to wear. 

Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Gel CreamLiner, Hazel Eyes ***

one of the cheapest you can buy in drugstore, its creamy but the pigmentation can be better. would not repurchase. 

Sonia Kashuk® Dramatically Defining Long Wear Gel Liner - Ebony***
got it on clearance at target, it was okay, would not repurchase. 

Rimmel Royal Gloss Delicious Lipgloss***
smelt like cheap candy, but its moisturizing and nonsticky. it wasnt expensive either. 

Essence Liquid Waterproof Eyeliner***
the applicator was thick so it was hard to draw a precise line

Giorgio Armani Lasting Silk UV Foundation SPF20 sample 
my friend recommended me this foundation, so i went to nordstrom and got myself a sample to try out. it was drying, even on my oily skin. would not purchase.

Anastasia brow gel
got these samples from sephora, just another brow gel. i dont even use brow gel on a daily basis. but i dont mind getting another sample of it

Revlon Grow Luscious Mascara***
this is a repurchase, i thought it was the closest compare to benefits bad gal mascara

Physicians Formula Eye Booster 2-in-1 Lash Boosting Eyeliner + Serum***
the liner was great, the last boosting serum was whatever. already repurchase the eyeliners

Revlon Precision Lash Adhesive
the lash glue itself is great. the packaging sucks though. tons of glue would get stuck on the applicator and it gets really gross after a couple of uses


Mary Kay Ultimate Mascara
got this sample at a networking mixer. i actually really like it. but im not sure if i'd go out of my way to purchase it

Victoria's Secret, Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush Mist travel size
found this laying around the house, used it as a car spray. would not repurchase


Nautica Ocean spray sample
i love this scent!!! got it from sephora too, i went out and bought 1 1oz, 1 1.7oz, and 1 3.4oz bottle. im already done with the 1oz and now working on the 3.4oz. i went crazy cuz i dont see them at sephora so i stocked up. i know this is for men but i love the scent. it's that abercrombie, hollister smell.. musky but fresh! i love it!!!!!!!!!!

Victoria's Secret Dream Angels Heavenly sample
didnt like the scent, would not buy

Japanese lash growth serum
that tiny bottle costed me $30, and it didnt work. dang it!

ebay eyeliner brush ***
just another eyeliner brush

ecotools eyeliner brush ***
got it from a kit, just another eyeliner brush


items that are marked with *** are the ones im throwing out either they are old, expired, or eye products that i need to get rid of in case they are contaminated

seems like a ton of products but 90% of the items are half empty when i decided to do this monthly empties.

omg this is by far the longest post i ever did, its tiring. lol
