2014 Empties

2014 Empties Part 1

Here are my June empties! I will have a smiley face next to each product to describe if I liked it or not and if there’s something very interesting then I will elaborate on it.

Randoms

Target Cotton Rounds 🙂

Centrum Multivitamin :/

Target Up & Up Nail Polish Remover :/

Love & Beauty Green Tea Makeup Wipes :/

Everything was kinda meh. Does anyone have vitamin recommendations haha? I feel like it helps my immune system but it all might be just my mind.

Makeup

Some really great items that I finished up.

Buxom Lip Polish in Dolly 🙂 – Review

Korres Querctin & Oak Face Primer :/

Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner in Zero 🙂

MAC Dazzleglass in Get Rich Quick 🙂 – Review

Mary Kay Lipgloss Sample :/

Love the buxom lip gloss and the UD eyeliner. I used to love the Korres primer but I don’t feel like it actually does anything. The Mary Kay lipgloss was surprisingly nice to use but the color I had was too sparkly but I’d be interested in trying out more of their stuff.

Tarte Maracuja C-Brighter Eye Treatment :/

Eau Thermale Avenue Skin Recovery Cream :/

ELF Undereye Concealer 🙁 – Review

L’oreal Youthcode Pore Vanisher 🙂

The Body Shop Body Butter in Ginger Sparkle 🙂

I prefer the Boscia eye cream over the Tarte one. The Tarte one is a bit thin for an eye cream I think. I really enjoyed the youth code pore vanisher, but the only thing I don’t like is that if you put too much or if you put another product on top of it too fast, it starts to rub off like dirt.Tossing

I’ve been cleaning out my makeup collection recently and really trying to slim things down. So I finally cut some more items loose.

Maybelline Moistruizing Eye Makeup Remover- Way too greasy

Blush Brush- It’s just getting rough now

CG Trublend Whipped Foundation- Been over 4 years

Stila Tinted Moisturizer- Expired in 2012

These are the makeup in the plastic bag and I’m I’m letting go of these because it’s been too long and I never reach for them.

Link me to your empties! I’d love to read it. Have you slimmed down your collection recently?

2014 Empties Part 2

Here are my empties from July and August! And I’m still slowly throwing away things too that I’m no longer using. Also, does anyone watch Makeup Graveyard from Tati on Youtube? So addicting haha! I’m only going to talk about select items, if I don’t talk about it, it’s probably meh.

Skincare

Neutrogena Cleansing Towelettes: Everyone raves about these, I did like it but I would probably only get it on sale if it’s less than $5 haha.

BBW Nourishing Hand Cream- Winter Candy Apple: Loved the scent at first but now it’s too strong! And hated it as a hand cream so used it all over my body instead.

Boscia Face Cream: This has SPF 30 so it’s a great day lotion. However, bad for my skin cause I’m very dry and this lotion seems to mattify. Would be amazing for oily girls cause this has SPF but leaves your face very dry.

Makeup

Not many makeup items this month but getting through my lipglosses 🙂

Urban Decay Mascara: Can’t remember how I liked it, read my review haha. Was hard to use in August so I think it’s just dried out now.

Stila Lip Glaze in Holly: Brightest lipgloss I’ve owned! Probably wont’ repurchase anymore stila lipglazes for a while but I love their packaging.

Tarte Lipgloss in Spence: Cute pink color! These little guys lasts me at least a month! Still have five more of them to finish haha. I do like these so far!

And two candles from BBW. I feel like they must have re done something because the candle burns a lot further down now, yay! I had the scents Aloha Waikiki and Island Waters 🙂

Tossed Out

Threw out my brush cause I got my Tangle Teezer 🙂

Tossed the blush brush from Rose Wholesale cause it’s just too scratchy.

LOVE my Revlon Calcium Gel Nail Hardener, but it’s just gloopy now.

Found a Stila lip glaze from my car a couple months ago but I think it smells weird now 🙁

Letting go of my Rimmel Quad in Urban Flower. This has been used lots!

Only four more months to try and finish my goals!

2014 Empties Part 3

It has been a whillleee for an empties post! But I have a couple items to share. Since it’s been so long, I will most likely use emoticons to give a quick review of the product.

1. Up and Up Cotton Rounds

I’m trying the more expensive one at Target and like it much better!

2. Impress Nails by Broadway Nails

See my review here. I’m liking these more and more especially for special occasions.

3. Olay Fresh Effects Makeup Removal Cloths

Effective and is gentle.

4. Burt’s Bees Facial Cleansing Towelettes

The smell was a bit weird and slightly stung my eyes.

5.Crest Complete Extra Whitening

Like it!

6. Garnier Fructis Damage Eraser Shampoo
I really like this line, it makes my hair so smooth!! See review here.

Makeup / Skincare

7. Benefit Silky Finish Lipstick in Skinny Dip
One of the first nude lipsticks that I liked! See review here!

8. Tarte Maracuja Oil
I did like this, but now that I’m using lotion again, I realize how much more I like it compared to oils. I think facial oil is just not my thing.

9. OFF Spray Insect Repellents
This is a random item but this was a lifesaver in the summer months! The small portable format made it easy to toss into my purse if I was going out to the park.

10. Bare Minerals Marvelous Moxie Lipgloss in Spark
This was kinda meh, nothing bad but nothing special. See review here!

11. L’Occitane Hand Cream in Subtle Violet
At first I didn’t like the scent but now I love it; it’s really sophisticated and light.

12. Urban Decay Primer Potion
One of the most hyped products in the beauty community but I don’t have oily lids or deal with creasing so I don’t see too much difference when I use it.

13. H2O Marine Calm Rescue Serum
So silky feeling, love this!

And here are a couple of things I threw away.

The Paul Mitchell hair spray makes my hair so stiff. I have two loose eyeshadows from a small company called Vicious Bakery. The products are not that bad but I can’t deal with loose products. Also throwing away an old shaving cream.

I’m throwing away a tarte lipgloss and a burt’s bees lip balm because the smell is a bit different! I’m so sad about the Tarte one because I just got it last Christmas and haven’t even used it yet.

I LOVE the Springtime in Provence candle from BBW. I actually finished burning this.

That’s it for me! Link me to your empties! Also I’ve been watching decluttering videos on youtube and it’s really fun haha. Anyone else watch them?
