Empties #10

10th Empties post?! I've used up so many products!

I finished my second Anastasia Brow Wiz pencil. I freaking love this stuff. I use the shade Medium Ash (now called Medium Brown) and it's such a good brown brow color. It's not too orange or red toned and looks incredibly natural. I finished my first The Body Shop shampoo that I have ever tried. It's the Rainforest Balance Shampoo which helps people with oily hair. It definitely has this very squeaky clean feeling when using it. You can really tell the difference when you compare using with say a moisturizing shampoo. Overall I really enjoyed the shampoo.

I'm sad I finished up the DDF Protective Eye Cream. First of all it has SPF 15 which I think more eye creams should contain SPF. Second it comes in a nice clean pump that is really easy to use. It blended nicely into the skin and felt smooth and moisturizing under makeup. I didn't really see a huge correcting dark circles but I think its more for smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles.

The MISSHA Time Revolution White Cure serum is a brightening and skin color correcting serum. Any Missha product that I have tried always smells and feels incredible on the skin. I liked to use this every morning under my moisturizer and SPF. And right before I used this I used the Aesop B & Tea Balancing Toner which uses Green Tea to help hydrate, balance the skin and refine pores. I wasn't extremely fond of the scent but it was just ok. I did like how this felt on my skin. It was very gentle and I know it's great for sensitive skin. It made my skin feel very clean and soft.

Another product that I didn't really love the scent (at all) was The Body Shop Tea Tree Blemish Fade Night Lotion. I thought it was a great lotion but I couldn't get over the scent. I did use it up completely and I wish I had it again because I was using it when my skin was in pretty good condition. Now it's really acting up so I might repurchase it but I'm not really fond of the smell so it might not happen. I am in the market for a new oil-free blemish prone moisturizer for morning and night. Let me know if you have any recommendations!

Finally I used up my beloved Healthy Sexy Hair Soy Tri-Wheat Leave-In Conditioner. I absolutely love this stuff. I love spray leave-in conditioners and this one feels great and really detangles your hair. I might try a few other brands but I highly recommend this one and will repurchase it soon.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Empties #7

I've used up another round up of products in the past month. A few of these I will be repurchasing soon!

1. Anastasia Brow Wiz
This is already my second time repurchasing this eyebrow pencil. It's just got the finest nib to get really good natural look brows. I'm using something else at the moment but I will be going back to this again.

2. Boscia Clear Complexion Moisturizer
I liked how lightweight this moisturizer but I could only use this as a night moisturizer because under makeup it starts to ball up and just doesn't work with foundation. I'm also not sure how great it was at

3. Maybelline Babylips
I have about 5 different Babylips

4. Loreal Telescopic Shocking Extensions
I LOVE the whole range of these Loreal Telescopic mascaras. This waterproof version was amazing and gave super length and held my curl really well. Doesn't clump up too bad and I just really love the long thin wand. A+

5. Jurlique Herbal Recovery Gel
This is a big pricey for me to repurchase again. I think its a bit too gentle for my liking as well. I did enjoy using it. Its a lightweight watery gel texture and feels really good on the skin. I'm just not sure I saw any noticeable results.

6. LUSH Tea Tree Water
This was a great toner that I used morning and night and was great for travel. I didn't find it too drying and just really loved the whole misting action to wake myself up in the morning. I want to try more of LUSH's spray toners.

7. Loreal EverCreme Conditioner
This conditioner made my hair feel like silk and butter and all things soft. It was very moisturizing and thick and I really enjoyed using it. It's affordable and a great conditioner.

I love empties posts!

The 5 Product Face #2

We all get a little lazy sometimes over the weekend or on days we barely even leave the house. On those type of days (Sundays) I like to use as little makeup as possible but still enough to look presentable. Back in July I tackled this subject of the 5 Product Face. Here is another take on no makeup makeup look using only 5 products:

I start with Dr. Jart's Water Fuse BB Cream. Since it is water based I know that it's light, gives light coverage and just leaves my skin feeling like skin. The important this is it still evens out skin tone and gives some life back into my tired morning face AND it has SPF 25. Next I fill in my brows with Anastasia Brow Wiz in Medium Ash because I absolutely refuse to leave the house without filling in my brows. To open up my eyes I apply some Loreal Telescopic otherwise I'll hear the “You look really tired” comments all day. My next step is my favorite step in winter because for my I just need that extra glow: RMS Living Luminizer. I dab this on the top of my cheekbones, down the center of my nose, under my eyebrows and above my cupids bow (whew that was a long list). This definitely gives you a subtle glow that just makes you look young, luminous and healthy. Lastly I need a lip product  and something that will last all day are the YSL lip stains. They are super easy to apply and just stay put. I have a really natural shade #7 that just gives your lips a light pink wash. And that's it!

Hope everyone has a nice weekend! Stay warm if you're in NYC!

Empties #3

Another round of Empties! Here are a few products I have just finished using!

1. Origins Zero Oil Pore Purifying Toner
This lasted me a pretty long time and I really did enjoy using it morning and night after I washed my face. It didn't sting my face at all and I think it did help control the oil on my face.

2. C.O. Bigelow Lemon Body Lotion
I'm not a huge fan of the lemon scent (I love lemon hand washes but was sad the lotion is not the same) but the consistency was good.

3. Sephora Fleur de Coton body wash
I did not like this smell either. It really smelled like baby powder which was really odd in the shower. It got the job done I just really didn't like the way it smelled.

4. Clinique Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Corrector
I enjoyed using this a lot but I ran out really quick! I'm not sure I saw a huge difference but I do think my skin feels over all pretty even toned.

5. Dr. Brandt Glow Ruby Crystal Retinol Hydracrème
I have used this before and this was my second sample size bottle. The sample size is a pretty good decent amount that lasts you almost an entire month! I definitely enjoy using this product at night after I tone and would like to try it again.

6. Anastasia Brow Wiz in Brunette
I want to go out and purchase this again immediately but I've been holding back and using a different combo this month for my brows (MAC eyeshadow in Brun with Anastasia Brow Gel)

What products have you just finished and need to repurchase again?
