Empties time! My August pile has mostly samples, but there are a couple full-sized products, too. Also, I had to toss a few things that were past their expiration date, so while they’re not really empty, I decided to include them in the picture so it looks more impressive 😉 Here’s what I’m getting rid of this month!
Beauty Protector Spray is one of the most hard-working products that graced my hair. It detangles like a champ, adds shine and body, and even smells amazing; all without weighing down my already flat locks.
Healthy Sexy Hair Soy Renewal Beach Spray and my hair didn’t agree on what beachy waves should look like. I guess sticky mess is just not my idea of pretty, and that’s precisely what it did to my hair. I know there are lots of people who love it, but there can’t be many that also have hair as fine as mine. Long story short: it just didn’t work for me.
As you can see, Kamill Handpflege Konzentrat Intensive+ is foreign and it was brought over by my Mom when she visited a few months ago. Her checked in bag got too heavy, so she left a bunch of things behind, including this hand cream. It was really nice and I finished it pretty quickly.
L’Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream is a classic in my bag; I have these little tubes tucked away everywhere. The classic shea butter cream is still one of my favorites.
Real Chemistry Luminous 3-Minute Peel is one of those instant gratification products that you see results from after the first use. It worked well as an exfoliant, but there are others I prefer better.
Hard Candy Glamouflage is a cult classic drugstore concealer, and one tube lasts a looooong time. This one is past its expiration date so I have to toss it.
Hanskin Royal BB Ampoule has a concentrated high coverage formula that feels like silk on the skin, and I’d totally buy more if it wasn’t so expensive. maybe one day I’ll find a good deal on it!
Neutrogena Brightening Eye Perfector is another concealer I’m tossing due to expiration date. It lived in my makeup bag for a long time, and I always used it to touch up throughout the day. I might repurchase even though I have a ton of others, mainly because I loved it and it’s just convenient.
La Mer the Moisturizing Lotion was just okay. All that hype over something that feels exactly like blue tin Nivea balm.
Noya Vanilla Lip Balm is so ancient it probably crystallized. Toss!!
I loved my sample of dr. brandt Pores No More Pore Perfecting Primer so much, I bought a full size at Sephora! This primer is absolutely perfect for someone like me with combination skin, and really does make my makeup last longer. One of the best primers I’ve found so far!
benefit Cosmetics Gimme Brow is another one of my favorites. This brow gel is super easy to use, and it always looks great. I think even a newbie can do a fantastic job defining their brows with it!
I just finished the full-sized tube of Supergoop Advanced Anti-aging Eye Cream, but I still have a few samples laying around. It’s another one of my favorites, which I’m always going to use til the last drop. Fantastic sunscreen for the eye area!
Milani Total Lash Cover Mascara is hands down one of the best drugstore mascaras ever made. I finished a tube of this a couple months ago, and this is my second one that I already used up. I love it!
