Empties #2

It's been a long time since I've made a post. Things have been hectic and yet not so hectic. Taking care of a baby is exhausting day to day but the most rewarding experience ever. Also, being with a baby, I put on less makeup just so that my baby doesn't get it on their face. So most of my empties this time is non-makeup related for the most part.

 





I cannot get enough of these Bath & Body Works Anti-bacterial deep cleasing hand soap. I have so many back ups and I keep purchasing them whenver they go on sale so I will never run out! Muahahah (evil laugh). I went through in the last 3 months:

Aqua Blossom

Kitchen Lemon

Sugar Lemon Fizz

Eucalptus Mint

Winter Candy Apple

Winter Cranberry

Kitchen Cucumber

If I had to pick my favorite, it would be Kitchen Lemon. So refreshing and I only use it in the kitchen. Somehow it makes my hands and the kitchen smell so fresh!

 



  

 

I've also gone through:

Skintimate Skin Therapy Moisturizing Shave Cream for Dry Skin - Not much to say about it other than it gets the job done for my shaving needs! I got a big pack of this at Bjs to last me a long time!

 

Thayers Alcohol-free Toner Rose Petal Witch Hazel with Aloe Vera Formula - I really like this! I don't have oily skin butu witch hazel does a great job whenever I get a cold sore! It can be purchased in Wholefoods or online. Replacement already purchased!

 

Organix Moroccan Argan Oil Shampoo - Other than the nice smell, I wasn't a big fan. I am still using their conditioner because, let's face it, shampoo always goes before the conditioner! Will not be repurchasing!

 

Colgate Total Advanced toothpaste - This isn't my favorite. But it was there, so it had to be used! Not to repurchase unless it's a mistake!

 

Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-place Shadow Creme in #12 Silver - This is no longer available on Estee Lauder website and I purchased it at a CCO (at an outlet store). It dried out, I liked it as a base since I need virtually two bases for my eyeshadows to stick more than 30 minutes. I probably will not purchase this again because I have the MAC paint pots which are my holy grail eyeshadow base.



 

 

 

IOPE Moisture Intense line. I used up the Softner and Emulsion. Nothing really special. I have their line and a bunch of samples so I'm just going through them systematically.

 

 

Purity made simple by Philosophy. This is my HOLY GRAIL facial cleanser! I LOVE THIS! This is the second 32 fl. oz. container I've gone through. I purchased this specific one at Sephora but I know they are sold in many many places.

 

Lastly, this is my husband's Holy Grail cologne. Burberry for men. Smells amazing! Everybody should wear it! I wear the Burberry for women when I'm not around the baby. 

Empties #1

Here are a few things that I (some items with the help of Mr. H) finished. Finishing a product gives me so much joy!

Bath and Body work Antibacterial deep cleansing handsoap  in Holly Berry Wreath. No longer available on their website. I love their handsoap, it's the only things I use at my house!

Organix Shampoo in Moroccan Argan Oil. Purchased at Ulta. I really like the smell of the shampoo, I don't like that it doesn't lather well and it doesn't seem to moisturize my hair as I thought it would. I have a couple of back ups of these, once they are finished, I will not be repurchasing this item.

 

Neutrogena rainbath renewing shower and bath gel in Pear and Green Tea. Purchased at Ulta. Loved the scent. It wasn't drying but it wasn't exactly moisturizing either. I don't think it will be repurchased.

Listerine mouth wash. Purchased at BJ's. It's refreshing, will be repurchased.

 

Colgate Optic White toothpaste. Purchased at CVS. Family loves this toothpaste. Will be repurchased.

Ponds Wet Cleansing Towelettes in Evening Soothe - Both came as a bonus of a bigger Ponds packet. I don't remember where I purchased it but available at drugstores. The scent is too strong for my face and since I have a baby now, I don't want that smell to transfer to my baby's face! It took off makeup well including my waterproof mascara. I will not be purchasing the specific scent.

 

Simple Cleansing faical wipes. Purchased at Walgreens. It's meant for sensitive skin and it did take off makeup decently but not great, I still had to go in with a toner to completely remove the makeup. It did ok in removing my waterproof mascara. The scent isn't strong so it wasn't offensive. I'm not sure that I will repurchase this item.

 

IOPE Essential Soothing Cream. Gift from my mother, purchased in Korea. LOVE this cream. I have another one of this that I'm currently using for my dry skin. There is a scent but it's not bad nor good. I have really dry skin so this is as the name has it and Essential part of my skincare! I've already asked my mother to purchase one for me when she visits me again!
