Empties: When a Foil Packet Makes You Buy the Full Size

Hi friends! At it again with another Empties! I have a lot of foil packets this time around. I want to get a handle on some of my stash, and getting rid of my one-time use products seems like an easy thing. A couple of these foil packets led me to want to purchase the full size! So I guess the sample is doing what it was intended to do!

Foil Packets

The Solution Soothing Face Mask
Repurchase: Yes!

A great sheet mask for a great price. I’m definitely curious to try more from this line.

Fresh Seaberry Skin Nutrition Cleansing Oil
Repurchase: Maybe

This sample was literally the cutest. It was in a mini bottle thing so I couldn’t resist. I actually really liked this cleansing oil. It works really well and made my skin feel great. The thing that’s pulling me back is the price!! Hmmm.

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion
Repurchase: Maybe

I’ve used this before and always enjoy it. I’ve discovered a few new eyeshadow primers though so I’m switching things up.

Too Faced Shadow Insurance
Repurchase: Maybe

I’m actually using up a deluxe sample of this as well. I like it so far! 🙂

Sephora 10 HR Wear Perfection Foundation
Repurchase: No

Wasn’t too thrilled with this. It didn’t blend well at all, and just didn’t sit right on my face.

Kat Von D Lock It Foundation
Repurchase: Maybe

I definitely liked this better than the Sephora foundation, but it was hard to tell from this small sample. Definitely might look into it though.

Fresh Soy Face Cleanser
Repurchase: Maybe

A solid cleanser, but again, SO expensive. *sigh*

Glam Glow Supermud Clearing Treatment
Repurchase: Maybe

This packs a punch! I really enjoy this treatment (I have a deluxe sample size that I’m using up). I’m not sure if I’ll go right away to purchase full size (cause price), but it’s on my list.

Urban Decay Naked Skin Concealer
Repurchase: Maybe

A lot of maybes on my list. I liked this! Very creamy and has good coverage. I have a few concealers on the go though, so I can’t see myself buying this anytime soon.

Boscia Tsubaki Cleansing Oil
Repurchase: No

I didn’t really like this for cleansing as I just felt it didn’t remove all of my makeup.

belif the true cream: aqua bomb
Repurchase: Yup!

I have a full review here! Spoiler: I really like this cream!

Rita Hazan Weekly Remedy Treatment
Repurchase: Yes!

This stuff is amazing. It’s a two step conditioner process and it’s incredible. My hair is soft, silky and I don’t need to use any hair serum after. The only thing is the price. I bought the full size from the sample and the bottles are small. It’s around $50 for the set which hits the wallet hard. It’s a weekly treatment though, so I feel i’ll be able to get some decent use out of it.

Sephora Rose Face, Eye and Lip Masks
Repurchase: Maybe

I’m always happy with the Sephora masks. I’ve used the face mask before, but the eye and lip masks were new. Very happy with them, but I’d like to continue to try new masks!

Minis

Living Proof Perfect hair Day Shampoo
Repurchase: Probably

The price tag is big, but I like using these for travel!

Philosophy Hope in a Jar
Repurchase: Yes!

One of my favourite moisturizers! I did a post on Philosophy which can be found here.

Full Size

COLAB Sheer Invisible in London
Repurchase: Yes!

I love that COLAB is more readily available in Canada. This is a great dry shampoo and actually got another bottle right away when this ran out! I did a dry shampoo post which you can read here.

Philosophy Purity Made Simple Cleanser
Repurchase: Yes

I use this in the shower to remove my makeup. Again, this was mentioned in my Philosophy post here.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Definer in Ebony
Repurchase: No

I prefer the Brow Wiz or NYX Microbrow. Full comparison of the ABH brow products here!

Bath and Body Works PocketBac
Repurchase: Yes!

My go-to for antibacterial cleanser.

Up&Up Cotton Rounds
Repurchase: Can’t!

So I’ve finally done it. It’s the end of an era. I finished my last package of these cotton rounds originally from Target. Now I’ll have to find some other cotton rounds to horde!

Bioderma Sensibio H2O Makeup Wipes
Repurchase: Probably

Good wipes, and when you can get them for the 2 for 1 price point they’re even better!

Simple Cleansing Wipes
Repurchase: Maybe

So if you’ve been reading my blog for awhile, you’ll know that I don’t love these wipes. I got another  pack from the ChickAdvisor ShowCase, and I have to say, I liked them a lot better this time around. They were much more moist and got pretty much all of my makeup off!! They still have a bit of scent, but less so (at least I felt so).

That was a long empties!! Thanks for reading! Hope you have a great day!

  1. I love the Simple Cleansing Wipes! I rarely have a good experience with foil packets (I really need a week or more to get a feel of the product!) but they must be doing a great job to make you want to do another Sephora haul 🙂

  2. What a cool idea for a post! I actually stocked up on the Simple wipes, but then found out they were too harsh for my face. Had to switch to the Simple Micellar ones.
