Empties: Full Sized Products Galore!

2016-05-02 18.00.01

I haven’t posted an empties in a while but I have a good reason! Coming at you today with a LOT of empties especially full sized products that I’ve had forever! This is what I’ve used up in the past couple of months!

Foil Packets

L’Occitane 20% Shea Butter Hand Cream
Repurchase: Yes!

Funny story about this foil packet. I picked it up in a mall public bathroom in the States. It was a pretty nice mall with just a basket of these foil packets. I knew I already loved this cream, so I grabbed one!

7th Heaven Dead Sea Mud Pac and Cucumber Peel Off**
Repurchase: Yes

I received these masks thanks to Farleyco, the distributor of 7th Heaven. I really liked these masks! As with all masks, who knows if they actually do anything for your skin, but they definitely feel darn nice!

Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt and Nectarine Blossom & Honey
Repurchase: No

I got these little foil packets after purchasing the Wood Sage & Sea Salt scent. Apparently you could have used these as a body wash or hand soap. I used them as a body wash, but I think they’d be nice as an (expensive) hand soap.

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Eye Rescue and Magic Night Cream
Repurchase: Probably not

Let me say I enjoyed the Magic Eye Rescue but HATED the Night Cream. The night cream was almost like a balm that did not settle into the skin. My hair got everywhere and it just felt slimy. My skin felt super moisturized the next day, but just not worth it!

The Estee Edit Dissolve the Drama 2 in 1 Makeup Remover + Cleanser
Repurchase: Maybe!

I liked this a lot actually! It’s an oil based cleanser which I’m not really used to. It removed makeup quite well though! I am so enamored with this new Estee Edit line!

Minis

Origins Modern Friction
Repurchase: Maybe

This is an interesting product! It’s a scrub, but almost like a chemical peel. It’s definitely not your run of the mill exfoliator and enjoyed using it. I would say if you have very sensitive skin, this might be a bit harsh for you.

Lush Celebrate Hand & Body Cream
Repurchase: Yes

I liked this cream a lot! It was a bit greasy, but great for after the shower! I look forward to trying more Lush items!

L’Occitane 20% Shea Butter Hand Cream
Repurchase: Yes

Already discussed above with the foil packet version of this. ;P

Nourish Organics Moisturizing Cream Face Cleanser 
Repurchase: Probably not

I got this in an ipsy bag who knows how long ago. I actually never used this for my face, I used it solely to clean my beauty blender. Worked pretty good for that!

Full Sized

Simple Micellar Makeup Remover Wipes*
Repurchase: Maybe

I received this from the Chick Advisor Product Review Club. These wipes were so – so. Didn’t love the smell but they worked alright. If I ever saw them on sale I would grab a pack for sure.

Bioderma Sensibio H2O Makeup Removing Wipes
Repurchase: Yes!

Probably some of my favourite wipes. They are so expensive though! If you can get them on a buy one get one, grab them!

Batiste Dry Shampoo in Original
Repurchase: Yes

Batiste is one of my favourite dry shampoo brands. I find it works the best, but the scent wasn’t amazing. Before I ran out of this one, I bought a new bottle! Definitely worth having extras around!

Zoella Soak Opera Bath Soak & Shower Cream
Repurchase: Yes

I bought this at IMATS back in the fall and really liked this! I never used it in the bath, but as a shower creme it worked great! The scent is very ‘English’ and kept my skin fresh and refreshed!

Sephora Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover
Repurchase: Maybe

This took a LONG time to use up. This works great, the only thing I didn’t like was that the spout is very small. It’s good if you are using a Q-tip but otherwise it takes a while to get any product on the cotton round.

Bioderma Sebium Purifying Cleansing Foaming Gel
Repurchase: Maybe!

I got this on sale at Shoppers and it was totally worth it. A great cleanser for combination skin. I would definitely get it again, but I know Bioderma can get a bit pricey.

Up&Up Cotton Rounds
Repurchase: Unfortunately can’t

Wouldn’t be an empties without one of these!

Glysomed Face Moisturizer
Repurchase: Maybe!

I’ve (embarrassingly) had this for years. I got it free somewhere and just kept on using it. It’s a great basic moisturizer with SPF 15. I would try it again!

Kat von D Tattoo Eyeliner in Trooper
Repurchase: Always

My favourite eyeliner! Grab it if you’re looking for a great liquid eyeliner.

 

Well that was a long post. A gold star for those who made it all the way! Thanks for reading! Hope you have a great day!

  1. Lol I wouldn’t mind some Jo Malone samples ahha but I probably wouldn’t buy them either, too expensive 🙁 Good job in using up so much stuff, I wish I could get through a dry shampoo lol!

    1. Yeah that’s always the worst part of peel off masks. I feel that if you get it started a bit, it’s all good! I use it pretty thick actually. Maybe that helps with the peely-ness?

  2. I actually just lost my Clinique eyeliner (not sure how or when it happened but it’s nowhere to be found…) so maybe I’ll check out your Kat Von D favorite.

  3. I had the weirdest reaction to the Charlotte Tilbury eye cream; my eyes were stinging and would not stop watering for hours! You should try the Charlotte Tilbury liquid liner though. It’s my absolute favourite; I actually prefer it much more than the Kat Von D one!
