2014/05: May Beauty Empties

It's near the end of the month and it's time to do a blog post for some new empties.

Bath & Body Works Sleep Lavender Vanilla Body Wash & Foam Bath - I can say that it helps me sleep. But it does smells lovely.

Marc Anthony Morocco Argan Oil Conditioning Treatment - this smells like a dream and makes my hair less frizzy and extremely soft.

 

ELF Daily Brush Cleaner - works like a dream but I don't like the perfume in the cleaner.

Dr. Bronner's Lavender Castille Soap - subtle lavender scent with great cleaning power. I love using this to clean my makeup brushes.

Bausch + Lomb Re-Nu All Day Moisture Contact Solution - does a good job in cleaning and disinfecting my contact lenses.

 

Avon Smooth Minerals Pressed Powder in Sand Beige - my budget alternative to the Bareminerals powder. Same type of coverage but a fraction of the price.

Nars Skin Purifying Foam Cleanser - now that I've been using this cleanser for a while. My skin has changed and has some dry patches. This cleanser is a little too drying for me now. Hence, I have switched cleansers.

Origins Super Spot Remover - a staple product of mine. Good thing I recently bought a backup from Sephora.

John Freida Sheer Blonde Colour Renew Shampoo - an old favourite back when I had a lot of blonde in my hair. Well now that I have peekaboo blonde highlights I went back to my trustworthy old favourite.

Calia Eucalyptus Essential Oil - I used this as a brush cleaner and disinfectant with the help of some unscented baby wipes. This is great for quick spot cleaning.

Beauty: August Empties

I received this NARS eye makeup remover as a Christmas present. It lasted for a long while when I opened it in the spring of 2012. Only a little bit on a cotton pad will take off eyeliner and waterproof mascara. I will definitely repurchase this eye makeup remover.

I tried this version of the naturals line because it had makeup remover written on the bottle. This is a great mild cleanser for sensitive skin, but this cleanser definitely does not live up to what the bottle says. My makeup was still there, it smudged my makeup a little, but did not remove it at all. I will not be repurchasing this cleanser again. I think I will be going back to the purifying cleanser instead.

Love this body wash, it smells delicious and it moisturizes my skin very well. It also doesn't cause breakouts. I will definitely repurchase this body wash for it smells so refreshing and fruity.

This is a STEAL. At $1 I can't really complain too much. It works for keeping my eye makeup put for about 6 hours. Which is pretty good for a drugstore primer. It has a thin light weight texture. I also put a thin layer on my eyelashes to help my mascara stay put. I have oily lids and my mascara tends to smudge on my lower lid area. This helps prevent that from happening. I have repurchased this product many times and will continue to repurchase it.

This multi-use product may seem pricy at first, but for the fact that we can use it for cooking and beauty was worth the mention. I use this as a hair mask to hydrate my dry ends. I use it as makeup remover for my face when I wear long lasting full coverage foundations. I mix 2 drops of this with my body lotion for my dry skin. I will let you know what I use this for on my other blog for cooking related ideas. Check out yourinnergreek.blogspot.ca
