Empties - October 2015

So, I know this is late, but I thought I would put it out there.  I'm already collecting for November, and depending on how much there is I may go through the rest of the year.

For now, here are my October Empties!

Makeup

·Bite Beauty Lush Fruit Lip Gloss in Currant – From the Bite Beauty Lush Lip Trio from Sephora.  This was my favorite in the set.  It was a lovely, sheer, light berry color.  The Bite lip glosses are made with fruit juice, so these also smell and taste nice.  Purchase: Maybe.

·CoverGirl The Super Sizer Mascara in Very Black – Full Size.  I LOVE THIS MASCARA!  I have recommended this to so many people already as the best drugstore mascara on the market today.  This is as close to Benefit Roller Lash that I have found in the drugstore.  Repurchase: YES!!!

Face Care

·The Body Shop Vitamin EMoisture Cream – Rippy packet from The Body Shop.  This was OK, but I prefer the Intense Moisturizer better.  Purchase: Maybe.

·Clinique All About Eyes EyeCream – Full size from Sephora.  HG eye cream.  Repurchase: Yes.

·Freeman Facial Anti-StressMask – Single use from Ulta.  This is an OK clay mask.  I already have a full size, but I really don’t use masks all that often, especially clay masks.  Repurchase: No.

·Liz Early Instant Boost SkinTonic Spritzer – Sample from Birchbox.  This was nice, but not sure it really did anything.  Purchase: No.

·Neutrogena Makeup RemoverCleansing Towelettes – Full size and Travel size.  HG product.  Repurchase: Already have.

·Olay RegeneristMicro-Sculpting Cream Moisturizer – Rippy Packet.  Nice, but not really a large enough sample to get a great idea of how well it works.  Purchase: No.

·Ole Henriksen Reparative Anti-Aging Oil – Rippy Packet.  Oils should not come in rippy packets.  Purchase: No.

·Simple Cleansing MicellarWater – Full size.  This is the best micellar water I’ve used so far.  Repurchase: Already have.

·Suki Exfoliate FoamingCleanser – Full Size from Birchbox.  At one point I thought this was my HG face scrub.  Love the feel, love he energizing lemon scent.  Unfortunately, then it started breaking me out.  Repurchase: No.

·Too Cool for School Egg CreamMask – Full Size from Birchbox.  In K-Beauty box.  This was a fun little mask, although so full of serum it was quite drippy and messy while applying.  Purchase: Maybe.

Skincare

·CeraVe Moisturizing Cream – Travel Size from CVS.  I grabbed this when I was first diagnosed with my skin issues and I was trying out several different creams that were recommended by my dermatologist.  This wasn’t bad.  I have other moisturizers I’m working my way through now, but I may think about this again when/if I get through some of those.  Repurchase: Maybe.

·Dove Deep Moisture Nourishing Body Wash – Travel/Sample Size from Walmart Beauty Box.  Pretty standard body wash.  Purchase: No.

·Dr. Hauschka Lemon LemongrassVitalising Body Wash – Sample from Birchbox.  I have found that I really enjoy using citrus-scented bath products in the morning, and this was no exception.  They really help to wake me up.  The packaging was a little awkward on this; it came in a metal tube, so I looked past it every time I was looking for a new body wash because it wasn’t in typical packaging.  Purchase: Maybe.

·Lush Rub Rub Rub Shower Scrub – Full Size.  In Christmas gift.  I don’t know which Lush salt scrub I like better, this or the Ocean Salt Face and Body Scrub.  This one, however, smelled better.  Purchase: Maybe.

·Wet Ones Sensitive Skin Extra Gentle Hand Wipes – Travel size.  I grabbed these from a gas station due to an unfortunate BB cream incident since these were the only ones available.  I have better.  Repurchase: No.

Fragrance

·English Laundry Pour Femme – Sample from Birchbox (gift).  This is now my third sample (at least) of this, and I thoroughly enjoy this scent.  Purchase: Maybe.

·Prada Candy Eau de Parfum – Sample from Sephora.  This was lovely.  Note: spray pump stopped working.  Purchase: Maybe.

·Prada Candy Florale Eau deToilette – Sample card from Sephora.  Another lovely fragrance.  Purchase: Maybe.

·Sula Champagne Sugar (Roller Ball) – Full size from Ulta.  I’ve had this for many years now and the scent has held up really well.  I really enjoyed it this and may get it again if it is available when I work my way through some more of my fragrances.  Repurchase: Yes.

Hair Care

·Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Shampoo – Hotel Sample.  This was fine, but there are others I like better for my colored hair.  Purchase: No.

Nails

·Cutex One-Step Pads Advanced Revival Nail Polish Remover Pads – Travel size from Target Beauty Box.  These worked really well and were very convenient for travel.  Purchase: Maybe.

Other

·BBW Blue Skies & Blooms PocketBac – Full Size.  PocketBac is a HG product for me.  Repurchase: Already have (in other scents).

Toiletries

·Crest Pro-Health Multi-Protection Alcohol Free Mouthwash in Refreshing Clean Mint – Travel Size.  Standard mouthwash.  Purchase: Maybe.

Giveups

·It Cosmetics No-Tug WaterproofGel Eyeliner in Black-Brown – Sample from Ulta.  This was very dry and tugged.  I tried using it up because it was just a small sample, but just couldn’t take it any more when I have so many better eyeliners.  One good thing about this product, though, was that it did stay all day.  Purchase: No.

·Laura Geller Blush Brush.  I received this brush in a kit.  It’s a great size for travel, but unfortunately it shed all over the place.  Purchase: No.

·Vasanti BrightenUp! EnzymaticFace Rejuvenator – Sample from Ipsy/Birchbox (multiple samples).  I didn’t like how this smelled or felt on my face.  The scrubby particles are smaller than I prefer.  I will be giving this to my coworker, since I know she really enjoys it.  Purchase: No.
