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.
