July Empties 2014

Still trying to catch up with my posts but I’m almost there! Yay!

1) Bath & Body Works Anti-Bacterial Gentle Foaming Hand Soap in Fresh Sparkling Snow. I’ve had this soap foreverrr so glad it’s done. It’s a nice fresh scent but it wasn’t anything special. I probably won’t be repurchasing this scent if they bring it back for winter.

2) Aveda invati Exfoliating Shampoo - This was made for thinning hair but I literally didn’t see a difference. It’s also expensive so I will not be repurchasing this.

3) Aveda invati Thickening Conditioner - This also didn’t do anything for me so I wouldn’t waste your money if you’re thinking about buying this.

4) Trader Joe’s Coconut Oil - This lasted like 10 months for me. I love coconut oil. I would repurchase this brand again if it weren’t for the lid! It stuck shut and I had to cut a hole on the top. I’m definitely going to try something else but this was like $6 and lasted so long so I can’t complain lol

5) Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Foaming Scrub - This was ok. It was more of a cleanser than a scrub. I like a more abrasive scrub. I’m not sure if I would repurchase this.

6) Clearasil Daily Clear Oil-Free Daily Face Wash - I liked this at first but then I noticed dry patches on my face. If I were to repurchase this, I wouldn’t use it everyday. I think every other day would be better. It did seem to help my breakouts.

7) Kur Strengthening Lacquer Remover - This was just like any other nail polish remover. This was given to me so I’m not sure where to get it. But if I ever saw it I would repurchase it.

8) Bioderma - Love this stuff! At first I didn’t see the hype since it stung my eyes and wasn’t the best at removing mascara. But after using other make up removers while travelling and trying out samples, I realize that this stuff is amazing! I can’t to go to Europe this month to pick some more up!

9) Aveda invati Scalp Treatment - I got this sample to use with the shampoo & conditioner. It’s supposed to promote hair growth. With this sample obviously I couldn’t make a decision of not but since the other products didn’t work I don’t think this one will either.

10) Aveda damage remedy Daily Hair Repair - I’ve gone through a full size before and I liked it. The only thing is that it’s very expensive. I rather buy Aussie’s 3-minute miracle. It literally does the same job.

11) Victoria’s Secret Pink Beach Body Mist in Sun Kissed - Loved this summery coconut scent. I finished it just in time though because I can’t wait for fall! I would repurchase this again but I haven’t been into buying mists anymore. I rather buy perfume.

12) LUSH Sea Spray Hair Mist - I loved this stuff. It’s the first sea salt spray I’ve ever tried. It gave my hair texture and lots of volume. I have purchased other sea salt sprays so I’ll see how those go before deciding to repurchase this one.

13) Laura Mercier Foundation Primer - Amazing primer! I received another sample size of this and they last forever so I’m excited about that!

14) Dr. Brandt Pores No More Pore Refiner - I wasn’t crazy about this. I hated the texture and it made me feel greasy. It did fill my pores though. I wouldn’t purchase this though. Thanks for the sample Birchbox!

15) Bath & Body Works Wallflower Bulb in Pineapple Mango - Love this summer scent! I will definitely repurchase next year

16) Garnier BB Cream - I loved this stuff. It was a part of my favorites a few times. It’s still pretty full since you don’t need a lot but since summer is coming to an end it will be too dark for me so I’ll be giving it to my mom who it would match perfectly and she can use it before it expires J

17) Fresh Sugar Lychee rollerball - There is so much hype around this scent and I just like it, I’m not in love with it. It does smell like a cocktail but I’ve smelled better scents. I won’t repurchase this.

18) L’Oreal Telescopic Explosion Mascara - I really liked this. The brush was a ball shape so it got the little lashes on the side. I would definitely repurchase this once I finish more of my back up mascaras.

19) Benefit They’re Real mascara - This is one of my holy grail mascaras. I’ve gone through so many tubes of this. I just love it!

20) Sephora Express Cleansing Wipes - These were ok. They were a little dry but it got my make up off. I rather buy the Up & Up brand before I buy these again.

21) Shiseido Facial Cotton - Love this cotton even though it’s ridiculously expensive. This is the third pack I’ve finished. I’ll probably wait until the VIP sale before I repurchase these.
