Today's Empties Post is... A VIDEO! Ack!

Hey guys!

I decided to do my quarterly empties post as a video; I much prefer to see these types of posts as videos so hopefully you do too!

This is my first video, please be patient, I clearly have no idea what I'm doing while filming with my iPhone!


Let me know what you think!

April, May, & June Empties!

Hey guys!
Hopefully everyone had a nice 4th of July! We went over to my parents for a cookout and lit off some fireworks. Pretty laid back but nice :-)

I think these go way back to April... ANYWAY, time for another quarterly empties post! Whoo!

So much stuff! 

Let's get right to it! 

1. Skintimate SkinTherapy Shave Gel:
I pretty much buy whatever shave gel/cream is on sale or I have a coupon for. It seems to all work the same for me, even if it's extra moisturizing, for sensitive skin, etc. This smelled nice (I think it was lavender sparkle or something) but I didn't love it.

2. Infusium 23 Color Protector Shampoo:
Is my hair colored? Well.... technically yes. I mean, I haven't colored it since last summer but there is a line where you can see my hair was colored, haha! I was basically using this up from my product stash. I like the smell of the Infusium products. I would buy it again.

3. Infusium 23 Moisture Replenish Conditioner:
Pretty much the same as above. Using it up, but I would buy it again.

4. Rock Your Hair Big Hair Rocks Shampoo:
Reviewed here.

5. Rock Your Hair Big Hair Rocks Conditioner:
Reviewed Here.

6. Sebastian Shaper Zero Gravity Hairspray:
This hairspray smells terrible. I don't even know what it smells like but I couldn't even use it. I'd had it for a while and I'm so glad I only bought the travel size. Yuck!

7. Maybelline Mega Plush Mascara:
So this is a different mascara than the one posted about in this blog, but I sort of feel the same way. What annoyed me was the fact that I bought a two-pack of this. So now I have an extra of this pretty not awesome mascara. Sigh.

 8. Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascara:
This wasn't as terrible as the Maybelline, but I didn't love it. I saw no lash acceleration whatsoever. Booo!

 9. Khroma Mascara:
Apparently, I have really crap luck with mascara. ALL I WANT ARE THICK, BLACK, SWOOPY SASSY LASHES!!

10. Milani Easyliner Glitter:
I lurve this. Glitter liner for everyday (yep, I wear it every. Day.) I already purchased a replacement and I also have the blue and purple and black ones. Love!

11. Bath & Body Works Shea Cashmere Sweet Pea Hand Cream:
So I guess BB&W doesn't sell the purse sized hand creams anymore, except in the True Blue Spa or Shea varieties. This bugs me, as those are my favorite lotions from BBW!I have a small stockpile of them but when i do run out completely, I'm going to be a sad panda.

12. Yes To Grapefruits Correct & Repair Facial Towelettes:
I did not care for these wipes. They left my face feeling like there was a residue and not really a great, clean residue :-/

13. Neutrogena Cleansing Towelettes:
These towelettes are my fave!! They remove my makeup and leave my face feeling clean and refreshed! I already repurchased a package.

14. Crest Complete with Scope Toothpaste:
Ehh, it's toothpaste. I like Crest toothpaste the best, so I would repurchase this.

15. Bath & Body Works Berry Parfait Foaming Soap:
I think I mentioned before my love for the BBW foaming hand soaps. The scents are lovely and they are light and fluffy.

16. Assorted Bath Bombs from Etsy shops:

I'm not going to go into each and every one of these bath bombs, but I will say that I highly recommend  Antoinette's Bath House on Etsy. I love the scents, they are very clean feeling, don't leave a residue on your skin (or tub), and are huge so you can break them into two uses if you are so inclined. I've used some of her sample soaps that she was kind enough to include in my orders and I really liked those as well.

Quarterly Empties

Hey guys!

I know this is supposed to be a Challenge post but I'm very lazy and haven't edited or uploaded those pictures yet. So maybe you'll see that post on Thursday, lol. 

So this is my first Empties Post. I love seeing what other people are using and while I'm not the most exciting user of products (nor do I use enough to do a monthly post), I thought it would be fun to do a quarterly empties post. Let's see if I remember to do this again in 3 months, haha! I'll try really hard to come up with a post next month :-p

First, the overview.... see, not a lot of stuff for 3 months worth! LOL 

 

Beauty Secrets Acetone: Clearly, I use a lot of nail polish remover and I like this one from Sally Beauty Supply. It has a slight scent to it.. just enough to cut the acetone smell so it's not completely unbearable. I'll definitely be buying more. I've been avoiding Sally's so I won't buy ALL THE POLISH!

Bath & Body Works Aqua Blossom Foaming  Hand Soap: One of my favorite soap scents. I love the foaming soaps from BBW... so nice! This is a scent I frequently purchase.

L'Oreal Telescopic Carbon Black Mascara: I am always trying new drugstore mascara because what woman isn't in search of the perfect eyelashes? I've not found a lot of mascara's that actually do what they claim. Maybe I'm too dumb to notice but they all just seem to be pretty standard to me. I did notice that this didn't clump and that is always a plus. I might repurchase, if it's on sale. Otherwise, nothing I would run out to grab.

Degree NaturEffects Honeysuckle: Deodorant is another thing I am constantly change up. I'll probably buy this again at some point, mainly because I loved the scent, but I'm currently using a different brand/product.

Qtica Cool Sugar Scrub: This smells totally and completely amazing with a delicious fresh cool mint smell and I would definitely repurchase it EXCEPT that it was very difficult to squeeze out of the tube. Like, I had to use both hands to squeeze the container. Even taking the cap off didn't help. Soooo... unless it comes in a tub or they change the cap, I probably wouldn't buy this again.

Bath & Body Works Pomegranate Citrus Scrub: This smelled wonderful, very fresh and fruity. And a nice wide mouth/cap! I'd probably re-purchase this. It's a very nice summer scent.

Pantene Moisture Mist Detangler: This is one of my favorite products that I use every single day. I have very fine but thick hair and even though I condition in the shower, I need this to help me brush the tangles out of my hair! I always re-buy this.

Tucker Hill Designs Bubble Bath in Chamomile and Lavender: First off, I love the ease of use for this product. One envelope is a bath serving (serving?) and while that sounds stupid to say 'ease of use' for bubble bath... it's simple, lol. This had a nice scent and provided plenty of bubbles. I like bubbles.

Antoinette's Bath House Bubble Bath Cake in Bad Romance and Lilac Ginger Fizz: First of all, go here and look at how beautiful this bath cake is...IT'S BLUE AND GLITTERY! Second, it's smelled wonderful. I'm a floral person, no doubt, and this was right up my alley. AND it didn't leave me or my tub glittery, although I was a little bit hoping that it would :-/

Both of those bubble cakes provided plenty of bubbles and felt very moisturizing. Ahhhh... I love taking a nice bubble bath.

I've used plenty of other bath bombs/bubble cakes but they either didn't have packaging that I wanted to save or I forgot and threw it away, lol. I'll try to be better for next time :-)

Do you guys like to see these kinds of posts? What are some of the products that you are using up and would recommend??

Talk to you soon!
