Empties #2

6/04/2019




These are Empties I've accumulated over the past six months or so. Let's get started! 




☛ Sephora Triple Action Cleansing Water Matcha Green Tea Extract $12


repurchase? yes |   no   |   [ maybe ]  

I still have my Kiku toner that I’m trying to finish up. I’ll give this another try if I don’t feel like waiting for Amazon to ship my stuff. 



☛ Pantene Pro-V Intense Rescue Shots Ampoule $2 


repurchase? [ yes ]  |   no   |    maybe 

Sub for Joico conditioner which retails at $30. Better bang for my buck. 



☛ Maybelline Fit Me Shine-Free + Balance Foundation Stick $7 


repurchase? yes |   [ no  ]  |    maybe   

I want to invest in a higher-end foundation. As soon as I finish up my NARS samples and Wet n Wild foundation, I’m going to purchase the NARS Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation. 




☛ Joico K-PAK Revitaluxe Bioadvanced Restorative Treatment $24


repurchase? yes |  [  no  ] |    maybe 

Didn’t really do anything for my bleached hair. I’ve found a way cheaper alternative. The packaging is super pretty though. 


☛ Joico Blonde Life Brightening Conditioner $19


repurchase? yes |   [ no ]  |    maybe   

I liked it the first couple of times I’ve used it. Afterwards though, it wouldn’t really do anything for my tangled, damaged hair. Again the packaging is super pretty. 





☛ Maybelline New York Dream Cushion Fresh Face Liquid Foundation On-thego in Warm Nude 30 $7


repurchase? yes |   no   |   [ maybe ]  

I prefer the coverage of this over the Lumi one by L’Oreal. I hope they don’t ever discontinue this product, although I have a feeling that they already are. Anyway, this product was great for every time I come over to a SO’s house to sleep over. Helps me get ready quickly in the morning. They also have a wider set of skin color range than a typical BB cushion from Korea 



☛ Katinko Counter irritant $7


repurchase?  [ yes ]  |   no   |    maybe 

This product works every time I have mosquito bites and also when I have a tummy ache. Wish this was readily available in stores everywhere. At the moment, only Amazon has it. 


☛Bath and Body Works Warm Vanilla Sugar Anti-Bacterial Hand Gel [gift]


repurchase? yes |   no   |   [ maybe ]   

I want to try and get the Peach Bellini one instead. This one is super great for the holidays though. The scent wasn’t overpowering. 


☛ The Ritual of Ayurveda Foaming Shower Gel  by Rituals  [gift]


repurchase? yes |   [ no ]    |   maybe   

It smelled really nice. But for a small bottle that costs $10, I don’t think I could bite the bullet on this one. So won’t be repurchasing. 




☛ Soo Ae Revitalizing Rose Mist $6 


repurchase? yes |   no   |   [ maybe ]  

Got this at Walmart. It lasted a really long time. It has anti-oxidant properties and worked really well as a toner. Not that much of a fan of the rose scent. 


☛ Harry’s Shaving Tool 


repurchase? yes |   no   |   [ maybe ]  

Paired this with ‘Dirty’ by Lush. It was a pretty good combo. Men’s razor and men’s shaving cream. I’ve been gifted a lot of women’s razor that surprisingly is on par with men’s razor, so I haven’t been able to pick this up in a while. Might soon, though when I run out of razors to use. The elephant in their logo saying "hi" is super cute btw. 




☛ L’Oreal Paris Elvive Total Repair 5 Damage-Erasing Balm $6 


repurchase?  [ yes ]  |   no   |   maybe  

HG. So yes. This is the cheaper alternative I was talking about that I have implemented in my skincare regime to replace Joico. 




☛ Sea-Tox Mermaid Approved Sea Mineral Body Polish Detox by Bath and Body Works $14 


repurchase? yes |   no   |   [ maybe ]  

Super cute packaging. I’m not really into body scrubs anymore. I used to be 3 years ago though. So not sure yet, if I will repurchase.  Actually not sure if they still carry this. I feel like it’s been discontinued. But BBW packaging has been really on point lately. 


☛ Cotton Puffs + Cotton Rounds 


repurchase? yes |   no   |   [ maybe ]  

The only one I’m repurchasing is the one from Daiso. The 150 pieces for $1.50. It’s in a further location which sucks. The Daiso near me doesn’t seem to have this ever on stock. 


☛ Face Shop samples


repurchase? yes |   [ no ]   |   maybe  

I wrote a post about this. You can check it out [here].  I did love these but after using them for a while, I feel like they broke me out so I won’t be repurchasing. 




☛ Joico K-PAK Color Therapy Conditioner Revitalisant (Bio-advance Peptide Complex) $30 


repurchase? yes |   [  no ]    |   [ maybe ]   

I liked this for rescuing my hair after it became super bleached. But it’s just too expensive to keep repurchasing. So I don’t think I’ll be repurchasing this anytime soon. 


☛ Aveeno Skin Relief Body Wash Fragrance Free $14 


repurchase? [ yes ]  |   no   |    maybe

Only body wash with no scent that didn’t make me all ashy. Super moisturizing. Worth the money.   


☛ Aveeno Positively Nourishing Calming Body Wash (Lavender, Chamomile, Ylang Ylang) $7 


repurchase? yes |   [ no ]   |    maybe    

Has a pleasant scent. Not as drying as other body wash I’ve tried but it isn’t like the previous Aveeno product I’ve mentioned. 




☛ Equate Nourishing Nail Polish Remover (Enriched with Vitamin E) $3


repurchase?  [yes ] |   no   |   maybe

Doesn’t make my nails flake like acetone so will be repurchasing again in the future. 


☛ Nivea Men Sensitive Shaving Gel $3 


repurchase? [  yes ]  |   no   |    maybe     

Sub for ‘Dirty’ from Lush ($15). Works really well and doesn’t run out as fast. 


☛  Breath of Fresh Air Toner Water by LUSH $12 


repurchase? yes |  [  no  ]   |   maybe 

Purchased this out of loyalty for LUSH for introducing me to the world of toners. But, this isn’t something I particularly enjoy.     


☛ Slow FE supplement  $15 


repurchase?  [ yes ]  |   no   |   maybe 

Super gentle on my tummy so definitely would repurchase again. Good for that time of the month when you’re specifically iron deprived for a whole week.     




☛ 100% Whey Protein Isolate Cookies n Cream 


repurchase? [ yes ] |   no   |   maybe 

I have two other different flavors I need to finish but as soon as I’m done with those I’m coming back to Cookies n Cream. I love this product because it helped me gain weight. 




☛ Nivea Moisturizing Body Wash Care & Sparkle (Shimmers with Sparkling Diamond Powder) 


repurchase?  yes  |   no   |   [ maybe ]  

Love the fragrance o this one. Haven’t noticed it making my skin dry so will most likely repurchase. 

Outro: Those are all of my empties for this past couple of months. What are yours? Let me know in the comment section below.
