Empties!

Posted in Empties, Makeup, Skincare by

When I finally finish a product I feel accomplished.  It means I loved the product so much I stuck with it until the end and I got my money’s worth no matter what the cost was.  Over the last month I have managed to actually use up some of my collection and it wasn’t just one item either – it was several!  Shocking!

Here they are in all their glory:

Hair Products: 
  • OH BEE HIVE! by Bed Head; Tigi – it’s a dry shampoo and smells oh my gosh delicious.  It doesn’t have that “fresh” scent to it necessarily, but, it smells soooooooo good.  YUM.  I don’t really totally get dry shampoo as they don’t really seem to ever work THAT great – but it’s probably user error. haha.  That being said I do think this does help some in reducing the oil, making my hair have some body, and helping make it smell good for one more day.  IMG_1639
  • Sacred Tiare leave in detangler by Carol’s Daughter – it does a wonderful job of detangling my long silky hair that always manages to tangle itself once I get out of the shower.  It smells amazing and the scent lingers in your hair.  It is nice and cheap at Target – a bonus!.
  • Super Skinny Serum by Paul Mitchell – a heat protectant spray that helps to smooth out your hair.  It also smells so good and I think it does help make my hair dry faster and keeps it healthy.  I do really like this product a lot!

Body Products – aka my HOLY GRAIL LOTIONS:

  • CeraVe in the tub lotion – this stuff is AMAZING.  I can’t speak enough wonders about this beautiful life saving product.  I have some of the worst winter itch eczema known to man-kind.  It might not be bad enough that others can see, but, let me tell you what it itched like the dickens this winter.  Nothing I did would make it stop!  It was awful.  UNTIL that is this wonderful product.  This stuff is pretty thicIMG_1660k.  But it has ceramides in it that help to restore the body’s barrier and it really moisturizes fantastic.  I would put this on after the shower and it helped a ton!
  • Eucerin Eczema Body Relief Creme – this stuff is also pure amazing and awesome.  I wouldn’t have made it through winter without it!  It helped soothe my poor troubled legs so I didn’t scratch the daylights out of them.  It is SUPER thick but it rubs in so nicely and your skin feels so wonderful after.  I would use this along with the CeraVe after my showers and also in between showers to help stay moisturized.

Randoms:

  • Smashbox Photofinish Primer Light – meh.  It’s an ok primer.  I’m not completely sold on primers per se, I guess I haven’t found one that I just LOVE totally.  This one did the trick but I thought it was expensive and just not really worth it.  I wouldn’t buy again.IMG_1669
  • Tom’s Toddler Training Toothpaste – mhmm.  It tastes delicious and is SLS-free.  My mouth no longer burns like crazy and my lips aren’t as constantly irritated when I brush my teeth.  Maybenot the most refreshing toothpaste flavor out there but way better for me than any other SLS toothpastes I used to use!
  • Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy Perfume – omg I love this scent.  It’s one of my all-time favorites.  I might have just found a better scent in the Viva La Juicy Gold, but, this is so yummy.  It is my go-to scent and I’m sad I’m out.  Plus the bottle is so cute with that big, fat pink bow and charm!  The notes are:
    • Lively fragrance features notes of wild berries and juicy mandarin followed by honeysuckle, gardenia, and jasmine. Viva La Juicy Eau de Parfum Spray by Juicy Couture finishes with notes of amber, caramel, vanilla, sandalwood, and praline
