Empties!

I love watching empties videos and reading empties blogs because I feel like you get the best review of a product when you've used it all the way through. I wanted to share with you some products I've used up, my opinions on them, and if I would repurchase. I have a lot of stuff, so lets get started!

Hair Products

It's a 10 Miracle Leave-In Plus Keratin- I used up a giant bottle of this and a small bottle of the original Miracle Leave-In. The Keratin version is by far my favorite. I love using it right after I get out of the shower to help reduce tangles in my hair. It also makes styling easier and keeps down any broken hairs. I will definitely repurchase!

Big Sexy Hair Volumizing Dry Shampoo- Since I have fine and oily hair I pretty much have to wash my hair every day. But we all have those mornings that we're in a rush and don't have time to wash our hair. On those mornings this dry shampoo is my savior! I also use it to touch-up if I need to re-style or just take out any oil throughout the day. It absorbs the oil really well and definitely amps up the volume! I am on my 3rd or 4th bottle of the product, so I will definitely keep repurchasing!

John Frieda Full Repair Shampoo & Conditioner- I tend to switch back and forth between different shampoos and conditioners, and this is one that I always come back to. It keeps my hair silky smooth and cuts down on the need for a lot of styling products. Repurchase is a yes :) 

Skin Care

Simple Cleansing Facial Wipes- I decided to try these out since I have sensitive skin, which is what they are made for. I thought they did fine taking off my makeup. The only thing I didn't like was the smell, so I think I'll be sticking with my usual wipes (Neutrogena). I will most likely not repurchase these wipes.

Philosophy Purity One-Step Facial Cleansing Cloths- Another pack of wipes I wanted to try out. Jaclyn Hill is so persuasive! I liked these fine, but I'm not a fan of paying $15 for something my Neutrogena ones (which are $7) can do! I won't be spending my money on these ones again.

Boscia Super Charge Overnight Moisture- I loooove this moisturizer! I always like to use a heavier moisturizer at night so my skin doesn't dry out from makeup or any acne treatment products. This one keeps my skin so soft and moisturized. This is my second bottle I've used, so it's safe to say I'll be repurchasing!

Shiseido Advanced Super Revitalizing Cream- This cream is the epitome of luxury. I only had a sample, which I used so sparingly I felt like I was treating it like gold. It feels so great on the skin and is very moisturizing. Unfortunately, the full size bottle is $95, which is definitely out of my price range!

Fresh Lotus Youth Preserve Face Cream- This was part of my Fresh 500 point perk from Sephora. I really enjoyed using it at night because it was refreshing but also very moisturizing. Although I really liked it, I don't think I will purchase it just because I have other moisturizers I like better.

Murad Acne Spot Treatment- I've used this product once before, and I remember liking it because it didn't dry out my skin as bad as stronger spot treatments. That being said, I feel like the ones that really work on my acne end up drying up my face. Since I've been out of this I've been using the Mary Kay Clear Proof Acne system, and it works much better at clearing my acne. Since I have another product that works better (and is cheaper) I won't repurchase this one.

Clinique All About Eyes Rich Eye Cream- I have to say Clinique has been on a roll lately! Every product of theirs I've been trying I have loved. This eye cream is no exception. It's moisturizing enough that I can use it at night, but not too thick or oily so I can still use it in the morning under makeup. I might need to make a trip to Sephora ASAP to repurchase!

Makeup

Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer- Maybelline has to be my favorite brand at the drugstore. This highlighting concealer feels so high end when you use it, but you can buy it at Ulta for $7.99. I think it has great coverage and it goes on very easily. This is a definite repurchase for me!

Bare Minerals READY Touch Up Transulcent Veil- I was using this powder for seriously probably 2 years. A little bit goes such a long way, and I really love the consistency of it. It works well to keep my oil levels down, but doesn't make me look chalky. I probably won't repurchase right now just because of how many other powders I have, but I will in the future!

Clinique High Impact Extreme Volume Mascara- Ok I'm not even going to share how long I had this mascara because it's probably unsanitary. But it just shows how much I loved it! It gives my lashes awesome length and volume as well as keeping them curled. This product is a thumbs up and a must have!

Maybelline Great Lash BIG Mascara- This used to be my go-to mascara because I like the big brush. However, this time I used it I wasn't a huge fan because I felt like my lashes were super skinny. I might repurchase in the future for a cheap mascara to use with falsies, but not right now.

Benefit They're Real Mascara- Ok I know everyone and their mother is obsessed with this mascara, but I have to say I am not a fan! I really don't like rubber brushes like this mascara has, and I felt like it made my lashes really hard. I won't be repurchasing this, but I am definitely excited to try the new They're Real Push Up Eyeliner. Hopefully I like that one better!!

I hope you guys liked hearing my thoughts on these products. Let me know if you would like to see more empties blogs in the future!!

XOXO,
