Empties: July 2014

So I actually don't go through things very quickly because of the fact that I usually alternate my products. Don't expect to see these posts on a regular basis but I like to see what people like (or don't like) based on their use of the product. I will go through what I have used up and give my honest opinions on them and whether I would repurchase and why.
So, off we go!

Oh L'Occitane, how I do love you. My first empty is the L'Occitane Shea Butter travel size hand cream. I got this in a Sephora sample bag a few months ago and I got absolutely hooked. So hooked that I actually bought three more in different scents so that I wouldn't have to go without. Once you put it on it feels a bit greasy for about a minute but after that it is so comfortable and my hands are so much softer and moisturized. I'm pretty obsessive when it comes to washing my hands so they tend to get dry due to soap much quicker than normal. This really helps and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good hand cream.

The second product is Dove Go Fresh Rebalance Body Wash with NutriumMoisture with a plum and sakura blossom scent. I am big into body washes and I really love the scent. It's not too sweet or fragrant, just enough to smell fresh but not offensive to the people who have to spend time around me. The formula was good and I did notice my skin was softer when using it. I probably would purchase this body wash again but I would like to try out other things from Dove. I find that this brand is one of the few that actually makes me notice a difference in my skin.

Simple Kind to Skin Vital Vitamin Foaming Cleanser is actually not too shabby. Would I purchase it again? No. But do I regret purchasing it in the first place? No again. Some facial cleansers smell disgusting but this one really was very kind to my skin and to my nose. The foam is really wonderful but I feel that maybe it was a bit too gentle. I find that when using it to remove makeup it doesn't completely get the job done. If I just use it as a cleanser, however, it's really good. It doesn't leave my face too dry or rubbery feeling (I hate cleansers like that) but it does leave me feeling extremely clean.

Next is the Neutrogena Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover. When it comes to removing my eye makeup it really is the saddest part of my day. I love to wear the blackest eyeliner and the blackest mascara that I can get my hands on. I guess in a way I'm just asking for it. This product does get the job done but it's not necessarily the best product I have but it definitely is the best cheapest eye makeup remover so for that reason I will most likely end up repurchasing once I am finished with my much loved Lancome BI-FACIL.

Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara in black (of course). Oh where do I even begin? To quickly answer the question this is surely going to be repurchased very soon. For the price of $10 this is an amazing mascara. The itty bitty tube and the itty bitty brush actually goes a long way and it is the only thing stopping me from looking like a panda. I have gotten my friends hooked on this and for the price it simply cannot be beat. The only thing that is a negative is that it really is a pain to get off but it's a small price to pay for such a fantastic product. I'm sad to see it empty but excited to be purchasing another.

Here we are at the last item. Have you had fun? I hope you have. If not then I'm sorry, I have nothing to offer you for wasting your time but since you've made it this far stick around will you? So Loreal Voluminous Butterfly Mascara in blackest black, though mine says "last out butterfly" on the packaging, has a crazy brush but is actually amazing. I use it only for my top lashes and the brush is a bit tricky to get used to (I'm not a contortionist though you wouldn't be able to tell the way that I have to move my arm to apply this mascara). The effect though is actually very nice. It's not clumpy and does a nice job of fanning out the lashes. I think overall L'Oreal has some of the best mascaras in the drugstore. That being said I would only maybe repurchase this because of the fact there are too many mascaras and too little time. I don't feel that it is a holy grail mascara for me and while I have enjoyed using it daily it's time to move on. There are too many fish in the sea, it's not you it's me, and other cliched break-up lines. I hope we can still be friends.
