One of my
favorite kinds of videos on Youtube lately are the Empties or Products I’ve
Used Up ones. I actually like them better than Monthly Favorites! I feel like
you can really tell if something works for you after using it for a while. And I don’t know about you, but I only
repurchase products I REALLY like…
So after
this short introduction, I have some Empties for you! :)
I’ll start
with hair:
- First is my Lush Retread Conditioner. As you can probably tell from the pot, it has been in my shower for ages… I liked it but I stopped using it when it almost ran out (I tend to do that a lot, I don’t know why?). As I said, I liked it but I was a bit disappointed. It is sold as a super strong conditioner, whereas I think it compares to most richer drugstore conditioners. Also, I don’t really like the smell, it’s quite herbal and stays in my hair for a while. Conclusion: I won’t repurchase this product.
- The second is a Dry Shampoo (which you may have seen in my Most Worn Things tag last summer or this Haul). Of course, this isn’t the same bottle! I go through these like nothing else because I can’t live without it! I use it on second or third day hair but also to give my hair some texture and hold. Needless to say I always have a back up ;)
Next are
skincare products:
- The first is Tea Tree Oil from The Body Shop. My sister and I use this as a spot treatment. I don’t think it makes the spots disappear faster but I do find they heal nicer. I already bought a new bottle, because I like to have one at home whenever I need it.
- Another treatment type product I used up is a package of nose strips (I also hauled them here). They are budget proof and I will definitely be buying another set.
- The next skincare product is an eye makeup remover from Bourjois. I bought it while on holiday in Austria last year because I didn’t take a water based makeup remover with me. It does its job but I have a lot of similar things lying around so I will use those instead.
- The last skincare item is my everyday moisturizer by Clinique, Superdefense with SPF 25 for dry combination skin. As this is one of my skincare staples I already bought a new one.
The last
product is not really empty but I hit pan on it, which is the first time this
ever happened to me! Honestly, I didn’t understand what the fuss was about
before but I was actually very excited when I saw the first bit of metal coming
through.
On to the product itself: It is the MAC Beauty Powder in Pretty
Baby. I know it looks very pink but I use it as a powder to take away the shine
on my T-zone, as it isn’t to pigmented and I’m very fair.
That’s a
LOT of empties!
But this
means less clutter and trying new products, YAYYY!
