More empties....

Told you guys I had a lot built up. I have been collecting my trash for a long time...

I finished three candles.

I got the Pure and Natural by Chesapeak Bay candle from Target. I forget the scent, but that doesn't matter because I'd never buy this candle again. It smells fresh and nice, but it was so subtle. I could barely smell it when lit. I would not recommend this brand. 

I also finished an Ava Organics Coconut Wax candle in Cinnamon Vanilla. It smelled really good and was very potent, however, the coconut wax burned super weirdly. It would never burn perfectly to the outside of the jar until it was nearing the bottom. It was just weird. I would not repurchase. 

My favorite candle of the bunch is the Avocado and Mint candle from Anthropologie. It smelled amazing and burned really well. However, it was still very subtle, and while I did enjoy it, I wouldn't purchase it again.

My favorite candles in general come from Nest. They burn the best and give off the most amazing smells powerfully. 

I also finished a load of my Trish McEvoy stuff (it's what I use the most of in my routine). 

I've used three of the Correct and Brighten Weekly Peel pads. This peel is f***ing amazing. When I feel lazy about my skincare (usually happens once a week, so perfect for this treatment), I just make sure all of my makeup is removed, swipe a peel pad all over my face, neck, arms (I get KP, and this really helps), and backs of the hands, go to sleep, and wake up with freaking awesome skin. The first time I tried these I was blown away with how good my skin looked and how well my KP was doing. The difference is incredible. I've used three of the pads, and I have a couple more to go. After that's done, I'll for sure repurchase. They come in packs of 10 for $125, so it's about 11 bucks a treatment. Worth every penny for a peel that gets dermatologist-esque results. 

I also went through a 1.7 oz bottle of the Trish McEvoy Long Wear Face and Eye Makeup Remover. I honestly thought this would be like any micellaire water, but it's seriously so good. It won't remove the most waterproof of the waterproof mascara, but if you're just looking to take off all the other makeup quickly, this stuff is really good. It leaves your skin feeling really comfortable, not dry, and I love using this if I just want to get my makeup off when I get home and throw on a face mask. I have another 1.7 ounce bottle and a big bottle of this to finish up, and I probably would get it again.

I used up two of the Trish McEvoy Beta Hydroxy Pads. I love these. It's a great toning step, and I feel like my skin is always happier and blemish-free when I use them. I would repurchase. 

I also finished my Even Skin Mineral Powder SPF 15 in Bare. This is my holy grail powder. I have two backups of this, and I would totally repurchase again and again and again.

I finished up Trish's Precision Brow Shaper in Natural Brunette. This pencil is amazing. It makes filling in you brows so effortless. It fills in little hairs, lasts amazingly, and the spoolie on it is the best. I love this pencil and will for sure repurchase. 

I tried Trish's new Dramatic Lash Mascara. Holy Shit this mascara is incredible. The first time I used it I was blown away. The brush is so easy to use, and it basically feathers out your lashes and gives them a ton of volume (maybe less length than her polymer fiber mascaras though). It builds so well. It's also easy to wash off. My only problem with it is that it doesn't last long (the tube doesn't) so I'll have to replace somewhat frequently. You can start to tell when it's done for when you can see little clumps on the lashes or if it flakes throughout the day. However, the two months of amazing lashes is worth it. 

I finishes another High Volume Mascara. I love this stuff. The brush is the perfect size to get the lower lashes. I was actually using this on the bottom lashes and to curl a few of my lashes on top that stick straight down, then I used Dramatic Lash on the top. That combination was golden and super long-wearing (no smudges with Dramatic Lash only on top). As always, my eye lashes look so healthy when I use Trish's mascaras. She makes the best, I swear. I would repurchase this. 

I finished a pot of the Bourjois 1 Second nail polish remover. Tis stuff is amazing, but toward the end, the sponge gets worn out and flakes little spongey bits everywhere, and all your old nail polish overwhelms the remover part and will just make your nails messier, staining them and leaving them oily. I would repurchase though, because I do love how easy this is.

I also used up a bottle of the Garnier Triple Nutrition Miracle Dry Oil. I really loved this stuff on my body. Anywhere else I wouldn't recommend it, but it's so nice otherwise. It leaves the skin pretty hydrated and silky feeling. I would repurchase in the summer to put on my legs in the day probably. It kind of airbrushes the skin.

I also finished the Hampton Sun Serious Shimmer Body Spray. I liked this because it was hydrating and smelled amazing. Otherwise, the shimmer isn't very noticeable, and it's just a bit frivolous. I wouldn't repurchase, because it's not something I really need.

I finished a Mama Mio Omega Body Buff as well. This stuff is nice, and has a super fine grit. I won't repurchase just because it's expensive for a body scrub, but I do still like it.

I also finished a tester of the Mama Mio Get Waisted body shaper that we had when we stopped carrying the line at work. It doesn't really do anything. The cooling sensation feels nice, though. I wouldn't repurchase.

I used the rest of our old Mama Mio Goodbye Stretch Marks tester. This was just a very hydrating lotion. I wouldn't repurchase though. 

I went through another mini bottle of the Dirty shower gel from Lush. I love the scent of this. However, I thought this bottle wasn't as foamy as my last one. I don't know why. I would repurchase this eventually because I missed the smell. 

I finished another bottle of the CVS Nail Polish remover (the purple one) that I had decanted a while back. This stuff is okay. Honestly though I like the Target Acetone-Free stuff way better. So I won't repurchase this one. 

I finished a couple shampoos: Nodé A Shampooing Apaisant and Nodé DS + from Bioderma. I liked both of these. Nodé A smells like watermelon, and soothes the scalp. Nodé DS+ smells good (but medicinal) and does help with dandruff. I won't repurchase either for the moment (can't go back to France yet), but if I have a scalp problem again, I'll check them out.

I also used up a bottle of the (Malin + Goetz) Intensive Hair Conditioner. You need quite a bit, so I ended up using this bottle fairly fast, but it's worth it. It left my hair super soft and really helped with frizz. I would repurchase once in a while. 

I went through a bottle of the CeraVé Hydrating Cleanser. It's a bit weak on the makeup removing front, but as a morning-time cleanser, I love this stuff. It doesn't dry out the skin at all, but it still does the job. I would repurchase. 

I also finished up Eysilix, Pepta-bright, and Hydraluron from Indeed Labs. I love how hydrated these make my skin feel, and I would for sure repurchase. You can now find them on drugstore.com!

I finished up the Una Brennan Tea Flower Clay Mask. I liked this, but I wouldn't repurchase this over trying something new. It didn't exactly banish zits like many clay masks, or regular masks for that matter, do.

I finished Effaclar Duo +, which I've raved on endlessly about and would for sure repurchase.

I used up a bottle of the Anthelios XL 50 + Gel Cream. I wouldn't repurchase. 

I used up the rest of a Julie Hewett Cucumber Water as my hydrating toner. It stung my eyes though. I wouldn't repurchase this over Serozinc. 

I also finished up a sample of the Thierry Mugler Alien perfume. I really like this, but not enough to make me purchase the full size. 

Hope that wasn't too unbearably long. See ya later!
