Empties: Didn't Make the Move
Nicole by OPI nail
polish in Make a Change
Why throw it out? I was going through
my nail polish and testing to see which ones were particularly gloopy, and this
one had to go.
How much use did it
get? Tons! I got my money’s worth of it.
Repurchase? Maybe. I’m not
really attached to particular nail polishes, but I like this brand.
Batiste Dry Shampoo
Why throw it out? It was empty!
How much use did it
get? Loads. I use this dry shampoo at least once a week at a minimum.
Repurchase? Definitely.
Dove Go Fresh Cool
Essentials
Why throw it out? Broken.
How much use did it
get? Not much. I think it came broken. It was sent to me, so I didn’t pick
it out. It also had a funny smell, and I don’t want to have a funny smell.
Repurchase? No.
Annabelle Eye
Make-Up Remover Pads
Why throw it out? This product is not
good. The pads are saturated with oil, leaving your face completely slick. I
would have to wash my face for a long time to get the oil off too. On the bright
side, it takes off everything.
How much use did it
get? Some. It came with 75 pads, I think I used about 40 of them.
Repurchase? No.
Covergirl Clean
Makeup Foundation
Why throw it out? Not my shade!
How much use did it
get? Some. I mostly used this as a mix for my winter foundation when it got
too light, but I have better foundations that match more now. It wasn’t worth
moving. It’s also very runny and hard to work with.
Repurchase? No.
Garnier Ultra-Lift
Transformer
Why throw it out? It makes your face
and hands pumpkin orange. See review here.
How much use did it
get? I used it twice.
Repurchase? Nope.
L’Oreal True Match Foundation
Why throw it out? Not my shade!
How much use did it
get? Like the other foundation, I used this as a mix, and I liked it. It
just has run out of usefulness for me.
Repurchase? In a different
color.
Revlon Powder Blush
in Naturally Nude
Why throw it out? Extra old.
How much use did it
get? Tons. I used this consistently for more than a year. It was old and
needed to go though, and I had already hit pan.
Repurchase? Maybe in a
different color. I liked this for every day, but I think I would like it better
in a different shade. The formula is great though.
Annabelle Eyeshadow
Duo in Verdant
Why throw it out? I never wore this.
How much use did it
get? A little. It was my least-used eyeshadow though.
Repurchase? No. It’s chalky and
not very pigmented.
Covergirl Eyeshadow
in Espresso
Why throw it out? Broken. I was going
to take it along, but it hit the floor and shattered.
How much use did it
get? Tons. Before it broke, I had hit pan on it. It was my all-purpose
shadow. Good for creases, contouring (in a pinch), eyebrows, whatever. It was
great.
Repurchase? Yes.
Essence Ready for
Boarding Lip and Cheek Crème
Why throw it out? It’s awful.
How much use did it
get? Hardly any. I played around with it for a bit, but it was just useless.
It has no staying power at all, and just slides off. It’s also heavy and greasy
and broke me out really bad.
Repurchase? Nope.
BA Star Holographic
Glitter
Why throw it out? The packaging never
really closed right, and this makes transporting it hard. It’s a good product,
but the packaging is inconvenient.
How much use did it
get? Some. I like to get glittery on special occasions.
Repurchase? Maybe. I still have
some other BA Star glitter from
another press sample they sent me.
Good Stuff Organics
Moisture Whipped Hand Crème
Why throw it out? Didn’t moisturize,
smelled strange, and was oddly thick and chunky for a lotion.
How much use did it
get? Not much.
Repurchase? No.
L’Occitane Shea
Butter Hand Cream (x7)
Why throw it out? All used up! I had
accumulated these in gifts and giveaways and finally used them up. These are my
favorite lotions.
How much use did it
get? Lots!
Repurchase? Yes.
Elizabeth Arden
Eight Hour Cream
Why throw it out? It smells so bad
that I couldn’t use it for anything. It’s supposedly so good for so many
purposes, but I could not get past that god-awful smell. I talked about this inthis post.
How much use did it
get? None.
Repurchase? No.
Aveeno Daily Moisturizing
Lotion (x4)
Why throw it out? All empty! A good
lotion, although not one of my favorites. It takes a long time to sink into
your skin.
How much use did it
get? Lots.
Repurchase? Probably not.
Flawless Touch Eye
Primer
Why throw it out? This didn’t work.
My eyeshadows stayed on less well after I primed with this.
How much use did it
get? Not much.
Repurchase? No.
Mereadesso Lip Treat
Lip Primer
Why throw it out? Kind of a useless
product, in my opinion. I didn’t notice a difference in the staying power of my
lipstick, and the extra step seemed unneeded. It also didn’t moisturize.
How much use did it
get? Not much.
Repurchase? No.
Softlips Lip Balm in
Vanilla
Why throw it out? It tastes like
plastic and doesn’t work.
How much use did it
get? Not much. Only when I was in a pinch.
Repurchase? No.
NYC Flatliner Eye
Pencil in Brown
Why throw it out? The pencil was
oddly shaped (wide and flat) in such a way that it was useless. It was also too
hard to use without it being kind of painful.
How much use did it
get? Very little.
Repurchase? No.
LA Colours Lipliner
Pencil in Red
Why throw it out? No staying power
and patchy application.
How much use did it
get? Very little.
Repurchase? No.
LA Colors Eyeliner
Pencil in Brown-Black
Why throw it out? Not a good product.
Zero staying power, sliding off your eyelid into a panda-esque mess.
How much use did it
get? Very little.
Repurchase? No.
I still have way too much stuff, but I think that this made a little bit of a dent.
