Empties

It's that time again. I've been hoarding my trash and it needs to go. I've been kind of strange about this because I haven't kept everything. I'm not sure why some things make it into the save bin and others don't, but I was doing some tidying and thought that it needed to go.

Eye Stuff


I finished off three mascaras, plus an eyeliner.

Maybelline Collosal Volum'

I have the waterproof version and it's never let me down. It's just not the best thing I've used. Would repurchase, but not now.

Clinique High Impact Mascara

This was another mascara that was good, but just not great. It didn't smudge until around the six hour mark, but after that it was all panda eyes. My eyes are really bad at keeping mascara and eyeliner on, so maybe try this one if your mascara doesn't budge ever. Probably would not repurchase.

Cargo Better-Than-Waterproof Mascara

This stays on like waterproof mascara should, but comes off easily at the end of the day. It was my go-to when I was heading from the office straight to another function. Would repurchase.

Almay Intense I-Color in Black Pearl

This just had to go. It irritated my eyes, was impossible to get a thin line, and was this strange black-gray-oily color. I kept trying it in different ways, but it just wasn't working for me. Would not repurchase.

Skin Stuff

Korres Wild Rose Moisturizer

I liked this a great deal. It had a nice rose scent and made my skin feel awesome. I kept this one in my purse until it was gone. Would repurchase.

Skyn Iceland Pure Cloud Cream

I've used this in the past and if I can ever get past the sticker shock I would buy it in a heartbeat. I've never used a better skin cream. I am not sure what the nordic berries do, but it is magic. Zits? Gone. Dry patches? Like they were never there. Dark circles? How about four straight days of sleep. Magic. Would repurchase.

Bath and Body Works Bali Mango Body Lotion

You know, this isn't the best lotion I've ever owned, but it smells the best. By far. Would repurchase.

Benefit Total Moisture Facial Cream

I have so many of these little sample pots that I have been slowly working through. It's a pretty good every day face cream because it absorbs quickly when I'm in a hurry in the morning before I put on my makeup. Would repurchase...after I get rid of the other 4 samples.

Philosophy Loveswept Body Lotion

This came in a gift bag that I got at a blogger event. I will be the first person to admit that Philosophy as a brand does nothing for me. I don't usually like their stuff. This was not an exception. It had a strange scent. I couldn't quite put my finger on it. It also leaves a funny residue on your skin. Would not repurchase.

L'Occitane Amande Hand Cream

This was another gift from an event. I love L'Occitane's hand creams. This does have a very strong scent that my mother said made me smell “like a French whore” so I might avoid it in the future for that reason, but the other scents are just grand. Would not repurchase this scent.

Hair Stuff

Garnier Fructis Damage Eraser Serum

This is the second bottle of this I've gone through, and I love the way it works. My hair looks and feels healthier. I have not gotten a new bottle because I have some other serum samples to work through. Would repurchase, after my samples are gone.

Tresemme Platinum Strength Heat Protectant Spray

Tried and true, I've always got a bottle of this or the original around. I recently got my hair cut into some heavy bangs and they need a lot of heat styling now, so this is an essential for me. Already repurchased.
