Spring Cleaning & Decluttering - Skincare Purge, Tosses, and Empties!

So lately, I have walked in to my office (wear I keep all my makeup/skincare/etc) and have been feeling quite overwhelmed - my organization system has just not been working! This past week I finally got a cute little dresser and filled it with bins so I can organize my skincare a bit better! It will keep everything new, unopened and in my queue - and everything in use is nicely organized in my bathroom! 

But, while that all took place I realized that I have a TON of stuff - I went crazy about 2 years ago and opened and used everything I owned, which means I had a crazy amount of half or near done products that are now done! 

So, since they are close to empties and I love some and hate some, I thought I would share my purged products with you guys! (I hope you are ok with these types of posts because I plan or doing this with makeup, hair, and nail goodies soon too!)

DewyTree Aqua Collagen Peptide Sleeping Mask ~ $26.08. Soothe stressed skin and turns rough skin into dewy and bright skin.

I opened this almost 2 years ago and have used it for a bit - it just got pushed aside for some much better sleeping masks! So... it just wasn't great...
Repurchase: Nah... 

August 2016 - Monthly Empties

Here is a look at my Monthly Empties! 

Kiesque LIQUID PALISADE™ Easy-Peel Polish Barrier ~ $17.00. Kiesque’s LIQUID PALISADE™ Easy-Peel Polish Barrier is perfect for keeping your cuticles free from polish when brushing on traditional manis or water-marble designs. A liquid tape designed for your nails, it features a quick-drying formula and an easy-to-use handle with a short, wide brush for instant application to cuticles. 

I completed a full review on this product for a Mani Monday - you can view it here! This is a barrier for doing nail art. I really liked this product; but, when I went to use it this month - it dried up on me! I only got through about half the product and the rest came out in a big clump! 

Repurchase: Yes probably! 

April 2016 - Month in Masks & Mask Empties

As most of you know by now, my Skincare Routine is very important to me and masking is a huge part of that routine (and it is probably my favorite part of my skincare routine! 

This post is a review of all the masks I use each month and mini reviews on all of them - I also consider the Month of Masks my Mask Empties post, because I do not feature my sheet masks in my monthly empties post! You can check out my past Month of Masks here! 

My goal for April was to not only use a lot of masks, but to use a good variety of masks as well and I think I accomplished that! Here is a look:

Skincare Sunday - My Favorite Weird Masks Recap

I have tried some seriously cool and weird masks since diving in to k-beauty products! But, I feel like some of the past reviews of these awesome masks get lost in all my newer posts! 

So for this week's Skincare Sunday, I am going to recap my 5 Favorite Weird and Cool masks! 

1. Elizavecca Milky Piggy Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask

How strange and amazing is this carbonated mask?! You apply the clay textured mask to the skin and it instantly starts bubbling and foaming on the skin! 

Check out my full review here! 

June 2015 - Month of Masks in Review

My Skincare Routine is very important to me - you can view my Daily and Nightly routines here if you are familiar with the Korean 10 Step skincare routine! Masks are a big part of this routine and since I have come to love this routine, I have incorporated so many new masks in to my routine! I love trying different brands and different types of masks! Hopefully after this post you love masks as much as I do!

Hope you enjoy reading about all the masks I have tried!

June 1
Lush Love Lettuce ~ $9.95. Love Lettuce is our exfoliating ground almond mask that scoops up dirt, oil and debris and washes it all away. Exfoliation is an important part of good skincare, as it removes the buildup of dead skin that can clog your pores and cause impurities. Love Lettuce is a great example of how just a few ingredients can make a fresh, effective product for the skin. We blend calming French lavender oil with seaweed and honey to nourish and soften skin, and to balance oily T-zones.

Wine + Mask Wednesday (Lock & Worth Cabernet Franc Rose & Elizavecca Milky Piggy Carbonated Bubble Clay Mask)

Yay - time for another Wine and Mask Wednesday (clearly my favorite day of the week!)

My mask and wine this week are both really uniques! 

Memebox Special #31 Earth & Sea Cosmetics - Review and Unboxing

I think I have established by now that I have a slight obsession with Memebox. I just have been loving the products I receive and I have honestly changed my whole beauty routine (full post coming soon) from everything I have gotten. So, sorry if there is a few too many Memebox posts but there will be more coming because I can't stop buying them!

Memebox is a Korean Beauty Box company. Memebox is not a monthly subscription box - they instead have a ton you can choose from ranging in price from $15 and up. The boxes have different themes and their are limited quantities (from what it looks they, they are very popular and the boxes sell out quickly!) The boxes come with 4-8 full size and deluxe sample size items & they usually show you 1 spoiler from the box and the rest are all surprises! Shipping to Canada is $6.99 (shipping does take any where from 10-20 business days) and they ship worldwide!

The Earth & Sea Cosmetics box came out in late July and shipping in early September. (This was only the second box I ordered so I feel like I have been waiting forever - but when you order Memeboxes look at the shipping date because they are usually about a month or so away!)

Earth & Sea Cosmetics was $29 US + $6.99 shipping. It is described as "when toxins, dirt and oil build up get under the skin, its waste-filtering system gets jammed, ultimately clogging up pores and making skin look dull.  So, we're bringing you nature’s clean up crew to clear the way for cleaner and brighter skin.
Charcoal, volcanic ash and mud all work together to draw out dirt and excess oil to extract stubborn impurities from deep within pores! Mineral rich marine energy works as the step 2 treatment for refining pores and replenishing moisture to the skin.
Our Earth & Sea Cosmetics Box offers the best natural ingredients  to give you your best looking skin"
