July 2017 - Monthly Empties!

Time to look at my beauty trash! 

Benefit Cosmetics Stay Don’t Stray Eyeshadow Primer ~ sample (full size is $35.00). A primer for concealers and eyeshadows. 

This was okay - I feel like I have been using this forever, which is good but I just didn't love it. It did the job and kept my shadow in place for the most part, just nothing spectacular.
Repurchase: Not likely

May 2017 - Monthly Empties!

Time to check out my May garbage:

Garnier Clean Refreshing Remover Wet Cleansing Towelettes - Normal Skin ~ $10.99. Instantly removes dirt and makeup. Revitalizes skin. Peppermint and grape extracts. Oil free.

I have never found face wipes that I like until these! I ended up packing them along in my hospital bag and I used these so much! I used these for swatches, makeup, etc! 
Repurchase: Yes! 

August 2015 - Month of Masks in Review (Mask Empties)

This post is a review of all the masks I use each month - 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! 

Let's jump right in:

August 1

Tony Moly Panda Dream Eye Patch ~ $1.80. Improves dark circle 60g's the most suitable for eye skin - strong adherence black sheet - it makes the eye area brighter after use.

June 2015 Beauteque Mask Maven - Face Mask Subscription Review

Beauteque is an American company that focuses on creating a beauty bag subscription featuring Asian Beauty products. Beauteque launched their original "BB Bag" Subscription in January of this year and their "Mask Maven" was just launched in March - this is their 3rd bag! 

The Mask Maven subscription is described as:

"The Mask Maven is a luxurious subscription service offering a lovely assortment of masks each month to keep your skin smooth, soft, and spectacular. 

You will receive all kinds of masks including face sheet masks, hand and feet masks, hair masks, wash off masks, and more."

Beauteque Mask Maven is $15 monthly - if you sign up for a longer subscription, you can save a little money: $14 per month if you sign up for 6 months, or $13 per month if you sign up for 12 months. Shipping per month is $3.95 for the U.S., $5.95 to Canada, and $8.95 to Europe. Each month you can expect to receive 9-11 masks of all varieties.

So I initially signed up for 3 months, which was was supposed to end in May and while I liked the masks, I had received a ton of repeats and the subscription seemed a little disorganized. I was planning on cancelling (I love Mask Genie and don't really need 2 masks subscriptions every month) but I forgot, so it renewed for the next 3 months. I really hope that this subscription improves from the last 3 months! 

Here is a look at the June 2015 Mask Maven:

I love that they included a little note saying they are taking their subscribers comments in to account! Another amazing thing is they included a product card this month!

May 2015 Empties!

Through my love of make-up Youtube videos, I have come to love empties videos! It is just such a good way to review a product when the whole thing is used up! 

I have seen a few other bloggers do these posts and thought it would be a good way to review all my empties given that I don't do Youtube videos! At the start of May, I used 5 products within the first 2 days and it gave me the motivation to see what I use up and what I thought of them! 

(Also, just as a note I will only be showing empties of make-up, skincare, body and hair products - the rest you don't need to see! I won't be showing many masks here either because I review my whole Month in Masks in a separate post that you can check out here!)

Let me know if you like reading these posts and if you are interested in seeing a monthly post!

Here is a look at my May Empties:

Surya Brasil Sapien Women - Vegan & Natural Shave Gel ~ full size $20.39. The eco friendly Sapien Women Shave Gel protects your skin while shaving. Its a natural and vegan product made with exotic organic Amazonian ingredients like Cupuaçu butter, Pracaxi oil*, Macadamia oil, Vitamin E to prevent drying and protect sensitive skin. Organic Aloe Vera juice and vegetable glycerin promote intense hydration.
I received this product in the Nina Garcia June 2014 box and it smells soooo good! I was a little unsure of a gel type shave gel at first but this is awesome - I love that it is vegan and all natural. A little product went a long way and this lasted a long time. I will repurchase this when I get through a few other shave creams!
