March 2022 Empties

 All my monthly trash on display for you to see. :P

1. The Ordinary Hair Care Multi-Peptide Serum for Hair Density: I feel like this genuinely did help my hair to grow and thicken up a bit, especially when I used it regularly. I'd definitely pick it up again sometime in the future as I like that it's a drug-free option that helps my hair feel thicker. I definitely saw a difference in hairs starting to grow in the sparse spots I put this on.

2.  beauty 360 Original Nail Polish Remover Pad: I purchased these to use on my feet since my local CVS, unfortunately, was closing and out of the liquid remover. These work fairly decent and do a good job of removing my nail polish. I'm able to get both feet done before it dries. That being said the pad is a bit thick which, overall, is not bad but it's difficult to get it around the cuticle area to remove nail polish there. 

3. berkley jensen unscented baby wipes: As I've mentioned in the past I really like to use baby wipes for wiping down surfaces including those of my makeup collection and for removing swatches when I do photos for this blog. I love these wipes! They have a nice thickness to them and stay moist really nicely (I keep my wipes upside down so the liquid doesn't gather over the bottom wipes while the ones at the top dry out). I also love that you get 100 in each pack because each pack lasts me several months. 

4. Molton Brown Vintage with Elderflower Body Lotion: This smells really delicious but unfortunately I didn't find it hydrating enough for my body and had to use a lot to get the level of hydration that I wanted. Granted, I got this on sale for $11 so I used it with abandon guilt-free but if I had paid full price for it; well certainly I'd have been upset!

5. Shiseido Prepare Razor L-Type: I really like to use these razors to fix up any precise areas of facial hair growth (for instance right under the nose) that's in sensitive areas and would hurt to pluck. This razor has dulled.

6.  ProBeauty Essentials Faux Mink Wispies x2: These lashes a re a bit hard to get the hang of because they seem to want to just jump off the lash-line or not glue quite to where the lash-line begins. It took two pairs for me to finally got the hang of them. That being said they're a very pretty lash that gives great length and volume. 

7. theraWell 100% Pure Essential Oil in Sweet Orange: This oil smells exactly as described, I would say it has more of an orange rind scent rather than the meat of an orange. Overall I found the scent of this in my diffuser to be pleasant but lightweight and faint. 

8. Tree Hut Vitamin Moroccan Rose Sugar Scrub: I really loved this scrub, as I do most Tree Hut scrubs because they feel scrubby and invigorating to use. This has a sweet yet floral rose scent to it.

9. Odacite All-Embracing Serum: Frankly I found all this serum did was give me a lot of hydration and glow because it's oil-based. That's not necessarily a bad thing but honestly I wish it would do something about my redness and although I didn't mind it too much, I'm not the biggest fan of the herbaceous scent this has. It does come with three amethyst beads which I think is cool; for the longest time I thought they were crystal pieces but they are, in fact, beads and are pierced in case you want to string them onto something.

10. SENKA Perfect Whip Collagen in Perfect Face Cleansing Foam: I am so sad to have used up this cleanser. It foams and hydrates the skin so beautifully and I know the next three cleansers I have lined up just don't work as well and I'm definitely looking to use those up before I replenish on another cleanser which makes me sad because this one was inexpensive and worked so well!

11. theraWell 100% Pure Essential Oil in Lemon: As with the orange I found the scent of this to be more of a rind scent with a rather faint throw. I personally like lemon essential oils with a tiny bit of sweetness that smell more like lemon juice so I can't say this was very up my alley.

12. A'pieu Lacto Bacillus Moisturizing Toner: Honestly I feel like this toner was pretty middle of the road for me. Due to its lactic acid, it was exfoliating but it didn't really do much in terms of moisturizing my skin. 

13. Eminence Organics Strawberry Rhubarb Dermafoliant with Lactic Acid: Honestly I absolutely love this exfoliator due to how it makes my skin feel like a baby's butt and due to its delicious scent. In addition to those things, this lasted me over a year - I exfoliate every other day -which I genuinely think makes it well worth its price tag. I am so sad to have used it all up but I'm sure that I will be replenishing on it at some point.

14. Origins Original Skin Retexturizing Mask with Rose Clay: I liked this mask ok - my skin felt very silky and smooth when I'd go to wash it off. That being said it's a little drying for me and felt tight on my skin as it was drying.

15.Dove refreshing cucumber & green tea Nourishing Body Wash: This is a great hydrating body wash and I love to use it for shaving my legs and pits.

16. Secret Lavender 48 HR Invisible Solid: Honestly this is my favorite deodorant at the drugstore - not necessarily this exact scent, - but I've been using Secret for years without any issue. It's always gentle to my pit skin while keeping me fresh and dry.

17. Softsoap Lavender & Shea Moisturizing Hand Soap: This soap has such an odd scent where it's neither obviously lavender or Shea but smells like a fresh bathroom. It does a nice job of keeping my hands clean. My main beef is that the straw section of the dispenser doesn't reach all the way to the bottom so even though I put a little water in there to help the soap get a bit more loose I still can't get it all out of the packaging which is annoying.

18. LUSH Mint Julips Lip Scrub: While this did a good job of physically scrubbing my lips I think that, because it had menthol in it, my lips were ultimately left drier after having used this. Unfortunately it decided to take a tumble into the toilet so we're parting ways.

19. Trader Joe's Pumpkin Overnight Face Mask: This mask is a very nice, lightweight, refreshing, lightly hydrating sleeping mask. I felt like it really helped seal the rest of my skincare in and it left my skin feeling very soft and smooth. I enjoyed it while I had it.

 

20. Trader Joe's Oatmeal & Honey Soap: I absolutely love this soap, it's gentle and does a great job of leaving and keeping my skin soft.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
