December 2023 Empties

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

1. ProBeauty Essentials Glam Wispies in Belle of the Ball x3: These are really pretty, large, fluttery, wispy lashes. My only issue with them is that the bands are thin to the point of being flimsy so when I pick lash glue off them at the end of the day they're easy to break if I'm not being careful with them.

 

2. Dove restoring coconut & cocoa butters body wash: This is a nicely hydrating body wash that I like to use for shaving my legs - it produces a nice lather and glide for my razor and leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth.

3. Body Prescriptions Good Things Are Coming Coconut exfoliating body scrub: This is a really yummy, coconut scented body scrub, my only gripe is that I wish it were a sugar, rather than a salt, scrub because using it prior to shaving made my skin sting a bit. Additionally, this foams up a lot, I didn't find that a minus but I think it's worth mentioning.

4. berkley jensen Scented baby wipes in Refreshing Green Tea & Cucumber: I really like these baby wipes for wiping down surfaces, especially for my makeup collection, and to remove swatches when I take blog photos. They smell really nice.

5. Yankee Candle Home Inspiration Seashore Breeze: This candle smells really refreshing and as its name implies, has this breeze scent that I really enjoy. I'm sad to have burned through it. That said, I found that it didn't melt as evenly as I would have liked, I found that it canyoned a slight bit. 

6. L'Oreal True Match Lumi Healthy Luminous Makeup: Honestly I found myself really disappointed with the repackaged version of this foundation. When it was in the packaging with the silver pump this was, by far, my holy grail foundation - it was lightweight, had great buildable coverage, a dewy finish, and the shade matched me really well. Now, it does have most of those qualities but the shade range no longer has a good match for me, I found the neutral ivory shade too orange. Additionally, I hate the packaging because it doesn't twist off, I feel like there's still foundation on the sides of the bottle that I cannot get to so it feels like I'm wasting money. 

7. Equate Exotic Rose Shea Sugar Scrub: I decided to pick this up to try it out and see how I like it. Truthfully, I'm really enjoying this scrub, it's just as scrubby and abrasive as I personally prefer and smells nice. 

8. Blue Cross Cuticle Remover: I'm so sad that this bottle is now gone. This was a really good, gentle cuticle remover. Because the bottle of this is so large it lasted me forever.

9. Flower Knows Moonlight Mermaid Series Setting Powder in 02 Fair Beige: I'm genuinely so sad that this is now gone. It was a very lovely setting powder that looked really smooth on my skin. That said, it did crease under my eyes a bit but other than that I loved it. The packaging is gorgeous and I'll be keeping this to use as a compact mirror in the future.
