September 2024 Empties

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

1. Equate Juicy Citrus Shea Sugar Scrub: I really like that these scrubs are gritty without being overly abrasive and are at an affordable price point. This is one of my favorite scents in the line - I feel like it smells something like citrus but also like passionfruit. I really enjoy it!

2. PURITO PLAINET SQUALANE OIL 100: As always I'm sad to run out of my squalane because I love how it has anti-inflammatory properties, reduces the redness in my skin, and leaves my skin really soft and smooth. I did get a backup so I wouldn't have to be without it.

3. Rare Beauty Kind Words Matte Lipstick in Lively: This lipstick has a pretty caramel tone to it which I thought was a perfect color to transition from summer into fall. The formula is pigmented, full-coverage, and very comfortable to wear. It feels smooth, lightweight, and not dry at all. 

4. Ardell Original Demi Wispies: I love that these lashes are very easy to work with, glue close to the lash-line, and are very natural-looking. In fact I wish all lashes had lash bands like the ones on these because they make it so easy to glue these lashes on without them popping off anywhere the way that thick lash bands tend to do. My only issue is that if I take a nap and have these lashes on, they tend to bend easily and never go back to their original shape. 

5.  Pure Smile Snail Lip Treatment Honey: I'm so sad to have run out of this lip balm - it was very hydrating and helped soothe any lip irratation to the point where it even helped cold sores heal faster.

6. Bath & Body Works Sunlit Palm Trees Hand Sanitizer: This has a yummy sort of musky mango scent to it, it's almost a bit sporty in a masculine way but is balanced out by the fruitiness of the mango.

7. Rare Beauty Kind Words Matte Lipstick in Gifted: Frankly I thought this lipstick was going to be too brown to work on me but it has just enough red in it to make the formula pull rosy rather than like poop on me. The formula is pigmented, full-coverage, and very comfortable to wear. It feels smooth, lightweight, and not dry at all.

8. matrix Food For Soft detangling hydrating conditioner: This conditioner smells absolutely delicious and I am sad to have run out of it. In addition to smelling fantastic, this added hydration and shine to my hair.

9. Equate Coconut Lime Shea Sugar Scrub: I really like that these scrubs are gritty without being overly abrasive and are at an affordable price point. This smells exactly as its name suggests. I like that the scent is sweet and tropical but isn't heavy at all.

10.Clean Beauty Smoke & Mirrors 6 Pairs of Reusable Lashes with Lash Glue (top pair): These are a pretty, fluffy wispy lash that have a full, fluttery look. I was actually surprised that these lashes are fairly easy to use and have a lash band that bends to the eye. That said, they did like popping off at the inner corners of my eyes.

11. berkley jensen Scented baby wipes in Green Tea & Cucumber: As mentioned in my previous posts - I use these wipes to wipe down surfaces, to wipe down my makeup collection, and to remove swatches from my hands/arms as necessary. I really enjoy the way these smell as well.

Disclaimer: I purchased all of the products mentioned above with the exception of the Rare Beauty Kind Words Matte Lipstick product, which was provided as a sample and the matrix conditioner which was a gift from a friend. All opinions are my own.
