September Empties

EMPTIES

• Nars Climax Mascara 3mL ($17.00) - This has been open for three months now so it's really starting to dry out and I just don't like the way it's making my lashes look anymore. I'm also worried about eye irritation so this just really has to go. I liked this mascara, but I don't know if I'd repurchase it, it's cheaper than Better Than Sex, but I also don't like it as much. I didn't have any issues with flaking with this mascara though which was great. 
• Smashbox Photo Finish Primerizer 15mL ($22.00) - I really like this primer, whenever I wear it I feel like I have a really great skin day. I love the boost of hydration it gives to my skin and it just feels nice to apply because it's so thin. I would buy this again, but I would go for the travel size again over the full size because it's better value, also this just isn't worth over $60. This little bottle lasted me months so I'm happy to keep using it in the future. 
• Beauty Care Co Makeup Remover Pads 100 Pack ($1.00) - These aren't the best, they fall apart really easily so I go through a lot. I don't mind using these for face charts and swatches though so I usually have some around.
• Ralph Lauren Big Pony #2 Eau De Toilette 100mL ($130.00) - I like this scent, but I'm really sick of it after using this pretty much everyday for the past year. This doesn't last on me at all so it felt really pointless and it just felt like a waste of money. I really wanted this perfume a few years ago and ended up getting two bottles for Christmas, and sadly it hasn't lived up to my expectations. I wouldn't buy this again, and definitely not at full price. 
• Lime Crime Bushy Brow Gel 'Clear' ($38.00) - I really like this brow gel, it's probably the strongest I've ever tried, but it's really expensive for how little product you get (3.5mL), especially when you consider that I used to wear clear brow gel everyday even if I wasn't wearing any other makeup. I love the skinny spoolie on this and that's what I would repurchase this for, because even though I love the gel itself, it's still not strong enough for my brows because they're quite long and full. It holds most for of the day, but I will end up with a couple of stragglers. Since I've started doing soap brows on clients I've become really addicted to doing them on myself and I would much rather just use a cheap bar of soap to fluff up my brows and have it last years than go through a brow gel every month if I use it every day. 
• Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Sage, and Orange Blossom ($11.00) - I liked this spray, the scent reminded me of my grandma's garden and I think it was my favourite out of the range. I use this mainly to re-hydrate my sponge because I don't find that it really does anything for my skin. I use it as a facial spray sometimes if I want something soothing, but I don't find it very hydrating. I don't think I'd repurchase this again, but I do use it if I happen to have it. 
• Pretty Serious Cosmetics Nail Polish 'Claris' ($8.00) - I really loved this polish, it's the perfect light warm pink and has gold glitter in it, it's really pretty. This company went out of business last year so I can't repurchase this and I'm really gonna miss it. It was a real pain to remove, but I loved the colour that much that I really didn't mind. There's still some product left in the bottle, but it's not usable. It's really thick now and I can barely reach it with the brush so it's just time to call it quits.
