February Empties

EMPTIES

• Swisspers Cotton Tips 240 Pack ($3.75) - I like these, they don't fall apart on me and work well to remove nail polish or makeup smudges. I like buying this size because it fits nicely in my drawers but the larger packs are better value.
• John Frieda Frizz Ease Dream Curls Shampoo 250mL ($15.99) - I still like this shampoo, but my hair is going through something at the moment and just isn't curling the way it used to. I'm not sure what has changed in my routine other than that I sometimes use a different shampoo than this, but I don't know if that would've caused it either. I'm going to use up what I have of the other shampoo and go back to using this, but maybe my hair needs a change of products too. 
• The Body Shop Pink Grapefruit Hand Cream 30mL ($7.00) - I don't really like this, The Body Shop aren't a company I like to support and I just don't think this is a very good hand cream. It's very greasy and doesn't really hydrate, I like the scent but that's about it. I also hate the packaging, it gets slippery after you've applied product and the corners of the tube are sharp and will stab you if you hold it wrong. 
• Carmex Classic Moisturising Lip Balm 7.5g ($5.99) - This is still my favourite lip balm, I'm always going to repurchase this, I just have other lip balms in my collection I need to use up before I buy another Carmex. 
• Neutrogena Makeup Remove Night Calming Cleansing Towelettes 25 Pack ($7.99) - These are still my preferred makeup wipe, but I would like to switch to using cleansing balms because they're less wasteful. If I use these too often they do cause skin irritation so I try not to use these excessively anyway. 
• Cover FX Blurring Primer 1mL (SAMPLE) - I didn't like this, it did blur my pores but foundation didn't want to sit nicely on top of it, it sort of balled up and made my skin look chunky and gross (especially on my nose). I had a really hard time layering products over this primer. The texture of this was similar to NYX Pore Filler but thicker, and I know Pore Filler works for me so I'd rather just keep using it. 
• Essence Shine Shine Shine Wet Look Lip Gloss in Behind the Scenes ($4.10) - I really like this gloss, it's super shiny, it's thick but not sticky, and it's really comfortable. I don't love the scent, but I don't hate it either. This is a good cheap, cruelty free gloss that I would repurchase. I love having a clear gloss in my collection and with this gone I won't have any which is a little sad.
• Keune Style Curl Cream 200mL ($27.00) - I really love this, I just wish it held a little better because after two days I lose a lot of the definition. I do love how this makes my hair look and it doesn't make my hair stiff at all, it's a great curl cream.
• Cutex Strengthening Nail Polish Remover 100mL ($4.99) - This is my favourite nail polish remover at the moment because it doesn't strip my nails and make them feel weak. It also lasts a really long time so I'm happy to keep repurchasing it. 

Total value of products used up: $76.85
