EMPTIES

JULY 2020

• Cutex Nourishing Nail Polish Remover 100mL ($4.80) - I like this and would repurchase it, it removes my nail polish easily and doesn't seem to damage my nails. The bottle I've moved on to is from Sally Hansen so we'll see if there's much of a difference between them.
• Fenty Beauty Fly Liner in Cuz I'm Black 0.2mL (SAMPLE) - I hated this. It dried up after one use, which I guess makes sense because this is only a sample size but like, really!? The felt tip just doesn't work for me, I feel like I don't have any control over it and it's actually really difficult to get product out and applied evenly. I'm just going to keep buying my NYX Epic Ink Liner because this just showed me that felt tips aren't the move for me. 
• Alpha-H Micro Cleanse Super Scrub 30mL (SAMPLE) - I really liked this exfoliator and I think would definitely buy this in the future. It's $50 for 100mL and the 30mL lasted me well over six months so I think it's definitely worth it. This wasn't too rough for my sensitive skin and I love how it's a mix of a chemical and physical exfoliator. It leaves my skin feeling so soft and has really helped even out my skin texture too! 
• Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation in 010 Light Porcelain ($18.95) - I love this foundation, I've been using it for nearly four years now and it's never done me wrong. It lasts beautifully on my skin and I love that it's just sheer enough to look like skin and let my freckles peek through, but has enough coverage to hide my redness. When this wears away it fades it doesn't crack or crease, but it can settle into lines. I love that this has a natural finish too, it's not too dewy or too matte. Really my only issue with it is that the colour is slightly too dark for me and that the shade range is very small for this foundation. 
• Mario Badescu Facial Spray With Aloe, Cucumber, And Green Tea 118mL ($11.00) - I know this doesn't do anything really but I just like using it. I use this to re-hydrate my sponge, meld powder into my skin, finish off my makeup to give it a dewy look, and calm my skin if it's feeling a bit irritated. This isn't something I'm going to instantly repurchase, but if I'm trying to reach free shipping or something I'll chuck one of these in the cart because I know I'll use it.
• Swisspers Cotton Tips 240pk ($3.75) - I like the size of these and they come in handy for just about everything so I'll continue to buy them. 
• Stila Iridescent Glitter & Glow Liquid Shadow Mini Trio ($36.00) - This was a birthday present last year but I didn't end up using these as much as I thought I would. The shades in this set were Embellish, Dollish, and Stylish, and they're all very neutral. Stylish was a champagne gold topper shade, Embellish was a rose gold taupe topper shade, and Dollish was a more opaque coral colour with a strong gold glitter. They just weren't colours I really gravitate towards so I never used them. Stylish and Embellish dried out but Dollish is still usable, but I know I won't use it so I'm deciding to call this empty. I wouldn't repurchase these shades or the minis again because they dried out too quickly for me. My favourite Glitter & Glow shades are the duochrome toppers, like Deception. 
• Swisspers Make Up Pads 80 Pack ($3.99) - I liked these, they didn't fall apart on me and held a lot of makeup remover so I feel like I used less of these than I do with other brands. 

Total value of products used up: $78.50
