I'm proud of myself this month! It started out not too bad, but then around mid-month I decided to sprint and finish a little more that the last few months. And I finished 16 things! Yay!

White Barn Watermelon Lemonade: I bought this one last Spring, but it seems to be back this year. I like how it smells when it is not ligthed, but when it burns, after a while, it's not as good. I think the wax was very poor quality on this one, for this reason, but also because it is really sooty. Is it me or BBW candles are not what they used to be?

BBW Bourbon Butterscotch: Another BBW candle. This one was not too bad, but it is really sweet! I think maybe the smaller candles are better now? Not sure, it seems to be hit and miss at BBW!

Butter London Ruby Murray Moisture Matte Lipstick: This was a creamy matte. A deep red, I would be tempted to try the other colours though.

So Me Body Hair Removal Cream: I got this for about 2euros when I was in Paris and it is the best hair removal cream I've tried. 

Klorane Dry Shampoo with Nettle Extract: I really like Klorane Dry Shampoos. Well, the regular version at least. It was the first time I tried the one for oily hair, but I was not impressed. Will stick to the original version next time.

Nivea invisible for Black & White: Not all Nivea deodorants were created equals. For the most parts, they're good though. This one is too, and it has a fresh scent. Again, I bought this one in France, and I think we don't have them in sprays here. I'm not a fan of sprays, not good for the environments, but then I didn't want a roll-on one.

Aesop Purifying Cream Cleanser: This product is good, but the smell is so awful! I think it smelled like tequila or some alcohol like that, but I'm not sure. When I smell the sachet now, it only smells like clay and lavender, because of course alcohol tends to evaporates quickly so the smell is gone.

Marcelle Eye Makeup Remover Cloths: I forgot I had those! I'm not a wipe girl, so this was pushed at the back of the cupboard. They are ok, the siez is just perfect for the eyes. But I rather remove my eye makeup with The Body Shop Cleansing Oil.

What about the product you finished recently? Anything to pass? Or. better still, so good ones?

I have a 2-in-1 post for you today! The first picture are the empties I got in Paris. I didn't bring them back with me, it would have been silly! But I took a picture so I can report on them.

The second one is a mix of September Empties, that were still in my closet when I left and the rest of this month's empties.

BBW Pumpkin Spice Latte Foaming Soap: I love BBW Foaming Soaps. The pump squirt a good amount and then it leaves a nice scent on your hands. This one might be too sweet for some though.

No7 Protect & Perfect Day Cream: I liked this cream, not greasy but luxurious! And the scent is really particular to it, reminds me of good memories!

Maybelline Dream Nude Airfoam Foundation: I got mine in Natural Beige, and I talked about it in a Favourites post. I think it's actually the first time I finish a foundation. I've chucked some in the past but finishing, that's the first time. I like it, but it's quite messy!

Biosilk Silk Therapy Serum: I've been using this since I'm 17 and even though I try to replace it with other options as it contains silicons, nothing beats it. I used to have backups if this because it was not always available where I was, hence the old bottle. I don't have one now, so I'll wait and see!

Vichy Corrector in 14 Nude: I can't recall the name of this one, and on the website the only corrector is not fitting. I liked it though, this sample lasted ages and the colour was perfect for my imperfections. I think I still have samples of this in the other shades.

Estée Lauder Double Wear in Outdoor Beige: The product was good, but the colour was too dark for me! Usually the shades in the samples are pretty close to my complexion but this one was too dark, so I had to mix it to use it.

Dove Soaps: As you can see, I usually use a variety of Dove soaps. I know they're not the most natural out there, and the dyes in it are terrible (I saw it transfer on another soap in my soap box in Europe). But it doesn't live me with a greasy film and that's what matters to me.

Synergen Day & Night Cream: This is a cream I got in Germany. The product in itself is good for oily skin, it is fresh and not greasy. The only thing is that the scent, even though it is good, is overpowering. Must not be good for the skin!

BBW Pumpkin Caramel Latte: This is the candle I had on my desk in Europe and all my coworkers were alwys commenting on it when I was burning it. One even came in my office just to smell it!

Garancia Que mes rougeurs disparaissent Serum: I've seen Garancia products when I was in France, but this is the first time I try one. I liked the feeling of this serum, which is more like a cream to me. The scent was nice. I couldn't really see a difference on my redness though, but I think it deals more with rosacea than spots redness.

So for September I finished 7 products, and in December, 16. Not bad. Here's to a good Empties 2015 :P

Woaaah! It has been a crazy day! Some good bits, and some bads, but now  I need to unwind. So I went to buy a scratchcard (ere we call them gratteux) and I won 10$! So now it's all good.

I also did good on the empties front in April, I finished 16. So that covers all that I bought. That's how I justify myself. I know May will be a big month purchase wise because I'm heading to Quebec City on Sunday. I hope empties will be on par hahaha!

Tesco Every Day Value Cotton Wool Pads: I got those when I was in London back in August.As the name states, I bought it in Tesco (grocery store) after hearing Anna Saccone that she liked them. They were about 50p each pack and I loved them. I might grab more next time I'm in the UK. They're not the thickest ones, but they are pretty good!

MUA Lash Boom Mascara: I also picked this in London. I didn't used it until recently and I feel that the product disapeared just out of the blue! And it's not like it has dried, because I definitely feel that the tube is light and empty! Other than that, I liked using it, I like the wand that has a ball at the tip and the formula was good. 

Clinique High Impact Mascara: I've had countless sample tubes like this one and I love the product. It performs on both the length and volume front. A good all-rounder!

Eurospa Invigorating Foot Scrubg in Walnut: Those are the little packets you can buy at Dollarama. The scrub is good, even though I would like a coarser one for my feet. The sachet packaging is not the most convenient for a scrub.

Bath and Body Works Candles: Vanilla Bena Noel, Mint Buttercream: Both are similar, a sweet minty scent. The Buttercream one was creamier and my favourite. The only thing I have to say about them is it seems that this year's BBW Christmas candle are sooty. I don't usually have this problem bothering me because I wipe down the soot when I notice it but those seem to just soot their life away!

Have a good May!

I really wanted to finish more this month, and I almost finish 3-4 other products, but somehow I guess they will be done in March. I hope in March I will finish 15 or more products, as in the last months I haven't finished a lot and I feel bad about it!

I finished a few candles in February. Among them was the Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin from Bath and Body Works. It's not a bad one, but a little too spicy for my liking.

Also there is a Loblaws Candy Cane Truffle Candle. I've already mentionned that the Loblaws candles were hit or miss. This one is a miss, I didn't really smell anything when it was lit. :(

I usually love Glade candles, but it seems that their Christmas candles were too "subtle". Is it because I am not used to BBW's and am a candle snob? I hope not!

Avon Tranquil Moments Soap: I remember this soap from when I was young! My aunt gave this to me, and I thought the packaging looked old, but I didn't realised how old it was. Apparently the soap from the line is not sold anymore, but they still have shower gel and things. The soap was still good though!

Paul Mitchell Strength Super Strong Daily Conditioner: As I've said before, I wash my hair twice a weel, so I cannot say anything about the daily part. It was a good conditionner, but seeing that it is a salon and pricy one, I would opt for regular drugstore ones.

Organix Revitalizing Pomegranate Green Tea Anti-Frizz Serum: For years I have been using Biosilk Silk Cure and was loving it. But then I decided to try this one because it smells good. But the product is awful! Sometimes it's going to work ok, but the next time it will leaving my hair greasy, even thouh I used the same amount. You just never know how it will turn out! I should've just chuck the thing a while back but then I wanted to finish it and was over zealous!

And what about you ladies? What products have you finally finished in February?

I haven't been able to finish a lot of products in January, and most of them are boring ones I confess. Still, there is something therapeutic in putting the empties in a bucket and write about them every month.

Ivy & Castle Cherry Blossom & Almond Foaming Hand Wash: We're still in love with the Ivy & Castle Soaps, but we decided to try thi one for good measure. And it's the new family favourite! To me it smells more like almond than cherry blossom, which makes it less floral and more sweet!

Clean & Clear Finishes Pore Perfect Moisturizer: I can't say I noticed a big difference on the pore front, but this is me just not taking the time to notice it. But I loved how lightweight it was, the fact it has SPF 15 and the clean scent. It has been discontinued, unfortunately, but if you come across it on clearance, give it a go!

Bath & Body Works Pink Chiffon PocketBac: I love PocketBacs! They leave a great scent and they don't leave a nasty residue like some other sanitizers. Working in a retail environment and doing cash, I need those! But I think that this particular bottle was weird, it dispensed way more than the others I have used in the past. Result, it was gone with the speed of light!

Have you got any good products you finished in January?
