And here are my Empties for June and July!

I didn't post the June ones, because frankly it is quite boring, it's just some soap bars and two other things. Here they are:



Yankee Strawberry Buttercream Candle:  I liked the scent of the small one, so when I passed an order I grabbed this, and they were saying it would be discontinued (It's not, it's now an online exclusive). Well, I think in a big jar it's too sickly sweet. And it didn't burn properly, the wick is now gone, but I have lots of wax left.

L'Oréal Féria Conditionner: I got this from my home dye. I liked the scent, it reminds me of banana pudding I had when I was young. The conditionner is good.

Total for June: 7 (oh well)



And now for July, I am quite chuffed! In addition of soap bars, I got:

Nivea Sheer Comfort in Jasmine: This smells nice, but the product is rubbish. I find that Nivea deodorants can be hit or miss. Unfortunately this one is a miss.

Soft-soap Sweet Honeysuckle & Orange Peel Body Wash: This was a gift, it's normally not a scent I would get for myself, but it was nice. As a shower gel, it is nice as well, not much to be said about that! I would not repurchase because I was tons to finish now and the scent is ok, but not my favourite.

Nutrisse Intense Nourishing Intense Colour in LB2: So I continued my blonde ombré! I should post a pic, because it's way different than my natural colour, I'm surprised every time I look at old pics! Now I think I went overboard though because my hair lacks brilliance :( But I got a few backups of this dye.

Batiste Dry Shampoo Original: This was a gift, because I would never purchase the Original for myself. The other ones are way better, I don't know why people go crazy over the Original Batiste.

Collection 16 Hour Lasting Perfection Concealer: I got the shade Medium 3. They changed the packaging a bit and maybe the colour names. I loved this! This product is rightly raved about. Unfortunately it is not sold in Canada, but when I go back in the UK, I will stock up!

Sephora + Pantone Universe Black Magic Eyeliner in Raven: These are my all time favourite eyeliner for my water line. Unfortunately, they were limited edition and I only have one left :( Bring it back!!!!

Marcelle Xtension Plus Mascara: This is a good mascara, the wand is not too big like most nowadays and it's a great one to lengthen and it goes well in a combo with a volominous one. I think I still have a tube of that one somewhere.
Cover Girl Bombshell Volume: This is what I'm talking about when I say big wands. This is just to big, I poked my eyes every time I used it. I could only use the first part because on the second one the wand is rubbish and doesn't pick any product. Big fail!

The Little Alchemist Papaya Cleansing Milk: Even though the name is papaya, this smells heavenly like lemon. I got this sample from Julie when I ordered from her shop, the Green Jungle. Now I want to order this, and it is always sold out!

St. Ives Apricot Scrub: This has been a staple in my skincare regime since high school. This particular tube is old though, they changed the packaging. I would repurchase it, but right now I have other facial exfoliants, but also I am looking into cleaner and less harsh alternatives.

Willow & Bloom Avocado Olive Hand Wash: This is from Dollarama and is a good soap. The scent is not what I would choose (my dad did) but is nice in the kitchen. We repurchased, but in Lavender!

Total for July: 16

Have you finished a lot of products these past months?

There it is. April was pretty much boring, as Ididn't have a lot of full size products, and those were toilettries.

SpaSoap Aloe & Chamomile: We have been using this hand soap for a while now, it is a good Dollarama dupe for SoftSoap.

Head & Shoulders Refresh Shampoo: I've been struggling to find a shampoo that I like lately, this one was good, but it is for men, and I'd like something a little more feminine.

Bioré Charcoal Nose Strip: I've never been impressed by the original Bioré strips, but I liked this sample so much that I bought a pack. It is fascinating in a gross way to see the gunk come out of the pores!

Aesop Mandarin Facial Hydrating Cream: I like the smell of this so much! If I'd be able to purchase Aesop easily this would be on my wishlist.

TRESemmé Keratin Smooth 60 Second Treatment Shot: I used this while I still had long hair, and it lasted for about three shampoos. It smells nice, but I would rather use the VO5 Hot Oil thingies, if that still exists.

My total of Empties for April is 10. Can do better!

As for May, I thought I'd do better, but there are a few products I wasn't able to finish on time.

L'Oréal Féria Wild Ombré in 060: Yes, I diyed my hair! I first did it at the salon, but as I wanted an ombré effect and didn't have it I bought this box on clearance at Maxi and did it myself. I'm satisfied of the result. I'm not used with boxed dyes, especially the ones that bleach but I liked this one.

N-Spa Indulgent Hot Butter Fudge Body Polish: This was promising, but I don't know why most sugary products like this one smell like medicine? It was a nice polish though, but the package is not convenient, it lets too much water in when in the shower. On top of that the hinges are annoying.

Bath & Body Works Sugar Plum Dream PocketBac: I like PocketBacs, and I liked this one because it reminded me of the Britney Spears perfume Midnight Fantasy, that I used to have.

EOS Shave Cream: I now sometimes shave my legs. I used not to, as I was using Veet cream and the likes, but sometimes now I need to free the bathroom as I'm not alone. I know a lot of people said they didn't like this shaving cream, but I did. I might be tempted to buy the full size.

A total of 9 Empties, one soap wraps not being pictured.

I hoped to finish more in June, but a week in I don't have a lot to show up for so far!

  
TRESemmé Climate Protection Shampoo: This was a good shampoo, but someone diluted it here and since then, it has not been the same. The bottle is huge and even though it's a good quality price thing, I'd rather have smaller bottles, as I get tired quickly.

Collin Body Hydrating Cream: My mum used most of it, but I finished it so it goes in this post! It was a nice light body cream.

Suave Candy Apple Luscious Body Wash: Same thing here. This bottle laste me 1 year! (Granted I use other soap and wash on the side). The scent was fun, but the product might be drying for certain skin type.

Bio-Oil: Another product that both my mum and I used. I used it on my acne scars. It's not too bad, but I prefer my Pai Rosehip Oil. Granted it's more expensive, but it's more efficient and natural!

Kim Kardashian Perfume: I received this in a box and although it is not the kind of scent I'm drawn to (too spicy) I grew to  like it. My father also liked it, and he's a perfume aficionado!



This brings the total to 11 empties, which is great because that's the amount of products I bought this month.

July has been a good empties month. I finished 20 products, and considering I only bought about 6 things, I'm proud of myself. I will go in London in a few weeks and I know I will buy a lot, so it was important for me not to go overboard before that.


Softsoap Vanilla Brown Sugar: I have bought a few bottles of this over the years, I like the scent, it's sweet and creamy.

Eslor Comfort Mask: I received this, along with a few other samples from this brand in a Luxe Box. I love the mask, it is clay based and i thas a scent that reminds me of my trips to Mexico. I cannot pinpoint what it is, but I would purchase the full size, not now but I keep this in mind.

Eslor Soothing Refiner & Cleanser:  I also liked th e cleanser. I wouldn't repurchase, because I don't think it is as special as the mask though.

Comodynes Micellar Cleanser Towelettes: I like this wipe, it was smelling fresh and did a good job.

3D White Whitestrips Whitening Treatment: I have tried a sample of this in the past and I received a few in my last Luxe Box. I think it is efficient at whitening, I application is enought to see results. The only problem is that it causes sensitivity.

Nair Hair Removal 3 in 1 Lotion: This is probably the one hair removal lotion that we buy most often. As I said in previous empties posts, I rarely have problems with removal creams, so I buy whatever is on  special when I need it. I know last month I had an empty hair removal bottle, it's not that this one was new, but my dad bought another one, so this one was almost empty already.


Sally Hansen Salon Effect Real Nail Polish Strips: I'm not a fan of these, as I'm not a fan of nail stripes or stickers in general. I think I would like the idea, but never came across ones that I liked. You can see those in my posts Sally Hansen Duo and Minty Houndstooth.

IKEA Yrsno Candle: I've  had this one for a long time. I didn't want to use it too quickly, as I don't have an IKEA nearby and that it was a Christmas candle a few years ago. It doesn't smell a lot where you burn it, but the fragrance tavels. For example, when I lit it in my bedroom, I've noticed that the scent was in fact downstairs, just below. I've talked about it in my Bedside Beauties and Holiday Candles posts.

Do you have any products that you're glad you finishhed in July?
