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.

You get two for one today on my empties. I didn't get the opportunity to feature my February ones, but I didn't want to just throw them away because I worked hard on finishing them!

February

February Body  Empties

Duh! Look at the state of the Joe Fresh Sponge! I usually don't like the ones like that, I prefer mesh ones.

Lipsy London Body Butter: Got this for a gift set from Boots ans I really like it. If I stumble across more Lipsy beauty product I will repurchase taht again.

Como Shambhala Invigorate Lotion: I know it says invigorate, but I used this before going to bed and it helped soothes me. I might repurchase

Skincare

LeBelle Natural Skincare Cream Cleanser*: I liked to use this in the Winter time. Read my review for in depth details.

Makeup

Chanel Perfection Lumiere Long-Wear Flawless Fluid Makeup in 30 Beige: I liked this one, but unless most foundation sample, this one was far from matching my complexion, so I had to use it with my own. The one I used had FPS 10, which is different than the one on the website (FPS15)

Clinique Full Potential Lips Plump and Shine in Blackberry Bloom and Luscious Lilac: Both are great shades, when I first got this I never thought I would actually use the darker shade (Blackberry Bloom). It was actually part of my favourite lip combo in February! And now it seems to be discountinued :( Typical

Samples

Joe Fresh Grapefruit Glycerin Soap: This was fruity and nice. Unlike the body sponge, I would recommend it, but is doesn't seem to exists anymore.

SPAressource Coconut Lime Body Lotion: You can never go wrong with a SPAressource body butter, they smells divine, apply easily and sinks in fast.

Candles

I decided to include candles from now on, because I buy so many and I need to use them before going on a spree (this doesn't include Bath and Body Works when I go to Quebec City)

The White Barn Brandied Pear: This came out for Christmas. I smells exactly like you would expect, slightly more on the brandy side than the pear on. I wasn'T a fan of this while it burns, because it was too alcoholy. It actually made me feel hangover! Not good!



Total of empties for February: 34

March:

March Body Empties

Ivy and Castle White Tea and Citrus Foaming Hand Wash: If your Dollarama stockes this, grab a few bottles. This smells divine! We got a few bottles at home because we never know when (and which store) is going to carry it. Similar to the Bath and Body Works foaming hand soap.

Ombra Spa SOS Hand Care Cream: This was our home staple this winter. A good hand cream that isn't just a greasy goop. Guess what? It's made in Germany! Germans have the best products I'm telling you!

Makeup and Perfumes

UNE Skin-Glow Foundation in G08: This foundation is the worst I've ever come across. It's greasy it's patchy, it clings to everything on the skin. Terrible, just terrible! It was also the reason of my biggest and latest acne breakout. Yep, sometimes being zealous and wanting to finish a nightmare of a product is not a good thing. So I didn't finish it. And I will certainly not repurchase!

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector Combination to Oily Skin in Light: This one was good for oily skin. Now I don't remember how the normal version was, but I think it was just meh for me. This one is better. I would not use the light one anymore thought, as even in the winter it is slightly too pale for me!

Samples

And I don't have much to say about the samples, unless that I liked the Eucerin Hyal-Urea creams. Urea is a good thing. Just do not think about what it actually is!

Total of empties for March: 19

What about your fav/worst products of the last couple months? Tell me!

I know it's almost time to do the March Empties, but since I hadn't got the opportunity yet to talk about the first 2 months of the year, I will do it now. I always try to use what I have started first and writing posts about it motivates me even more. So I am now sharing with you January and February's Empties:

Clockwise:

Unknown Brand Face Wipes: I am not a big fan of face wipes, but I always seem to receive them to test. I know it is not really useful to you as I don't know which brand it is but I include them in the empties because it feels good to finish a product anyway! Those were not exceptional, nothing to write home about.

Repurchase: Even if I knew the brand, I wouldn't. Plain ordinary wipes.

Baptiste Original Dry Shampoo: This is the first dry shampoo I tried (back a few months ago). It is alright, the scent is nice, but having tested a few other since, I feel this one leaves a bigger cast than the others.

Repurchase: No, I prefer the Klorane one.

L'Occitane Fleur Chérie Hand Cream: I got this purse sized hand cream in Marie Claire last year. I really liked the smell, so I tried to make it last, as I thought it was limited edition. I like L'Occitane products, and this one as well. At first, I thought the cream was too rich to put during daytime, but I realized that even though it is, it doesn't take forever to sink in.

Repurchase: Yes, I like how moisturizing it is and the smell too.

Cien Deo Sensitive: I don't really have sensitive skin, so I cannot really testify for this claim. I bought this because the scent is fresh yet sophisticated, But unfortunately, I didn't like the deodorant. I'm usually picky about them, so I don't really know why I bought one at Lidl. Probably because the other products from the brands that I have tried were good. But I guess for this one you get what you pay for. It might be good for someone who doesn't perpire a lot, but I'm not lucky like them!

Repurchase: No, it didn't "protect" me enough.

Nivea Happy Time Bamboo Milk & Orange Blossom Cream Shower: I always think it is hard to review a shower gel. What is there to talk about except smell and lather? This one did the job alright, I don't have anything particular to say about it.

Repurchase: No, I still have a few shower gel bottles to finish.

L'Oréal Studio Secrets Professional Magic Perfecting Base: This is an ok product, but I would've like it to make my makeup stay for longer. I think that for the price, it should do more.

Repurchase: No, for the price, I prefer Mememe Seventh Heaven Face Base

Chap Ice Leashables Tropical Lip Balm: I'm not sure why this is called Tropical, as it smells like vanilla to me. It smells good, it does well, the only thing I don't like is the texture. Too hard and waxy for me. I prefer lip balm that melts and are easy to apply.

Repurchase: No, too hard.

Benefit Ring my Bella Perfume: I was glad when I have been given a sample of this perfume. This is the type of smell that I like: fresh and fruity. If you like the Escada perfumes, you should like this one (and it's not limited to a season, thus easier to find)!

Repurchase: Even though I really like this perfume, I wouldn't purchase it because I have a few Escada perfumes that are too similar, so I will use them instead of buying more.

Avon Astonishing Lengths Mascara: I think this mascara has a misleading name as I think it was more volumizing than lengthening. But it was fine by me, as I prefer giving my lashes volume instead of length. I also liked that it was a liquidy mascara.

Repurchase: I would, as I liked it, but for now I have other mascaras to finish, that are similarly good.

Clearasil Ultra All in 1 Wash and Mask: Well, I received this sample as part of their big "skincare mystery", so when I tried it I didn't know for sure it was Clearasil. The product is ok, but it reminds me a lot of the Neutrogena Visibly Clear 2 in 1 Wash and Mask. They both had the same smell, consistency and blueish colour. They are both ok products, but I'm not a fan of 2 in 1 products.

Repurchase: No, I don't like a mask that stays wet on the face.

Nair Ultra Hair Removal Cream: I go through a lot of those hair removal cream in the winter as I can't be bothered to use my epilator on long hair. Nair is one of my favourite brand for those cream and I used this one type a lot. Cannot fault it except for the smell, but then again all depilatory creams stink.

Repurchase: Yes.

How about you? Are you doing well on the Empties front?
