Ms Bubu and Her Girlyness: March Empties

Latest Empties

beauty 16:00:00

Even though I haven't posted an updated Empties post in a few months, I still collected my products as usual. Before I have another month's worth of empties, I better now show you what I finished in the past few months!

BBW Purr Fect Potion Gentle Foaming Hand Soap: I love Bath & Body Works Foaming Hand soaps, this one was good for Autumn, as it has Cinnamon Spice in it. It is not too spicy though, as it also contains vanilla. I will keep the container for next Halloween!

La Coupe Moisture Refresh Dry Shampoo: I bought this at Dollarama and didn't really like it. Don't know if this one was a bad batch or what, but it was not dry at all!

Jealous Body Scrub: I loved this scrub, I did a review on it. I might not purchase it though as I think it can easily be DIYed.

Dove Go Fresh Anti-Perspirant: I love the scent of Dove products, but sometimes, they overpower other perfumed products I might wear. This one is the case. It smells fresh, which is great for the underarms, but then that is all I can smell, When I go out, I want to smell like my perfume, and have a more subtle deodorant. I bought this one is a pack of two, but I don't think I'll repurchase this particular Dove deodorant.

L'Occitane Rose Petals Hand Cream: I try to make this one last a while because the scent is limited edition and it's my favourite from L'Occitane yet. I'm sad to let this go, but I still have a few of those handbag sized hand cream, they moisturize, but are not too greasy: they sink in fast.

Bioré Deep Cleansing Charcoal Pore Strips: I used these quite regularly and they are my favourite pore strips. I have tried the original ones in the past and didn't see any difference but the charcoal ones are magic! Mesmerizing in a gross way.

Cattier Rebalancing Cleansing Gel: I liked this one as I love Cattier products. I bought it in France last year and when I first used it, I had breakouts, which I thought was because of this gel but then I used it again a few months later and I was fine. I guess the breakouts were caused by pollution. I haven't found it here in Canada, not sure if it is available at all, but if I see it I will repurchase.

Orgnx Leave-In Conditioner: I liked it. I bought it on clearance and I think it is discontinued, but I would repurchase, and it smelled fruity, which I enjoyed.

COLAB London Dry Shampoo: I love the scent, sophisticated but not too overpowering. I used to like it, but after finishing the bottle, I don't think it is the best dry shampoo. I have other scents, but this one is my favourite.

London Bath and Beauty Mini Shaver: It took me a while to take the plunge and shave my face with these little razors. I have lots of hair, and my face is hairy as well. To the point where my face just look dirty if I don't do anything. Used to wax, but then my skin started t be sensitive and breakouts. Shaving is just a god-sent. I wish those razors would be easier to get a hold of. I still have a few, but would repurchase when I see them in store!

So,.. wait for it... 38 empties! I did good. What about you?

March Empties

Aesop 16:30:00

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?

March Empties

Balance Me 22:31:00

Another month means another Empties post! I did good in March and I'm proud of myself. I haven't bought a lot either so yay me for not cluttering!

Ivy & Castle Cherry Blossom & Almond Foaming Hand Wash: If you're a regula of my empties posts, then you know how much I love the Ivy & Castle Foaming Hand Wash! They smell divine, are similar to Bath & Body Works ones, but they only cost 2 bucks at Dollarama!

MONU Warming Aromatic Mask: I love warming masks! I first thought this one was made of clay, especially with the "for normal and combination skin" claim, but no, it doesn't contains clay. It does have lavender oil and camphor, so it is good before bedtime in the colder months!

ROC Enydrial Hand Cream: When I was back in Québec from living in Vancouver a few years, my skin was not accostumed to dry weather anymore and I experienced a few rashes on my wrists. One of my friend's mum who is a cosmetician recommended this to me and since it has been my hand cream of choice for the dryer months.

EVOLVh UltraShine Moisture Conditioner: I love using this conditioner that I got in a Luxe Box. It makes my hair easier to detangle, which is always a big plus. The scent is elegant, and reminds me of a Chupa Chups perfume I once had. Yes, I made a sentence with elegant and Chupa Chups together! I think it comes down to the combination of musk and sweetness.

Balance Me Extra Care Wonder Eye Cream: I always have the idea that an eyecream should be thick and greasy and having oily skin to me, it's just repulsive. This one is lightweight so I like it. I also have another backup of this sample size, but I would purchase this.

Lush Mr Punch Fruity Soap: This was a tiny sample that I got with my Christmas order. It would not have been something I would reach for, but I like the scent of it, and would consider it next year. Like the name says, it is fruity and spicy, just like a punch!

Marcelle Hydra-C ComplexE Facial Exfoliating Gel: I've already had that it the past and this was a repurchase. They did change the packaging, so if you look for it, make sre to visit their website for the new look! It is the perfect exfoliant for sensitive skin, as the beads are gentle.

Lush Snow Fairy Shower Gel: This is the infamous Christmas-time limited edition shower gel from Lush. If you are a girly girl and like sweet scents, this will be for you next December! For my part, I bought a back-up ;)

NUbalance Hair Remover Cream: Oh my God, don't buy this! On its own, it doesn't do anything. I managed to finish it by using it to stretch my other remover. Usually Dollarama has good cheapy finds, but this one is not one of them, sadly!

Daily Defense Naturals Rainforest 2 in 1 Shampoo & Conditioner: I'm not sure where this came from, as it was part of my dad's discarded stuff. It was probably Dollarama. I loved it, made my hair feels lighter (I have lots of the stuff haha)! As opposed to its name, I'm not using it daily as I wash my hair only twice a week.

So a grand total of 16 emtpies this month! I hope to do as good in April.

Have you used any good products in March?
