Products I've Used Up / Empties

Today I’m posting my first empties video, where I show you all of the products I’ve used up recently. There are lots of hair products, mascara, and stuff from LUSH Cosmetics!

I find empties videos so helpful because you get a more complete review than a first impressions or monthly favorites video. Those videos are great too but with an empties video, you get to hear about products that were fully loved (or sometimes hated) till the last drop.

If you haven’t seen my Dry Shampoo Review/Comparison Video, you may not know my absolute love for dry shampoos! They are great for refreshing hair, long trips, and styling second day hair. It’s really bad to wash your hair everyday but if you can’t stand the feeling of dirty hair, like me, dry shampoo is absolutely the answer.

Finding the right dry shampoo is difficult. The Suave Dry Shampoo is great at reducing oils in your hair and works very quickly. However, I can’t get used to the scent so I won’t be repurchasing it. I know many other people who love the scent and for the price, it is worth trying at least once.

The Batiste Dry Shampoo costs a little more but this brand has lots of scents to choose from (my favorite is the rich and elegant paisley). It works quickly and applies easily.

I had a large sample of the Ouidad Climate Control Heat and Humidity Gel that I also used up. I’m not sure if this made much of a difference so I probably won’t be repurchasing it.

I have a very large LUSH Cosmetics obsession! I’m always trying new products from them because they have some cool things that you just can’t get anywhere else.

Lush’s Dream Cream Lotion is one of products I hated at first and then grew to love. It was all about the scent. It’s very natural and I just hadn’t tried many natural scents before. Dream Cream is a wonderfully thick lotion.

One of Lush’s more popular scents is the Rock Star Soap. I’m sure many people buy it for the name but the fact that it smells like candy, vanilla candy to be specific, probably helps too.

My holy grail face wash is Coalface Face Wash. This is the only face wash that helps me keep breakouts at bay.

As much as I love, love, love, love Lush (too many loves??), I will admit that I was not a fan of their Retread Conditioner, Tea Tree Water Toner, Grease Lightning Gel, or Snow Fairy Lip Balm.

Onto Mascaras! And there were lots of mascaras. Well loved mascaras included Maybelline The Falsies, CoverGirl Lash Blast, Maybelline Colossal, Maybelline Mega Plush, Benefit They're Real, and Victoria's Secret Lash Lust.

I’m not a huge fan of false eyelashes but I did enjoy using the Celebrity Lashes from Sephora.

In addition to my holy grail face wash, I also have a holy grail foundation. I can't live without my Make Up Forever High Definition Foundation. It’s expensive but totally worth it. Every other foundation I’ve tried breaks me out like crazy!

Last May, I purchased the Shea Body Butter from The Body Shop and promptly used it up entirely. I like this because I can wear it when I want a subtle scent or a scent that goes well with other perfumes and fragrances.
