August/ September Empties
This time around I've got two months of empties coming at you! I gathered up my goodies from both August and September, so we mostly have end of summer products in this batch.
Anastasia Clear Brow Gel
What it is: clear brow setting gel
How long I had it: probably a year
Feelings: my fave brow gel! leaves the brows defined and in place but not crunchy or shiny. Im looking forward to trying the glossier option but I'll always have this guy in rotation
Repurchased: Yes
Korres Wild Rose Oil (mini size)
What it is: a brightening hydrating facial oil
How long I had it: about 10 months
Feelings: I use this to blend out my Kat Von D foundation versus as a serum. I use 2 drops on my beauty blender to rehydrate and smooth the foundation out. I do occasionally use this as an oil step in my summer routine.
Repurchased: yes
Caudalie Beauty Elixir limited edition Jason Wu bottle
What it is: a multi use facial mist, can be used as a toner, setting spray and refresher mist
How long I had it: about 10 months
Feelings: I used this mist very frequently! I put it into my routine wherever I need it and its a great travel spray as well! Its very cooling and refreshing on the skin so its very helpful in the summer time.
Repurchased: Yes
Kiehl's Creme de Corps Body Scrub
What it is: a hydrating body scrub
How long I had it: 1 month
Feelings: loved it! I used it years ago and was't a fan but with the reformulation I'm in love. After finishing I promptly purchased the full size.
Repurchased: Yes
Ole Henrikson Sauna Scrub mini
What it is: a warming facial scrub
How long I had it: 3.5 months, with sporadic use
Feelings: I really enjoyed this. This was a 100 point gift from Sephora and I actually finished the tube! I am happy to keep this deep cleansing scrub in my rotation.
Repurchased: yes
By Terry Baume de Rose body
What it is: an ultra rich hydrating body cream
How long I had it: 3 months
Feelings: I really really enjoyed this cream. I used it every single day for 3 full months and I felt it kept my skin super soft. That being said it was very expensive and I felt it didn't do anything too extra, although if I had a gift card I'd probably splurge on it.
Repurchased: no
Son and Park Beauty Water
What it is: a multi use cleansing water, brighting tonic, and toner
How long I had it: 5 months with daily use
Feelings: this is my second bottle. I'm in love. I use it as a morning cleanser and a nighttime toner
Repurchased: yes
Becca Backlight Priming Filter mini
What it is: a brightening primer
How long I had it: uh like maybe a year?
Feelings: meh. It took me ages to get through this mini. It always felt great and looked good but never did anything spectacular.
Repurchased: no
Alterna Caviar Infinite Color Hold Shampoo and Conditioner
What it is: a color enhancing Shampoo and Conditioner mini
How long I had it: several months with sporadic use
Feelings: so obsessed! I would mix up using the shampoo with my Perfect Hair Day conditioner and vice versa. I think I enjoyed the conditioner a little bit more than the shampoo but both were great. They smell amazing and people always asked if I had gotten my hair colored after I used it.
Repurchased: sort of. I'm getting the conditioner.
