February Empties

12:15 AM

This really looks like an empty haul or something but I think I was on the last little bit of a TON of things!

The best part of finishing up all this crap is that I get to buy new stuff =D

Here is what I used up this month....

*Pure Divine $2 at dollar store.

Repurchase? Nahh, this packaging tricked me, I was thinking it was Venus, like the razors but it was just no name stuff. It was alright but I wouldn't repurchase.

*LUSH Snow Fairy- MY FAVORITE!!!

Repurchase?Yes I will one day, when it's on sale. It smells soo good but Lush is just a bit expensive for me to purchase often =/

*LUSH Rub Rub Rub Shower Scrub

Repurchase? Nope, This was a gift from my mom and it really took too long to use up, I only finished it up before it expired and didn't like the smell tooo much.

*DERMALOGICA Daily Microfoliant

This is my absolute favorite facial scrub, it's really different because it is a powder that you rub into your face after wetting it. I didn't like the idea at first because it's kind of like using baking soda or something but holy crap does your face feel nice after!

Repurchase? If I wasn't a total cheap ass I would, but Dermalogica is so expensive and it's really only sold at certain spas or salons around here so it's not taunting me to buy like it would if it was at the drug store.

*BATH & BODY WORKS Sweet Pea Body Butter. Surprise surprise!

Love this stuff!

Repurchase? Yes sure will!

*BATH & BODY WORKS Sweet Pea Shower Gel

Repurchase? Probably not, only because I think it's crazy to pay $10 for this bottle, body wash is body wash to me, if it smells good I am sold, and there are a lot of cheaper ones that smell nice.

*JOICO Body Luxe Shampoo

I really do like Joico products, they are cheaper salon options and are usually on sale around here for the 1L bottles so you really can't go wrong.

Repurchase? Only if there isn't Redken on sale.

*GARNIER Skin Natural Fresh Makeup Removing Wipes

Okay so this is kinda cheating... I tried using these up but they kind of dried up since I bought them a million years ago.

Repurchase? Heck no, they don't remove anything from your skin let alone makeup.

*CALGON Epson Salts

Loved the smell of Eucoliptous and Mint but these aren't anything special if you can find a cheaper alternative.

Repurchase? If there isn't a cheaper option.

Thought I was finished?

NOOO I still have more, ridiculous I know!

*BATH & BODY WORKS Sweet Pea Body Butter

*BATH & BODY WORKS Cranberry Cider

*BATH & BODY WORKS Cinnamon Pumpkin

*BATH & BODY WORKS Merry Misletoe

*BATH & BODY WORKS Pineapple Orchid

I would repurchase all of these candles, I LOVE B&BW Candles, they smell amazing!!!

That's the end of my massive empties this month, I think I made a lot of room for my new things =D

What was on your empties list?

January Empties!

Some of my empties this month!

*CALGON Marshmallow Body Mist - This lasted me like 2 years I swear, would I repurchase? Yes if it was on sale, it smells really yummy!!

GARNIER FRUCTIS Detangling Double Care-I did repurchase a few weeks ago actually, super good detangler!

*CHI 44 Iron Guard- There is a lot of love/hate for this product I have noticed, I would only buy it if it was on sale. I find the Tresemme heat tamer works the same as this to me.

*JOICO K-PAK Intense Hydrator- Yes I would repurchase for sure, such a good product!

*Macadamia Deep Repair Masque- LOVE this hair masque as well, its AMAZING!!!!!! DEF repurchase!!!

I don't know why but I seem to use hair products the fastest out of anything and makeup the slowest, other than mascara.. Lip gloss always seems to last me a while as well even though I am using it 24/7.

What is a product you use up quickly?

Bath And Body Works

HOLY MAN!!!

I recently went away for the weekend for my birthday with my boyfriend and I had my good friend Shari watch my furkids...She had mentioned she had something for me for my birthday and that she would leave it at my house for me...I told her no presents! I usually don't blink too much over my birthday, so I certainly don't ever want people to spend money on me.BUT she did...

I have to share this with you guys because I was so shocked!!! I have gotten presents in my life before, but nothing like this! when I saw it I think I screamed "Holy CRAP!!!"

It was wrapped a little neater, I did open it and take pictures the next day since it was so late when I opened it. I absolutely love anything with stars on it and the wrap on it has nice white stars on it =) She put everything in a really nice basket. I wish I could wrap this neatly!!She is really good at things like this.

HOLY CRAP!!!! LOTS OF PRESENTS!!!!!

This is my ALL TIME FAVORITE lotion EVER!! It's something that I would use every single day if it wasn't so expensive, its around $23 a bottle! ( you really shouldn't

have Shari!) The smell is so good, I could smell it all day!

Like stars I really like Skull things, I know its kinda like a fad but I have always like stars and skulls so this is the wickedest soap dispenser EVER! I love it!! And pink and black are my favorite colors =)

Shari is my shopping buddy and we were at Walmart and were looking at the Calgon Oatmeal Soak and I wanted it but said maybe next time(i'm trying to watch my spending!) She must have remembered that and got it, good memory! One of my favorite lip glosses, Vanilla Mint.As well I love all Sweet Pea things from Bath and Body Works, this lotion is soo nice it makes your hands crazy soft!

I seriously feel like a spoiled brat! lol I really never get this much stuff, or such thoughtful stuff!! I have wanted this Tina Fey book for months, I have heard it is so funny and I love funny things and Tina Fey is awesome, I am so excited to read this =)

I had posted this poem on my blog a while back and I just loved this! She had painted it on canvas and purchased an awesome star picture holder! How original and awesome is this?! I LOVE IT!

This might be teenage like but I love socks, and I will never ever wear white or black colored socks, I will be the 88 year old with the colored socks lol

And in the basket are the best candies ever!! We always buy salt water taffies, I think I ate a handful of them at like 11 last night, they are sooo good!!

THANK YOU SO FREAKING MUCH!!! I still cannot believe I was so lucky to meet such a kind friend who knows me so well!

I am not materialistic at all, but this was so kind, very thoughtful and it is so hard to find a good friend who cares and knows you so well, I am very lucky. =) =) =)

Some Random things worth checking out or leaving behind in the store...

Spending anywhere from $100-$150 or whatever your hair stylist charges isn't always an option... I have been a bit more broke lately so I have to skip the salon again for a couple months =/ This by all means will never replace a good hair stylist but when you are wanting to save a lil bit of cash this will help! I haven't tried this foam dye yet, I will use it this weekend and let the one person who reads this know how it goes ;) but i did watch a video on the Clairol web site and it looked super easy! This is Clairol's nice'n easy foam in black.This box was only $6.00 at my fav-Walmart.

My second new product is the got2b powder. I have tried a couple of these salon ones that can cost up to $25 a bottle which is both of the 2 passed ones were smaller then this bottle! This powder is awesome if you need to save some money on products. I don't think it is as strong as some salon powders but I really like this product for some texture or body to fine hair! Def repurchase. I got this for $7.00 at Shoppers Drug Mart.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this lotion-mostly based on smell, it is Marshmallow body cream by Calgon. I could honestly eat this stuff if it didn't taste so terrible. The smell is strong and sweet, moisturizing wise it is pretty lame. But you can put it over top and use it like a perfume. I like the pump style tube too.My sister and I both grabbed this when we were at Walmart for around $6.

Anyone who likes a good hair spray will enjoy this product- Loreal's Elnett hair spray is a "strong Hold" but will brush right out, so it is not your typical strong hold hair spray. I am not a big fan of the smell, its kind of older hair spray kinda smell but i really like this hair spray! I bought this lil guy for $6 at Walmart for my Vegas trip and am still loving it!

I have been testing eye make up removers lately and i am having a hard time finding a good one for a decent price, so if anyone knows of any let me know! This is Clean & Clear's eye make up remover. It isn't amazing but for a drug store product around $7 is does the trick. It is gentle on my eyes and removes most waterproof mascara without the awful stinging or oily feeling.

Who is looking for a painful STINGING your eye solution to remove make up with lots of elbow grease needed? Well you are in luck because Cover Girl has shoved all that in this bottle for only around $5. If you enjoy burning eyes for hours after you have used this product then you will love this! ;) haha this stuff was brutal!! I read some reviews on make up alley and had read the stinging eye thing and i thought well maybe their eyes were open or just sensitive.. Well my eyes were closed and are not easily irritated.. but this sure did it for me! just terrible. never ever get this!Do yourself a favor and leave it on the shelf!

Have a big bottle of perfume you want to throw in your purse but it is too big to cart around? this is the PERFECT solution.. I got this for x-mas actually and LOVE it! This is the Travalo I watched the video on Andrea's Choice 's YouTube channel and I needed it after I watched it. You just take the little spray part off your perfume and put this on the tube and pump a few pumps, no mess, no spills or wasted perfume. I haven't tried to change the perfume in it so i don't exactly know how you would clean it out but for $10 you could buy another one for a different perfume. My boyfriend got this at Shoppers Drug Mart for me =) .Yes yes I agree it does look like a tampon haha.

Here is a quick video on it if you are curious:

This is my last thing I wanted to show you guys,My lil voodoo Doll- I have had this little guy since X-mas as well, my mom bought it for me and just in case anyone is questioning if i am some weirdo that does voodoo things-i'm NOT! This is just a cute little guy who is supposed to actually bring you luck if you hang on to it or give it to a friend. I put him on my key chain hes so cute! My mom got this at DeTox ( it is similar to Hot Topic in the States) When i was in a CVS i Believe in Vegas they had tons of these!! I wish I would have picked up a couple more =/
