Product Empties — January to March 2021

Hello again and happy Friday!

I am back with more mini/speed reviews of my empties from the first quarter of the year. Slowly but surely I am catching up to where we are now. It’ll go fast, I hope. I am also hoping to start doing some reviews again. I gotta look back and see which palettes I missed to start using them and create lookbooks.

Anyway, today I don’t have a lot of products. During this period I used the least* amount of products. I wasn’t feeling it much but I’m happy to say I’m back to using a lot of my products so I’ve been producing more empties recently. Let’s go.

Haircare

Not Your Mother’s Plump For Joy Body Building Dry Shampoo — I use dry shampoo every once in a while. I try not to wash my hair so often, and this one is the best one for my hair. It does give me a bit of volume and it cleans my hair until my next wash. I’ve repurchased several times over.

Briogeo Farewell Frizz Smoothing Shampoo & Conditioner — Loved both of these products used together. I think I liked the conditioner more because I feel like it made a difference in how my hair felt. I wish they weren’t so expensive. So far they’re the ones who calmed my frizz the most and their other products combined make my hair feel soft, voluminous, and great.

Bath & Body

Yardley London English Lavender Bar Soap — I like this brand a lot because it doesn’t feel like there is a waxy layer on my skin. It’s so smooth and lathers a lot. Skin feels moisturized rather than dry.

Gold Bond Whipped Shea Butter — Received in a voxbox and I thought it was great. Super soft and goes on smoothly. First whipped body butter I’ve ever tried and now I’m hooked 🙂 Won’t repurchase because I want to try whatever else is out there first.

Makeup

Wet n Wild Photofocus Foundation (declutter) — I liked this foundation, the shade wasn’t quite right but it also went bad really quick. I also don’t care to repurchase as WnW is no longer cruelty free.

NYX Born to Glow Liquid Illuminator (declutter)— I had this for the longest time and it was time to throw it out. I used it a lot mixed in with my liquid foundations and it gave me a nice glow. It was great on its own on top of all my makeup. Don’t think I would buy again because I have so many liquid highlights that I still need to use up, but overall the formula is great.

NYX Matte Liquid Liner — One of my all time favorite liquid liners. I always repurchase because it hasn’t failed me, even when the formula changed. 🙂 I would love to find another one that is this affordable and easy to use.

Skincare

Sephora Lychee Face Mask — This mask was hard to remove from the film, it was a little big on my face, and it moved. It had loads of serum felt cooling and it calmed down some redness in my face. 🙂

Oh K! Illuminating Serum Mini — I have had the full size and loved it, so it was nice to have a bit of it again. You can check out my full thoughts on this post. In short: I love it and will be purchasing at some point again.

Again, not a lot of products, but it’s still something nonetheless and I even got to declutter.

What are you guys up to this weekend?
