October 2014 Empties

Hey guys!!!

Time for another empties post! I have used up quite a few products recently and I will be showing you what I used up. I will also be reviewing if I will repurchase them or not and why.





  • TRESemme Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Leave-In Spray- This was an awesome heat protectant spray. It was less than $3 and it leaves my hair feeling soft after I straighten it. I won't repurchase this one just because I love the L'Oreal one better.
  • Batiste Dry Shampoo- I LOVE this product it is my holy grail and I was sad when I ran out. This gives me a little volume and really sucks up all the oils from my hair on my 3rd day hair. I will def repurchase this.
  • First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream-  HOLY GRAIL PRODUCT! I wash my hands like 10,000 times a day and my hands get really dry so I like to use this every night so my hands can soak up the moisture overnight! I was sad when I ran out especially since I won't be repurchasing right away. I have other lotions to go through before I do.
  • Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips- I do love these strips and I will most likely repurchase these again unless there is a better product out there. Do you guys recommend anything??
  • LORAC POREfection Mattifying Face Primer- I actually finished this a long time ago it was just chillin in my drawer for so long. I don't even remember what I think of this product. One thing I do remember is that a little goes a long way.
  • Boscia Clear Complexion Kit- I had bought this to see if my skin will enjoy these products. The cleanser is gentle on my skin, but the only thing is my skin does get more dry after using this. I did repurchase a full size because it was so gentle, but I might return it and get something else just because I don't really see much of a difference in my skin. The Clear Complexion Tonic I love. I will always keep this in my skin care routine I think. It makes my skin feel fresh and doesn't irritate it. Clear Complexion Treatment is also nice and doesn't irritate my skin. I don't know if I will keep this one in my skin care routine once again I don't see much of a difference with my skin. Clear Complexion Moisturizer I hated. It didn't moisturize me much so I didn't repurchase. 
  • Ulta Eye Brow Gel- I got this as a gift from someone and I did enjoy it. It helped my brow product last all day, but it didn't control my crazy brow hairs. 
  • The Body Shop Mini Coconut Body Scrub- I heard that using a body scrub is good for your skin and when I saw that the body shop was having a sale I decided to try it out. It makes my skin feel so soft after using it and I will def repurchase.
  • NARS Eyeshadow Duo- I got the Stage Beauty duo from my cousin a long time ago and I loved it. I used it alllll up and I would repurchase a different duo, but I can't get myself to spend so much money.
  • Vitamin E Lip Care Stick SPF 15-  I am in search of my holy grail lip balm and this was NOT it! It dried my lips so bad! Instead of helping my lips it made it worse. 
  • Mini Strawberry Body Butter- I enjoyed this body butter it really moisturized my skin especially my really dry areas. I hope to repurchase this one soon.
  • Revlon Lash Potion Volume & Length Mascara- It was a nice mascara, but I would not repurchase this. I still love the Maybelline The Rocket. It was a nice everyday mascara it gave me nice volume, but not too much length. 
  • Make Up Forever Aqua Eyes- I got this sample from Sephora and I am still searching for my holy grail eyeliner for my waterline. This liner didn't irritate my eyes whatsoever, but it didn't last on my waterline all day especially on the days that my eyes got watery. I wouldn't repurchase this because of that.
  • OFRA Universal Eyebrow Pencil- I received this in my June Ipsy bag and ever since I can't stop doing my brows. This pencil lasted me a long time and it was amazing. I am not sure if it is holy grail status just because I want to try out more brow products before I make that decision.
Those are all of my empties. What have you guys used up and will you repurchase it?

Rose and Ben Beauty Brushes

 Hey guys!! I haven't done a beauty post in a while and I was in the mood to do one because I am very excited to talk about these! I started follow Rose on IG roseandben  thanks to my friend and I have been loving her content. You can see the passion she has for makeup. I love that she posts on IG stories almost everyday doing a tutorial or talking about her fav products.  I have actually purchased and few of her recommendations and 99% of the products I have bought have become staples in my collection.  When she announced she was coming out with a brand  Rose and Ben Beauty  I just knew it would be brushes because she would always be using prototypes in her tutorials. I trusted her judgment in products soooo I bought most of the collection.  Aren't these brushes beautiful?? When I first got the brushes I felt the bristles and they were so soft. The quality of the bristles and even the handles feels so luxurious. I love the color of the handles too. I only started following her

What Are AHA's??

 Hey guys!!! AHA's(Alpha Hydroxy Acids) is water-soluble, exfoliates dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, reveals healthy looking skin, and it is suitable for all skin types. It helps stimulate collagen, hydrates the skin, brightens the skin, helps lessen skin texture, helps with acne scars, signs of sun damage, and dark spots. There are different types of AHA's out there.  Glycolic Acid Glycolic acid is the most well known and is used in skin care and is also used by a professional in a chemical peel.  It is either used alone in a skincare product or combined with another AHA ingredients at concentrations of 5% and up. It helps to enhance skin's firmness and resilience while softening signs of sun damage.  The size of this acid allows it to penetrate the uppermost layers of the skin to reveal better looking skin. Also it hydrates the skin, and basically helps the skin retain the natural moisture. Glycolic acid can be derived from sugar cane, but they only use the

What are BHA's??

 Hey guys!!! The other day I spoke about AHA's and the different types of AHA's and now it is BHA's.  BHA's(Beta Hydroxy Acids) can get deeper into the pores to remove dead skin cells and excess sebum. It is oil-soluble so it allows it to penetrate deep into the pores and gently breaks up blockages that clogs your pores. That will help with lessening your acne and less visible pores. If you have blackheads, on your nose especially, it can help getting rid of them without damaging your skin like the Biore pore strips do. Also prevents new ones from forming. It could also help with Keratosis Pilaris(KP) in body washes or even body lotions/butters. BHA's are good for all skin types, but especially oily, acne prone skin. Salicylic Acid Salicylic Acid is the most well known out of all of them. It helps reduce acne by exfoliating the skin and keeping the pores clear. It helps with mild acne, blackheads and whiteheads, can help prevent future breakouts.  Tropic Acid, Tret
