January 2015 Empties

Hey guys!!!

I have used up more products and now I want to show you what I used up and let you guys know what I think of it and if I will repurchase them.




  • Acure Day Cream- I received this in my Birchbox s couple months ago and it is supposed to be for your face, but I used it for my hands. It was really moisturizing and I would put it on overnight so it can sink into my skin. I will not be repurchasing this.
  • The Body Shop Nutriganics Drops of Youth Serum-  I am in search of a good serum so I decided to try this one out. It was okay I didn't notice any major difference on my skin. It didn't moisturize as much as I wanted it to. I will not be repurchasing this.
  • Sephora Collection 10 HR Wear Perfection Foundation- I really loved the finish of this foundation and I actually bought a new one, but I recently have been noticing my pores more and more and I feel like this foundation is sinking into my pores now. I most likely will not repurchase another one once I am finished with it unfortunately.
  • NYX HD Photogenic Concealer- This concealer had good coverage, but it really creased on my really bad even if I set it. I will not be repurchasing this.
  • Almay Liquid Eyeliner- This was my holy grail eyeliner for a long time in brown and black, but I discovered a better liner. If you have watery eyes this isn't a good eyeliner since it is not waterproof. It will definitely smudge and if you don't this is a nice liner. I will not be repurchasing this.
  • Urban Decay 24/7 Velvet Glide-On Eye Pencil- I received the color Black Velvet in an Ipsy bag and I wasn't very impressed. I was impressed on how black it was and how smooth it glide on on my waterline, but it didn't last long for me. I would have to touch up at least once while I was out and about maybe even twice depending on how long I was out. I have watery eyes and this liner didn't hold up well with it. I will not be purchasing this.
  • Origins Ginzing Refreshing Eye Cream- I did enjoy this eye cream, but it didn't really wow me or give me any amazing results. It did brighten up my under eyes a little bit and it did depuff my eyes, but I started noticing that it didn't moisturize it enough. It was close to being holy grail at one point. I do wish it did moisturize more so it could have been holy grail, but oh well. I am trying out a new one now. 
  • L'OREAL Voluminous Miss Manga Mascara- I was really hoping to love this mascara, but even though it was waterproof my curl would not hold at all. I did love the volume and length that it gave my lashes, but because of my stubborn lashes I couldn't love this. I will not be repurchasing this.
  • ELF Essential Wet Gloss Lash & Brow Clear Mascara- For $1 this brow gel is amazing, but if you have crazy brow hairs it is not going to set them down. This product does help your brows last all day. I will not be repurchasing this cause of my crazy brow hairs.
  • Figs & Rouge Hand Cream- I received it in my Ipsy bag, but this was not a good hand cream in my opinion. It didn't moisturize my hands enough I would have to squeeze 3 times in order for it to feel moisturizing. I will not be purchasing this.
  • Skyn Iceland Mini Glacial Cleansing Cloths- I received this in the same Ipsy bag as the hand cream and these cleansing cloths were actually very moist and it didn't break me out that one time I used it on my face. I used most of it to remove swatches off my hand and arm. I will not purchase. 
  • Harvey Prince Hello Perfume- I received this in my Birchbox and it was a nice perfume while I had it. It only lasted me a week,  I will not purchase this just because I have more than enough perfumes in my collection at the moment.
  • Yes to Cucumbers Soothing Hypoallergenic Facial Towelletes- I really did enjoy these wipes when I would remove my makeup off my face with these, but I stopped using wipes a couple months ago and now I only use them to remove swatches off my hand and arm. I will always repurchase them.
Those are all the products I used up!! What products have you guys been using up??
Next couple of posts will be my December Favorites and Yearly Favorites so keep a lookout for those this week!

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 ...

Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara

Hey guys!!! I saw a review on YouTube on a new mascara and after seeing that I really wanted to try it out. I went and bought the Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara in waterproof. I LOVE the Maybelline The Rocket mascara and it is my holy grail, but I always love trying other mascaras and see if it is as good or even better than The Rocket.  I really love the wand because I am able to reach the lashes in my inner corner. One important thing to me in a mascara is if the waterproof formula will keep my lashes curled all day without them falling. I am happy to say that my curl stay up all day with this mascara. This is my second Maybelline mascara that I have tried and I am noticing that if I didn't have a good makeup remover it would be really hard to remove.  This mascara gave me a little bit of length and good volume. I like to build up my mascaras and this will make my lashes clumpy after the second coat and I don't like the look.. Sometimes even if I am ...

Nails of the Week

Hey guys!!! I decided to talk about what is on my nails for the week. I will be doing this a couple times a month since I like to change my nail colors frequently! I used China Glaze polish in the color Frostbite and on top i used the Wet n Wild Wild Shine glitter polish. I am not too sure what the name of it is, but it is my favorite glitter polish to use. This was my first time using a China Glaze nail polish, but I was kinda disappointed. I had to apply the color about 3-4 times for it to be this pretty bright color. If you don't have time to sit there and apply this many coats and wait for it to dry I don't recommend this color.  The upside about this nail polish is that it lasts on your nails without chipping. Normally mine start chipping after 3 days because I wash my hands so many times a day since I work with kids. Right now its the 6th day and I only have minor chipping. Maybe I will try another color in this brand soon. You guys have any recommendatio...
