July 2015 Empties

Hey guys!!!

I have been using up a lot of things lately and it was time to do another post before it gets to be too much. I will be showing you what I used up and what I think of each product.




  • Clinique Makeup Brush Cleanser- As always this will be in my empties because it is my favorite spot cleaning product for my brushes. It cleans them very well and it lasts me a while.
  • Harvey Prince Hello Shampoo & Conditioner- I honestly hated these products on my hair because it made my hair feel gross and brittle. I will not be buying these products since I received them in my February Birchbox. 
  • Gilchrist & Soames Spa Therapy Body Lotion- This was a nice moisturizer and felt nice on the skin, but it wasn't moisturizing enough. I also received this in my February Birchbox and I won't be buying this one.
  • Fekkai PrX Reparatives Intense Fortifying Masque- I loved this mask! It left my hair feeling soft and smooth and it looked healthy. I will eventually purchase this on my own since I received this in my March Birchbox! Thank you Birchbox for this awesome product!
  • Amika Nourishing Mask- This was an okay mask. I don't think it did much for my hair at all. I received this in my November 2014 Birchbox and I will not be buying this one.
  • WEI Manuka Bee Venom Mask- This mask was okay it didn't wow me. It was moisturizing for sure, but not life changing enough for me to go out and purchase this. I will stick to my Origins Overnight Mask for that. I received this in my April Birchbox.
  • Maybelline Color Tatto in Inked in Pink- This was one of my first color tattos that I bought and I loved it to death. I was more than halfway done with this and it dried up. I will most likely repurchase this one day.
  • Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara- I enjoyed this mascara, but not on its own. I would use this first then another mascara because it does give some volume and length, but not enough for me. The waterproof formula does keep the curl up. It did clump easily if I wasn't careful with it. I probably won't repurchase this one because I am still trying out different mascaras so I can see which ones I love. 
  • BeeKind Shampoo- I hate this shampoo. It didn't lather and my hair felt hard(that is the best way to describe it). I will not be buying this one on my own I received this in my March Birchbox. I have been looking for a more natural shampoo, but no luck.
  • NYC Sunny Bronzer- I really loved this bronzer and I really recommend any beginner to start off with this one. It is not too pigmented so you can build this one up little by little. Only thing is that I had hit major pan and it just broke on me. Does that happen to you guys?? I might purchase this eventually I have to get through the bronzers that I have first.
  • Body Shop Body Butter- I bought this product during Christmas time during an awesome sale and I actually bought 3. I am almost done with the second one now. These are worth the money though just because it does last you a long time. I will repurchase this product eventually gotta get through a few body butters first.
  • Embryolisse Lait-Creme Concentre (24-Hour Miracle Cream)- I was really excited to get this product in my March Birchbox because I have heard great things about it. Back when I tried this I loved it so much that I had to buy a full size at IMATS, but I haven't started using it yet because I am finishing up my night time moisturizer. Soon I will start using it.
  • Clinique All About Eyes Rich- This was a great eye cream, but something about it wasn't good enough for me. It really moisturized my under eye and nothing was wrong with it. It did its job, but......something was missing. I am trying a new eye cream and I think it is my holy grail cream. I will keep you guys updated.
Those are all the things I have used up. What have you guys used up recently??  
I have found a couple of holy grail products and I can't wait to share with you guys this week what they are.

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 ...

Home Chef

Hey guys!!! Do you guys ever struggle to figure out what to make for dinner everyday?? Do you guys want to change it up every once in a while and try something new??  That was me a few months back and I ran across Home Chef in a YouTube video and I clicked on the link she had and I tried it out! They make it really easy for you! They send a a binder so you can use it to put all the new recipes that you receive for future usage. You go online to your account and they have about 15 different meals for you to choose from. You can either order for 2 servings or 4 servings. Also you can customize your account if you are vegetarian or have any allergies so they will not show you the meals that you are unable to eat. Each meal doesn't take long to do. It can take you about 30 minutes for you to do each meal. This was one of the first meals I made: Crispy BBQ Tofu The ingredients for each recipe comes in separate bags and are organized. Each ingredient is por...

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...
