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 ...

Battle of the Eye Primers

Hey guys!! I have oily eyelids and I struggled when I was younger with my eyeshadows and eyeliner creasing. At the time I never understood why. I went into sephora a couple years ago with my best friend and asked "how can I stop that from happening?" That's when I was introduced to eye primers. My first ever eye primer was the Too Faced Shadow Insurance. I have been testing out 6 different eyelid primers and out of the six only two did not work for me. I decided to do this blog for the people that have that same issue as me and to show you guys what options there are out there in the make up world from drugstore to high end.   I tried the ELF Eyelid Primer, Rimmel Exaggerate Undercover Shadow Primer, Mary Kay eye primer, Urban Decay Primer Potion, Too Faced Shadow Isurance, and BareMinerals Prime Time Primer. I'm going to start off with the one that was the worst one out of all of these. It was the Rimmel Exaggerate Undercover Shadow Primer. $4.99 ...

Aveeno ultra calming makeup removing wipes

Hey guys!!! I received the Aveeno makeup remover wipes as a gift! Finally I was able to stop using the horrible wipes that I was using before!! These wipes are amazing! They smell so good and everytime I take one out I have to smell it before I use it on my face. They are very moist and they remove most of my face and eye makeup. I always go with a cotton round with another makeup remover no matter which wipes I use just to make sure everything is off. I don't know if they remove waterproof mascara since I am not using one at the moment. Most IMPORTANTLY it did NOT break me out!  I looked online on walmart to see how much it was and it is around $7. I probably will purchase this myself later on down the line.
