January 2016 Empties Part 1

Hey guys!!!

Time  to talk about some products that I have used up once again! Also once again I wait too long and I have collected a lot of products so I will separate it into two parts. I will show you what I used up and if I will repurchase or not and why?




  • Batiste Dry Shampoo- I decided to try a different kind of the Batiste Dry Shampoo to see if there is a difference. There honestly is no difference other than the fact the other one I have used is tinted and this one isn't. I still love my Batiste! 
  • OAHU Bath & Body Works Body Lotion- I had so many of these body lotions from the last clearance sale I believe that I decided to use them all up. I used up 3 bottles by this point actually I just didn't want to show them all. I do like the lotions, but it is not holy grail status. It is just I love smelling good.
  • La Roche-Posay Toleriane Foaming Cream- This is my everyday twice a day cleanser. So far this has been my favorite cleanser. I did repurchase this product and it is holy grail.
  • R+Co DEATH VALLEY Dry Shampoo- I had never heard of this brand before and when I received it in my Birchbox I was skeptical. I was wrong and fell in love with the product. Maybe one day I will repurchase, but for now I will go the more affordable route. 
  • Oscar Blandi Pronto Dry Styling Heat Protectant Spray- My holy grail heat protectant spray. This will not leave your hair wet once you spray it and it leaves my hair soft after straightening my hair.I will repurchasing this soon after I am done using the one I am using up now.
  • First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream Intense Hydration- My holy grail hand cream. I also started using it on my face whenever I have dry patches. The dryness is gone in a couple of days. I will always continue to repurchase and one day I will buy the big tub rather than the 2 oz one. 
  • Yes to Cucumbers Facial Towelettes- My favorite makeup remover wipes ever. You will always and forever see these in my empties. It doesn't burn my face or my eyes. This removes 90% of my face makeup and I also use these to remove swatches.
  • Laura Mercier Invisible Loose Setting Powder- This was my holy grail powder at the time I used this, but I started using the Translucent Setting Powder and it is a little bit better than this one. I won't repurchase this one, but will keep using the translucent one. 
  • ELF Makeup Remover Pen- ELF has been doing amazing with their products and this is one of them. I love to use this when I mess up my wing liner or need to clean my eyeshadow. This is a holy grail product and I already repurchased.
  • Benefit They're Real! Push-Up Liner- I was supposed to do a review on this liner, but it totally slipped my mind. I threw it away after taking these pictures and I was supposed take a picture of the liner by itself, but that is besides the point. I got this for free when I ordered from Sephora online and I was excited to try it. Sadly it was disappointing and it was too dry for me to work it. I tried different ways and nothing worked.
  • Kat Von D Ink Liner- I will be writing a blogpost on this one and as a sneak peak I do enjoy this product.
  • Pixi Natural Brow Duo- My holy grail brow product! I can have bold brows or natural brows with this product. And it holds my brows in place all day. I will repurchase as soon as I use up the brow products I have now.
  • Manna Kadar Cosmetics Lash Primer- Another product I was supposed to review and failed miserably. My quick review is that it did absolutely nothing for my lashes. Products like these make my lashes fall back down so hard and have no hope of staying curled at all. It also said you can wear it overnight and I did, but no difference on my lashes. 
  • Perfume Sample- I failed at showing which perfume sample this is and I have made it a goal to use up my samples and save up the ones I love so it could be a future purchase. 
  • Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara- My holy grail mascara and it is another product you will always and always see in my empties. My bottom lashes look long and voluminous and lasts all day without running down my cheeks. 
That is all I have to show you for now of the products I used up. What have you guys used up recently and will you repurchase or no and why??

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...
