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!

Whitening Lightning Color Your Smile Lighted Lip Gloss

Hey guys!!! Have you guys heard of  Jaclyn Hill ?? If not you have been missing out. She does the best make-up tutorials and recently she had a brush set with Sigma which I missed out on cause I couldn't afford it at the time. Then she announced she came out with her own lip gloss through Whitening Lightning and decided to go ahead and get this one even if it was a little pricey, but I saved up money for it. See how pigmented that color is?? This is the color Rose Hill and the website says it is a romantic and feminine hue. It is a beautiful rosy red color and I love it!! This gloss is amazing because first it has a mirror on the side. Just remember to remove the sticker that is on top of the mirror, but I haven't done that yet that's why it looks dirty on the picture. Secondly, when you open this gloss it lights up. So if you need to reapply when you are out and you don't have a mirror and/or you are in a dark place you are covered. Last but n

Pssssst! Instant Dry Shampoo

Hey guys!!! I love love love the Batiste Dry Shampoo , but before I traveled back in October I had ran out and I didn't have time to buy more. I went into a drugstore and the only thing I found was a Pssssst! Instant Dry Shampoo so I decided to go ahead and try it out.  I honestly do not like this dry shampoo, but I don't hate it. This dry shampoo will get the job done. It sucks up all the oils in your hair and it will stay like that till the next day. I hate the smell of it. To me it turns me off to a product if it doesn't smell good. Also a couple days ago I sprayed some in and someone told me that one side of my hair is white. This is definitely a product that you need to brush it out after a few minutes of applying it to your hair. The white cast that it leaves behind also turn me off to this product. Overall this is an okay dry shampoo. I will be going back to Batiste as soon as this is done haha. Have you guys tried this product?? What do you think??

88 Original Palette by Coastal Scents

Hey guys!!! When I first Started out with make up at 15 I got make up as birthday gifts that year. I was glad I didn't have to purchase any of it myself. Once I got a job a couple years later I wanted to get more and start experimenting with make up a little bit more. It was a low paying job so I was on a budget. I was looking for an affordable eyeshadow palette because I wanted to play around with colors on my eyes. I decided to purchase the Coastal Scents Original Palette:    I actually heard about this palette from my friend Nikki also known as Nix92585 on YouTube.* She was talking about it on her Facebook and I thought "that's a pretty palette" so I decided to go check it out on the website. I love that everything on there is very affordable and I have had this palette for a couple years now and I barely hit pan on one color. It lasts you a long time for such a reasonable price.  Here are swatches:  As you can see these color
