I can't believe Christmas is already around the corner. This is my first empties post and it's pretty fruitful since I've been collecting empties for awhile. I know when purchasing products the first thing I do is look up reviews so I'm hoping my mini reviews are helpful! Let's get Started.
Hair:
Redken Color Extend Shampoo
I got the smaller bottle so that I could test it out before committing to the 33 oz bottle. All in all this was a great shampoo. It had a great smell and it really helped my hair retain the purple color a lot longer. I will be repurchasing the bigger bottle next time I'm at Cosmo prof (it's a lot cheaper at a professional hair store). This is a complete must if you have color treated hair!
Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser's Invisible Oil-Primer
I don't know how I've been living without this product for this long! It's a complete miracle worker, it's completely changed my hair. I spray this on my hair when it's damp (sometimes dry too for flyaways
). I bought this for the heat protectant properties. After I started using it I realized that it really met all it's claims. Totally softened, detangled, de-frizzed, and protected my hair! I will be repurchasing the larger bottle of this as well.
Not Your Mother's Knotty to Nice Conditioning Detangler
I seriously should buy stock in detangler. I have a lot of hair but it's very fine which makes it annoyingly knotty so I'm forced to add detangler to my everyday arsenal. This one in particular did NOT make it to my favorites list. I felt like it weighed my hair down, didn't even help in the detangling department and to top it off the smell was so off-putting. I will NOT be repurchasing this product ever again.
Matrix Design Pulse Hard Lock Hair Spray
I've been using this hairspray for a couple years now. This stuff is amazing it truly keeps your hair in place (frozen) without looking slicked down. It dries almost instantly and doesn't create any stickyness. It might be a little hard to brush out if you're using a lot of product but I've never really ran into that issue. I can put some of this in my hair and still put my fingers through my hair. This is one of my HOLY GRAIL hair sprays, I will continue to repurchase!
Kenra Volume Spray Super Hold #25
HOLY GRAIL hair spray! This one has been give a stylist choice award for a reason. It smells amazing, gives great volume and hold throughout the day. I brought this to Mexico with me and it even preformed great in humid weather. This is an obvious repurchase!
Paul Mitchell Straightener
I purchased this straightener almost 10 years ago at a hair and beauty show. I have nothing but great things to say about the quality of this product. If I could find this exact model I would definitely repurchase.
Phew, that was a lot of hair products!
Face:
Derma Doctor-Litmus Test Glycolic Acid Facial Cleansing Gel
I was really intrigued by all the claims on the cute little box. This is a foaming gel cleanser that is suppose to be free of detergents or anything that will strip or irritate the skin. I really enjoyed this cleanser overall. It helped remove most of my make up and never left my skin feeling dry. It also helped clear up some issues I was having. This was a definite win in my book! I will be repurchasing this product again.
Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleansing Cloths
I did not like this product at all. The cloths were dry and did not aid in make up removal at all. The texture of the cloth was not made with the face in mind. Total letdown. I will NOT be repurchasing this product.
Heritage Rosewater & Glycerin
This stuff is bomb.com! Yep, I just said that:) This is another product I've been using for years on and off. I always get lured into other more expensive toners but always end up coming back to this one! It's inexpensive and does the job. I typically spray this directly onto my skin or put it on a cotton ball . It's refreshing, moisturizing and has an amazing scent! I will forever and always repurchase.
Olay Fresh Effects Long Live Moisture
I bought this for my gym bag and absolutely fell in love. The scent was not over powering at all. The lotion was light and absorbed quickly into the skin which is great when you're on the go. It also didn't lead to breakouts which is a definite plus in my book. I will be repurchasing this for my gym bag!
Philosophy- Purity Cleanser
This is by far one of the best everyday cleansers. It completely strips your face of all makeup yet it's very gentle not he skin. It leaves your skin feeling refreshed and cleansed, best feeling in the world! I'm indifferent about the scent so that didn't sway my decision either way. I will continue to repurchase this product! Total HG status:)
Philosophy- Hope in a Jar
I was looking forward to testing this product, as I knew it was a cult favorite. Boy was I letdown! The smell is awful and the consistency feels weird on my skin. Needless to say I will NOT be repurchasing this product.
Dr. Ohhira's Probiotic Kampuku Beauty Bar
This is another favorite and something that's been in my gym bag for the last 4 years. It's a gentle everyday soap. I love using it when I have two a days so that sweat doesn't sit on my skin. If I were to leave it I would break out and nobody has time for that:) I will continue to repurchase this item that's for sure!
Urban Decay B6 Vitamin Infused Complexion Prep Spray
I initially received this product as a sample and liked it but wasn't enough to really gage how well it worked. I typically use this right after I shower or wash my face prior to moisturizer. It feels amazing when sprayed onto the skin and absorbs quickly. I felt like it reduced the redness in my cheeks but didn't notice a change in pore size. If you're going on vacation to hot/humid place this should be a staple in your beauty bag. I kept the sample size in my gym bag to refresh after a workout which really worked out great. Overall I felt like it made my skin glow, reduced redness and helped retain moisture on my dry skin! I obviously really enjoy this product and have repurchased it since!
Este Lauder- Advanced Night Repair Serum
I enjoyed the sample size but did not notice a huge difference. Still on the fence about purchasing the actual size. This product has nothing but great reviews on all sites making this my first Maybe!
Lancome Energie De Vie
I enjoyed the smell and skin felt very moisturized but will be sticking with Lancome High Resolution Refill 3X.
Makeup:
Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Spot Concealer- Brightner
This stuff is bomb.com! I use this to highlight my face as well as brighten the under eye. It makes you look alive and is a cheaper alternative to the touché éclat or Mac prep and prime brighteners. I will be repurchasing this again and again!
Katy Perry Lashes-Eylure (Punk Princess)
Ultimate favorite lashes! I'm teaching myself how to apply which is a hard task in itself but these are gorgeous and the packaging is spectacular. They are easy to apply & look amazing! I have already repurchased a handful of these!
Smashbox Photo Hydrating Foundation Primer
This is holy grail status on the primer front! It's so hydrating without feeling greasy. I went through a patch of time where my skin was super dry and this really helped. I will not go without this product! Yes, this is an obvious repurchase!
Benefit Gimme Brow (Medium/Deep)
This brow product is a game changer! It filled in the sparse areas of my brows (fibers help do that) while keeping them in place and groomed all day! This does not get flakey, runny or feel cakey at all! It's a fool proof way to get your brows on point! I'm on my 4th one since the product came out and have recommended to basically everyone I know! Yes, I will continue to repurchase this!
Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascara
Another loved product! I will always have this in my mascara arsenal. It lengthens, defines and separates without clumping at all! I typically partner this mascara with Loreal's Carbon Black and it legitimately looks like i'm wearing falsies! Definite, repurchase!
Perfume:
Gucci Guilty
Had a luxurious and rich scent! Absolutely loved this for the winter time. Would repurchase in the future!
Supplements:
Jack3D Micro
Both my fiancé and I loved the product, it gave us a boost of energy and a good pump. I never crashed after taking this but beware if taken to late you might be up all night tossing and turning! It totally helps you get the last few reps which is a win in my book. We have repurchased this since we ran out. No jitters, great energy boost, no beta alanine (tends to give me an itchy feel all over my body) and most importantly no crash makes this a great pre-workout!
Alright, that is the longest blog post of life but I had a lot of products to go through!
XO- Besos,
