1. Olay Age Defense Body Wash: This is my go-to body wash. It's super moisturizing, has a nice clean scent, and leaves my skin feeling hydrated and soft. I've already repurchased it and found an even bigger size with a pump. So awesome. 2. Village Naturals Moisturizing Milk Bath & Body Wash: I used this for bubble baths and it was pretty nice. I don't really have any complaints about it, but it wasn't anything special. I wouldn't mind repurchasing it, but I would like to try something new first. 3. Olay 2in1 Body Wash: I purchased these two body washes because they were on sale for buy one get one free. I did like these and they smelled so good. I use my body wash to shave, and this body wash is a little too thick for that, so I personally wouldn't use this regularly. 4. Secret Deodorant in Paris: I flip-flop deodorants all the time. This one smelled really nice and I probably will repurchase it, but not in the near future. 5. Victoria's Secret Body Butter in Pure Seduction: I love this scent! I have the body lotion and the body spray. I have a few more body butters I need to get through before I can repurchase this one.
I love Bath & Body Works Candles! Both of these scents were perfect for summer. I also used up one in Mahogany Teakwood but I accidentally threw it away with the regular trash instead of in my empties bag, oops! I will definitely be repurchasing Mahogany Teakwood because it's part of their permanent collection. Once they bring out all their fall scents I will be stocking up on those. Bath & Body Works has sales pretty regularly. I always wait to buy candles and stock up when they have their 2 for $22 sale.
My husband and I really like the Crest 3D White toothpaste. They have a couple different flavors and I'm not picky on which one we get. As long as my toothpaste has a minty flavor I'm good.
1. Pantene Pro-V Nature Fusion Shampoo: I've used Pantene for years. I don't care if people say it's the worst shampoo for your hair because my hair loves it. I always rotate different shampoos. This one was ok, it's not my favorite from the line. Pantene discontinued their first set of Nature Fusion products and I was so sad because they were my favorite! I really wish they would give this new set the ax and bring back the original formula. 2. Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Deep Conditioner: I've talked about this before in my June Favorites. I use in almost every time I wash my hair. It's my favorite drug store deep conditioner. I have already repurchased it and even have an extra for when the new one runs out. 3. Batiste Dry Shampoo: I've also raved about this product before in a previous post. It's the best dry shampoo I have found for my hair and it's super affordable. I get mine from Ulta. 4. Macadamia Deep Repair Masque: This mask gets tons of love in the beauty community. It's a really nice deep conditioner, but it's also pretty pricey. I did like it a lot, my only complaint is the price. I really don't think it's worth the hefty price tag.
1. Make Up For Ever HD Foundation: This is one of my absolute favorite foundations and I always have one in my collection. I recently hauled my new bottle of this and use it regularly. Right now it's the darkest foundation I have, so I can only use it when I have a fresh spray tan. I plan on getting another shade for when I'm at my lightest, that way I can mix the two shades to match me all the time. 2. Laura Mercier Radiance Primer: I love Laura Mercier primer's. This is my second bottle of primer from the line. I would repurchase her regular oil free primer before repurchasing this one again. 2. Dior Addict Lip Glow: I recently did a post comparing this to the Tarte LipSurgence in Energy. This is one of my holy grail lip products and I will definitely be repurchasing it.
1. Studio Beauty Strengthening Nail Polish Remover: I know this isn't super exciting, but I finished a nail polish remover. I'm not a big stickler on nail polish removers. My only must is that it has to have acetone in it. Honestly, I don't have a go-to remover. I can grab one from any store or brand and be happy with it. 2. Essie Polish in Fiji: This is my favorite nail polish color! I've already purchased a new bottle. It's the perfect milky pink color and looks great with anything. I'm one of those people that likes their nails to match what their wearing, and this is the safest polish because it's so classic. I hardly every have bright colored nails. I tend to stick with neutrals and then dark colors in the fall and winter. 3. Sephora Formula X Top Coat: I love this top coat and will be repurchasing it. It dries so fast and makes my polish last twice as long as any other top coat I've tried. I have a few other Formula X products, and I highly recommend the whole line.
1. Philosophy's Purity Facial Cleanser: I use this face wash every single day and have repurchased it many times. It's gentle, has never broken me out, has a spa-like scent, and works great with my Clarasonic. 2: Loreal Youth Code Texture Perfector: I talked about this product in my July Favorites and I really like it. It feels nice on the skin and smells fresh. I'm on the fence if I would repurchase it though. For a drugstore item, this serum is pretty pricy, coming in at $20.00. It also really didn't last long and I wasn't able to get the last little bit out. I think the packaging needs some tweaking. I don't think the pump extends all the way to the bottom of the bottle. You can clearly see there's product still in there, but the pump won't pull anything and I can't get the top off to dump it out. 3. Olay Beauty Fluid Lotion: I love the Olay moisturizers and have been using them since I was in high school. I go back and forth between this one and the Daily Moisturizer with SPF, which is what I currently have. 4. Origins Night-A-Mins: I really like Origins as a brand. I think they have some really fine products in their line. I did like this moisturizer, but I won't be repurchasing it only because it's a gel formula. I'm not a fan of gel moisturizers, I prefer creams and lotions. If your skin works better with gels, I definitely would recommend this one. 5. Origins A Perfect World Facial Cleanser: I received this deluxe sample free with purchase and it was a really nice cleanser. When I first used it, I hated the smell, it's very different and I couldn't put my finger on it. This little guy lasted me a lot longer than I thought it would. It's really thick and lathers really well, so a little goes a long way. I used it in the mornings, and I even used it with my Clarasonic a few times in the evenings and it worked great at both times of the day. I definitely would repurchase this in the future.
That's it for my first Empties! I hope you enjoyed it and maybe found some new products to try. Also, don't forget about the #SeptemeberNoBuy! Be sure to Tweet me or Instagram me to let me know if you're going to be joining me. I'm ready to use up some of my goodies so I can go out and grab some new ones for Fall. Plus, my wallet needs a break from beauty spending..... :)
