Empties/Products I'm Chucking Out #3


I feel happy writing these posts, because I know that I at least use up some of the products I'm purchasing. 

Lush Dreamwash Shower Smoothie
I discovered this towards the end of the June, and I repurchased a back-up when I was in England because of the significant price difference. It is quite expensive though, so I only use it on parts of my body with eczema and it has helped. 

Vaseline
Who doesn't love Vaseline? I use this as a lip balm and in the hope that smothering them on my eyebrows will help them grow. 

BeautyCareCo Makeup Remover Pads 
A repurchase, and next time I'm in Kmart I will pick up another packet. You can never have enough makeup remover pads. 

Nivea Irresistibly Smooth Body Lotion
I brought two of these travel size bottles with me to England, I used one up there and brought one back with me. I really like this body lotion, and would repurchase it after I have finished up all the others I have scattered around! 

Batiste Blush Dry Shampoo 
My favourite dry shampoo, and my favourite scent. I will end up repurchasing this, but at the moment I have the original Batiste scent Dry Shampoo because it was $4 at the Reject Shop and I picked up 2. 

Priceline Cotton Tips 
These were alright, nothing fancy. Not much to say about cotton tips though. A repurchase if I go to Priceline.

Swisspers Naturals Green Tea Facial Cleansing Wipes (x2) 
I actually really like these wipes. They're not that expensive full price either, so I don't mind picking them up when they're not on sale. They were on sale at work recently though, so I picked up a back up of the Green Tea and Original. 

Lush Mint Julips Lip Scrub
This is expired, although I hardly made a dent in it. I did repurchase the Mint Julips, but when I was in England they had a Popcorn flavour that I've only seen in Australia once (I think it was around Christmas) so I picked it up and I love it! This will always be a repurchase product for me (although only once a year because it doesn't expire for a year and I'll never end up finishing one whole tub [and now I have two, good job Sarah]) because it is awesome if you have dry lips, especially if you want to rock a matte lip. 

Bio Oil
I use this on scars, stretch marks and stuff like that, although I've become really lazy. I'm not allowing myself to repurchase this until I finish up the Cocoa Butter equivalent I decided to try out, but the scent is so sickly that I hardly touch it. 

Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray
This is a travel size of the stuff that my Dad got me when he purchased the Vice Palette for me last year when he visited England. I finally finished it up when I was in England, but I'm going to keep the bottle because it is a good travel size spray bottle. 

Nivea Pearl & Beauty Deodorant 
This stuff was alright, but nothing amazing. Not as good as my favourite Rexona deodorant, lol. 

Juicy Couture Peace, Love and Juicy Eau De Parfum 50mL
I've had this bottle for a while, and I kept it with my other perfumes long after it was finished (about a year) to remind myself to repurchase it, because I really enjoyed the floral scent. I couldn't find this one, but Juicy Couture by Juicy Couture smells about the same so I picked it up. I enjoyed this perfume and if you love floral scents, check out Juicy Couture by Juicy Couture. 

Essence Lash and Brow Gel Mascara
The lid of this mascara ended up breaking, so I decided its time was up. I have a back up of this anyway, but this is my go-to brow gel. Definite repurchase next time I go to Priceline. 

Clinique High Impact Curling Mascara
This just ended up drying up, so it's time to chuck it. I love this mascara, but I've accumulated so many lately that I will wait to repurchase this. 

Revlon Grow Luscious Plumping Mascara
I really have a love/hate relationship with this mascara. I love what it does, but hate the formula. This one is dried up, but I have another one in my collection. My Mum absolutely loves this mascara, though. 

Lush Dream Cream Hand and Body Lotion Sample 
When the lady at Lush recommended me this, there was none left so she gave me a sample to trial out. I ended up loving it, so I picked it up in England. 

YSL Parisienne Sample 
I finished this up and have already purchased the 50mL bottle of this perfume. I adore the scent. 

Youngblood Mineral Primer 
I received this with an order I made off of Lipstick Republic, and I took it away with me overseas. It was an okay primer, but it didn't do anything amazing for me so I won't repurchase it. 

OPI RapiDry Top Coat
I was never really a fan of this top coat. Since discovering Seche Vite, I don't want to touch the others I own. However, I have a smaller size of this that came with a mini pack of OPI polishes and will use it up. But after I do use all the other top coats I own, the only one I will repurchase will be Seche Vite. 

Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation in 100 Ivory
I am so happy I finished a bottle of foundation! I have a lot of foundation, so this is an accomplishment. I did like this foundation, but the shimmer in it is so noticeable (this is the same reason I don't like the MAC Mineralize Moisture foundation). If you don't mind the shimmer, I recommend this one, but I won't be repurchasing it. 

Benefit Total Moisture Facial Cream Sample
I received this sample at Heathrow airport, and I really like this moisturiser! I will repurchase the full size, but I have two other day moisturisers at the moment and I'm trying to reduce the size of my collection. 

Katy Perry Purr Shower Gel 
This was an okay shower gel, but because of my eczema it isn't the best. I was happy to use it up though, and it smelled just like the perfume - which I love!

Empties/Products I'm Chucking Out #1

These are over the last two-three months or so - I keep forgetting to do this post. I don't think I'll do it monthly, because I don't go through products that quickly. But I think I've hoarded enough empties to do this post.


Australia 3 in 1 Wipes
I hated these wipes. I still have half of them left, but I couldn't use them. The wipes are extremely dry, not moisturising at all. My skin has become really dry lately, and I could not use these wipes at all. I will not be repurchasing these, ever.

Swisspers 25 Facial Cleansing Wipes
I love these face wipes. These Swisspers ones and the pink Johnson's ones are my favourite. It does the job, and the wipes smell nice which is a plus. I may repurchase when I run out of the wipes I have now (I went to Costco and got a 6 pack of the Johnson's face wipes for $20, which is awesome!).

Target Essentials 80 Cotton Pads 
These cotton pads did the job, and I had no issues with them. I don't really go into Target much, but next time I am in I probably will repurchase these.

ELF Super Glossy Lip Shine SPF15 in Pink Kiss 
I hate lip glosses. I hate glossy lips, to be honest. I wasn't a fan of this, but it came in a bulk lot of items I purchased last year that had a few products I wanted to try. I don't use this at all, so I'm just going to throw it out. I would not repurchase this, or any other of the ELF Super Glossy Lip Shines.

Clinique High Impact Curling Mascara in 01 Black
This is a baby sample of my favourite mascara, I love the wand of this mascara and will definitely be repurchasing when I run out of the full size. This has dried out, but I don't think there was much product left anyway. I kind of forgot that I had this mini sample.

Johnson's Moisturising Day Cream
I mentioned this in my March Favourites. I love this day cream, have repurchased it since and will repurchase it again.

Girlz Only Dry Shampoo in Party Nights
This dry shampoo is only $2 at Target, which is amazing. I bought this a while ago, and I can't really remember the scent. It worked well, but the nozzle broke and it still has a bit of product left inside. I might try some other Dry Shampoo's from Girlz Only (I think there is 3 scents), but I wouldn't rush out to repurchase it.

Batiste Dry Shampoo in Blush
THIS IS MY FAVOURITE DRY SHAMPOO EVER. It is a little pricey, but it works wonderfully and the scent is my favourite. I have repurchased it since I ran out, and I've nearly run out of that one, but I will repurchase this over and over again.

Redwin Sensitive Skin Vitamin E Cream
I use this as an all-over body moisturiser, and I love it. I love the smell, and it's good at moisturising. I've already repurchased this since running out.

Maybelline Expert Eyes Eyeshadow Quad in Island Shimmer
This product isn't very pigmented. It is quite shimmery, so the only way I think it could be used is as an inner corner highlight. I don't really like it, nor think I need it. I might see if my Mum wants it, but otherwise, it's being thrown out.

Benefit Erase Paste in Light
I decided to depot my Erase Paste because I thought there would be a bit more product in there to last me another month or so. I'm so glad I did, because there was so much product left! I've depotted it into a Clinique eye cream jar, and there is quite a lot of product in there. When I run out of it, I will be repurchasing. It is a great under eye concealer.

Australis Primer
I got this in a set four or so months ago. For $15, I got the Australis Ready Set Go Translucent Finishing Powder, the Australis Makeup Finishing Spritz and this primer. I've tried this primer before, and didn't like it, but the set was worth it as the two products I wanted alone would have cost almost $30 - with the primer, over $40. I used the primer up, but I wouldn't repurchase.

Fennel Acetone Free Conditioning Nail Polish Remover
I picked this up in a chemist a couple of months ago. When I have acrylics, I use acetone free nail polish remover so it doesn't destroy the acrylic. This nail polish remover was good, but I wouldn't go out of my way to repurchase this particular brand.

Katy Perry Purr Perfume 100 mL
I've had this bottle for almost a year, and have just finished it. I love the smell of this perfume, and have already repurchased a smaller sized bottle. The only complaint is the packaging design - I have dropped this perfume a million times, it has fallen over a million times, and in the picture you can see that the bottom has actually chipped. Nonetheless, I love this perfume.

Revlon Skinlights Face Illuminator in 01 Golden Lights
I have had this for about five years I think. It's still got a ton of product, but it is old, and I think I should chuck it out.

Ulta3 Perfect Finish Loose Powder in Champagne
This colour is too dark, and too orange for me. I probably used it once, but it was too dark. Time to chuck it.

Maybelline Fit Me Pressed Powder in 115 
I loved the Maybelline Fit Me range last year. I've been through two or three of these powders. I've fallen in love with the MAC Studio Fix Powder though, so I probably won't repurchase. However, this is a very good powder for setting foundation.

And that's it for my first empties post! Thanks for reading xo
