I decided I want to start this year with a clean slate and get rid of any empties I have from 2014 so I can keep track of how many products I used up in 2015. So here are the last few products I used up from last year.
I know it's not that much, but I'm actually pretty bad about using things up. I like to buy things, but they just sit there most of the time. Hopefully I'll start using more things up this year so that I'm not wasting my money
anymore.
Body products
Softsoap Pure Cashmere Body Wash. This was actually my sister's. She gave it to me to finish because she didn't really use body washes. I thought it was ok; the scent was light and it lathered up pretty nicely on my loofa. What more can I say about a body wash? I might consider (re)purchasing this if it were on sale and I had coupons for it or something, but I won't go out of my way to look for it.
The Body Shop Loofa. I received this in a gift set from The Body Shop a few years ago as a Christmas gift from a friend. I actually really like this loofa better than the one I'm using currently. It's a lot softer and I don't feel like I'm scratching my skin every time I'm using it. It also lathers body washes pretty well. I would probably not repurchase this, seeing as it most likely cost a lot more than what I would like to spend on a loofa.
Moisturizers
Josie Maran Argan Oil Light Sample. Got this from Sephora,
duh! I have to say a little goes a long way and these samples lasted me at least a few weeks.
You should also know that I'm terrible at moisturizing my skin every day. This sample absorbed into my skin pretty well and doesn't make my face too oily. The only thing I wish the sample came with was the droppers so that I am only using about 3 drops per using rather than random amount every time. I have repurchased the travel size of this.
Tarte Maracuja Oil Sample. Another sample from Sephora.
Apparently I'm Captain Obvious today. The Maracuja oil is a lot thicker than the Argan oil light. It does leave my face pretty oily after each use, but that doesn't really bother me that much because I use this at night. I've repurchased this and am currently using it at night.
Makeup
L'oreal Lash Out Butterfly Mascara. This is probably the first mascara (
I'm a late bloomer in the makeup world) that I really loved. It made my lashes look voluminous and fluttery. I like my lashes to look more on the natural side so I usually don't layer mascaras or even wear multiple coats. I want to do a review on this soon so I will talk more about it in the review. Have repurchased multiple times.
Jordana Best Lash Extreme Volumizing Mascara. This was a hand-me-down from my sister. I know you're not supposed to share mascaras with anyone,
and I usually don't, but for some reason I feel it's ok with my sister.
We don't do it often, and it's usually just letting the other person try it once to feel the hang of the mascara before going out to purchase it for themselves. I didn't use this mascara often but it was just sitting in my collection for the longest time, so out it goes. I will most likely (re)purchase this in the future to see how I like a new tube of it.
Others
INM Out The Door Topcoat. This is currently my favorite top coat. It beats Seche Vite in my book because it is not only cheaper (
I got it for $3.99 at Bed, Bath, and Beyond!), but is also free of some of the bad chemicals that are included in Seche Vite. It dries just as fast and leaves your nails just as shiny as Seche Vite. It also does not goop up as early as Seche Vite. I actually noticed it started getting thicker about 2/3 of the bottle. I have repurchased this and will always repurchase unless I find something better.
Bath & Body Work Twilight Wood Pocket Bac. Another hand-me-down from my sister. I don't know how to describe hand sanitizers besides from their scents. This was a pretty strong scent and I won't repurchase in this scent. I have repurchased the Pocket Bac from Bath & Body Works in other scents though.
EOS Strawberry Sorbet Lipbalm. This was the lip balm that kept going on. I purchased it to try, then gave it to my sister who gave it back to me. I swear I was trying to use this up for over several months but it just would not end! It felt like I went through my Lemon Drop one so much faster than I went through this. I have another Lemon Drop one to use, but after that one is done I don't think I will be repurchasing EOS lipbalms again unless I find an amazing deal I can't pass up.
I've already used up some more products since the beginning of the year and will probably do another empties post either after I finish using a certain amount of products or every few months.
What are some of the products you've recently used up?
