How many beauty products do you think I will finish in one year? I mean proper sized products, not counting sheet masks and samples. My latest empties post ended with product number 55, so far this year and I am sitting here in a room with empties scattered all over the floor that I will spread through several empties posts. Will I make 100? I bet. Will I make 150? 200? I don’t know. I am not trying to make a challenge out of it but I find it a bit interresting to see how many of these tubs and jars and pots I go through.
So these are the guys I will be going through today. Unfortunately one is not an emptie but a beakie. But we will get to that later on.
#56 – Batiste Dry Shampoo Cherry: I like the Batiste dry shampoos in general. They do the job and are affordable. The scent on this is sweet and a bit artificial, but not bad. I can see how it will be a bit too much for some though. I do however prefer the one for brunettes, because unless I use this very sparingly I get a white cast. No problem if you don’t have dark hair like me though.
#57 – Queen Helene Mint Julep Scrub: My first ever encounter with a brand. It is super cheap and smells delicious. It has a decent amount of scrubbing grains without being rough, so nice for the face. A bit to mild to use for the body in my opinion, but I like my body scrubs to do their job properly. This have worked as a facial scrub for me, and my skin feels refreshed without stripping it of moisture. I do always reapply moisturizer though after, it just means I don’t get squeeky clean or feel too tight. Quite decent for the very low price tag I would say.
#58 – Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix Daily Cleansing Pads: I used these after facial cleanser because these are nor good enough to properly cleanse on their own. I am actually not sure what they did. It just felt like an extra step in my routine that did absolutely nothing. Except being a good way to double check if my leanser got all the makeup off (It did!). Will not repurchase.
#59 – Bella Lucce Arabian Odyssée Exotic Date & Wild Honey Buff: Did you ever try any of Bella Lucce body scrubs? If not you have been missing something. The perfect amount of grains in a delicious smelling base that leaves your skin so incredibly moisturized and soft. I love the warm, sweet spicy oriental scent of this. This is quite expensive for a body scrub but so worth it! Will absolutely for sure repurchase.
#60 Sterilan Aloe Vera Deodorant: Are we bored to death yet? I know deodorant is super boring but I am kind of excited that I finished one since I don’t really use them. I don’t have any issues with odor or sweating under my arms (when I am exercising there is no way a deodorant can help me though). I don’t know if this works or not since I don’t really have any issues for it to help me with.
#61 MAC Mineralize Skinfinish “By Candlelight”: I am so sad about this. It is such a lovely limited edition highlighter. I kept it for so long even if it is broken, but it is so messy I never use it anyway. So it is time to part ways. If this ever comes back I want a new one! But I guess my 150 other highlighters will just have to do until then (meaning I will most likely survive).
Did you finish anything exciting lately? Let me know in the comments!
XOXO
Mufavorites!
I’ve used the mint julep face mask but I didn’t even know they had a scrub! Definitely have to check that out, their facemask is one of my favorites (:

I have heard good things about that face mask. Partly the reason why I picked up this scrub 😊

I finished two full size lipsticks this year- one from Burt’s Bee’s and one from the drugstore NYC brand (never buying from them again, btw) I finished one full sized lip balm from Burt’s Bee’s, and two mascaras. I worked on those in 2017 and finished in the beginning of 2018. For this year I’m going through a lot of ColourPop stuff- lippies, the Double Entendre, Super Shock Shadows, etc. We’ll see how I do, though 🙂

Good job so far then! 😊 In my experience both Colourpop lipsticks and eyeshadows are quite forgiving to pan so I bet you do great 😄
