Farewell Old Makeup Bag....What's in My New Makeup Bag?




My Clinique makeup bag has served me well for many years, through... a few road-trips...parties..nights at friends and families homes....Sadly, I need to move on. My once cute floral Clinique makeup bag is now nasty, stained and gross. 

I have since moved on to this blue cosmetic bad I found at Sally's Beauty Supply store on the clearance rack. I love the blue tweed and so happy to have a makeup bag with pockets! Those will come in handy!

All the goodies in my makeup bag, are products I like to use on a regular basis for my daily face routine.

October 2013 Empties


Ok..So I haven't done an empties post in quite awhile...actually, 3 months to be exact. So I have many empties I want to share with you all. There are so many to share, that I'm just gonna go ahead and get started...enjoy! =)

1.) Herbal Essences Honey, I'm Strong
I did like this. Made my bleach hair feel moisturized and silky. I also really loved the scent. Only gripe is the bottle, I felt like I couldn't get the last bit out. I hate wasting product. 
  
2.) Everyday Coconut Cleansing Face Wash
Been through a couple bottles of this stuff. It's great. Something I will repurchase over and over again.
  
3.) Nivea Extended Moisture Daily Lotion
Did not like this stuff. Every time I put this lotion on my legs and put on my pants, all the lent from my pants would end up on my legs. I would end up every night, covered in lent and it was a pain to scrub it off.
  
4.) Mystic Divine Nourishing Masque
Cute tub and fair price but nothing special. Won't repurchase again.

5.) Ion Moisture Solution Extreme Moisture Creme
Didn't like this stuff. I don't have much luck with Ion products, even though many people rave about the brand. Couldn't tell a difference in my hair after using this product.
  
6.) Shiny Silver Color Enhancing Conditioner
Wanted to use this for taking the golden tones out of my hair. Didn't find that it worked or moisturized my hair enough. Will not purchase again.

7.) Crystal Essence Lavender and White Tea Mineral Deodorant
Wanted to try a natural chemical free deodorant, sadly this didn't work for me. I don't like to be stinky, so I won't be buying this product again. Also, the roller ball kept getting stuck and I'm no longer able to finish the bottle. 

8.) Dove Nourishing Care Conditioner
I really like this stuff. Works great for my hair. I have also picked up a few other Dove hair products and they are fantastic! 

9.) Frutique Firming Creme in Harvest Grape
Broke me out. Too strong of a fragrance. Will not repurchase. 

10.) Bath and Body Works Gentle Foaming Hand Soap in Fresh Picked Pear
Really enjoy the foam hand soaps from Bath and Body Works. I find them to be more moisturizing than a lot other hand soaps. It's always fun to try different fragrances. Also, I make sure to stock up during a good sale.

11.) Frutique Papaya Enzyme Exfoliating Gel
Mehh.."ok" stuff. Just didn't feel like it did anything beneficial to my skin
  
12.) Dove Invigorating Dry Shampoo
This is a great, dry shampoo.  It also doesn't leave that horrid white cast on your hair. Love the smell.

 13.TRESemme Healthy Volume Conditioner
Great stuff! One of my all-time favorite conditioners with a cheap price. My only gripe is the scent, a horrible smells like chemicals. yuck!

14.)Pantene Restore Beautiful Legth Conditioner
I though this would be great, since I'm currently growing out my hair but nope. This stuff was horrible. I think this stuff was making my hair break off! 

15.) MAC Studio Fix Fluid in NW13
Love this stuff! NW13 is a perfect match! 

16.) MAC Studio Fix Powder in NW20
Love this stuff also! I go a shade darker in the powder, so my face doesn't look so ghostly. 

17.)Revlon Colorstay Under Eye Concealer 
 I saw a girl use this and thought it looked great, so I bought it. I just didn't think it did the job for me. I thought it was "OK" but I'm currently using products that not only cover dark circles but really bright up the under eye area.

18.) Clean and Clear Advantage Mark Treatment
Too much alcohol and it didn't really help with my breakout.

19.) Clean and Clear Advantage Popped Pimple Relief Drying Paste
Basically a clay face mask in a 8 dollar tiny bottle, It dried up inside before I could even use up all the product. Nope, I won't buy again.


20.) Clearasil Vanishing Acne Treatment Cream
I like this, I do think it helps with my acne. I do prefer their tinted acne treatment. 

21.) Lush Big Shampoo (Sample Size)
Loved this stuff. Great fragrance and left my scalp feeling amazing. Pretty pricey stuff though.  Will pick up the full size, when I can afford to splurge. =)
