August 2015 Binned Things
Look at this teeny pile of trash! Not quite up to my usual standards, but alas, what can you do? Here's what I went through last month.
1) Dirty Works Coconut Body Butter - See full review here.
Repurchase? Probably
2) Neutrogena Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover - See full review here.
Repurchase? For when I have makeup that won't budge
3) Clairol Herbal Essences Honey I'm Strong Shampoo - A decent shampoo for my tresses.
Repurchase? Maybe
4) Listerine Antiseptic Mouthwash with Fluoride - Mouthwashes are a staple, but this one was a little too spicy for me.
Repurchase? Only when the other flavours aren't available
5) Anatomicals You and Your Incessant Digs Bath Salts - Great scent, but didn't do much for my aches and pains. It could have just been the overwhelmingness of the aches and pains, though!
Repurchase? If it's on special
6) Natio Spa Heavenly Hand Cream - I wasn't won over by this hand cream. It was a little too meh for my taste.
Repurchase? No
7) Biore Self Heating One Minute Mask - You would have seen this one as part of my empties before! Heats up, cleans out, just awesome
Repurchase? Yup!
8) Etude House I Need You, Job's Tears! Facial Mask - Not one of my favourite masks from them in that it didn't do much for my skin
Repurchase? No
9) Marc Jacobs Lipstick in Role Play - My all time favourite nude!
Repurchase? Yes, yes, yes!
10) Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair - Really enjoyed using this! I thought it made a difference to my skin.
Repurchase? Yes
11) Jurlique Rose Moisture Plus Moisturising Cream - I really liked the rosy scent of this face cream and how it felt on my skin. Very luxe, just gorgeous!
Repurchase? Yes
12) Anatomicals Bergamot and Green Ginger Body Butter - This went on smoothly and had a great scent. Really liked it!
Repurchase? Yes
13) Swisspers Make-Up Pads - I thought I'd give this a go, considering that I wanted to try something new, but it left fluffy bits on my skin.
Repurchase? No
14) OPI by Sephora Black Crackle - This has dried up and I figured that there wouldn't be any use in putting polish thinner into the bottle.
Repurchase? Loved it, but faddy, so no
15) L'Oreal Infallible Foundation in Golden Beige 140 - If you want all day foundation that doesn't look cakey, this is your girl!
Repurchase? Yes!
16) Montagne Jeunesse Manuka Honey Peel Off Mask - A fun and not too sticky face mask that's easy to use without being an issue at removal time.
Repurchase? Yes
17) Elf Tone Correcting Powder - Not the best for hold, so not a great one for Summer.
Repurchase? No
18) Charles Worthington Intense Rescue Melting Balm - See full review here. A great one to pop on while waiting for the face mask to kick in.
Repurchase? Likely
19)The Face Shop Mini Pet Floral Hand Cream - See full review here. Cute, and while fun, not the richest for my prone to dry skin.
Repurchase? No
20) Sasy n Savy Vitamin Enriched Facial Recover Mask - A nice gentle mask for when your skin needs a little something quiet.
Repurchase? Perhaps
21) Innisfree Jeju Peach Hand Cream - Lovely peach scented hand cream with a moderately thick consistency. I really enjoyed using this one!
Repurchase? Yes
22) SK-II Facial Treatment Mask - Disappointingly, much like with the essence itself, I didn't find this to do much for my skin.
Repurchase? No
And of course, we finish with the little empties! I really enjoyed the thickening tonic by Aveda, as well as the La Roche Posay vials and the Bath and Body Works Sea Island Cotton Body Lotion, not to mention Helping Hands by Lush.
What did you chuck out last month?
I think you did quite well with your empties!! Love the Jurlique Rose face cream which I bought again on the weekend. I like the Natio hand cream in the orange tube better than this one. Funny that you don't like the Swisspers makeup rounds as they are the ones I only use haha.

That is funny! You should try the Woolies ones and let me know what you think!
DeleteI still can't believe you finished a lippie, and I swear it wasn't long when I saw a post about you buying it!
ReplyDeleteI might have actually eaten a lot of this one!
DeleteYour idea of a small amount of empties is completely different to mine! You've done amazing to empty so many products!
ReplyDeleteHaha! Thanks!
DeleteI really like EL ANR too! Great job on the empties! Especially a lipstick!!
ReplyDeleteThat's the hardest part!
DeleteWow you used up a lot! I threw out a lot this month but not all of it was empty - http://lenatalksbeauty.com/september-empties-2015/
ReplyDeleteSometimes you just have to do a clear out, though!
DeleteThis seems like a lot of empties to me! I love the Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair. I had a sample of this and have put a full sized one on my Christmas wish list.
ReplyDeleteNicely done!
