may empties & makeup graveyard

hi guys! it's empties time~! it's mostly skincare this time, and a few makeup things. ~Lin-chan ^.~
  1. sonia kashuk eye makeup remover
  2. holika holika pig nose blackhead mask
  3. maybelline matte + poreless foundation in 120
  4. simple cleansing wipes x2
  5. tony moly my little pet eye patches
  6. parian spirit
  7. belif true cream aqua bomb
  8. benefit roller lash mascara
  9. jack black lip balm in natural mint
  10. lorac porefection mattifying primer -- i don't remember if i put this in a previous empties before. prior to this tube, i always liked the deluxe samples of this product. and some time before i bought this tube, i realised that it's more cost effective per ounce to buy this than too faced's primed and poreless.
    repurchase? maybe later
  11. boscia charcoal pore minimizing hydrogel mask -- this was an interesting mask; i really enjoyed the gel texture and consistency of it. this comes saturated in serum (there's a lot left over after pulling the mask out) and it is in two pieces. they cut this mask in a lot of places, in an attempt to custom fit everyone better. unfortunately for me, the nose part was a bit long and wide, so it was awkward in my inner eye area and tip of nose. otherwise, i really enjoyed how well this mask fit and stayed on my face. i'm not really sure i feel like this did anything aside from feeling really nice while wearing... so i'll probably pass on getting another.
    repurchase? nah
  12. estee lauder advanced night repair eye synchronized complex II -- i really enjoyed this eye product, so much so that i redeemed sephora points for another. does it do what it says? i don't really know, lol, but i liked the texture and feel of it.
    repurchase? it's kind of expensive, so probably not
  13. ion moisturizing treatment -- while this did work well as a deep conditioner, the formula was kind of meh, and the packaging was pretty annoying and difficult to dispense toward the end.
    repurchase? nah
  14. tree hut lychee & plum sugar scrub -- i'm not sure if it was just this jar, but the sugar granules were a lot more coarse (larger) than their other scrubs, but not necessarily more effective. scent-wise this was really yummy.
    repurchase? nah
  15. the body shop tea tree oil -- so i'm not sure if this is really any different from tea tree oil from other brands, but i went ahead and got this a long ways back and finally decided to use it. i hate the stopper in this bottle, so i pulled it out and would dip a q-tip into it to apply it. i will say though that it's not avisable to pull the stopper out and travel with the bottle, but i really enjoyed using this and i've already bought a few more!
    repurchase? yes
  16. shea moisture sensitive skin mud mask with peace rose oil complex sample -- you guys know i hate rose oil or rose scented things......this was actually pleasant to use. the rosiness went away within a minute or two and didn't smell like much of anything afterward. after washing it off, my face felt really nice and comfortable afterward.
    repurchase? maybe
    1. sidenote: this was a sample i received from pinchme.com*, where you can get samples for free for your review. and it's just a short survey on their site, no need to blog or anything!
[not pictured]
  1. secret ph balanced deodorant in shower fresh
  2. soap & glory clean on me shower gel
  3. bliss fabulous foaming face wash
  4. skindinavia oil control setting spray

makeup graveyard
  1. em cosmetics lip gloss/lipstick pans -- these came in the various life palette & mini life palettes i've gotten, but these are starting to get pretty gross...so they need tossing.
  2. em cosmetics the great cover up concealer in light neutral/cool -- this ended up going on the backburner and i didn't really use it very much. i'm not sure if part of it was because it wasn't 100% my correct shade.. but this doesn't smell right, so it needs to go too.
