over 3 months of empties, makeup graveyard, and a hit pan!

hi guys! it took me a bit to get this post up...sorry about that! between work stress, and new video games, 😊 the blog went on the back burner....annnnd i had several items that were on their way out and just decided to wait and do one massive empties post. over 3.5 months worth!😱 anyway, i apologize in advance for not remembering feelings on certain items..because well, it's been a while, lol! ~Lindsay
ALL. of. the. sheet masks!
  1. tony moly tea tree (x6)
  2. tony moly red wine
  3. tony moly tako pore nose packs (x2)
  4. tony moly 3 step strawberry nose pack
  5. peace out acne dots (x2 = 1 box)
  6. sephora collection shea lip mask
  7. ulta lip mask cranberry & pomegranate -- if i remember right, this didn't even fit properly..or maybe it didn't even stay..? something like that. i couldn't keep it on for the entire time it suggested and didn't get any benefit from it.
    repurchase? no
  8. life of beauty tiger grass & tea tree oil (x2) -- while i liked this, i think i'll keep buying the tea tree & honey one.
    repurchase? nah
  9. life of beauty tea tree & honey (x4) -- this smells soooo good! you can smell both the tea tree and honey while wearing this mask. i definitely think that this has helped my skin recently!
    repurchase? yes! (at walmart)
  10. masqueology watermelon moisurizing glow -- this was a suuuper bright pink color, like the color of watermelon.. but, i wasn't a fan of this one. i can't recall if it was the scent or how freakin saturated and dripping it was.. anyway, it was ok.
    repurchase? nah
  11. garnier moisture bomb (x2) -- to be honest, i don't fully remember these all that well. i think i did like them though.
    repurchase? maybe
  12. elf hydrating water -- i'm not sure if these are available in stores that sell elf yet, but i didn't think it was worth my time. like it felt nice on, but i was pretty indifferent after using it.
    repurchase? no
  13. elf hydrogel under eye masks -- same as the sheet mask, are these in stores yet? these were just ok.
    repurchase? no
  14. patchology flashpatch restoring night eye gels -- these were also only ok, if i remember right. i think i have at least 1 more set left...
    repurchase? no
  15. patchology exfoliate flashmasque -- i really liked this one! my skin felt great afterward and i believe it did it's job as far as the exfoliation!
    repurchase? yes
  16. soo ae tea tree -- how many times have i put this one into empties and not remembered my thoughts? probably should just stop buying them, lol!
    repurchase? nah
  17. soo ae brightening peeling gel -- i can't recall how i felt about this one either. i want to say that it felt nice on and peeled off nicely, but as far as a brightening aspect, i don't remember...
    repurchase? nah
  18. earth therapeutics tea tree (x2) -- i got these in a pack from kohls..of all places. anyway, these are ok, and try everyone's tea tree masksssss!
    repurchase? nah
  19. leaders pore gone for good -- i really don't remember this mask aside from the fact that i liked it. sorry! >.<
    repurchase? yes
other skincare!
  1. simple cleansing wipes (x4)
  2. the body shop tea tree oil (x2)
  3. bioderma sensibio
  4. glamglow supermud
  5. estee lauder advanced night repair eye
  6. biore baking soda pore cleanser
  7. clinique ddm gel
  8. clinique clarifiying lotion 3
  9. clinique take the day off -- while i like this product, i don't know if it's my absolute favorite. it does get the job done with reasonable effort and doesn't burn my eyes.
    repurchase? undecided
  10. sonia kashuk eye makeup remover -- so, is there a story about these, because i would like an explanation as to why the best eye drugstore bi-phase makeup remover is no longer sold. 😡
  11. lancome bi-facil eye makeup remover -- so you know how i was all like, i don't like rose scented things... this is an exception because this stuff works amazing. pretty pricey as far as how frequently you'd need to repurchase, but still really good.
    repurchase? yes
  12. the ordinary. salicylic acid 2% solution -- this is pretty good! super inexpensive for an OTC product, this is like $5!
    repurchase? yes
  13. kate somerville exfolikate -- you guys. i love this stuff. for a while, i was hoarding sample packets of this because it's so freakin expensive. this is the most abrasive exfoliant ever but super gratifying.
    repurchase? undecided
  14. clean & clear acne triple clear bubble foam cleanser -- while this worked well and didn't irritate my skin, it wasn't a replacement for my usual product.
    repurchase? nah
hair, body, misc. (pretty sure i'm missing some deodorant sticks and shave gels, but you can look at previous posts for those. still using my usual.)
  1. neutrogena [clear] shampoo
  2. aussie 3 minute miracle moist
  3. aveeno daily moisturizing yogurt body wash in vanilla and oats
  4. tree hut sugar scrubs in coconut lime, almond & honey
  5. tone body wash in blissful awakening
  6. tone body wash in island vibes -- i'm not one for florals, but i liked this one a lot. maybe the pineapple helped balance the scent a bit?
    repurchase? yes
  7. tree hut sugar scrub in lemon blueberry tart -- this scent is so weird. like it's good but it's weird! it's just like a delicious lemon blueberry pie, spot on in the container. but when you go to use it in a tub full of other stuff (bath bombs, etc) it smells strange.
    repurchase? nah
  8. jergens natural glow daily moisturizer in fair to medium -- i'm not one for self tanners, but i really like this lotion a lot. it gives a nice gradual tan type of look that isn't fake looking.
    repurchase? yes!
  9. it's skin cookie & body ice cream in strawberry -- this smells like strawberry pockey. yuuum.
    repurchase? yes
  10. candles by victoria - create a scent (lovin lemon & garden mint) -- i was hoping this combo would be like a certain store in the mall's lemon mint leaf, but this was wayyy off. i kind of wish i'd gotten the two in scent shots and tried melting them together before committing to a full candle.
  11. fekkai blowout hair refresher -- i don't remember thoughts on this one. spraying what little is left of this, it smells very hair spray like.
    repurchase? nah
  12. john frieda frizz ease secret weapon touch-up creme -- i bought this a looong long time ago and didn't use it right away. after i started working, i'd used it almost daily to smooth out the frizz in the mornings. less than 3 years later, i finally finished it!
    repurchase? yes
  13. nexxus keraphix shampoo & conditioner -- i really like how these make my hair feel and they have a nice scent.
    repurchase? yes
  14. nexxus keraphix treatment masque -- this packet lasted me like 2-3 treatments, which was nice. i don't recall if this has the same scent as the shampoo and conditioner, but my hair felt real nice after using it.
    repurchase? yes
  15. it's a 10 miracle leave-in plus keratin -- yall. how long ago did i say my aunt bought me this in a twin pack? because this is made in florida, i guess they do those amazing value bundles for like $45 for this size (just $5 more than the cost of one bottle!!). anyway, between using other hair products here and there, i finally use this up. like three years later..practically. so crazy!
    repurchase? it'll be a while as i work through bottle #2
  16. luxe by mr. bubble meltaways bath candies in sweet & clean -- unfortunately, i don't remember what i thought about these. i think i added them in with a bath bomb or something, so i probably wouldn't have noticed the difference. i do remember being kind of indifferent about the scent.
    repurchase? nah
  17. onyx bathhouse bath bombs in omg a unicorn & mermaid life -- these were at walmart and they were whatever. they barely fizzed away and i ended up crushing them up with impatience. the scents were only ok.
    repurchase? no
  18. hallu unicorn bath bomb -- this was also at walmart and it was pretty good. but that's about all i remember about it.. i liked it.
    repurchase? yes
  19. fizz & bubble unicorn swirl bath bomb -- this was underwhelming, but still nice. i don't recall how else i felt about it..
    repurchase? nah
  20. sol de janeiro bum bum bath bomba -- this is a really expensive one. $10 a pop...but so worth it. i really advise getting it during sephora sales for as low as $8 each. the bath is sooo nice and moisturizing, the scent is just like the bum bum cream.
    repurchase? yes!
makeup empties & a hit pan!
  1. benefit cosmetics hoola lite
  2. rimmel london stay matte in transluscent
  3. it cosmetics bye bye under eye corrector in light
  4. it cosmetics brow power
  5. skindinavia oil control makeup setting spray
  6. estee lauder double wear light in intensity 2.0
  7. fenty beauty foundation in 140
  8. maybelline fit me matte+poreless in 120
  9. maybelline baby skin primer
  10. maybelline master camo green concealer -- as my first green concealer to try, this was pretty good. it is on the thinner side, but i don't think you really want it thick anyway or it'd look strange. this was really easy to blend. a couple gripes are the packaging. i don't like the fuzzy tip for hygienic reasons, and twist ups are always annoying, especially if you can't see inside to know how much is left.
    repurchase? nah
  11. parian spirit -- i knew this was a great product for spot cleaning because this is like my 3rd bottle now? but it wasn't until recently that i actually read the label and it removes laytex. i recently was being crafty and using something that was laytex based and ended up gunking up the brush i was using. granted i used a throw-away type brush, but i was curious how it'd help remove all the dried laytex from the bristles that got stuck together real funky. and it really worked. the brush is completely reusable now!
  12. sigma sigmagic brush shampoo -- i think i had this in a favorites or items that surprised me post or something a ways back..? anyway, this is still a decent brush and sponge cleaner, but it's just as easy to use a bar of soap to clean sponges and brushes....
    repurchase? undecided
  13. kat von d liquid lipstick in bow n arrow -- i love this shade a lot. so much so that the studded kiss lipstick in this shade will likely be gone before i know it!
    repurchase? yes
  14. elf blemish control primer -- a primer with salicylic acid in it? please and thank you!
    repurchase? yes
  15. it cosmetics superhero liner -- this was a very nice liner. i'm not 100% sure if i'd say it's at the same level as kvd tattoo liner, but it's close and lasted me all day.
    repurchase? yes
  16. em cosmetics matte gel pencil eyeliner -- i really really liked this liner a lot more than i feel i should. it's on par with the it cosmetics no tug eyeliner!
    repurchase? yes
  17. urban decay 24/7 liner in smog -- i can't recall if it was the eyeshadow in smog or the liquid liner that i loved a lot first, but when i saw that this came in pencil format, i had to get it!
    repurchase? yes!
  18. urban decay eyeshadow in tonic -- i hit pannn! i love this shade!
makeup graveyard
i'm not going to list out everything that's in this photo, but the lipsticks are the biggest disappointments. mostly because yes, they don't really last as long as other products, but....it feels like just yesterday i got the mac star trek lipstick...and it's getting gross. some of the others here are looking and smelling off, and i'm soooo glad i have backups of revlon's brazillian tan, this one is just old. and i think i had these two mascaras for too long before i started using them. there's still a decent bit left in them but they weren't performing as well as if they were brand new ones, and they're starting to smell off.. so that's why i threw them in this grouping instead. both of these are very good and i plan to repurchase whenever my mascara backlog is gone.
