Beauty | Empties #4


Here we are again, with another set of empties. Somehow I ended up with the nice, even amount of 10 products! It's the little things, people, that make me happy. 

This product is designed specifically for blonde hair and to help bring out the natural highlights. It's also supposed to help prevent blonde hair from turning brassy and from residue developing. I don't feel like it did really anything, and the smell is terrible. It smells pretty much like you're rinsing your hair with vinegar. Which would be totally fine if it did anything.

This day cream helps to protect against all sorts of environmental damage; made with an infusion of chlorella growth factor and gotu kola stem cells. I don't really know what any of that means, but what I do know is that this stuff is the bomb. It smells great, it locks in moisture all day long, firms up your skin and evens out skin tone. This day cream is a big, fat win in the book of Es.

Basically this is the off-brand version of Neutrogena. It's not impressive, but it did clean my face...I think?

The makers of the product contacted me after my review went up and apologized for my lack of results. I understand that not every product can work for every type of person and I was never mad about my lack of results, just disappointed. Because who doesn't want nice, thick, full, beautiful eyelashes?

A glorious exfoliater that I use weekly all over my body. This is my favorite scent from The Body Shop and this is one of my favorite products. Can't recommend this enough and it lasts for months and months! 

This is a mineral based, UVA and UVB blocking beauty balm. It works as both a sunscreen and a primer, along with lots of other benefits. This stuff is as smooth as silk; plus it leaves a perfect matte finish on your skin. I was highly impressed, but the price is a bit higher than I would usually spend. But I'm not saying that I won't.

With relaxing lavender, vanilla and chamomile this body wash is an absolute must have to help relax at the end of the day. Since I shower at night, this stuff works it's magic right before I climb into bed. I almost always have some version of the Sleep line in my shower or on my nightstand - it's an absolute must have for me.

This perfume is described as an "energizing, juicy scent" which makes it sound way less appealing than it actually is. I'm not a big perfume person, but I LOVED this stuff. It smelled sweet and fresh but without being overbearing. As soon as I save up enough Birchbox points I will be purchasing the full size.

I got this sample size with a conditioner purchase. It was super moisturizing and is definitely something I would purchase in full size in the dry, winter months.

My hair tends to be on the dry side, but in order for this stuff to work I felt like I had to spray about a million and twelve sprays. Wasn't worth it for me, personally. But I do have LOTS of hair. Like, LOTS.

  2. The B&BW sounds heavenly, and I really enjoyed a Klorane shampoo sample from Birchbox...I think it was mango scented.

    1. I have really enjoyed every other Klorane product I have ever used, so I was surprised that I wasn't a fan of this one.
