Empties: April 2017

Today I want to share the beauty products that I finished in the past month.



AmorePacific Treatment Cleansing Foam (30mL)
This cleanser contains blue microbeads (apparently containing vitamin E) that I like to burst in my palms with water before applying to my face. This foaming cleanser left my skin feeling a bit dry during the first week of use, after which it just left my skin feeling soft and clean. The formula is scented and this travel size lasted about 3 months. The full size 120mL retails for C$55 and I don't like it enough to repurchase.

Andalou Naturals 1000 Roses Body Lotion (236mL)
I have finished yet another tube of this body lotion. As mentioned in my February Empties, this body lotion has been reformulated and repackaged. I still adore it and I will definitely repurchase.

First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream (2oz)
This was one of my favorite products of 2016 [Read Here]. I usually use this as my morning facial moisturizer, and also as a body lotion when traveling. I like the simplicity of this product and will be repurchasing another tube soon.

Live Clean Coconut Milk Moisturizing Liquid Hand Soap (500mL)
I have been using the Live Clean hand soaps consistently for two years now and the Coconut Milk scent is my absolute favorite from the brand. I highly recommend this hand soap for a gentle cleanse.

Nexxus Therappe Shampoo and Humectress Conditioner (89mLx2)
I received this duo as bonus items in my September 2016 Topbox. They didn't deliver any memorable results and thus I don't think I would repurchase.

Today I want to share the beauty products that I used up this month.

Dr. Brandt PoreDermabrasion Pore Perfecting Exfoliator (7.5g) This exfoliant stings a bit when first applied and leaves my skin soft and smooth. However, I don't notice any visible pore minimizing effects, so I won't be purchasing the full size. Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil - Honeysuckle Vanilla (59mL) This feels very luxurious on the skin, but it leaves an oily residue on my palms that lasts for hours. I have to wash my hands before I can get any stuff done. I won't be repurchasing, but I don't mind using this if I have it. L'Erbolario Lodi 3 Rosa Body Cream (30mL) I picked up this travel size body lotion in Rome. The texture is light and the scent is lovely. I am definitely interested in checking out more products from this brand. Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Shampoo + Conditioner (2 x 30mL) This combination works best for me as a clarifying once-in-a-while treatment. If I use the pair frequently, my hair becomes very dry and flat. I won't be repurchasing. L'Oreal OleoTherapy Oil Infused Shampoo (250mL) This is my second bottle of this shampoo and I still enjoy using it even though it is not an exceptional product.
