2014 Empties!
I used to track my empties monthly, but last year I decided to put all my empties in to a box and see what I had at the end of the year. I just had a look. Here are my empties for 2014.
Neutrogena Make-Up Remover Cleansing Wipes X 7 – These are my go-to wipes, I’ve been using them for years and have never found anything I like better.
Soap and Glory Off Your Face Cleansing Cloths – These were OK, but not as good as the Neutrogena wipes.
Willa Cleansing Cloths (from Ipsy) – I don’t like these very much, I don’t feel like they removed all of my makeup.
Absolute Make-Up Cleansing Tissues (from Ipsy) - Not a fan, these did not perform well and had a strong scent of alcohol.
Agave Healing Oil Treatment samples (from Birchbox/Sephora) X 2 – Love. I bought a full size of this after trying these samples. It makes my hair nice, soft, and smooth.
Juara Candlenut Body Crème (from Birchbox) – sample size. - LOVE! Thick, creamy, and great for my dry skin. Smells so good. If I ever make it through all my lotions I’ll be ordering a full size of this.
Beauty Protector Protect and Oil deluxe sample (from Birchbox) – It works well and smells great.
Beauty Protector Protect and Detangle deluxe sample (from Birchbox) – Love this. I was able to trade for more and use it every time I wash my hair. This is now part of my regular hair routine.
Briogeo Don’t Despair, Repair Hair Mask deluxe sample (from Ipsy) – I love hair products, but this mask is not my favorite. It made my hair thicker and it felt a bit frizzier.
Eva NYC Therapy Session Hair Mask – travel size. – I like this. I picked up a full size after taking this travel size on vacation.
Bumble and Bumble Straight Blow Dry – travel size. – This is HG status for me. It makes my hair pin straight and it stays that way regardless of humidity. After using up this travel size I picked up a full size.
Ojon Rare Blend Deep Conditioner – travel size. – I barely remember this so it can’t have been that great. A good amount of product is stuck in the tube. I don’t particularly care to take scissors to it to get to the remaining product.
Josie Maran Argan Cleansing Oil – travel size X 2 – I like this, it’s my favorite cleansing oil. (Julep bare face cleansing oil is a close second).
Dior Instant Gentle Cleansing Oil – deluxe sample – This was good but nothing overly special.
Q-Tips – Don’t know why I included them in the pic LOL.
Harvey Prince Hello perfume – rollerball size (from Boxycharm). - I like this fragrance, this was the size of a rollerball but in spray form. This reminds me of another perfume that I can’t quite put my finger on.
Aquolina Pink Sugar perfume – 1.7 oz. – Like this a lot.
Aquolina Pink Sugar Glossy Shower Gel – Like this a lot too.
Aquolina Pink Sugar Creamy Cody Lotion – Like this a lot as well.
Bath and Body Works Orange Freeze shower gel – I had this in my cabinet for years! Glad to have used it up. I like the scent but nothing too special.
Bath and Body Works Twisted Peppermint shower gel – This was also in my cabinet for years. I like the smell.
St. Ives Oatmeal and Shea Butter shower gel – travel size – This feels great on dry skin.
The Body Shop Satsuma shower gel – travel size. – This smells amazing! I will definitely purchase a full size.
Bath and Body Works Paris Amor show gel – travel size. – Don’t love the scent of this one, but it’s OK.

Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunscreen SPF 100 – Great sunscreen, have already re-purchased.
L’Oreal Sublime Sun Advanced Sunscreen SPF 30 – travel size. –Good.
Shiseido Urban Environment Oil Free UV Protector SPF 42 – deluxe sample – Good.
Whish Shave Cream in Acai Grapefruit (from Birchbox) – I like the Whish shave creams for travelling, they are easy to pack. The fragrance and formula is not my favorite, but its fine for my travel bag.
Donna Karan Liquid Cashmere Vial – This smells wonderful. I would like a full size.
Maison Francis Kurkdjian Paris Aqua Universails perfume vial (from Sample Society) – I liked this at first but the novelty wore off after a few wears.
Givency Dahlia Divin perfume vial (from Sample Society) – Love this. It smells so good.

Harvey Prince Cherie Blossom perfume vial (from Birchbox) - Like it.
Equate Regular Nail Polish Remover – Average.
Zoya Remove + nail polish remover – deluxe sample size. - Average
Dove Cool Moisture Body Wash in Cucumber and Green Tea - Nice
The Body Shop Chamomile Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover – travel size – I personally think this works better at removing eye make-up than Lancôme Bi-Facil. I purchased a full size.
Lancôme Bi-Facil eye make-up remover - Like
Lancôme Bi-Facil eye makeup remover – travel sized X 2 – Like.
bareMinerals Instant Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover – This is not good at removing eye make-up, I would not consider repurchasing.
Tarte Pure Maracuja Oil – travel size. I like this a lot, but ultimately I prefer Josie Maran Argan Oil.
Perlier Intensive Nurturing Body Balm in Sweet Almond Milk (from Birchbox) – I LOVE this. My favorite lotion. Love the way it feels and smells. Would like a full size.
Pur-Lisse Hydra Balance Moisturizer – travel size (from Ipsy) – Like this, I have another ready to use.
Harvey Prince Hello Body Cream – travel size (from Birchbox). – Like this just as much as the perfume. It’s a nice fragrance.
