Empties & What I'm Using Now (Beauty)

 Hey Y'all!

I thought I'd share my recent empties, if you like content like this I'll put it in the rotation. I'd probably have enough to make up a blog quarterly (every 3mo). It takes me a while to get through a product!

The empties:

Profusion Juicy Lip Tint, $4 USD each. I love this product and as soon as I'm out of the one I'm using now I'll probably repurchase this. I've raved about it on the blog before. The only negatives are, the applicator is a bit large, and mine started to leak after awhile. I don't know if this was a product issue, or a storage issue, but I keep a lip balm in the car so I didn't have to worry about traveling with them.

*Photo from website, I forgot to take a pic of the Lip Tint empties before throwing them away. With exception of my empties pic below all other's are stock photos.*

The rest of this month's empties!

Hair Food Manuka Honey & Apricot Conditioner, $8 USD. I really liked this when my hair was first coming back in. Now it's a bit thick, and heavy for me. We have had a really warm December so far, but as Winter sets in and it dries out I may try it out again.

Supergoop! Defense Refresh Setting Mist, $30 USD. (Mine was a different packaging *see picture above*, same product.) I love this product, and have mentioned it several times before. It's already been repurchased, but isn't what I'm currently using. I love the non-scented, non-sticky SPF coverage.

Amika: SoulFood Nourishing Mask,  $16-$42 USD. I have always loved amika products, ever since my sister bought me this one Christmas. (My hair is long enough to use it again now too!!) I have already got a back up of the hair mask. My favorite product of theirs however, is the dry shampoo.

Bliss Micro Magic (Microdermabrasion Scrub) $15 USD. This was especially nice at the time my skin was going crazy during (and immediately after) chemo. I like that the "grit" was very fine, and it didn't have much of a scent. The only drawback was the tube was sometimes hard to get product out of.

Would I repurchase? Have I?

I would, for all these. They all worked really well for me. (Things usually get passed along to friends/family if they don't work for me.)

Have I repurchased any of them? Yes, both the Amika Hair Mask, and the Supergoop!

What I'm using now in place of:

Profusion Juicy Lip Tint~

LA Colors Lip Oil, from Dollar Tree. (Local to me they are still $1 USD) This is a bit thin, and doesn't last quite as long as other lip oils, but it's a good product, especially for $1. They also have a Lip Oil on their website for $3.50 but I've not tried it.

Hair Food~ 

As I Am Leave in Conditioner, $10 USD.  I've had it awhile and I'm just trying to work through it, it's a good product, but not my favorite. I use it about twice a week, and it does a great job, and I like the scent. I don't know why I don't love it, but when I put another option in the shower I quit reaching for this.

Supergoop!~

E.L.F. Matte Magic Mist & Set, $5 USD. Does Setting Spray go bad? I'm not sure, but that's why I'm currently using the elf. I've had it for awhile, and it's a quick to use up product. I'd prefer to use it up in the winter months when there's less outside activities going on (and less sunshine in general). I've used this setting mist before and I do like it, I just like the ones with SPF more. This one feels a bit like hairspray for the face, and that's not my favorite feel/scent. I'll switch back to Supergoop in the Spring.

Amika~ Using the same mask, but not as often since I'm using the leave-in.

Bliss~ Haven't repurchased anything in this category.  Once a week or so I've been using Hubby's "Man Wash" (Dove) but it's too gritty for me, and smells like a forest, which isn't my preference. I'm sure he'll appreciate me getting my own soon.

Have a great day,
