February 2014 Empties

February is almost over, so my spending ban is almost over too! I've done pretty well, as the only things I've bought were necessities and/or replacements (e.g. deodorant). I'll put up a post about that shortly. Anyway, I haven't used up too much this month. The last few empties posts I've done have had quite a few products, so feel free to check those out for your weekly trash fix!

Revlon Colorstay Foundation
Fresca Natural Deodorant (Unscented and Jaisara)
Max Factor Masterpiece Mascara
LA Girl Pro Concealer
Kerastase Nutritive Irisome Shampoo & Conditioner samples

Revlon Colorstay
I didn't want to throw this away. In fact, I'm heart broken to do so...it's half full! But I fear that it may have become contaminated with bacteria (as I used it before I found out what happened to my face), so I think it's safest to chuck it out. I've never finished a full bottle of foundation and was determined to use this one up...maybe next time! I've repurchased this off Ebay because this has since been reformulated, and the new formula doesn't sound like what I want.

Fresca Natural Deodorant
A while ago when I was having major underarm issues (super itchy all the time), I swapped over to natural deodorant. While it did help with the itching, it didn't eliminate the problem. These were okay, but they are more like a perfume roll on to mask any odour, so they don't stop you sweating...which is a bit unpleasant at times. Since I stopped shaving my underarms and switched over to epilating them, the problem has completely dissapeared, so I do not feel compelled to stick with natural deodorants as I prefer stock standard anti-persipirants. I wouldn't repurchase, but I guess they're an okay product for what they are.

Max Factor Masterpiece Mascara
This was a sample I got from somewhere and I really loved it. It was probably one of the better mascaras I've used. I would like to repurchase it one day.

LA Girl Pro Concealer
Same story as the foundation. Probably contaminated, better off in the bin. I found a discount store that sells them, but I couldn't get the exact shade I wanted...so I had to go a tad darker. This is a great concealer with rave reviews (check MakeUpAlley if you don't believe me!) but I really want to buy the right shade!

Kerastase Shampoo & Conditioner
I got these sample sachets from Pinch Me. I only got one use out of them but my hair seemed to like them as it was pretty soft and shiny afterwards. Disliked the smell though, it smells exactly like cheapo bar soap in public toilets...eeek. Maybe I'll look into another range of theirs.

So those are my empties of the month! Have you tried any of these products?

February Empties

I hope everyone has had a great month! My month has been busy and tiring, but mostly a good month. Here are my empties...


Elizabeth Arden Splendor Perfume

Simple Cleansing Facial Wipes
China Glaze Metallic Crackle polish 'Haute Metal'
Rimmel Extra Super Lash

Elizabeth Arden perfume
I've never bought myself a perfume. I always receive them as gifts. This one is almost used up, but it has passed its expiry date of 3 years so it smells funky! While it was a nice smelling perfume, it wasn't anything unique or super special. Would I repurchase? No, I have plenty of other perfumes to use!

Simple cleansing wipes
They do an okay job of removing makeup, smell fresh and are soft to use. I generally chop and change when it comes to facial wipes and just buy whatever is cheapest!

China Glaze crackle polish
This looks full because it is...it's being chucked out though because it dried up and is unusable. Quite sad really, I've only had it for about a year and used it maybe 2-3 times. It is gorgeous when applied so I might consider buying a different shade from the collection. They are pretty cheap so I can live with the fact that they dry up so fast.

Rimmel mascara
Aw, my trusty mascara has been used up. This is one of my favourites and I've been using it for years (not the same tube of course!). It gives volume, thickness and I get compliments on how nice my lashes look when I use it. I have not repurchased this, simply because I was lured in by the $10 Covergirl Clump Crusher deal. Don't worry Rimmel, I'll be back. 

What have you used up this month?
