EMPTIES | January 2020

January 2020 makeup, skincare, and haircare empties and reiews
It's been a while since my last post so I thought I would ease in with one of my favorite posts to write about: empties! With what's going on in the world right now, I have time to devote to this space and also, I wanted to reconnect with y'all! So, let's get started with what I used up in the month of January.

EMPTIES | January to March 2019 Skincare Empties

Welcome back to part two of my empties series for the months of January to March! Part one covered all the makeup items I finished, so check that out if you're interested in reading my thoughts on various concealers, setting sprays, and eyebrows pencils. But for now, let's discuss my skincare empties.

EMPTIES | January to March 2019 Makeup Empties & Declutters

Hello internet! It's been a very long time since my last post (July 2018!) but to be fair, I haven't been blogging consistently for a couple years now. Life has been hectic for me, both good and bad. But I think I'll save that for another post because I've been saving all these beauty empties for months! It's definitely time to jot down my thoughts on these items and find a good way to recycle them. Here's a quick glance at all the makeup I used up from January to March of this year:
Lorac Behind the Scenes Eye Primer (not CF) $23 usd for 0.52 oz--   Milani Brow Shaping Clear Gel (CF) discontinued --  Etude House Drawing Eye Brow (not CF) $3.50usd for 0.008oz --  Benefit Goof Proof Brow Pencil (not CF) $24 usd for 0.01oz/0.003oz --  e.l.f. Eye Lash Curler (CF) $2usd --  Tarte Picture Perfect Duo (CF) $18 usd --   Tarte Maracuja Creaseless Concealer (CF) repackaged --  Makeup Revolution Conceal & Define Full Coverage Concealer in 6.5 (CF) $7usd for 0.14 oz--  Make Up For Ever Excessive Lash (not CF) $25 usd for 0.28 oz/0.08oz --  Tarte Clean Slate Flawless 12hr Brightening Primer (CF) discontinued 0.25 oz--  Dr. Jart Dis A Pore Beauty Balm (not CF) discontinued 0.2 oz--  YSL Touche Éclat Blur Primer (not CF) $52 usd for 1 oz/0.33oz --   Milani Makeup it Last Setting Spray (CF) $9.99 usd for 2.03 fl oz --   NYX Dewy Finish Setting Spray (CF) $8.50 usd for 2.02 fl oz --  Catrice Prime and Fine Multitalent Fixing Spray (CF) $7.99 usd for 1.69 fl oz --   NARS Satin Lip Pencil in Rikugien (not CF) $27usd for 0.07 oz --  Fusion Beauty LipFusion InFATuation Liquid Plumping Lipstick in Full Frontal
There's just so many products to talk about so I'm dividing the posts into makeup, skincare, and finally hair and body. I threw in my declutters at the end of this blog post since most of them were makeup, sadly.

EMPTIES | March 2017

March 2017 makeup and skincare empties
Happy Monday everyone! The Monday blues are nowhere to be seen here and with the sunshine, I feel so uplifted. I've been hoarding these empties for a while now so to justify my pack-rat tendencies, let's write about them! This was a slow month for me but I did finish a few full-sized items.

EMPTIES | February 2017

 So I don't remember which month I finished all the products but I'm going to go in order to keep a semblance of order. I'm slowly working through all the photos I have so bear with me as I catch up. Besides that little hiccup, let's get into the products I'd repurchase and which ones I'd pass.

EMPTIES | December 2016 & January 2017

December and January 2016 Empties and review

I've been holding onto my empties for over a year now so to justify my hoarding, I've decided to write about them. As I write this, it's Valentine's Day and what better way to end the night with some blogging about what I loved and what I didn't?

Now that those are out of the way, I can finally put all my ideas down and into the blog! Starting off with my October and November empties, I wanted to share this before it adds up. I've even finished some makeup products, which is always exciting. So let's talk about which ones I'd repurchase and which ones I'm glad are gone.

September has gone by so quickly that I feel like I have whip lash. I've been focusing on using up my stash instead of buying things so I feel quite proud of the empty products I've amassed. As I continue to clean up my collection, I'm throwing out things that have gone off or just don't make me feel happy, because what is makeup for if not to make me feel good about myself? Anyhoo, let's get into the details!

EMPTIES | August 2016

august 2016 monthly empties, makeup, skincare, body care
 August was a productive month for me as I finally tackled my collection. I went through every item, tossing the bad stuff and organizing the pretties that was still useable. I've been documenting my progress through my Destashing Project, so click on the link to see what makeup I'm keeping and which I'm saying goodbye to. I didn't finish every item in here but most of them have gone bad so I want to clear them out. So without further ado, let's get into the products!

 I posted a June Empties a couple of posts back but I wanted to be on time, so here's another one! I have tons of stuff on its last legs so August will probably be busy too.

 Hello everyone! Long time no blog...and it's getting repetitive. The long and short of it is that I am going through some tough family issues that pretty much suck all the happiness out of my life. I'm not a crier but I've broken down twice this week. Instead of moping around and feeling sorry for myself, I decided to return to the things I love, mainly blogging and makeup. So, I'm starting my return with a June empties post, even though it's the middle of July, haha. I'm not the most consistent when it comes to blogging these days but bonus points for being unconventional?

I can't believe this is the first empties post of 2016 and the year is half over, naughty blogger...If you've been through traumatic events, you know what I'm talking about. Your normal routine disappears, self-care becomes survival mode and hobbies goes out the window. But this post is not about that so I'll talk you through the products I will repurchase until the end of time and the products I'd run the other way from.

First off, I'd like to apologize for the blurry photos. I was in a rush to get these pictures because I had a family commitment to attend. When I got back, my mom had already tossed my trash.

EMPTIES | April 2015 ♥


It's that time of the month where I share what items I finished up. April was particularly slow for me but I went through 15 items! A lot of them are even full sized #proud. We'll start with makeup since this is a makeup blog after all ;) May is probably going to be a slower month since I'm currently focused on finals and such but we'll see.

EMPTIES┊October and November 2014 ♥

I've been trying to be diligent and use up products every month to cut down my stash. I didn't post an October Empties but I did use up a few things during that time (15 to be exact). November was a bit slower but 12 items isn't so bad! December might be a bit smaller as I'm running out of products that are almost done but we'll see how it goes. I still have 22 days to sort that out :D
october empties, batiste dry shampoo in fresh, cvs advanced nail polish remover, secret outlast unscented gel deodorant, aveeno daily moisturizer spf 15, simple pleasure shower gel in midnight blossom,  ahava dead sea minerals body lotion

EMPTIES┊August & September 2014 ♡

I didn't post an August empties so I decided to combine two months' worth of empty products. There's a lot of items to go through so I'll cut to the chase now! I mis-numbered the items so I actually have 16 products, not 17 but just ignore that little flub ^_^

empties, review, pssst! Dry shampoo, tory burch fragrance, versace yellow diamond perfume
