Hi guys!
Have you ever heard of “empties” videos on Youtube?
If you haven’t, jaunt on over to the Youtubes and check out a couple of the lovely and fun Leigh Ann of +leighannsays Empties videos. I’ll be here when you get back, no worries.
…
Anyways…(I apologize for my attempts at humor). Empties are a special type of review that shows just how much you like a product because you actually used all of it. How often does that happen?
Anyways here is a look at the beauty related items that I have used up recently and my thoughts on them!
SKIN
Walgreens Brand Aveeno Skin Relief Body Wash with Natural Oatmeal
Thoughts?
This was the body wash I used for most of the winter. It helped out with some of the dryness that I was dealing with at the time although I think it was my moisturizer that did most of the heavy lifting. There is practically no scent which I was into at the time.
Repurchase?
Probably not. There are tons of different options out there that I want to test out

Banana Boat Summer Color Self-Tanning Lotion in Deep Dark Color and Light/Medium Color
Thoughts?
I LOVE this self tanner. It is the only one which hasn’t left me streaky or smelly. I have gushed more about this in several other posts but yes, great stuff. And even better for it’s drugstore price!
Repurchase?
Yes and Yes.
I already have a fresh bottle on the go and will be needing to repurchase again pretty shortly.

St. Ives Naturally Soothing Body Lotion in Oatmeal and Shea Butter
Thoughts?
This was a wonderful lotion for the winter! I used this on my entire body but I really think that it helped my legs loads in the winter when they were really dry. This would keep my moisturized all day when every other lotion couldn’t make it 12 hours. The smell wasn’t overpowering either.
Repurchase?
Yes!
I will repurchase St. Ives but in a different scent. This is great for the winter when my legs are reptilian but a little heavy for the summer time. Right now I am using spray on Palmers

Pond’s Rejuveness Anti-Wrinkle Cream
Thoughts?
I didn’t notice any drastic changes because I don’t have wrinkles just yet. I would use this alternating with my other nighttime face lotions during the winter. I only got this because I was on a trip and needed form travel size face lotion and this was the first one I saw…
Repurchase?
Not at the moment. Maybe in the future for precautionary tactics?

CeraVe PM Face Lotion
Thoughts?
My dermatologist gave me this sample to test out and so far so good. Yes, I cut off the top so I can get every last drop out of this itty bity baby sample. It’s part of who I am.
Repurchase?
Yes, I am going to go out and purchase the full size of this product. Pricy for the drugstore but I think it will be worth it.

HAIR
Organix Thick and Full Biotin and Collagen Conditioner
Thoughts?
This is a pretty good product for thin or fine hair like mine. I have gone through several bottles of this exact shampoo and conditioner set. I always run out of the conditioner first thought. Does that happen to anyone else? So annoying! My OCD demands that the ratios be the same!
Repurchase?
Probably but I want to test out something different first.
Any suggestions? I need some new ideas for volumizing conditioner

Batiste Dry Shampoo in Floral and Flirting Blush scent
Thoughts?
This is by far the best dry shampoo that I have tried and I have tried out tons of different brands. It is also necessary in my life because I have greasy oily limp fine hair (enough adjectives for you?) I use dry shampoo every morning or night so that I can skip a day between washing my hair. This scent isn’t bad but the “fresh” and “original” are my favorite scents
Repurchase?
Yes!
I already got several more bottles from TJMaxx the last time I was there. Every time that I go there, I stock pile whatever I can get my hands on.

Target Brand Listerine Antiseptic Fresh Burst
Thoughts?
I honestly am just proud that I used up this entire bottle by myself! It is just your plain ol’ minty mouth wash and I like it. Makes my breath smell minty fresh.
Repurchase?
Not yet. I had a deal on a different whitening kind that I am using now but I will probably get more soon-ish.

Crest 3D White Toothpaste in Radiant Mint
Thoughts?
I am really picky with toothpaste and this is the only one I will use. Call me high maintenance but this one is the best whitening toothpaste I have ever used and, again, I have tried a ton of them.

NAILS
Nail Polish Remover with Gelatin
Thoughts?
Nothing fancy about store brand nail polish remover. It has acetone so it gets the job done pretty quickly.
Repurchase?
Not this exact one but another drugstore brand version of basic polish. I go through it pretty quickly so I try not to spend much on it.

MAKEUP
e.l.f. Daily Brush Cleaner
Thoughts?
I use this to spot clean my brushes as needed between deep cleans which I do about every other week (if I’m being good). It does the job and the price tag can’t be beat.
Repurchase?
Yep, I already have another bottle on the go

Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer in Nude
Thoughts?
This is a pretty good concealer for highlighting however not that great for blemishes. I love that there is a brush applicator and that the product just clicks right in. I think Maybelline has recently re-released this product with slightly different packaging however I’m not sure if the formula was changed at all

I have a couple other highlighting concealers I’m working with right now but I may in the future.
Fhew! That seemed like a lot.
Do you have any products that you love that I should look into?
Let me know in the comments!
Until next time,

Organix has tons of other options for volume. The hard thing is to find one that isn't pro-volume
