Empties: Products I’ve Used Up | March 2015

**If you are receiving this post via email, you may want to check out the actual site as the email throws off the formatting**


Here are the products I’ve used up recently, along with a super quick review. A lot of skin care stuff this month!

1. Simple Moisturizing Facial Wash
I’ve already repurchased this. It does a good job of getting makeup off and does not strip my skin of moisture.


2. Eucerin Calming Crème Daily Moisturizer
            This stuff is amazing! I use it on my hands every night before I go to bed. You can usually score the smaller ones for free with coupons and I use the larger bottles as a body lotion. It is so good at moisturizing and does not irritate my sensitive skin. It can be a bit greasy, but it’s worth it to me since it soothes my dry skin.


3. Carmex Original Lip Balm
            This is one of the only lip balms that does not actually dry my lips out. I’ve repurchased this over and over and will continue to do so. It has an SPF of 15 as well.

4. eco-beauty by La Fresh Group good day. day moisturizer.
            I was very sad when I finished up this moisturizer. I’ve talked about this several times on this site. I got this in an ipsy bag and absolutely loved it. It was moisturizing but absorbed into my skin fast without making my skin oily. When I’m in need of a full-size moisturizer (I have a bunch of samples right now) I will strongly consider purchasing this. It’s expensive ($40 for a full-size, I believe) but it really worked well with my skin.

5.  Kate Somerville Age Arrest Eye Cream
            This got the job done. It wasn’t anything special, but it did keep my under eye area moisturized and did not cause my makeup to run. It lasted a long, long time but for the price I don’t think I’ll repurchase.


6. bareMinerals Prime Time Foundation Primer in Original
            My Holy Grail primer. This really helps protect my skin from anything that would clog my pores. I wear it even when I don’t wear foundation to protect my skin from the elements. It provides a nice base for makeup. It is a more watery primer so if you like thick primers (e.g., Smashbox Photo Finish) this may not be the primer for you.


7. Maybelline the Colossal Volum’ Express Cate Eyes Mascara in Glam Black
            I liked this mascara. It wasn’t too dry of a formula and I liked the wand shape. The wand was curved and it really helped push up my lashes and get product near my lash line. It didn’t flake too much and lasted all day.


8. Revlon ColorStay Foundation in Normal/Dry Skin in 150 Buff
            I don’t want to say too much about this foundation because I will have a full review coming up in a full coverage foundation beauty battle. As you saw in a Super Savings post, I’ve already repurchased this. Overall, it’s a great full coverage foundation. The color range is large (though doesn’t get too deep) and it comes in two formulas: normal/dry skin and combination/oily skin.


Those are all the products I’ve used up recently. What have you finished? Let me know!
