Dr Ci Labo Moisturizer, Clarins Cleanser, Tatcha Cleansing Oil, Neutrogena Body Clear Body Wash, Diptyque Feu de Bois

Empties Lately

November 2, 2014

I haven't used up as much as I hoped in the last few months, but I thought I would share my thoughts on them anyway.  I'm just realizing that this (with the exception of a few other things I tossed the packaging for) is all I've managed to use up between August, September, and October. Yikes!

Of the items I've used up, I know I love Tatcha's Pure Camellia Cleansing Oil, Diptyque Feu De Bois, and African Botanics Neroli Marula Oil. In fact, I have full sizes of them already!  

While I liked the Clarins Gentle Foaming Cleanser,  I don't plan on purchasing it again as I like other cleansers better. When it comes to the Dr Ci Labo Aqua Collagen Gel Moisturizer, in some seasons and climates I love it, and in others not so much. In warm weather, and in the Bay Area, it really just sits on top of my skin, but at home in the cold Chicago winters, it really manages to soak in and be a barrier to the elements. 

samples

I always enjoy using little samples of the Jo Malone Shower Gel, and I think the Wild Bluebell scent is great for everyday. I've used samples of the Sai Sei Shower Gel before, and it is subtly scented and nice.  I really loved the scent of Strange Invisible Perfume Bergamot Body Wash - such a perfect blend of citrus and sophistication. I didn't buy the shower gel because of the price, but now I'm thinking there must be a matching perfume and I have to have it! 

I really like the Priti NYC nail polish wipes, and am nearly done with my set of them. I liked the Boscia Tsubaki OIl, but definitely have other oils I like better. Of the other sample packets, I actually went out and bought the Kiehl's Exfoliating Scalp Treatment and was sorely tempted to buy the Aesop Purifiying Facial Exfoliant and Chamomile Blemish Mask. 

There were a handful of other sample packets from Aesop (LOVE), Kate Somervile, etc,  a Lush Bath Bomb, as well s another bottle of the Neutrogena Body Clear Pink Grapefruit Body Wash and a small bottle of Lush Rose Jam Shower Gel. Oh, and what do you know, if you leave a sample packet of Nars Pro-Prime Smudgeproof Eyeshadow Base open, it dries out! :-P 

What have you used up lately? Anything you loved?? I'd love to know!
