January Empties- Rebuys and Reviews

Every month I see the empties post on the various beauty blogs I follow on Instagram. I make a mental note and forget. Not this time! I actually kept my January Empties for you guys to see.

What is an empty? It's a product you've used up- emptied. January was obviously the month of... lets run out of your skincare you use everyday.



1. Bath and Body Works body cream: Twilight Woods: I think about every girl has a stash of B&BW laying around. I am a huge fan of their body creams, not so much their lotions. I only buy during their huge sales because otherwise... I am not a fan of a $14.00 bottle of lotion. This one of my favorite scents though. It's rich and fruity at the same time. Rebuy? Duh. Yes. You can score it here :)

2. Farsali Unicorn Essence: I have drooled over this product for a long time. It made an appearance in my 2017 favs and is carrying over into 2018. My BFF bought me the travel size for Christmas. I WAS HOOKED. So smooth, and it has made my skin look the best it has in quite sometime. I use it as a serum still followed up by a moisturizer. I only use in the morning. Rebuy? YES!!!! The new (larger) bottle has already been delivered. Check it here :)

3. Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser: This is my go to face wash. I had some really annoying skin issues for a while, and the Dr prescribed me prescription face was. After that was under control, she recommended Cetaphil to maintain versus continuing the Rx wash. It's great for an every day was. Sensitive skin? This will be your best friend! You can pick up at an local drug store for $6-$8. Rebuy? Always.

4. Secret Deodorant- I am the first to admit I am p.i.c.k.y when it comes to deodorant. This actually isn't empty, but I just didn't like it. I was on travel and forgot to pack it, so I grabbed what was the quickest. This isn't all that strong or protective. It's super chalky and clumpy. Rebuy? Nope.

5. Covergirl Flamed Out Mascara: I'm a sucker for mascara. I have light colored, stumpy eyelashes, so I need mascara to do it's job well. This mascara leaves much to desire. I will say it is a very light and dry formula- which I like. However... there's minimal staying power and no volume. Plus, it dried out super quick. Now... I am also bad to leave the lids slightly off, so the drying might be my fault. Rebuy? No.

6. Ladykin Affinitic Snail Cream: I LOVE THIS STUFF!!! I was introduced to this through ipsy (probably the only good thing ipsy ever sent me, LOL!). So many people were weirded out because who wants to put snail secretion on your skin?! Well, I did, and I am glad I did so. It's great for regenerating elasticity. Super lightweight. And, hello?? Did you see the packaging?! Still not sold? The last full size I bought was March 2017, and I am just now replacing. 10 months. At $20ish for a full size... that's $2 a month on face moisturizer. I've spent a lot more on my face. Rebuy? YES, actually my 2nd rebuy. Go buy it here :)

What's your empties look like? Any of the above you want to try?
