Empties 2013 #1

Happy February! 

I have went through quite a few products since my last Empties post, so I thought I would share them with you!

Up first are some samples that I had. 

First one is the new Pond's Luminous Clean Cream Cleanser. I really like this stuff! I have already bought the full size product.

Up next is my L'Oreal Youth Code Serum. If you have been reading my blog you know I love this stuff and splurged and bought the full size.

I also tried some serum from Avon's Anew line, hated it! I washed it off my face probably about 5 minutes after I put it on. Left my face feeling sticky. Obviously I will not be purchasing the full size of that.

Another skin care sample I had was Scalisi Anti-Aging Moisturizer that I got in one of my Birchboxes. I finally decided I would finish it up too. Will not be purchasing the full size of this product.

I also finished up my second bottle of Neutrogena Fresh Foaming cleanser. I decided not to repurchase this again  just because I wanted to try the new Pond's cleanser.

I also had a couple of body washes that I finished up. One was a sample of Caress whipped souffle white peach cream. I've had this for probably over a year :/ Probably not anything that I would repurchase.

I also used up my bottler of Softsoap Ultra Rich Shea Butter Creme. I love all the softsoap body washes, they leave your skin feeling so soft. I would repurchase this.

I finished up my little sample bottle of Not Your Mother's Smooth Moves that I received from Influenster. My hubby bought me the full size as a Christmas gift!

I also finished up a bottle of  Vaseline total moisture cocoa radiant lotion. I have already purchased the full size of this. Love it, smells amazing and is very moisturizing!

And if you seen my January Favorites post you already know that I am bummed out about my last empty, which is my Viva La Juicy La Fleur fragrance sample. I couldn't even throw out the empty sample bottle LOL

 I would love to have the full size of this, but it is so far out of my price range.

What products have you used up recently?

January 2013 Favorites

I feel like I say this every month, but seriously, where has this month gone? This month for me has been crazy and stressful. Anywho, I have a few products that I have either loved or just simply reached for the most this month.

I'll start with hair products:

I have been loving my Not Your Mother's Way to Grow Shampoo. I will have a full review of this product up within the next week!

August Birchbox with Hits and Misses

Wow! I'm really late with getting this post up. Wanted to share with you the items that I got in my August Birchbox. I was quite pleased with this box. I have got good use out of 2 of the products and the others were mostly misses for me.

First thing out of my box that I have got a lot of use out of is the Miss Jessie's Original Stretch Silkening Creme. This curl-enhancing cream stretches out each follicle for looser curls while adding volume and shine. Hydrolyzed wheat proteins and wheat amino acids fortify hair, while a team of moisturizing oils including coconut, jojoba, avocado, and olive add silkiness and softness. I don't know if this product really helps out with my curls, but I love to use it when I pull my hair back in a pony tail to smooth out all the little short hairs that like to
