June Empties

I haven't done an empties post in quite some time, and having collected quite a few bottles, I decided to share with you some of the stuff that I have used up recently! :)


I always get so much satisfaction from finishing products. Funny how I like buying them but also get a kick from using them up haha! ;)


First up, in the natural care category, I finished the Filsinger's Organic Foods Apple Cider Vinegar which I used on my face as a toner as well as in my hair as a clarifier. I dedicated a whole post on the benefits of ACV which you can read here. I also emptied the Omega Nutrition Organic Coconut Oil. If you don't know the benefits of using coconut oil on your skin and hair, I encourage you to read more about it here! :)

Next up, Neutrogena's Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit Facial Cleanser. It's mild and didn't irritate my sensitive skin. I wouldn't repurchase though because I prefer the one I am using at the moment by Simple.

I really enjoyed The Body Shop's Strawberry Body Polish. It smells heavenly and left my skin nice and exfoliated when paired with a luffa sponge when showering!


I also finished two conditioners: the Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Fortifying Conditioner and L'Oréal's Color Radiance UV Filter Conditioner. They both left my hair nice and soft, although I prefer the one from Garnier because of the fruity scent.

Finally in hair, I got to the last drop of the Nume Arganics Argan Oil, which I applied to my ends each time  after I washed them to make them nice and soft. It also adds shine and doubles as a heat protectant once absorbed. It smells delicious too!

For the lips, I finished my EOS Lip Balm in Summer Fruit. I love this stuff! Smells amazing and keeps my lips hydrated for hours! I still have so many lip balms to go through but I will definitely be repurchasing this one.


I finally emptied the Tresemme Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Spray which I've had for years! On the rare occasions I use hot tools on my hair, I would spray some of it onto my strands to protect my hair from heat damage. If you do not use a heat protectant, I urge you to start using one ASAP to prevent your locks from frying and breaking.

I like using multiple mascaras at once, and so I finished 2 of them in the last couple of months. The Benefit Bad Gal Lash I was a little disappointed in considering it is high end and has gotten quite a bit of praise in the beauty community. The ginormous wand was tricky to use and the formula was too dry for my liking. The second mascara I emptied is the Maybelline Great Lash Lots of Lashes. I wrote all about this mascara here if you would like to know more about it!

And there you have it, my recent empties!

  4. I'm trying to use up my jar of coconut oil, this stuff seems to last for ages!

    I wish I could try the EOS lip balms, I don't care if they work or not, I love the packaging, I think it looks so cute, such a shame they are not sold anywhere near me
