Empty Products #8

It's time to talk about my trash- I mean the product I used up.  I told myself that I wouldn't let the empties box fill up to the brim, but I let it happen... again. Some of the products I really enjoyed and will/have repurchased them, and other products you can't even pay me to use again. Yes, they were that bad. In this round I have a lot of body care products, natural products, dry shampoo cans (I think I went a little overboard with that), and facial masks. If you're a fan of quick reviews, then I'm sure you're going to enjoy this latest empty products post. Just as a warning, you might want to get a snack and drink for this video. Or you could even give yourself a little mani!

Empty Products #6

It has been well over 7 months since my last empty products video, and you can only imagine how many products I managed to accumulate. I honestly feel borderline embarrassed for hoarding empty trash for that long. Let's see I have 9 tubes of mascara, 5 bottles of body wash, 5 packs of makeup wipes, and a slew of skincare products. There's a whole lot going on in this video but if you're a fan of getting quick and concise reviews, then this is a must-watch. Plus you'll get a way better idea if a product is worth purchasing or if you should just save your money instead.

February 2015 Favorites

I'm a little late to the February favorites party but better late than never. In February I got to try out many new product but only the ones mentioned truly blew my mind. You might see some items that you've heard me talk about in past favorites but that just goes to show how much I really like them. When it comes to my favorites if I keep reaching for the same product on a regular basis, then I'm going to keep mentioning it until I either get bored or find something better. As much as I want to expose my audience to brand new products in each favorites videos, the true monthly staples are always the ones who make the cut.

Review | Mario Badescu Cucumber Cleansing Lotion

The Mario Badescu Cucumber Cleansing Lotion (previously known as the Special Cucumber Lotion) is a toner for oily and acne prone skin. It is supposed to deep clean your skin to remove pore clogging residue. This toner also promises to get rid of any acne causing bacteria which sounds great for someone who often breaks out. What attracted me to this toner was the fact that it has cucumber which is known to have hydrating and anti-inflammatory properties. I've been testing out this toner for a few weeks now so I can let you know how it worked on my very oily and acne prone skin.

Haul | Shopping Local, Zara, and Vinyl Records

One of my new year's resolutions was to shop local. So much of my money goes towards big companies that honestly don't need my money, so this year I've decided that I want to support local businesses more. Often they have very unique items, brands that you already know, and these local businesses add so much character and life that the bigger stores don't have. I recently went to two local businesses in San Diego to get a couple of things. Sadly this will be the last haul for a couple of months but this whole "no shopping" thing will be worth it! You'll have to watch the video to find out why I won't be doing hauls.
