August Empties & Declutter

Another month, another round of empties! This one has been unusually successful for me. I finished a range of haircare, skincare, bodycare, and makeup, and I'm also getting rid of a good number of things I don't use anymore.

Good Things Acai Berry Micellar Water
I wanted to try a micellar water and this one was on sale at TJ Maxx--in short, I loved how well it removed my makeup but it had a strong acai scent that I'm not fond of. Would not repurchase.

Exotic Island Paradise Fijian Coconut Sugar Scrub
The first of two scrubs I finished up this month, I've had this for well over a year and it works incredibly well. It smells amazing, very tropical but not straight-up coconut, and is very rough so a little goes a long way. I would repurchase this if I could find it again!

Nexxus Humectress Luxe Ultimate Moisturizing Leave-in Spray
I've had this for ages and really enjoyed it. It's light and very conditioning.

Marc Anthony Deep Repair Aloe Vera Jasmine Conditioning Treatment
This was a deluxe sample from an Ipsy bag and I got maybe eight uses from it--pretty good for a sample! It smelled nice and floral but I don't think it made my hair feel more conditioned, so I don't recommend it.

Lush Ocean Salt Face and Body Scrub
The second scrub I finished, this one smelled nice but very strong. I used it as a body scrub and it didn't last me more than a month, so I wasn't happy with it especially considering how expensive it is. If you used it on the face it would be much easier to get your money's worth, although the larger salt granules might be too rough for the face!

Tarte Lights Camera Lashes Mascara
I bought this half off and I'm glad that I did! It was a good mascara but I wouldn't repurchase it for the full price. Maybe if it were half-off again.

Blistex Medicated Lip Balm
Yet another empty Blistex--I keep this everywhere, in my purse, next to my table...I go through at least one a month. The medicated berry is actually my favorite flavor, but the original is easier to find and a close second.

Mary Kay oil-free eye remover
I've used this for years and years, it does an amazing job at taking off stubborn eye makeup! I have several backups of it so I'm glad I won't have to find a replacement for it anytime soon. It does leave a slightly oily feeling behind, but it doesn't bother me at all.

Chaleur Danimale perfume
My mom gave this to me years ago and I finally used it up. It smells a little bit floral, a little bit musky. It's nowhere near my favorite but I didn't dislike it.

Declutter:

Bath and Body Works Dark Kiss Fragrance
This is a great Autumn body spray, very dark and musky but still sweet. I've had it so long that the color turned from purple to brown, so while it still smells good I decided it was time to toss it.

Warm Vanilla Ultra Rich Body Butter
I've always enjoyed vanilla scents, but something about this one is a little too artificial for me. Good thing I have ten other vanilla lotions...

Mary Kay at Play Baked Eyeshadow trio in Sunset Beach
The formula of this is nice, if you like baked shadows, but I don't use colors like this often in my eye looks, especially as an all-shimmer trio. My sister might like this.

LA Colors liquid eyeliner
For a $1 liner, this was a good one! It dried super black and matte. Unfortunately the brush tip has gotten some strange pilling at the end of it which makes it hard to get a good line. I might consider repurchasing this one in the future because it really does work well.

L'Oreal Infallible Lip Paint in Nude Star
While I love this color and formula, the awful floral scent always turns me off wearing it. I have a lot of shades like this in my collection so I decided to let it go.

Clinique Butter Shine lipstick in Baby, Baby
I'm slowly decluttering all of my Clinique lipsticks. They aren't my favorite formula, they aren't cruelty-free, the shades I own aren't my favorites, and I didn't spend any money on them, so I don't feel bad getting rid of them. This one is a very sheer, glossy, shimmery formula.

Revlon Super Lustrous lip gloss in Foiled
They don't even make this anymore so I have no use for it on my blog. I never wore it anyway, although it is a very metallic shade which is on trend at the moment.

Tarte Quick Dry Matte lip paint in Rose
I got this in an Ipsy bag ages ago and was expecting to love it just like I love the Tarteist Creamy Matte lip paints, but this one is way more drying. The shade is also a little too peachy for me.

Clinique Long Last Lipstick in Sugared Maple
Another Clinique declutter, this bronzey-pink isn't very flattering on me.

Bath and Body Works lip gloss in Limeade
Anyone else have a boat load of these? I don't think BBW makes these anymore, but I used to be a big fan of them. The scent of this one is still really nice but it's packed with glitter, which I don't wear on my lips very much. Fun fact: I stole this from my sister years and years ago, so I'll see if she wants it back haha!

What types of products do you finish the fastest? For me it's mascaras, I always seem to have one in my empties!
