Recent Empties Vol. 3

Hey guys!

I feel like it's been a long time since I've written a "Recent Empties" post! It always seem to take me a while to use up a product which is kind of weird to me as I tend to use the same products on a daily basis. Anyways, here are the products I've used up!

Face Products

1) Urban Decay De-Slick Setting Spray - I love using this spray to set my face makeup and prevent my powder from looking cake-y. Also, this setting spray controls the shine on my face for a long period of time. Would I repurchase? Yes!

2) E.L.F. Translucent Mattifying Powder - Another mattifying product that controls my oily skin from shine. I also love that I only purchased this for $3.00 when I was in the US. Would I repurchase? Not at the moment as I'm trying out a new face powder.

3) Simple Exfoliating Wipes - This is a very good makeup wipe which removes my eye and face makeup fairly easily but I'm not fond of the cloth's rough texture. I know it says on the label that it's more of a face makeup remover than an eye makeup remover but I sometimes use it for my eyes as well. Would I repurchase? No. 

Eye Products

4) Benefit Bad Gal Lash Mascara - I loved using this mascara as its the first one I tried that held the curl of my lashes for a long period of time. For a full review click here. Would I repurchase? Once I get through all the other mascaras I'm trying out

5) Neutrogena Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover - I liked using this remover because it takes off my eye makeup (even waterproof mascara) easily and yet it's sensitive to the eyes. For a full review click here. Would I repurchase? Yes

Lip Product

6) Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub - This product is an essential in my arsenal as I could not go out of the house without a lipstick on. Also, most lipsticks I wear are bright and bold which can take a toll on my lips. This lip scrub helps to gently exfoliate my lips and create a clean and smooth canvas for my lip colours.

Hair Care 

7) TreSemme Split Remedy Shampoo and Breakage Defense Conditioner - I bought this shampoo and conditioner when I got my hair cut as I thought it would help prevent split ends but sadly I still have to deal with hair breakage. Would I repurchase? Probably not

Skin Care 
8) St. Ives Exfoliating Apricot Scrub - I bought this scrub on a whim while buying some groceries at Walmart and found it ok. The scrub granules are not as finely milled as I'd like but I shouldn't have expected too much from a $3.49 price tag! Would I repurchase? No

9) Lush "Cosmetic Warrior" Fresh Face Mask - The scent of this mask was really bad but I achieved some kind of improvement while I was using it. I'm still on the fence if I want to continue using this mask if I go to a Lush store again because I am currently loving my Origins 10-minute Miracle Mask. Would I repurchase? Not sure

10) Clean and Clear Persa-Gel 5 - I've come to a realization that Benzoyl Peroxide based topical treatments are better suited to my skin than Salicylic Acid based treatments. For OTC products, 5% is strongest available in the market which Persa-Gel has. Although this has a strong percentage of Benzoyl Peroxide, it does not dry my skin at all! Would I repurchase? Definitely!

11) Burt's Bees Radiance Eye Cream with Royal Jelly - This is the first ever eye cream I purchased and thought it was ok. It moisturized my eye area but I feel it's not quite moisturizing enough. Would I repurchase? No
