Products I've Finished: Empties #2

I've been working my way through some more products, so I thought I'd share my opinions on them with you :)


MUJI Log Fire Candle (€5.50)
These candles are such good value for money!  Not all of them are very strongly scented, but this one was really nice.  I want to repurchase this, but this is more of a winter scent and I'm gravitating more towards floral and fruity scented candles at the moment!

Yankee Candle Black Cherry (€20)
I love this candle.  This was actually a repurchase of the mini one I got and used up (which I talked about in my last Empties post).  I want to buy this again, but I need to work through the candles I have now before I can get my hands on this baby again!

Yankee Candle Garden Sweet Pea (€10)
This is such a stunning scent; however, it doesn't really fill up the room like Black Cherry does, which really bothered me.  I wish it was more strongly scented, but it's not, so I won't be repurchasing this :(

NEOM Sumptuous Travel Candle (£15)
I am in love with this scent.  I will definitely be buying this again one day, but it's going to have to wait until I either get back to London and can buy it, or until I make a lovely order off the internet when I'm back home in the States this Summer!

I love... Raspberry & Blackberry Shower Scrub (€6)
This stuff smells AMAZING.  Unfortunately, it didn't even compare to the quality of the Soap & Glory Scrubs, so it won't be a repurchase, but I'm still going to go to the store to smell it...mmm :)!

Soap & Glory Hand Food Hand Cream ($10)
This was the Hand Cream that wouldn't die.  I've been trying to use this up since September and I finally did! I initially really liked this hand cream, but I started to get sick of the scent and wanted to move onto other hand creams that I have.  Maybe I'll repurchase this one day, but for now, I'm happy to move onto something else.

Clarins Gentle Foaming Cleanser Sample ($22)
This was a nice cleanser, but nothing life changing.  I might repurchase it one day, but I need to work on my current cleansers first.

Caudalie Eau De Beaute Beauty Elixir ($18)
I really can't decide if I like this or not.  It's a cult product, but part of me thinks it's overrated, while the other part of me thinks it's really calming, cooling, and relaxing.  I'm still unsure if I'm going to repurchase this (some opinions on the matter would be helpful!).

Dior Hydra Life Pro-Youth Sorbet Creme Sample ($56)
Oh man, this is a fantastic moisturizer.  If I didn't already have a full-size of the Algenist Firming & Lifting Cream (review here), I'd be buying this bad boy.  This is what I plan to buy after I finish up the Algenist stuff (a year or two from now, granted...).

Caudalie Vinosource SOS Thirst Quenching Serum Sample ($48)
This is some gorgeous stuff right here.  i went about two weeks without it and took the dive and bought the full-size and couldn't be happier :)

Sephora Instant Moisturizer Sample ($12)
I didn't particularly care for this.  I thought it took too long to sink in to the skin and left a bit of a residue on the skin, which I really wasn't into.  Definitely won't be repurchasing this.

Kate Somerville Daily Deflector Moisturizer Sample ($48)
This was a bit of a meh product.  I really liked that it included an SPF in it, I thought it was easy to apply, but again, I thought it took way too long to sink into the skin.  I won't be repurchasing this.

Neutrogena Healthy Skin Eye Cream (about $12)
This was my first eye cream.  I got it about 6 months ago and used it night and day, everyday.  I didn't really feel like this did much for me, and it wasn't rich enough for my taste.  I don't plan to repurchase this, but for $12, it wasn't too bad!

Alba Botanica Natural Even Advanced Night Cream (about $8)
I got this from Ulta on sale last April; it was my first night cream!  I did not like this.  It didn't do anything for my skin, so I was really happy when this came to an end.  I won't be repurchasing this.


That's it for this round of Empties.  I'm trying to get through my massive amount of beauty products at the moment, so hopefully these will be semi-regular!

  1. I'm trying to use up products too! My empties post last month was choc-a-bloc haha. I love S&G's Hand Food and I'm very jealous of that massive Yankee Candle! I've tried some samplers and really love their scents xx
