Products I've Finished: Empties #3

I finally finished a few more products!  I'll just jump right in :)




Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser (£14.75)

I bought this in September, while I was in London, and this 100ml bottle lasted about 5 months, which I think it decent.  It worked really well and it got all of my make-up off.  I might buy it again, but for now, I'm happy with the cleansers I have!


LUSH Eau Roma Water ($19.95)

This was one of the first LUSH products I ever bought. I got it on my trip through the UK last May/June and it lasted until the beginning of April!  I used this twice a day, pretty much everyday since I bought it - which is amazing!  Plus 250g for $20 (or £7.50 for those in the UK) is fantastic.  I will definitely be purchasing this again - I don't think I could live without it at this point.


Clinique Turnaround Overnight Radiance Moisturizer Sample (full size $46.50)

I really enjoyed this sample and may buy this again.  However, I already bought a new Night Cream off of Feelunique, so it may be a while until I add this to my skincare collection.


CHANEL Le Blanc Brightening Moisture Lotion Sample (full size $67.50)

This was a nice toner, but I didn't think it was any better than the LUSH one, and it's WAY more expensive than the LUSH one is, so I will definitely not be purchasing this!


Bobbi Brown Extra Bright Advanced Moisture Lotion Sample (full size $55)

Another nice toner, but once again not something I'd repurchase because the LUSH one is just as nice!


Bobbi Brown Protective Face Lotion SPF 15 Sample (full size $48)

I really enjoyed this day cream; it was nice that there was SPF in it, plus it sunk into my skin really quickly, which is something I always look for in a day cream.  However, I already have a day cream I'm working my way through, so no need to add another!


NUDE ProGenius Treatment Oil Sample (full size $78)

I LOVED this so much!  I used it nightly for about 6 months, so it lasts FOREVER!  I will definitely be repurchasing this, but probably not until the 20% off VIB Sale from Sephora this fall, because the price is just - yeah...

BareMinerals Active Cell Renewal Night Serum Sample (full size $50)
This was pretty meh for me.  It was okay, but I didn't like the consistency of it and I really don't feel the need to try it ever again - so I won't.


Soap & Glory The Breakfast Scrub (£10)

I bought this from Boots back in September and it lasted me until mid-March, which I think is really good!  I already bought Sugar Crush (as it's more of a Spring/Summer scent), but I will definitely be hitting up eBay this Fall to buy another one of these (unless they start selling them in the States - please!).


Laura Mercier Almond Coconut Milk Body Butter ($35)

This was the most amazing, most luxurious, most moisturizing body cream I've ever used.  I used liberal amounts of this after every shower I took since October and I only just finished using it up in mid-March.  I loved this so much, I was so sad to finish it up (as you can tell from the picture, I used up every last drop).  I will definitely be purchasing another one of these once I finsh using up my current body cream!


Redken All Soft Conditioner ($15.50)

This was pretty disappointing to be honest.  I didn't think this made my hair any softer than any other regular conditioner.  It wasn't bad, but it definitely wasn't worth the steep price.  Though, I do love the Extreme Conditioner from Redken, so it's just this one that I don't like!


Burt's Bees Nourishing Lip Balm with Mango Butter ($3)

I love Burt's Bees Lip Balms and have been using them for years!  I really liked this one, but I'm going to stick to my all-time favorite: the one with Pomegranate, mmm...


dm Ebelin Nail Polish Remover Acetone Free (ca €0.80)

This was fine, it did the job.  I'm not one to spend tons of money on Nail Polish removers, they all do the same thing in my books.  


Sally Hansen Double Duty Strengthening Base & Top Coat (about $5)

This was a good base coat, I even decided to repurchase it.  I will say that it bothers me that you can't get out all of the product, though.  There was still about 1/4 to 1/3 of the bottle left, and I couldn't get it out because the brush wouldn't reach!  They should fix that, because I want to be able to get my money's worth!


Colgate Optic White Toothpaste ($3)

I really liked this toothpaste!  I feel like it was helping to whiten my teeth, plus Colgate is apparently the best toothpaste for over-all health, so I'm happy.  I'll definitely be purchasing this one again!


NEOM Refresh Travel Candle (£15)

I had issues with this candle.  The wick on this particular candle was messed up and it would constantly stop burning for no apparent reason.  The scent was nice, but I've smelled better from NEOM.  I won't purchase this candle again.  Want to know more?  Read my review here!


Muji Spiced Fig & Berry Candle (€5.50)

This was an OK candle, I can't really complain because it's so cheap.  However, I've found that the only candle I love from Muji is the Log Fire one (or whatever it's called), so I won't be buying this one again.


Muji Cinnamon & Mandarin Candle (€5.50)

Same thing as above, a nice candle, but I don't plan to buy it again.


That's it for this round of Empties!  Very mixed ratings on this bunch, but hopefully you found my opinions helpful :)  Have you finished anything up recently?
