Empties #3:


Today I have my 3rd empties post.  I love these posts!  I don’t really know why but I can’t  get enough of them!   These are all smell good products this week.  Lots of soap.  Haha.


Dove Go Fresh Bodywash Blue Fig & Orange Blossom Scent:
Dove is my go-to brand when it comes to bodywash.  I tend to switch it up between this scent and the plum and sakura blossom.  I have no idea what a blue fig or an orange blossom are supposed to smell like, but I can tell you that this body wash so refreshing.  There is a light floral scent with like a creamy smell to it. As for being super moisturizing, it is.  I’ve never had another body wash be so moisturizing.   I love it and I suggest you got to your local store and give this one a try.  


The Bodyshop Shower Gel Atlas Mountain Rose Scent:
My last empties post had the other two shower gels that I got with this one.  And I do love them.  I find The Body Shop to be a little bit pricy vs going to a drugstore, and that is why I haven’t repurchased anything by them.  They are definitely a brand that I would visit around Christmas time or my birthday for a splurge, but as for every time I run out of soap, I can’t do that right now. 


Puffs Fresh Faces Wipes Light Lavender Scent:
This was my first box of these little face wipes, and I liked them to a point.  What it says on the back of the box is that they remove make-up and they can help you freshen up after a workout or if you have a runny nose.  They are primarily saline, aloe and vitamin E.
  The smell is a little off putting. I didn’t ever get lavender when I smelled them.  These are amazing for taking off my mascara and only my mascara.  I’ve struggled with other make-up wipes and these do the trick, but not so much for my other make-up which I found odd.   They are a nice thing to have in my bag after I’ve gone shopping and I just feel like my hands are covered in dirt and if it’s a hot day, I use them to freshen up my face a bit.
The only problem I have with the packaging is the lid.  It snaps in place fine, and opens fine, but about the third or fourth time I opened them, I noticed that they were dryer than before and that is when I discovered that the lid had slightly separated from the box, leaving air space. 
I got the other scent about two weeks ago and I like that one much better.  I’ll let you know if the lid of this box breaks off too. 


Neutrogena Pore Refining Exfoliating Cleanser:
I love this face wash.  I really do.  It works just as it says it does.  I’ve also never had any problem with my face becoming red because of the exfoliating beads.  It also works really well with my problem areas.  When I use it consistently, I don’t have any problem areas. 


Sunflowers by Elizabeth Arden Perfume:
This has been one of my favorite perfumes since I was about 13 or 14.  An old friend of my used it and I loved it, so I started wearing it.   It might be a little strong for some, but I’ve never had complaints of it being too strong from the people around me.  (I have one perfume like that.)   I love it.  It’s definitely a go to for me. 


There you have it, all of the empties that I have collected recently.  Let me know if you’ve used any!

Suave Dry Shampoo Review:


For the past year and a half, I’ve been using dry shampoo and besides one time I’ve only used one brand.  I have always used Not Your Mother’s, I love their dry shampoo it works well and it smells very fresh.  I never even thought to try another brand. I have used Treseme’s dry shampoo, which is awful I do not recommend that one, and I have used Dove’s, which I have done a post on here.


I don’t know why I’ve never ventured away from Not Your Mother’s, besides for the fact that I knew it worked and I liked the way it smelled, but the other day I decided why not, and I’m sort of glad I did. 
The suave dry shampoo works amazing.  I feel like after I used it, my hair goes back to how it was the day I washed it, with just some texture added in.  
To me it smells like pineapples/ citrus.   The scent is a little strong, but it fades throughout the day.  The difference I see between all of the dry shampoos I have tried is mind blowing.  
Where Treseme didn’t work at all, and really my hair suffered and looked 100 times worse after I used their product, to the Dove where I felt like I had to keep reapplying it to my hair, to Not Your Mother’s where I felt like I really should throw my hair up into a pony tail, to suave where I feel comfortable at leaving my hair down, and I’m able to style it differently because of the texture it adds.  
 I love it. 

I’ll probably switch between Not Your Mother’s and Suave just because I do love them both, but if you’re looking for a new dry shampoo to try, I would seriously check out the Suave dry shampoo. 

Have you used any of the dry shampoos I've mentioned?  Did you like them?
