Empties #3:

Today I have my 3^rd 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!

Empties #2:

Hello Everyone!  Today I’ve got an empties post for you consisting of mainly soap and other smelly things!  I hope you enjoy!

Softsoap Holiday edition Peppermint Candy Cane Liquid Hand Soap:

This soap is a special edition, and I hate that it is!  I got it around Christmas, and I fell in love.  It has the perfect amount of mint to it.  It also doesn’t have that fake smell to it.  This was my second bottle, and hopefully it comes back out in December.  I’m sure I’ll buy like five bottles. 

The Bodyshop shower gel Mango and Strawberry scent:

These were my first buys from The Body Shop, and essentially are what made me fall in love with the brand.  These were the first two to run out, and I have one more shower gel that has about one wash left in it.  I bought these shower gels in mini bottles because I wasn’t sure if they were going to have that icky fake smell to them or not.  (Especially the strawberry one.)  They don’t.  I can’t wait to get bigger bottles, and try more of their shower gel line. (Plus everything else The body Shop has to offer!)  Here is my first impression of the line.

Tree Hut Shea Sugar Body Scrub Coconut lime scent:

I got this scrub from Walmart, and I wasn’t so sure about it because I typically don’t have luck with walmart soaps (usually they smell like awful plastic)  but I decided to try this, and I loved it.  I personally don’t think that it smells like either coconut or lime, which is a little odd, but it still smells good.  It’s definitely sweet though.  I think they also have a vanilla one, but I’ll most likely stick to this one. 

Suave Dry Shampoo:

I just posted about this the other day, and it’s already gone!  I think I got a good three weeks out of, and I was so confused because it ran out so quickly, but I looked at the other dry shampoo I use, and that one is a good two oz more than this one.  I love, love, love, this dry shampoo, and you can read that review here.

Febreze Sleep serenity bedroom mist warm milk and honey scent:

I got this air freshener months ago, and it just ran out.  It’s supposed to have like a calming effect and you're supposed to spray it before you go to bed.  I didn’t get that, but who really believes it will give a calming effect?  I got it in the scent warm milk and honey, and I don’t smell either of those, but what I can tell you is that is a very, very, sweet scent and if you're sensitive to sweet scents than use this one sparingly.  I do love the smell, but it can be overwhelming if used way to much.

Opti-free express lasting comfort contact solution:

I’ve worn contacts since I was 13, and I’ve gone through A LOT  of different contact solutions.  This one is, by far, my favorite.  The one that I was using before was by Renu and I felt like my contacts were drying out by mid-day whereas with this solution I can wear my contacts for about 20 hours before they start bothering me, and if you wear contacts you know that when your contacts start to dry out it can drive you crazy!  This is about my sixth bottle in a row, and I can’t see myself using another.

Empties #1 

The Body Shop:

I heard about The Body Shop from a few youtubers that I watch, and their reviews on the products sparked my interest.  So, for Christmas, I decided to try some of their products for myself. While on their website, I really just wanted to try everything, but narrowed it down to Mango, Strawberry, Atlas Mountain Rose, and Vanilla.  Three shower gels and one lotion. 

Trying the show the shimmer

 I wasn’t sure if I was going to like the scents, especially the strawberry one, so I got the smallest bottles available. (Except for the vanilla lotion because they didn’t have a smaller bottle.)  Also, I kind of have a love for shimmer lotion.  And my conclusion is… I love them all, except the lotion.  To me the lotion smells like play dough.  I told my mom about it, and she told me that it sometimes happens with vanilla smelling products.  I think my favorite is the rose scent, but I might be a little bias to that, seeing how it’s one of my favorite scents. 

I also bought two candles.  I bought Aloe & Soft Linen and Jasmine & White Frangipani. I bought them because I had heard that they burn evenly, not just a narrow hole down the middle, and I decided to test that.  The other day, I burned the Jasmine & White Frangipani for around five hours, and for the length I was burning it for, it didn’t get too steep, but it was not evenly distributed.  Usually when I burn candles for that amount of time they end up having a lot less than this candle does.  Also, after the candle being blown out, and at least 12 hours has passed, my room still smells like the candle.  That amazes me.  

When I bought the products, they were having a 50% off special that day, and it seems like they are always having some kind of discount.   50% is the highest discount I have ever seen.  Eventually,  I plan on trying the peach and coconut shower gels.  Along with mango body mist, watermelon lip gloss, rose fragrance mist, and so much more.  I cannot wait to try the other scents. 

What is your favorite thing from The Body Shop?
