Empties: Products I've Used Up! August 2014

Hello beauties! Normally I do empties on my youtube channel, but I felt this time, I didn't have that many products to talk about. Also, I've been sick for a week and lost my voice. So I thought I'd do a blog post and talk about these products. Let me know if you like this format, and maybe I'll do it more often!


 First I used up a shaving cream. I love the Skintimate line and this month I picked up a different scent to try, which was a citrus scent. I didn't particularly care for this scent, it smelled too much like cleaning product. But the formula is great :)
 Next, I tried a new deodorant. This is the Secret Clinical Strength and I thought that this would help prevent some serious sweat issues that I've been having. Time for some information overload! I sweat. A lot! Like, even if it's not hot out and I'm not hot, I will still sweat in my underarms and will have pit stains. Gross!! I can't find a deodorant that prevents that, do you have any recommendations? This didn't do what I was hoping so I will not be repurchasing it.  
 Ok, time for some dry shampoo. This is the Treseme Fresh Start Dry Shampoo. I have had this for a very long time and I'm glad to be done with it. Like, it's been a year or so. I didn't really like it. I felt like it just made my hair greasier and you could see grey powder for this. I don't know if I will try another dry shampoo, if I do I might try the Sauve next because I've heard really good things about it.
 This is the second tube of L'Oreal Miss Manga Eyes I've used up. I simply love this mascara!! It's nice and black and really defines my eyelashes! Repurchased already.
 Ah, the Queen Helen Mint Julep Mud Mask. I love this. I used this once a week or every other week as a way to pamper myself and my skin. I have dry skin but this didn't dry it out. It helped removed impurities from my skin and if I had a break out, it helped shrink the pimple. Definitely going to repurchase.
 I tried a new shampoo and conditioner system and I've already went and repurchased it. This is the L'Oreal Total Repair Restoring system. I love this!! My hair feels so soft and silky now. I have bleached hair and use a lot of heat so it's pretty damaged. But I think this system is helping improve the health of my hair :)
I picked up this soap at the Bath and Body Works semi annual sale this summer. It's Aloha Orchid and it smelled like summery goodness. I really enjoyed this scent!
Yay, I used up a candle! And fun fact: I used up this candle in only a month! I could not stop burning it, it smelled so good. This was Hawaiian Hibiscus and this also smelled very summery. Soo good, I miss this candle a lot!  
 These Covergirl makeup wipes are amazing!! I never thought I'd find another makeup wipe that worked as good as the Neutragena wipes but these are right up there, maybe even better. I love them!
 I used up another pack of Bic Soleil Razors. I go through a lot of these.
 And finally, I used up this sample of Coach Poppy. I loved it, but I don't think I will by the full size because it's kind of expensive.

Ok, so there all of the products I've used up. I'm very proud of working through some of these and I have several more I'm almost done with :) It's so satisfying to use up a product, isn't it? What have you used up lately? Let me know in a comment below and I will see you all next time!
