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!

Back to School Haul: Supplies and Dorm Items

Hey beauties! Like it or not, school is just around the corner. Some of you might have already started and others till have a tiny bit of summer left. I move back to college on the 29th and classes start the 2nd of September. I'm really looking forward to being back on campus and being in the routine of going to class, studying, not to mention seeing all my friends and my sorority sisters!

Now, I'm a weird one, I'll admit it. I love buying back to school supplies. I get really excited about getting cute supplies to keep me orgainized. Maybe it's the inner school teacher in me, which is what I'm going to school for by the way. So I made sure I went and got some cute new supplies at Walmart. I wanted to share with you what I picked up.

Well there it is, I hope you enjoyed my video. I will definitely be doing a video of all my study/school organization tips once I get to school and have my little study area set up. I hope you all are having a great day! See ya next time!

Daily Tidbits:
