EMPTIES - Empties + Tosses Post #1

by - February 05, 2018

Happy New Year everybody!
I decided to do an empties + tosses post as my first post of the year, 'cause why not? NEW YEAR, NEW ME! And I'm seriously trying to declutter my life, especially since I'll most likely be moving to Ottawa this year once I finish my undergrad. This may not seem like a big deal to some people, but I've only ever known and lived in Toronto, so this is a HUGE change. (How do one even move their whole entire life??? Halp!).
But besides the big move coming up, I do really want to live more simplistically and purge a lot of my things because I am still aiming for more of a minimalistic life. So here are my first set of empties and tosses for the year, and to the many more to come!

Rating Guide:
☆ - All aboard the nope train!
☆☆ - Meh... It's okay
☆☆☆ - YAAASSSSSS!!
Full Size:
L'oreal  Go 360 Clean Deep Exfoliating Scrub ☆☆
I really like this exfoliating scrub, especially during the winter because my skin was a bit drier and flakier. I also like that it came with a silicone scrubber - definitely keeping this to use with my other cleansers.
Josie Maran 100% Pure Argan Oil Light ☆
The silicone squeeze drop cap for this argan oil somehow melted into itself (that's why the glass dropped is beside the bottle), so I wasn't able to fully enjoy the oil. I haven't had a product's packaging malfunction that much before so I'm giving it a low rating considering it's not exactly a cheap product.
Aveeno Positively Nourishing Soothe Shampoo ☆☆
L'oreal EverPure Moisture Deep Restorative Masque ☆
This masque took me a while to finish because I wasn't a huge fan of the scent - it's a really earthy and herbal-y smell due to the rosemary and mint.
Joe Fresh Nail Polish Remover ☆☆
Dove VisibleCare Softening Body Wash ☆☆
 
Samples:
Dove Advanced Hair Series Shampoo & Conditioner ☆☆
Bath and Body Works Sweet Pea Body Wash ☆
Biotherm Biosource Toning Lotion ☆
This toning lotion is so light, similar to a micellar water, that I couldn't tell if it did anything to my skin.
Clinique Clarifying Lotion ☆
Same feeling with this clarifying toning lotion.
Pond's Cleansing & Makeup Removing Towlettes ☆
These were great travel wipes for touch-ups, but I wouldn't rely on these to take off a full face at the end of the night.
Cyberderm H2O Hydration & PN Anti-Age ☆
Elin Bianco Treatment Mask ☆☆
This hair treatment smells divine, if you're into that baby-powder smell, and is pretty thick and moisturizing.
The Philosophy Miracle Worker ☆
All Good Lemongrass Coconut Oil Skin Food ☆☆
Jean Paul Gaultier Classique ☆
Gucci Bamboo Perfume ☆
Essence Superfine Waterproof Eyeliner Pen ☆
This eyeliner pen dried out way too quick for my liking. I think I only got about 5 full uses out of this.
Tosses:
Garnier Pure Mattifying Toner
This toner is supposed to be good for acne prone skin, but the ingredients -mainly alcohol- dry out my skin so badly so I gotta say bye to this toner.
 Secret Scent Expressions in Truth Pear
Dove  Go Fresh Body Mist in Cucumber Melon
Twilight Eclipse Scented Body Mist in Bella
All these scents were okay when I was in high school, but I guess my sense of smell has matured since because I can't stand any of these
OPI Nail Lacquer in Silver Shatter
OPI nail polishes seem to dry out the most from my collection and this one is no exception. I'm sad to see it go but my collection has to downsize somehow haha.
Almay Intense I-Color Trio for Browns & Blues
ELFBrightening Eyeshadow Trio in Butternut
These eyeshadows are just horribly pigmented but my hoarder self couldn't let them go until now.
Mario Badesco Hyaluronic Eye Cream
Olay Fresh Effects Powered Facial Brush

Let's be friends!
