Products I've Used Up/ Empties #2


1. Clinique Acne Solutions Clarifying Lotion - Clinique says that this is not a toner. It is a clarifying lotion. Apparently, the difference is that this solution contains zero alcohol. Now that that is clarified, (see what I did there?), I will say I really like this product. I don't notice that it plays a huge role in clearing my acne, but I use this after I cleanse my face and it removes excess dirt, oil, and other icky things from my pores that my cleanser could not get to. This solution has 1.5% Salicylic acid in it, but it does not burn and I just like the way that it makes my skin feel, so I will continue to repurchase this.

2. Clinique Moisture Surge Extended Thirst - Well, this won't be the first time I rave about this product. You guys have seen this product in my favorites many times. This has become a holy grail product for me and I never want to be without it. This fluffy gel consistency really hydrates my skin and makes me feel refreshed and it also acts as my S.O.S. product when I have dry patches. This formula is allergy tested, oil-free, and fragrance free. You can use this under or over makeup and it makes foundation apply beautifully. I HIGHLY recommend this moisturizer! You will not regret it!

3. Gillette Venus Tropical Disposable Razors - I don't know what to say about these... I have tried everything ladies! HELP! I have tried expensive men's razors, expensive ladies razors, and finally I said I'm tired of spending so much money replacing blades, I'll just buy disposables. Bad decision. These did not suit my fancy. The razor head wobbles while you are trying to shave and I just didn't get that close shave I like, although the handle bars do smell tropical! I think I will go back to my Men's Gillette until I find something better. Otherwise, waxing it is. If you ladies have any recommendations for a razor that gives a really close shave, please let me know in the comments!

4. Trapp No. 15 Vanilla Tarte Candle - This is a higher end candle, but boy is it worth the money! At first, I was not impressed by this candle. It smelled delicious, but it would not fill the room with the fragrance. Once I trimmed the wick it performed so much better. The packaging of the Trapp candles is so elegant and nice! All of the scents are just bliss, and after sticking my nose in about 10, I finally decided on this one. It is a delicious sweet vanilla scent. I can't do it justice. Go try them now! I will definitely be repurchasing a few more of these!

5. Softsoap Body Butter Coconut Scrub - Let me clarify this for all of you, this is body BUFF wash, not simply a body wash, which explains my confusion the first couple of times I used it. This does not sud up because it is a soap-free formula. This is a rich body scrub with crushed coconut and jojoba butter extracts. It smells yummy and the price is yummy too! You can use this all over your body. I love using this on an exfoliating towel before I shave my legs. I enjoyed using this, but it is not my favorite. I would probably skip this next time.

Those are all of my empties! Until next time,
xo, Kiana
