I know, I know, I haven't done a video or a post on products I've used up in the past few months. After a while it's weird to have a box filled with empty/trash items. So if you want to watch the video, you can watch that here. I have separated the used up products into three piles, full size, travel size, and samples. I do have a few items that I'm going to throw throw away (they are all going in the trash but you know what I mean) because they are terrible. So let's get started!
Full Size Items:
Hard as Hoof Nail Strengthening Cream: This is one of the best nail strengthening creams that I've ever used. I used it every day for weeks and then I used it whenever I remembered to. Sometimes I used it 2-3 times a day! It made my nails strong and they grew like weeds! I didn't get any of those stupid side splits (ugh) and they were just so strong and lovely. I love it, I truly do! It actually lasted me a really long long time. I miss it and I need to buy another.
e.l.f Nail Polish Remover Pads: I went through a few of these and they are quite great. One pad does lasts for five fingers (one hand what ever). The pads are soaked but dry at the same time. I never used these outside because they leave a film on my hands and its gross. So whenever I used the pads I would have to wash my hands right afterwards (only con).
Certain Dri Solid Antiperspirant: I'm not a sweaty individual, I'm always dry unless I'm working out. One of my biggest fears is B.O and sweat, it really grosses me out. I need to be sweat free and smelling wonderful at all times. It always bothered me when I'm walking behind someone and their B.O just wafts into my face (disgusting). I don't want to be that asshole that asks them whether they wear deodorant or not because they smell like they've been dipped in shit. If I smelt you once and you smell like shit I will no longer speak with you and I'll avoid you.
Omg, I just went into a tangent about people with B.O I need to stop and get to the point. This product is hardcore and it will actually stop your armpits from sweating. I have to say that it's probably super bad for your underarms but what ever. This product is so harsh that it irritated my underarms. Made them super red, itchy, and dry (so be careful if you have sensitive underarms).
Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Special Conditioner: I love the smell of this product! I loved it so much! Whenever I felt like my hair was dull and dry, I use this. Makes my hair so smooth and shiny. I can't live without it. I need to buy another one as well.
Garnier Frutis Hydra Recharge Conditoner & 3 minute mask: Both of these products smell amazing like apple candies. They made my hair feel soft, tangle free, smooth, and weightless. Made my hair soft and weightless like clouds.
Suave Professionals Almond & Shea Butter Conditioner: First off, this smells awesome! And the price? how can you beat the price? The conditioner made my hair smell so good! Made it very very soft as well, I totally appreciate that. Oh and this conditioner lasts for months! Took quite some time for me to actually finish it. Tons of bang for your buck (if you're into that).
Skin79 Hot Pink Super Bablesh Balm: This was great. I would say light to medium coverage and evens out skin tone. Lasts for 6-7 hours depending on whether you're doing anything strenuous. When I get a bit hot I notice that the bb cream starts getting a bit powdery. I'm not really a fan of the powdery look. Also this bb cream is heavy and it clogged my pores. I love it because it gives me such an even complexion but I hate it also because it clogs my pores. I want another but at the same time not really.
Adara Coconut Oil in Oriental Jasmine: I love this coconut oil so much because it hydrated my legs extremely well. My legs were as dry as the Sahara desert and this totally saved it. Oriental Jasmine smells so good, its all warm and sexy. Jasmine brings a smile to my face whenever I use it. Makes my skin look great, moisturized, and delicious smelling. I only use it on my body, never in my hair or face.
Orabrush Foaming Tongue Cleanser: In my opinion oral hygiene is as important as body hygiene. If you've read my posts in the past then you know that I've already harped about how important oral and body hygiene. So I won't be getting into that again. I love brushing my teeth, especially my tongue. The cleanser works really well and the mintiness is good. I have to admit that it made me gag a few times but you know things happen. I miss it but I have a back up so it's all good.
La Fresh Waterproof Makeup Remover: This is the only one from La Fresh I can use on my face without having an allergic reaction. This takes off bb cream extremely well and I used this whenever I used a bb cream. The cloths are super saturated so you get off everything! I like using a cleanser afterwards because it's a bit oily and I don't like that. This is great! I wish purchase it again but not right now.
My Beauty Diary Hyaluronic Acid Sheet Mask: This used to be my favorite sheet mask from My Beauty Diary. Once I had the uber bad allergic reaction I stopped using unnecessary products. Sheet masks are very important but I'm lazy now. Anyway i gave up all my sheet masks.
Travel Size Items:
Josie Maran Argan Oil: In a way I hate using moisturizers because they are such a pain. I started using a moisturizer when I started using and trying out bb creams. After a while that wasn't enough for my skin and I knew that I needed something more naturally hydrating. I used it up and it worked wonderfully so I bought the full size. That was in the Spring, and I have the worst allergies in the Spring time. My skin was dried out and I'm trying to hydrate it with the argan oil. Little did I know that I was going to get the worst allergic reaction of my life from the fucking argan nut. I don't want to get into it again but let's just say that I am now avoiding argan oil as much as I can.
Amika pHerfection Shampoo: Worst shampoo ever!! I hate it so much. This shampoo made my hair feel super dirty! Ugh.
Philosophy Amazing Grace Shower Gel: I hate this as a shower gel but I love using this as a clarifying shampoo. As a shampoo it's freaking great! And the scent really lingers in my hair.
Herbaria Almond Spice Soap: Smelled like Fall.
Nick Chavez Yucca Root Shampooing Cream: I liked it when I first tried it. Doesn't foam at all, sort of like a cleansing conditioner but not as good. After a few weeks of using this the shampooing cream I had major dandruff. Dandruff! My god, that messed me up. Don't like this at all.
Bliss Lemon+Sage Body Butter: I liked it for a week but after a week I was totally over it. Smelled good though, smelled like lemons, I love lemon scents. When you have to force yourself to like or love something it's no longer worth it.
Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant: I am so so over Dermalogica. This brand is so overly hyped and my skin hates it anyway. This little travel size bottle just wouldn't die. It lasts for so long and I just couldn't get the hang of it. I don't think it did anything for my skin either.
Gloss Moderne High-Gloss Masque: Since it was such a small size and I only had enough for two uses I don't know if it did anything for my hair. I don't remember whether I liked it or not.
Sample Items:
Kiehl's Amino Acid Shampoo: Hmm I hate packet sized samples because you can only use them once and you wouldn't know if it worked for you since you can only use it once. Ridiculous in reality. Using something once wouldn't make me want to buy your product.
Metropolis Soap Co Soap: I don't even know what scent this was. It had clove, cinnamon, orange, etc. Basically ingredients that's suppose to stir up the senses and make you think of Fall. i remember liking the soap a lot. It was very smooth and fragrant. made me feel all warm inside. I used up the sample in one go.
John Masters Organics Blood Orange Shower Gel: This smelled very pure like a really good blood orange. Too bad I hate shower gel (except for you Molten Brown) or I would've enjoyed it more.
Josie Maran Argan Cleansing Oil: Such a measly tiny sample! You rub it into your skin and when you mix water with the oil it'll turn into a milk. I like the concept. I enjoy a good cleansing oil, it doesn't make your face feel like crap either. You don't need a muslin cloth to use this product.
Amika Nourishing Hair Masque: I've hated the majority of the products that I have tried from Amika. I hate their shampoo, conditioners, hair oils. So obviously I thought that I'll hate this too but I didn't! The scent was subtle, when I washed it out of my hair it wasn't smoother so I thought this product was shit, too. But the next day I was outside and the sun was shining and I looked at my hair. My hair looked great, very healthy, shiny, doesn't look like straw. My hair didn't look like straw! I was so impressed that I bought the ginormous size.
Delaney Wellness 3 in 1 Vine Anti-Oxidant Cleanser & Toner: I made a giant rant about their discovery box. Anyway, this tiny little bottle lasted for so so long. Seriously, lasted for weeks on end and I was just like "Come on, seriously?!" but it eventually died and thank god for that. Smelled like the skin of grapes. I wouldn't buy this again though.
Trash Items:
Rexaline Hydra Force Serum: I really liked this and I mainly used it on my neck area. I forgot about this serum so I left it for months and once I started to use it again it got funky so tossing that.
Delaney Wellness Exfoliating Gel & Moisturizer: The moisturizer worked really well and as per usual I just lost interest. The first time I used the exfoliating gel I was amazed at how much dead skin fell from my face. You put some of the gel on your face and then you start rubbing your face in circles and then you can see the dead skin just fall from your face. Awesome, it was great while I used it. I stopped after my skin had the worst reaction ever and when my skin was just dead raw. Don't exfoliate your face when it's at its worst. I did it and I also regret it.
La Fresh Oil-Free Face Cleanser: This terrible product gave me a really bad allergic reaction. Right after I wiped my face with the cloth my skin became red and these hives were just spouting from my face. Scared the crap out of me and still traumatized.
So that's it! Bye.
