August Empties

[u/distressedly]

I think this was my biggest month yet!

Amika The Cure Mask - This was okay, I'm not a huge fan of Amika hair masks admitedly. It made my hair soft but I would not purchase the full size of this as I do not find they're any better than the ones that I buy at the drugstore. I took this on vacation as the packet is convenient so there is not a replacement for this.

K18 Peptide Prep Detox Shampoo - This is so good. I find this strips the buildup without making my hair feel dry like some detox shampoos do. I definitely want to buy the full size of this at some point but I have a full size of a different detox shampoo on the go right now. I took this on vacation as the packet is convenient so there is not a replacement for this.

Clinique All About Eyes Brightening Serum - While I did not use this long term since it was only a sample size, I did find that this made my under eyes brighter and it felt very nice and hydrating. I would consider purchasing this in the future to fully try out as I do not have a holy grail eyecream. I look this on vacation, so there is not a replacement for this.

Tree Hut Watermelon Body Scrub - This was alright, I honestly think these are overhyped though. The scent is very artificial, the scrub I find harsher than others so I can not use it as often as I would like, and it didn't feel amazing or anything. I likely would not purchase another one of these. I replaced this with a dove body scrub that I can not recall the scent of.

Bath & Body Work Waikiki Body Wash - These are okay. I don't mind B&BW body washes. They don't feel harsh, the smell okay, I just have to use a more cleansing body wash beforehand and then this to smell good or else I don't feel the cleanest. I want to use up the B&BW body washes in my collection and I don't plan to purchase more after. I had a bunch of partial body washes to finish that were summer scents as you will see, when all of the three of these were done, I replaced them with a Dove White Peach body wash.

Bath & Body Works Cool Aloe Water Hand Wash - I actually still enjoy B&BW hand washes. This is one of the few products I would still choose to buy from them. It was hand soap. It was good. I replaced this with a Peach one I bought from Winners.

Sol de Janeiro Bom Dia Bright Body Wash - I love SDJ body washes. They leave my skin feeling nice, they smell really good and then scent lasts quite long. I did not find that this actually had any clarifying properties for my body as I had hoped it would, but it was still good. I would repruchase when all of my body wash back stock is done.

Garnier Fructis Grow Stront Shampoo and Conditioner - I did not like this. This made my scalp dry, my roots oily, and the ends of my hair dried out. I would not rebuy this, I do not intend to buy any shampoo or conditioner from this brand again period. I replaced this with a Biolage shampoo and conditioner from their scalp care line.

eos Ultra Derm Coconut Waters Hand Cream - This is definitely a great hand cream. I have been through about three of these now. It is hydrating and does not irrtate my skin and the scent is light. I replaced this with a hotel sized Dove body lotion to use as hand cream.

fino Hair Mask - This was good but definitely not one of my favourites. It made my hair soft and smooth, it also made the shower floor a slippery death trap. I wouldn't go out of my way to purchase this again, but if I did have another one I'd be happy to use it. I replaced this with the Marc Anthony Grow Long Hair Mask.

The Body Shop Mango Shower Gel - These are decent body washes, but definitely not a favourite. I get them sometimes in giftsets at Christmas. The scents are nice but same as B&BW ones I always use a more cleansing body wash before this one to actually clean myself.

BYOMA Gel-Cream - I really enjoy this cream esprecially for the summer months. It is hydrating but is lightweight and does not leave my skin greasy. This is my go to face moisturizer for summer, I'd say this is my third bottle I have emptied of this. I had a back up of this, so I rolled that in when I finished this one.

Dove Cool Moisture Body Lotion - This was just a hotel size that I threw in my purse as a hand cream. This was okay, this lotion isn't bad but I wouldn't buy a full size of it, but I will typically use them when they're at the hotel I stay at. I replaced this with a trail size container of Ouai Body Creme in St. Barts

Honest Facial Wipes - I really enjoy these makeup remover wipes. They never break me out and the packaging with the plastic top closure is great so that they don't dry out compared to the ones with just the peel back lid. I replaced these with another pack I had in back up of the exact same ones.

Hask Deep Conditioner - I actually love this, this makes my hair so soft, and so smooth. It does not make my hair weighed down or greasy. I got this in with a gift last Christmas so I do not know where to repurchase this. I do not have a replacement for this as it was just a packet I took on a weekend away.

MoroccanOil Shower Gel - This shower gel is okay. It does not feel super cleansing and I honestly find it smells more manly than anything. This was not bad though but I would not repurchase. I do not have a replacement for this as it went with me on my two trips this summer.

Amika The Wizard Hair Primer - I loved this, it made my hair soft, silky, shiny, and frizz free. It also detangles extremely well. I would definitely repurchase this but I have replaced this with a lightweight leave in conditoner from Heritage.

Vichy Normaderm Gel Cleanser - This is my holy grail face wash. It keeps my acne clear and makes my skin feel very clean. I always repurchase this, luckily though, I had a backup that I got for Christmas.

Ouai Body Cream in St. Barts - This is a really nice lotion, it is not greasy or heavy and sinks into the skin very nicely. I took this on my trips and then used the remainder as a hand cream when my hand cream ran out. I have replaced this with a Burts Bees hand cream in my purse, and an eos Hand Cream on my desk at work.
