Goners! Products I've Used Up! Part Two


Obviously this is a second part blog post (if you want to find out about some skin care items that I've used up you can read part one here). This post will be all about makeup products that I’ve used up and their repurchasing power. Pictures will link to where you can purchase.

***All items were purchased by me unless otherwise stated***

bareMinerals Well-Rested Face & Eye Brightener
I received this as part of a 500 bonus point gift from Sephora and I loved it! I applied it underneath my foundation and it gave my skin a lovely “lit from within” glow. I received a good sized sample and it lasted for a while, so if you want to try it out I would totally go for a sample first.
REPURCHASING POWER: On my Sephora Wishlist now!

CoverGirl LashBlast Fusion
I love, love, love this mascara! It makes my lashes look A-MA-ZING and the formula is wonderful. It’s just wet enough to be buildable but not so wet that it gives you instant raccoon eyes when you blink.
REPURCHASING POWER: Already did!

CoverGirl Clump Crusher Mascara
I liked Clump Crusher but I didn’t think it was all that amazing (to all of you Clump Crusher Ravers, I’m sorry **Hangs head**). I reviewed this mascara so I won’t make this one too long (you can read the review here).
REPURCHASING POWER: Unfortunately no.

Benefit Stay Don’t Stray Primer
This is probably my favorite eye primer. It keeps everything exactly where it’s supposed to be and my eye-shadows look just as good at the end of the day as they did when I applied them in the morning. I have never actually bought a full size version of this, because it normally comes as a sample size in Benefit kits and the samples are pretty good size and last a long time.
REPURCHASING POWER: Maybe, if I run out of samples...

bareMinerals Flawless Definition Volumizing Mascara
bareMinerals - bareMinerals Flawless Definition Volumizing Mascara
This is a wonderful mascara if you like drier formulas. This was another 500 point bonus from Sephora so I only had a sample size, but it gave really good volume and was easily buildable to get the lashes you want.
REPURCHASING POWER: On my wishlist!

Buxom Insider Eyeliner (Chocolate Citrine)
My hands down favorite eyeliner and eyeliner color! I have quite a few of the Buxom eyeliners and they are amazing. If you like to line your waterline (like me!) they give a very dramatic look, and if you like a traditional line they are good for that too.
REPURCHASING POWER: Um, yeah! I think I may need to stockpile!

There are my makeup empties! What products have you used up? Have you tried anything on my list? Would you repurchase? Let me know!

Goners! Products I've Used Up! Part One

I was going through all of my used up products (yes, I stockpile them) so that I could decide what I needed to purchase on my next beauty run when I figured that I would make like a YouTuber and blog about all of my used up products (seriously -- YouTube “Products I Used Up” and you’ll see what I mean). Also, I have quite the list going so I think I will split them into two postings (one for skin care and the other for makeup).Some of these things I plan on repurchasing (and a few I already have) but others won’t make the cut. Check out the list below and like always pictures will be linky to where you can buy!

***Oh! I should also just say that I purchased everything with my own cashola unless otherwise stated!***

CND Almond Soothing Creme
This lotion smells AMAZING!! It smells like almonds (obviously) but there is also a slightly sweet scent to it that kind of reminds me of homemade icing. I apply it right after I wash my hands because I have insane dry skin (especially on my hands) and this makes them feel instantly soft.
REPURCHASE POWER: Yes

Dove Nourishing Body Wash (Deep Moisture)
This is hands down my favorite body wash. I use the Deep Moisture formula because as stated above I have really dry skin. I also like that it isn’t scented because I layer it with scented body washes. And, yes I know that you can buy Dove scented body washes, but I don’t feel like those give me the moisture my skin needs so I just layer.
REPURCHASE POWER: Honey, I buy this stuff in BULK!

Philosophy Fresh Peaches with Cream Shower Gel
I liked this shower gel, but I didn’t love it. It smelled so peachy in the bottle but when I actually used it the scent just wasn’t there **SAD FACE** Granted, I don’t typically want to smell like fruit, but there is something about the scent of peaches that I just love.
REPURCHASING POWER: No **SAD FACE**

NYX Pore Filler
OK, so this isn’t technically a skincare item, but considering it smoothes things out on your face I’m including this in the skincare category. This primer was OKish. It did it’s job but I don’t I kind of feel like it phoned it in sometimes in that it felt more like I just added on extra moisturizer instead of a primer. Also, this is almost $13(!!) and it didn’t last very long...
REPURCHASE POWER: Umm...No.

bareMinerals Prime Time Foundation Primer
I got this as a sample in a 500 point Beauty Insider gift from Sephora and I absolutely freaking loved it! It made my skin look and feel so silky and amazing! I think I squeezed the life out of the poor little tube that the sample came in.
REPURCHASING POWER: On my Sephora wishlist right now! I also added the brightening one because sometimes my skin could use a little brightening love.

Garnier Skin Renew Moisturizer
My favorite moisturizer by far! It is nice and light and keeps my skin feeling moisturized without feeling greasy. Since using it I’ve noticed a great difference in my skin texture and tone too!
REPURCHASING POWER: Already repurchased!
