EMPTIES - MAY 2014

Here are my empties for the month of May 2014.  I don't have as many as last month so this will be short and sweet.  Please check out the video below for more info. 

Carmex Healing Lip Balm:  My husband and son love this lip balm and I saw it at the Dollar Tree and decided to try it out.  I do not like dry lips, especially in the winter months.  I fell in love with this lip treatment.  Every time I get in the car, I put this on.  It really keeps my lips moisturized.  This brand has been around for quite a while and I don't know what took me so long to try it.  I usually use AVON lip balms and love the Moisture Therapy one, but this is now my holy grail.  I have other lip balms that will use up but this one will be my mainstay.

Brush Cleaner:  I get this on ebay and have used this for many years.  It is very cheap and lasts for a long time.  I use this to clean my nail art brushes.  It does a great job at removing paint and polish and glitter.  You can use acetone too, but I like this for getting off dried paint. Depending on the ebay seller, you can get this anywhere from $.99 to $3.00.

Heavenly Silk Daily Skin Nourishing Moisturizer:  I got this in a Beauty Box a few months ago.  This is a rich cream that really moisturizes. I put it on before my face primer and it works beautifully keeping my face hydrated. It has a very perfumed fragrance, which doesn't bother me, but some may not like putting lotions on the face that are highly scented.  I was sad when I ran out of this.  It is available on amazon in a large pump for anywhere from $8.00 to $12.00, not including shipping.  I found this same small size on ebay for $3.99.  My face is happy again.  I may look into purchasing a larger bottle in the future, for sure.

AVON Skin So Soft Winter Soft Hand Cream and Body Cream:  I have talked about these items before.  I love these products, especially during the winter months.  The winter are is so much different when it comes to the dryness of your skin.  These products really help to keep your skin moisturized.  They are not greasy and absorb into the skin leaving a light powder scent.  I always purchase them when they are available, and that is starting in the fall.  I keep a hand cream in my car and one at home.  I always have so kind of hand cream in the car, no matter what time of year it is.  I do not like having dry hands.

AVON On Duty Sport 24 deodorant:  I have mentioned this many times before.  I got the bonus size since they were on sale.  This is my fave deodorant.  It does not irritate my skin and has a light scent and work well.  

Bath and Body Works Shower Gel - Japanese Cherry Blossom:  This is the small size of their shower gels.  I got this for Christmas.  I love the Japanese Cherry Blossom scent.  It is one of their signature fragrances.  I still have another shower gel, lotion and body spray to get thru.

Bath and Body Works Shower Gel - Sensual Amber:  For those who like woody and musky scents, you will love the Sensual Amber.  This is a great scent for fall.  I have had quite a few Bath and Body Works items in my last few empties.  They all had a small amount left in them so I decided to go ahead and use them to make way for more I am planning to get.  :o)

AVON Luscious Temptations Body Mist - Sensual Sandalwood:  This is an older AVON product that is no longer available.  You can get a few of the other scents on ebay, but I have not seen this one.  I have quite a bit of body products and saw that I had not been using this one.  I like the woody scent.  It has a lot of alcohol in it, but to get that to go away, I spray it on my hand and then wave my hand around so that the alcohol will evaporate and then apply it to my skin.  If I don't do this, it makes me sneeze.  I am going to keep looking to see if I can find this scent again on ebay or amazon,  There were about 4 different ones this line.

Bath and Body Works Shower Gel - Enchanted Orchid:  Another of their signature scents.  It is floral but not too much.  A very nice scent for Spring and Summer.  I have the lotion, perfume and body spray I still have yet to go thru.  I will look into getting another shower gel too.

Jordana 12 hour Made to Last Eyeliner:  My new favorite eyeliner.  I have mentioned this many times.  I have seen it talked about on youtube and found them at Walgreen's right above the Sinful Colors display at the make up counter.  They are $2.99 each.  I said $1.99 in the video, but I was incorrect.  I have 2 back ups of this so I won't be needing any soon..  This goes on smooth an stays put.  I use it with an eyeshadow primer on the bottom lash line which helps it to stay all day.  I even add eyeshadow and smudge it out for a great look as well.

Wet n Wild Brow/Liner - Dark Brown:  These are only $.89 and this week at Walgreens $.69.  (June 9-15th).  I bought another color called Mink Brown when I finished off this one.  It is shade darker.  I still have a Dark Brown I am finishing up.  This can be used as an eye liner or brow liner.  I goes on smooth and lasts all day without fading.  For the price you can beat it and the performance is great too.

Hope you enjoyed my empties for the month of May 2014.  Please watch the video below for  more info.  If you have any questions or suggestions, please leave a comment.  Thanks for reading and watching.
