July 2013 Empties!

Hey guys! I wanted to get my empties post up sooner, but I've been sick the past few days and haven't been motivated to do much of anything. I'm feeling better now and have the day off from work, so I figured I'd get it done today! I don't have many exciting things that I used up to be honest. Since I haven't been feeling well and with work getting in the way, I haven't been using many products, or even washing my face at night! (So bad, I know). Anyways, Lets see what I was able to use up in July.

The first product I used up is the Gillette Satin Care Sensitive Skin Shave Gel. Now honestly, I can't tell if this is truly empty because the bottle still feels like there's product in it, yet when I push the tab down, nothing comes out. Oh well though. I don't particularly like this stuff anyways. It was very inexpensive at Walmart, but I think I'll pay a little extra for something a bit better.

I'm very sad about using up my Batiste Dry Shampoo in the Tropical scent! I made a whole post on it here, as it was sent to me for review. It's just such an amazing dry shampoo and I'm still so happy and grateful I was able to try it out. It is quite pricey though, so I'm not rushing out to buy more, even though I really, really want to. I'm currently using a dry shampoo that I hate and can't wait to finish up, but I'm still on the quest for a good dry shampoo that I can get at the drugstore. If I can't find one I like, then I may bite the bullet and buy Batiste.

I was so excited to finally use up The Body Shop Coconut Body Scrub. This container is made from the old packaging, so I've had it for a while. It took me ages to use this up! Granted, I didn't use this often, only when I felt like I had dry skin to deal with. I'm obsessed with how this smells. It's like you're on the beach with a nice cold pina colada, soaking up the sun. It's lovely. It's also not the most abrasive scrub, which I think is nice for Summer. I like the more abrasive ones for Winter use, as I have much drier skin then. 

I used up another one of my beloved Aloe Protective Serums from The Body Shop. I go through these like crazy, but I love mixing this in with my morning moisturizer in Winter to help moisturize a bit better, so I'm trying to save what bottles I have left for then. I've talked about this numerous times, so I won't go on and on about it.

The next product I used up is the Korres Evening Primrose Eye Cream. I purchased this in a Korres skincare kit from Sephora, but I believe this isn't sold separately anymore, if it ever was. I kinda liked this, but not too much. I find it funny though that I had this in two favorites post a while ago, but here I am, hating on it now. Just shows you have to use things up completely to get a good view of it! This felt like it didn't hydrate very well and just sat on my skin. It also made my eyes burn a little bit at times. I'm pretty sure I have plenty of eye creams to use up that are better than this one.

I also used up another one of The Body Shop Coconut Lip Butter. I only use these lip butters at night now as they leave your lips looking white. I used to use it during the day as long as I put lip gloss on top, but I figured I'd use it only at night instead. This stuff is pretty hydrating and makes my lips feel nice and smooth. I have tons of these to use up in different scents, so I'm set for a while.

 I'm not sure if people care which contact solution I use, but I used up the Renu Fresh contact solution. This is the only stuff that doesn't burn my eyes like a mother, so I stick to this. I can usually find a coupon online and I always buy the double pack of these at Walmart since they're a bit cheaper there. 

Now this brush here technically isn't an "empty" per se, but it just sucks and I'm throwing it out. I had to use this one day because my other blush brushes were dirty, but no matter how much product I swirled on the brush, nothing would go on it! And any product that made it on the brush just looked blotchy on my face. This brush came in a kit from when I was in cosmetology school, so I can understand why the quality is so bad, but I still have brushes from that kit that actually work pretty well. I went to cosmetology school almost 7 years ago, so that's saying something. 

Well that's everything that I used up! I know it's nothing amazing, and I still have no makeup products used up, but maybe soon!

What did you use up in July?
