September 2018 Empties

Hey guys! Catching up on my empties posts, so here is everything I used up in September. 

Bonapiel Beauty & Youth Serum - It smelled a bit too strong for my liking, but made my skin feel nice.Would not repurchase.

The Body Shop Aloe Calming Toner - You all know my love for this toner, and I only have a couple left. I will not be repurchasing, unfortunately. This is just too plain considering the price. 

2 Cane + Austin Miracle Pad - This was super intense, but it was effective in making my skin soft and glowy. Maybe would repurchase. 

Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion - This was very light, yet really hydrating. I tend to like Aveeno products, but likely won't repurchase. 

Bath & Body Works Black Cherry Merlot Hand Soap - Love this scent, but you all know I'm using up my stash and moving along to something a bit better quality. Will not repurchase. 

Maple Holistics Tea Tree Shampoo - I surprisingly liked this! It made my scalp feel nice, but I did need extra conditioner as it dried my hair out a bit. Will not repurchase. 

Dove Men Clean Comfort Antiperspirant - I actually used this since my husband didn't like spray deodorants. It smelled a bit overpowering but did its job. Will not repurchase. 

Young Living Super B - I LOVE this b complex vitamin! I've actually used up more than this but forget to save the bottles. I'm slowly moving towards using all Young Living products in general, and have switched over all supplements completely. Will definitely repurchase!

Triple Paste - For my daughter's tushy. This was great stuff. It's got no scent, and takes away rashes quickly. I've found a Young Living product I like better, so I will not repurchase this. 

Crest Pro Health Advanced toothpaste - I did not like this at all. The scrubbing bits in it didn't help my teeth feel cleaner and the taste didn't last either. Will not repurchase. 

Products used up: 11

Total for the year: 124 

Next post will be October's empties, and I'm so, so close to hitting my goal! I'm tempted to up my goal a bit to 165 products used, but if I don't hit that goal, it's not a huge deal. It feels good regardless getting rid of all these products and making room for better quality products :)

Review: Bonapiel Beauty & Youth Serum

*Disclosure* I received this product in exchange for review. All opinions are 100% honest and my own, like always!

Hey guys! Today I have a review on a facial serum from the brand Bonapiel, and it's their Beauty & Youth Serum with Hyaluronic Acid and MSM. My skin's been pretty good lately, but you all know I love a good serum to test out!

Here is some info about the product from Amazon: 

- Reduces and even eliminates fine lines and wrinkles.

- Reverses other signs of aging such as age spots and sagging skin.

- Restores a healthy, youthful glow and smoothes your skin. 

- Turns tired, dull skin into healthy-looking skin. Improves it's firmness and elasticity. 

- Protects against future signs of aging. 

Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C and MSM help to activate collagen in your skin and smooth fine lines. I occasionally have fine dehydration lines when I don't drink enough water, but I'm only 27 and have no wrinkles. I don't think this would help with deep set wrinkles, but the fine lines I can see this serum helping. 

The serum is a thin gel consistency that blends and sinks into the skin nicely. It feels very nice going on, and has a faint lavender scent that I quite like. Lavender Oil is one of the last few ingredients on the list, but if you're very sensitive to scents, you might want to steer clear. I don't find it offensive at all honestly, and I do have a sensitive nose with certain smells. I do like that this product has helped with the brightness of my skin as well, as that's been an issue for me off and on for a while now. 

This costs almost $40 here on Amazon. For that price, it's a little on the high side in my opinion, but I do lie this product. 

What is a serum that you like?
