Good To The Last Drop: August Empties!

I've gone through a lot of products the last month or two, so I wanted share with you what I've used up and if I would repurchase any of these items again. Let's dig in shall we?

Hair Care:

 TIGI Catwalk Curls Rock Amplifier

John Frieda Frizz Ease Go Curlier Spray

Tresemme Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Spray

The Curls Rock Amplifier and the Thermal Creations Spray I've repurchased several times, and I will continue to repurchase. Alongside mousse, the curl cream is a Holy Grail product because it helps hold and define my curls while not being as hard and crunchy as gel. It's spendy though, so I try to stock up when there is a sale! This heat protect is pretty cheap and has a good even spray so it's easy to coat my hair.

The Go Curlier spray I bought because it was on sale to try it out. I didn't really notice a difference in my hair either with my natural curls or using a curling iron so I don't think I would repurchase.

Skin Care:

Dr. Brandt Pores No More Cleanser

Simple Cleansing Micellar Water

Neutrogena Naturals Purifying Cream Cleanser

The Body Shop Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Balm

I've been trying really hard to use up what I have before I buy anything new, hence the sample of the Dr. Brandt cleanser I got in a Birchbox! It's a good foaming cleanser with a nice botanical, spa scent but I don't think it's anything special for me. Would I repurchase? Nah.

The Simple Micellar water I've been loving for removing traces of makeup and cleansing in the morning, and definitely comes in handy to sort of "spot clean"! I've repurchased it I think twice now and I would definitely repurchase it again until there is a better drugstore micellar water available. There just aren't many affordable options here in U.S drugstores at the moment. :(

The cream cleanser from Neutrogena is pretty gentle, not over drying or harsh; great fro sensitive skin. I'm oily/combo with acne prone skin so this just didn't do much for me unfortunately, so I don't think I would buy it again unless its on sale or something. 

The cleansing butter I enjoyed, and it lasted me quite a while. It dissolves most of my makeup, including eye make up, with minimal foggy vision afterwards! I would repurchase again if the body Shop is having one of their sales.

Makeup: 

Ulta Matte Prime Primer

Revlon Colorstay for Oily/Combo Foundation in 180 Sand Beige 

e.l.f Lip Exfoliator

NYX Micro Brow Pencil in Taupe

The Ulta primer was on mega sale, so I decided to try it out. It's a pretty basic clear silicon primer that is supposed to help mattify. I liked it and it did a decent job, but I'm on an endless quest to find a primer that I'm absolutely in love with. Anybody else still trying to find their holy grail primer too? I'm open to suggestions for what I should try next! I don't think I would repurchase it again unless it was on sale and I was in the mood to pick it up.

Revlon Colorstay is one of my favorite foundations of ALL time. It lasts all day, I don't get overly oily, has a satin finish and matches my skin tone really well. Would I repurchase? ABSOLUTELY! I just want to get through some of my other foundations first.

The lip exfoliator I've already purchased a number of times! It's in a lipstick bullet form, easy to use and gets the job done. It does kind of hurt a little bit, but I've found putting on a lip balm before helps make the process more comfortable. I would definitely repurchase! 

The Nyx Micro Brow pencil is amazing, and nothing else compares from the drugstore. It's not too creamy and a little more on the waxy side so it helps prevent me from going too H.A.M on my brows and becoming Oscar the Grouch. The color Taupe is spot on for my brows too and isn't too dark or brown toned. I had a heck of a time finding the right shade for my brows since they are black and my hair is black, but if I use too dark of a color or it's too brown I look crazy. This has been a life changer! I will never be without it again.

What products would you repurchase again or can never be without?
