empties 5

 so there's a full bag of empties that have been waiting and it's time to get rid of that. this should have been a month ago, but life happens.

first with hair stuff

 vo5 shea vanilla shampoo and suave moroccan conditioner- they were both nice. i have other vo5 shampoos and i bought the suave conditioner again. i don't use the vo5 a lot unless i'm trying to fade a previous hair color. 

 tree hut shea shower wash-this was nice and it cleaned me. it was on sale which is why i got it.
i have another one somewhere.

 blackcurrant gel-this didn't really get me clean so i mostly used it to make bubbles for baths.

 strawberry macaroon-same thing as blackcurrant.

 tree hut shea sugar scrub-i liked this and it did smell nice. i have another one somewhere i think. i have another scrub i'm using.

 manic panic sirens song dye- this turned more green on my natural hair. i'm getting my hair done hopefully this weekend.

 argan oil shampoo and conditioner packettes-this were nice. they made my hair soft and smell good.

 hask argan oil vial-i loved this because it helped my frizz and it smells AMAZING. i have some more i bought over xmas.

ouidad shampoo sample-this cleaned my scalp but that's all i remember about it.

next with makeup

maybelline bold gold, gold rush and fierce and tangy color tattoos-this is more of a purge than an empty. these are dry and i can't rehydrate them. 

maybelline bb cream, fit me stick foundation and covergirl ready set gorgeous foundations-i use the covergirl or the bb cream almost everyday. i really liked the stick foundation since it was so easy to put on and it lasted. i have to get a back up of it after i go through some foundations.

physican's formula bb powder and elf powder- the bb one is way to dark for me and the elf one is heavy and looks cakey over everything. more purge than empty.

went n wild brulee-those final little pieces are all that's left. i have a new one i'm currently using.

makeup forever and bareminerals mascaras-i didn't like the smoky one, but i think i did like the bareminerals one.

physicians formula eye boosting liner-i mostly only use this one and i use it almost everyday. i'm have another one and should be getting a backup soon.

real techniques sponge-this was used for over a year (and kept clean!) but the texture started to get rough and my makeup wasn't looking as nice. i have another one and a back up.

and now for smellies

berrylicious wax tart-this smelled like blueberries and did smell my whole living room. it was nice and might get again.

 sleep and winter candy apple wallflowers-i liked both of these and it's right by my bed so i can sleep it easily. the sleep one was nice and relaxing. the candy apple was nice and fruity.

vanilla lime, midsummers night, and citrus tango car jars-vanilla lime wasn't that strong. citrus tango was nice for a week. midsummers night was the strongest and smelled like cologne. it lasted 2 weeks. i have more of these for my car.

now for skin care

 biore strips and cucumber eye pads-the biore strips are supposed to be ultra, but they didn't take much out of my pores. i could still find and extract sebum from them. i heard the deep clean ones work better so i'll try those. the cucumber pads were great to use after a mask and before going to sleep. i have a different brand of these.

 two mud masks (i ripped off the part where it told you what kind)-i think one was the dead sea and the other was a red clay warming one. i did like both. i bought the freeman blue one though. the warming one i would get again.

 sephora rose and eye patches-i liked both of these and would get these again. these would be used after a face mask or before bed.

 snp tiger and skin9 panda masks-i liked these and did send friends pictures. these did feel nice and my skin felt nice after.

 tonymoly avocado mask-this did hydrate my skin and it didn't smell weird. i have a few from tonymoly and enjoy them.

 sephora rose and ginseng sleeping masks-i liked the rose one and it smelled nice. the ginseng one was nice but i didn't like the smell. i would get the rose one again. they do sink in fairly quickly, so i would apply 30 mins before bed.

 deep cleansing gel-these were nice to use to clean my face before a mask.

fizz and bubble peppermint bath bomb-this did smell nice and wasn't super potent. i liked watching it before soaking. it didn't make my skin softer or anything. it was relaxing.

and for random stuff

 party mix cat treats-my cats did get many flavors of these and they finished a bag. they enjoyed it (they don't care about flavor).

vampire blood pocketbac-this is in my bat holder on my work lanyard. it was a plum scent and red colored. i liked it and i have a few backups.

first mask maven of the year jan 2016!

i did get this yesterday, but i was feeling sick and had work. So it's being posted now, sorry.

 this month's theme is land and sea, which it supposed to be masks that have something to do with nature.

 baviphat strawberry juicy mask-i like the packaging. it feels like there's a ton of liquid inside, so you can use it after the mask.

 baviphat green tea juicy mask-i have tried some green tea masks and they do moisturize my skin. i haven't heard of this brand before though.

 scinic firming juicy bottle mask-i haven't tried the last blue one i received, but this the red one. it has tomato in it, and i haven't tried a tomato mask yet.

 hanaka camellia mask-this is mostly flower extracts, and it brightens. i don't remember if i've had this brand before.

 hanaka marine mud and seaweed mask-i haven't used a mud sheet mask before, so this sounds interesting. 

 freeset donkey milk mask-i like the holographic package. i have some gel masks but they aren't donkey milk. i haven't tried this brand either.

 tonymoly pureness 100 mask-i have used tonymoly before and i really like them. it has glacier water in it (that's cool).

 snp otter mask-this has coconut oil and water and i do like wearing the designs. i have used snp and their masks are nice.

mediheal mogongtox soda bubble sheet mask-i've heard of bubble masks, but not the sheet kind. i haven't used either, so this should be interesting.

i like this theme, since it starts off the year naturally and it has a lot of hydration, since winter air dries me out. there are some more new brands and some interesting masks, like soda bubble and a mud sheet mask. the packaging is always beautiful for these.

what i got for xmas 2015

what i got for xmas. i know this is late but i had to wait for snail mail. (if some pics look funny, it's because my camera died half way through)
i'll start with work since i did get somethings from there.

penguin mug (was filled with mints) i did get another wawa gift card but i used it.

from my family-

gift card (i go to wawa a lot for work lunch, chicken tortilla soup <3)

breaking benjamin cds

from my friend-

containers for makeup (3)

container for sheet masks

ulta order with money-

biore strips and garnier micellar water (i asked for this but it wasn't in stores yet)

too faced blush palette

nyx pencil milk

 candle and bracelet set

gloves which are handy for work since its cold

i do have more money on the way (snail mail) so i'm waiting on that. boscovs is tempting me since i'm hearing many good things about it.

sugarpill haul and mini review

this is from the black friday sale. i have been wanting these colors for sometime.

 i did turn the box inside out since its pretty

 i have the sugarpill electrocutes bundle
i used all of these in 1 eye look and used nyx milk as a base. i don't know if they improved the formula but my glitter stayed around for over 5 hours during a work shift and i didn't have much fall out. i know a lot of people have complained about it, so maybe they improved it.

i have 8/9 of the new colors that came out. i still have tiara, so i didn't get grand tiara.
countess, penelope, huglife, clickbait, mint soda, charmy, holy ghost, strangeling
i've only used charmy and countess so far but they are the same as the other pigments in quality (which are amazing!)

bath and body works haul

i made a haul from bath and body works. did i need to make one? no, most of these were 50%-75% off and i had a 20% coupon. that was tempting enough.

 holiday traditions wall flowers-twisted peppermint, vanilla noel, and candy apple i already have (backups). evergreen smells like a forest and it very potent. marshmallow fireside has a sweet and smoky scent, it's not very strong (i just smelled these, not in the warmer. i'm hoping it's stronger when warmed). sweater weather smells definity like eucalyptus, the sage is in the background.

 watermelon lemonade-smells like watermelon bubblegum

 joy candle- it has a faint peppermint and sugar smell. it smells a little like marshmallow fireside but without the smoke and add mint. it came with a snowflake, which is cute.

 winter candy apple and leaves candle- winter candy apple has a sweet apple scent. the wallflower was more potent than the candle smells. leaves smells like cinnamon apple sauce. i love this candle now. i haven't smelled it before this time.

 i bought many shower gels. i don't need them but they were $2-$4 and i like a nice smelling showers.
dark kiss and black raspberry vanilla smell exactly like the perfume. enchanted orchid smells lightly of orchids.

 strawberry and vanilla smells like light strawberries and something else sweet (not the vanilla). i have no idea how to describe brown sugar and fig, it doesn't smell like either or of coconut milk. it's not a bad scent. secret wonderland smells like the perfume.

 velvet sugar smells like floral strawberries. sheer freesia smells like a less sweet version of secret wonderland. midnight pomegranate smells like the perfume.

sensual amber has a potent amber smell with a little bit of citrus. sweet magnolia and clementine smells strongly of magnolia but not of citrus. butterfly flower smells nothing like citrus or orchid, but like lilies.

colourpop haul review

i placed an order from colourpop, hearing lots of good things about them. i ordered 4 shadows and a set of lippie stix. the forget the fruitcake collection isn't available anymore sadly. 

 fantasy, slave2pink, envy, bae

 fantasy, slave2pink, envy, bae

 box for lippe stix

cookie, tuxedo, confetti, cheers, lady, tutu

i really like these. everytime i wear fantasy i get compliments and asking where i got it from. i hit pan on bae from wearing it 5-8 times. for lippies, cookie has been my most worn. i have worn tutu or lady, since the lean more pink and look less dark on the lips. i think creature would be a good dark.

WOULD I RECOMMEND THIS?
i loveeeee the eyeshadows, which are easy to apply and remove. the last all day and don't move. the do blend with some work. the lippies do need to be reapplied like regular lipstick. i do enjoy cookie, which is a light enough nude for me. i do like the slanted applicator, which makes it easier to get straight lines. if you wanted these colors darker, use a lip pencil first. $5 for eyeshadow and lippie stix is a really great deal. will be ordering more soon.

since i loved the shadows so much i ordered more XD

 fizz, empire, game face, 3, porter and creature lippie

 back to cool lippies

vixen lippies

 fizz, empire, game face, 3, porter (dark burgundy but the sun decided no)

 choker, baewatch, mosh pit, out of sync, tgif, too sexy, creature
