Whats in my Trash


This post is going to be the rest of the empties I have been putting into categories. From now on I am going to try to put up a monthly empties with the products I have used throughout the month. I will go back and forth between this blog and my other blog beautythroughmyeyez. I will be doing monthly favs as well and it will be the same thing. I will talk about more things then just beauty products for example events and places but also the normal candles and etc. that you would find in a monthly favorites now lets get into this trash that I am trying to get rid of since its been here a while.
I am not going to go in any order since I am just picking it up and throwing it in the trash.  The first thing that is at the top of the bin is a pack of makeup remover wipes from the brand Body Prescriptions Cucumber infused makeup cleansing wipes. They were okay nothing crazy . I brought them at TJMaxx for cheap and got the job done.
I used up a sample of Benefit Air Patrol and I really liked the shade of this product as an eye base. It was a yellow tone base and covered the color of my veins.
I finished up a Clean & Clear Oil Absorbing Sheets. When I can’t get my Boscia limited edition ones that I love which are the pink peppermint ones which I also used up a pack of those I will go for these ones. I am currently working on some Blotting sheets from Elf’s essential line which I never used before. These are very affordable for someone who is on a budget.
The next product I was not a fan of. It took me a lot to finish the product since I did not like it a lot but I do not like to throw out products unless I can’t use it at all no matter how hard I try.  This product is travel sized. I am happy I didn’t purchase a full size because it will still be in my hair products trying to finish.  The dry shampoo I am talking about is Psssst! The original one. This dry shampoo leaves a big white cast and it takes forever to get rid of which I rather just use other dry shampoo’s that don’t do that.
A primer spray that I did not get to finish since the product went bad before I was able to use it up. The product is called Urban Decay b6 Vitamin-Infused Complexion Prep Spray. I really did not see a difference between this and Mac Fix + which I prefer that over this spray but if I have access to this one more or easier before getting the Mac one I have no problem purchasing the travel size b6 spray again.
I used up my new favorite eye brow pencil which is from Elf in the shade Taupe. This product is very affordable since it only cost $2 vs spending over $10 or $20 dollars.
I used up another pack of makeup remover wipes from the brand Purederm Skin Solutions . I found this brand in forever 21 while shopping and since it was very affordable I figured I try them. These were the collagen ones in the blue packaging which felt nice on the skin and took my makeup off.
These next 2 products I am getting rid of because they just went bad. The first one I liked because it was a very simple product I would just put it on and go for a little tint of red and glossy . It is a Victoria’s Secret Glossy Tint Lip Sheen in the shade Knockout Red. If this product would come back I would repurchase it again without a problem.  The next product is a Jordana Matte lipstick in the shade 5th Ave. I did not really like the formula it was very drying and hard to work with. I also was not a big fan of the shade.
 I used up another Maybelline Great Lash in the shade Clear which I use to set my brows. It is the most convenient brow gel to get a hold of. I have used it time and time again. I have also used other brow gels. I will repurchase in the future if this is the only one available.
I used up a Bite crayon in the shade Rhubard. It is a great wine shade and also great for the fall. It is very moisturizing and easy to work with on a daily bases.
This is another product that is starting to dry oput and that is the reason why I am tossing it. I have had it a while and realized the best way to apply this product is by using a brush. It is the Jordana Color Tint Blush Stick in the shade 02 pink adore. It was a soft pink shade and very easy shade for a daily use.
I used up 2 sample perfumes which is Versace Bright Crystal which I really like the scent. It is not on the floral scent.  The next sample I used up was Narciso Rodriguez for her which is a strong scent more of a man scent but for a women if it makes sense.
 I did not get to use up the next product completely but I did like it and would repurchase since it has been the first lip exfoliator that is very easy to use. It is the Elf Lip Exfoliator in clear. I might try to use a different scent or shade since now it also comes in cherry and peppermint.
I used up a mascara from LA Colors it is called Bold Lash Mascara in the shade 307 which is just black. Using this product my lashes had a lot of volume but also I didn’t have to use a eye curler to help with the volume which I did like.
I used up the Tarte Amazonian Butter Lipstick in the shade Plummy Rose which is a great everyday nude pink shade.  I do not know if I will repurchase this lipstick though because of the formula. It melted very fast and at the end it broke off and had to depot to use it up.
The next product dried up on me. It is the Color Tattoo Metal in the shade 70 Barely Branded. I used this as an eye base and loved it . I would repurchase it once I get through some of my other eye bases.
I used up 2 brush cleansers .  The first one is the Mac Brush Cleaner and the next one is the Sephora Makeup Brush Shampoo. I use both at the same time because I use the Mac Cleaner to disinfect my brushes and then the shampoo to clean my brushes. I am currently using baby shampoo and NYX brush cleaner. I will repurchase either of these products expect the Sephora brush shampoo since the baby shampoo works better in my opinion and is more affordable. The Mac brush cleaner I will put to my back to mac products.
I used up my NYX HD concealer in the shade CW04 Beige. Once I use up a few of my other concealers I will definitely repurchase it because this is a great product for the price. I can compare this concealer to a bunch of other high end concealers.
I used up the Korres Antiaging Primer from the Quercetin & Oak line which was great. It was a very light moisturizing primer.
I used up a perfume and a body spray.  The perfume I used up was the Jennifier Aniston Eau De Parfume. I purchased this at Sephora. It was a very light perfume that I used everyday to go to work. It wasn’t to strong but it wasn’t to soft that the scent didn’t last at all. The body spray I used up was a Pink in your dream body mist which was a great scent . It was a fresh scent.
These are all the products that I have used in the past few months. From now on I will be doing monthly empties .  Leave a comment down below with your current favorite empties you used up and why do you like them or love them some much.

Since I have been hooked on the target beauty boxes since I first found out about it. Target beauty boxes is a monthly beauty box but without the subscription which is the part that I love about it. I also like the fact that it is very affordable and your money is well worth. Keep on reading find out which products I thought were a great value inside the box since the beauty box always comes with a coupon for target beauty products which is a great added bonus.

Target beauty boxes range so far I have seen is $5-$10 with free shipping. They also sell out very fast so once it is available if you want it you would have to purchase it right there and then at Target.com. Please leave a comment down below on the beauty box you get every month and also what products you like out of the products named above and why. It is always interesting to see what products others like since everything doesn't work on everyone. Thanks for reading
