I’ve always seen and watched monthly empties and thought it would be fun to post my own! I don’t have nearly as many products as most people do but I’m excited to share what I did finish up using this month!
Mac Sheer Pressed Powder in NC42
Missha Perfect Cover BB Cream SPF 42 in No. 31
I love both of these products so much! Mac’s powder is the only one I’ve ever used and probably the only one I’ll continue to use. It really does make my skin look flawless and I’m so glad my aunt bought me another one for my birthday last year so I don’t have to go and repurchase this for awhile!
I’ve never tried any Missha products before I got this sample of the BB Cream in one of my Ipsy bags last summer. I was hesitant to use it at first but I fell in love with this BB Cream right away! It was super natural looking and is said to prevent wrinkles and fade dark spots. I’m definitely going to buy a full size if I don’t find another sample size from someone!
Smashbox Photo Finish More than A Primer Blemish Control
Smashbox Photo Finish Lid Primer
I got the Blemish Control I purchased in a mystery box and it definitely has become my favorite primer! I prefer this primer over Smashbox’s original primer and bought another at Ulta last week! Fun fact: Buying two travel sized Smashbox primers is equivalent to the full size primer and it’s 12 bucks cheaper!
I got the Smashbox Lid Primer in the Smashbox Try It Kit last spring and fell in love with it as well! I definitely prefer Urban Decay’s Primer Potion over everything but this is definitely my second choice! I actually got another Smashbox Try It Kit in a Christmas Swap so I’m glad I’ll have another one of these to use!
Origins Trio: Modern Friction Nature’s Gentle Dermabrasion, Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask, and Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask
I bought this trio from Sephora on Black Friday for $10 and regret not buying multiple sets! I love Origin’s Clear Improvement Mask and wanted to try other products by them so this was the perfect opportunity. The Modern Friction was a great exfoliator and super gentle for my sensitive skin! I really really loved the Drink Up Intensive, it worked perfectly with my dry patches and was super moisturizing! I already purchased a full size Clear Improvement, which should be arriving next week, but I’m waiting to use up my other exfoliators and masks similar to this before buying full sizes of the Modern Friction and Drink Up Intensive.
Dr. Brandt Pores No More
Iope Cleansing Foam
Royal Apothic Cuppa Cuppa Firming Tea Mask
The Dr. Brandt and Royal Apothic are both samples I received from Birchbox! I had high hopes for the Dr. Brandt since I saw so many people raving about it but in all honestly, I couldn’t see any different after using it and will not be purchasing the full size. The Royal Apothic was also another mask many people were raving about and I really liked it as well! I loved how my skin felt after using it and want to purchase a full size when I get more Birchbox points!
My last empty is the Iope Cleansing Foam I bought a few weeks before my move to Kentucky, it lasted way longer than I expected it to! I love this cleansing foam because it was really gentle and didn’t dry out my skin like other cleansers have. I do have another one of these but I’m trying out a cleanser from Philosophy right now so I probably won’t use the next Iope one for a while.
So those are my empties, not too exciting but it was fun to figure out which products I’ll plan on repurchasing and which products to cross off my list forever!
