Last Quarter Empties

Since we moved to Portland in October, I started collecting empties again and have amassed quite a pile. I am very excited to share the empty products with you as finishing products helps me create room for new ones :)

This is going to be a long post so in lieu of long reviews I will give a good, average or bad rating and if you are interested in knowing more about any product in particular you can always leave me a comment and I will elaborate.

Firstly, I finished my huge 100 wipes pack of the Ole Henriksen Truth To Go wipes, which are usually really pricey but I found them on Lookfantastic.com for £25 which is roughly about $35 for 100 wipes which isn't bad. I believe the offer is still available. Rating - Good.

A candle I finished is the Voluspa Bella Sucre ($18 for 12 oz) which is a coconut wax blend with a 100% cotton wick. It comes in a lovely tin that can be reused. Rating - Good.

  1. Wow! Nice batch of empties! I didn't know you could get the Ole Henriksen wipes in such a large pack. I'm definitely going to look for those.

  3. I read this post and was thinking the whole way through WOW she has used a lot in a month then I went back to the beginning and realised it was a quarters empties. I barely get through a bottle of shampoo in a month let a lone all these products. I really like reading these posts as people let you know what they thought of the products. What was wrong with the marc jacobs lash lifting mascara?

  4. Hey Lorilee,
    I think I will start doing monthly empties, that way I can write a bit more about each product. I did manage to finish some makeup products this time which was AMAZING!! I find that I use toiletries and skincare a lot quicker than makeup.

    The MJ mascara was all sorts of awful, it's an extremely wet formula which just never dries on me and so I find smudges all over my face. I dont love the brush and actually the wet formula drags down my lashes as opposed to lifting them. I just really expected better from a luxury brand. Thankfully I had the sample and hadn't paid for it.
