Happy Sunday! I can't remember the last time I filmed or posted about my monthly empties, it's been months since my last one! During September and October, I used a lot of things up!
Makeup
Lorac Cobra Mascara:
This was a deluxe sample I got with a purchase from Ulta awhile back. I'm not a huge fan of this mascara. The wand looks cool but, it doesn't do anything to my lashes except make them a mess.
Clinique Stay Matte Oil-Free Makeup:
This is hands down, my go-to foundation for the summer time here in Florida. It's so hot, sticky, and humid here during the summer and this foundation holds up through all of the humidity, sweat, oil, doesn't break down easily, and is very lightweight!
Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder:
Favorite setting powder! This stuff is amazing! I get this in the transparent shade everytime I buy a replacement and it keeps my foundation in place, keeps me matte, and controls shine. The only beef I have with this product is: the packaging! I wish they would turn this into a close able compact like most pressed powders. This top makes it hard to store sometimes, not travel friendly, and it makes a huge mess at times.
ELF Eyelid Primer:
If you want a good eyelid primer and you're on a budget, this is for you! It's not as heavy duty and strong and some of it's higher end friends but, it does a darn good job and keeping shadows from creasing and falling apart!
Revlon Colorstay Foundation:
This is another go-to foundation. Not just some summer time, but anytime of the year. It stays matte and lasts all day. I just wish they would make this a pump type of foundation. I've never been a fan of pouring makeup onto my hand with these types of bottles.
Rimmel Stay Matte Primer:
Next to my BECCA Ever-Matte Pore Perfecting Primer (which is hands down, my all time favorite primer for my skin type), this primer comes pretty close to it and for $6, I can't beat that. It's like a lotion formula and is a bit greasy but once it sets in, my skin is matte, my foundation is matte, my oil stays controlled and my foundation stays together. It's not as long priming as my other long wearing primers, but it comes very close to them.
Maybelline FitMe Concealer:
I fell in love with this concealer earlier this year. I read it was a dupe for the NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer and I decided to give it a go. I was blown away! It is perfect for sculpting my eyebrows, covering my dark circles, and covering blemishes.
Face & Body Care
Giovanni Fragrance Free Sensitive Skin Shave Cream:
I honestly don't know where my skin would be if I hadn't discovered this. Before this, I couldn't shave at all without red, irritated legs that would scream for days after shaving. My skin (especially my legs) are sensitive to scented products. I use this for shaving (with a combination of exfoliation before hand) and my legs are smooth, moisturized, and not itchy or irritated.
Tree Hut Shea Sugar Scrub (Tropical Mango):
I absolutely love this sugar scrubs for my body and legs. This one smells delicious and fills the entire bathroom with the scent after taking a shower. The only issue with this specific scent, is it's very grainy feeling compared to a few others I've used in the past.
Secret Clinical Strength Deodorant (Freshwater Orchid):
What can I say? We all have to have deodorant and, this one works for me.
Clinique Pore Refining Solutions Stay Matte Hydrator:
I've been using for almost a year now and it's probably the best moisturizer for my oily skin. It keeps me matte all day and controls my oil while still keeping my skin hydrated.
Caudalie Anti-Aging Defense Serum:
This was a sample given to me. It was only good one night so I really don't know what to say about it. It feels really good though but, can I say it made a difference? Not enough product to find out...
Hair Care
Dove Dry Shampoo:
I've tried a lot of dry shampoos out there (not all of them!) and this one works amazing for my hair. It gets rid of the oil, makes my hair smell good, gives it volume, and I'm able to use this up to third day hair with no problems.
L'Oreal Smooth Intense Polishing Conditioner:
I didn't not like this conditioner. I thought it would help my hair since it's been a little on the frizzy side lately and always been unmanageable, but no. It made it worse and made my hair very greasy looking. I think this was making my hair fall out.
Tresemme Extra Firm Control Hairspray:
Best hairspray ever. I use this on the regular.
Hand Sanitizers
Bath & Body Works Hand Sanitizer (Black Cherry Merlot):
This sanitizer is in their new packaging (which I personally prefer, it stays in the holder and doesn't bust open in your purse or car), It makes like a grape wine or like being a grape vineyard.
Bath & Body Works Hand Sanitizer (Donuts About You):
This smells so sweet, it almost makes me think of having donuts.
Candles
Bath & Body Works Candle (Twisted Peppermint):
This smells sooooooooo good! I love peppermint smells and anything peppermint! This burns for hours and made the whole kitchen smell like a peppermint wonderland.
Wallflowers
Bath & Body Works Wallflower (Leaves):
This smells a lot like the candle. It smells like very spicy and sweet and makes me think of fall leaves that you would see up North. It just gives you the feeling of being in an area full of trees during the fall time.
Bath & Body Works Wallflower (Black Cherry Merlot):
Once I fell in love with the hand sanitizer, I got the wallflowers. I couldn't resist. These are so strong smelling, they will fill your room up and parts of outside your room. Like I said, being in a vineyard while watching television or reading a book.
Bath & Body Works Wallflower (Mahogany Teakwood):
This is my all time favorite scent for candles and wallflowers from them. It smells very spicy and masculine, but it's a soothing and inviting scent. It's also a very strong scent. Honestly, it reminds me of men cologne.

I hope you enjoyed my empties for the months of September and October. Did you have any empties for these two months?
