Empties-makeup, hair, skincare and nails


 Hello, today I will be showing you all of my empty products. The purpose of this post is to let you know how the products worked. I will give a mini review and some information about everything posted. Continue reading to see what I liked and didn't like.
 My first empty product is Maybelline's Super Stay 24 Hr. concealer. You can buy is concealer for $8 at most drugstores. Here are the claims of this concealer.
 
SuperStay 24 Hour Concealer provides natural-looking coverage that lasts all day
  • Conceals imperfections, flaws, undereye darkness and circles✔️❌
  • 24-hour wear, No Transfer❌
  • Oil-Free, non-comedogenic, dermatologist tested, ophthalmologist tested, fragrance-free✔️

  •   This concealer is ok at concealing under eye circles. When I apply the concealer it looks nice but after a while it will crease and look unnatural. So I don't really use it under my eyes anymore. When it comes to covering imperfections, I think the coverage is medium. Which is good if I'm wearing a full coverage foundation but I expect more from my concealers. I also think this concealer can be hard to blend. It's easy to look cake-y if you apply too much. When blending, I prefer my concealer brush over my finger for a more natural look. One thing that I love about this concealer is, it doesn't break me out. Which is so good for my acne prone skin. Overall, I recommend this concealer for people who need only light coverage. 

      Will I repurchase? No, I think I will continue on my concealer journey. I feel like I can find a better concealer with higher coverage, while still not breaking me out.

     My next empty is Johnson's baby oil. I use this for extra moisture and other various reasons(this weeks tip). You can buy it for just under $4 at any drugstore. Here are the claims of the baby oil. 
    • Locks in up to ten times more moisture on wet skin than an ordinary lotion can on dry skin✔️
    • Use to soothe and relieve dry, rough patches✔️
    • Leaves skin glowing and baby soft✔️
    • Clinically proven mild✔️
    Johnson's baby oil provides better moisture than any lotion I use. You really can't out do this product in the moisture department. It's perfect for using on my elbows and feet. All of my rough patches will soften and eventually disappear.  The smell is amazing, it leaves you smelling like a clean baby. I recommend this to anyone who has dry skin. Baby oil is also great for other things. I will post a tip this week for another use of baby oil. Trust me, it will change your life. 

    Will I repurchase? Yes!

    My next empty is Head & Shoulders dry scalp care shampoo. During the colder months my scalp gets dry and flaky. Head & shoulders always takes care of that problem. You can buy it at most drugstores and it costs $7 for 23.7 FL oz. Here are the claims of this shampoo.

    • Improves scalp health in 2 weeks. ✔️
    • Dual-action formula with almond oil helps relieve dry scalp and itch, while providing extra conditioners for your hair. ✔️
    •  Gentle and pH balanced for everyday use, even for color or chemically treated hair.  Dandruff shampoo that keeps hair clean, beautiful and 100% flake free✔️
    • 7 Benefits:  Fights dry scalp✔️,calms itchy scalp✔️, relieves irritation✔️,  reduces redness✔️,great scent✔️, controls flaky scalp✔️ and leaves hair looking beautiful✔️.

     All of the claims are true. After each wash my scalp is not dry,  itchy, irritated, red, flaky and my hair always looks beautiful. My scalp inproved before the 2 week period. After the first wash I saw a difference in my scalp. I mainly bought this shampoo for dandruff and I'm so happy I'm flake free now. I don't have to worry about flakes falling on my shirt anymore. This shampoo gets a huge thumbs up! I do recommend this shampoo! 

    Will I repurchase? Yes!

     My next hair product is Aussie aussome volume shampoo. This shampoo sells for $3 at most drugstores. Here are the claims.

    • For a "Flat" to "Fantastic" 'Do that Speaks Volumes✔️Aussome Volume, with essence of White Ginger, easily gives you a right proper "oomph."

    • Lift Up Your Locks for a Full Look that won't Fall Flat❌The Aussome Volume collection gives your hair a boost and helps you hold the looks you want.
     I have a hard time keeping volume in my hair. So I bought this shampoo hoping it would help. After washing my hair looked like it had volume but a couple hours later my hair would fall flat. I also noticed my hair was a little dry when I used this shampoo. Needless to say, I probably won't buy it again. I don't recommend this shampoo but I do recommend their deep conditioner. It leaves hair shiny and soft! 

    Will I repurchase? Not this specific shampoo from Aussie.

     My first skincare product for this post is Clean&Clear essentials deep cleaning toner for sensitive skin. Clean&Clear did repackage this bottle so it looks different now. I'm not sure what the price is but you can find it at most drugstores. Here is the claim.
    • CLEAN & CLEAR®ESSENTIALS Deep Cleaning Toner for Sensitive Skin contains salicylic acid acne-fighting medication that treats and helps prevent pimples.✔️
     Usually, I don't use a toner that has alcohol but I made an exception for this one. I'm so glad that I did! This toner has helped my acne so much. Now that I have ran out my face is breaking out again(sad face). When using it, make sure you don't have a popped pimple because it will sting. Other than that though, the toner is sentive towards skin. I apply the toner twice a day all over my face with a cotton ball. If you have dry skin, I would recommend using it once a day or use a really good moisturizer. I do recommend this toner to anyone who has acne.  
    Will I repurchase? Yes!

      My next skincare product is Natures Cure Acne Treatment Vanishing Cream plus the kit it comes in. This cream comes in a package with acne treating pills from Walmarts website for $8.97. Here are the claims of the product.

      Nature's Cure: 2 Part Acne Treatment for Females has tow parts. The first part, Internal Homeopathic Acne Medicine: Acne can be caused by internal imbalances due to diet, stress or hormonal changes, especially during monthly cycles. Nature's Cure tablets are a blend ofall-natural ingredients, which stimulate your body's natural defenses to correct these imbalances and to help stop acne where it can start. They do not increase sun-sensitivity and have no side effects. The second part is the Topical Acne Medication - Vanishing Cream: To clear existing blemishes, Nature's Cure has a colorless, unscented, greaseless, 5% Benzoyl Peroxide cream. Nature's Cure Vanishing Cream also contains aloe vera concentrate and allantoin to moisturize and soothe the skin.
  • Acne tablets and vanishing cream
  • Dermatologist tested
  • Safe and effective✔️

  • I love this kit! The pills help my acne so much and the cream is pretty good. Of course, I can't tell you if the medicine help my internal imbalances but my acne did look a lot better. My acne is caused from hormones, so if you have hormonal acne you might like this kit. It has great reviews and the price tag isn't bad. The cream is pretty good but I'm not sure if it really did anything extra. I don't really mind though, because either way my 
    acne is helped. I also want to say that it didn't cause dryness, so that's a plus. I do recommend this product but it won't completely cure acne for everyone. So don't automatically expect a miracle cure for your acne.

    Will I repurchase? Yes

    My next product is e.l.f cosmetics Nourishing Cuticle Pen. You can buy this on e.l.f's website, eyeslipsface.com. Here is the description of the product.

     Relieves dry nails and flakey cuticles in a convenient pen design. The Nourishing Cuticle Pen moisturizes cuticles effectively✔️ and the quick dry formula✔️ allows for a no mess application✔️.Fortified with Vitamins E, A, C, Pro-Vitamin B5 and Aloe, this fast-acting complex deeply hydrates✔️, nourishes ✔️and seals in moisture✔️.

     Anytime I have hard cuticles, I whip out this pen and easily apply the oils. It makes my skin softer, shiny,
     and healthy looking.  It lives up to all of the claims and I am so pleased with it. The best part is, I got this for free with one of e.l.f's coupons. What a steal!

     My last product is Nailene Perfect tips. I love using this when I do my nails. It makes the whole application process easier. All you have to do is firmly apply the strip on your nail, then paint and rip it off. It's so simple and convenient. I get a perfect tip everytime I do my nails. You can find this at most drugstores and it doesn't cost much. 

    Will I repurchase? Yes!
