April & May Empties/ Producs I'm chucking out

I decided that I need to put together at least 2 months worth of empties/ products I'm chucking out instead of every month because I feel like I do not go through enough in a month but if I leave it too long like I have been doing I have way too many to go through. I know I may have hoarder tendencies but it annoys me to leave them hanging around for so long when they belong in the bin.
Anyway here are the products I'm throwing out since April & May.


   Nivea Daily Essentials Facial Cleansing Wipes: I'm not a fan of Nivea wipes, I feel like they just push around on my skin making me work harder to take my makeup off at the end of the day. I always cleanse after anyway & it leaves my skin feeling refreshed but I feel like there is still quite a bit of makeup on. I much prefer the Garnier Wipes, so would I repurchase? Only if there was no other choice at the time of looking.
  Cutex Moisture Guard Nail Polish Remover: When I pick up NP remover it's usually just whatever is there when I'm looking for it. I've used this brand before and it's pretty good, the nail polish comes off easily and it doesn't feel like all the natural oils have been stripped. Repurchase? More than likely
  Sex & The City Lust Body lotion: I got a couple of these lotions in a kit from Christmas, I've just been trying to use them up as quickly as possible but there's nothing special to them. Repurchase? Nope as it came in a kit.
   Wella Sp Colour Save Shampoo: I've been using this shampoo for ages and really like it, as my hair colour has an infamous tendency to fade fast, using this along with rinsing my hair with cold water & using a colour protectant spray afterwards probably prolongs the life of my hair colour, but it's had to tell because I wouldn't want to go without using this. Repurchase? Again & again!
   Joice Moisture Recovery Conditioner: My hair is quite dry and as I use conditioner I always leave it in for a couple of minutes & my hair always feels super hydrated afterwards. Repurchase? More than likely, I'm using another one at the moment but I would def. buy this again some time down the line.
 Colgate Optic White Toothpaste: I forgot to include this in the main pic & toothpaste isn't normally included in these posts haha but this was something different that I started using a couple of months back. It is meant to whiten your teeth over 4 weeks but I only found a slight improvement at first but then nothing. Repurchase? Only if it was on special, to give it another try.
   Smashbox cream liner duo: I bought this off a blogsale a few years ago and only really used the black side, and I tried to start using the brown side more but I just find myself never wearing brown eyeliner. It had also started to dry out a bit. Repurchase? No.
  Maybelline Line Allure eyeliner: I bought this in Thailand a couple of years ago and while there was still product it was quite dry & hard to work with although I like the matte finish it had. But whenever I used it some would go in my eyelashes & become quite hard, ruining my mascara. Repurchase? No, you can't get it over here anyway.
  Prestige Brow Gel: This used to be clear, trust me, but after dipping it back in after using it on my filled in eyebrows just made it look a lot grosser although I'm sure the actual product is fine. I just never bothered with brow gel anyway. Repurchase? No
  Max Factor False Lash Effect: Really liked this mascara, I had it for about 10 months until I decided I should finally throw it out as it had dried up quite a bit anyway. Repurchase? I already have a back up so not for a while!
  Too Faced Shadow Insurance: My first proper eyeshadow primer I had ever used, and I had been using it a couple of years. This is my second tube and I could still cut the end and dig a lot of product out so I am not officially just throwing it out, but by the time I come to my next empties post it should be well & truly gone. Repurchase? Definitely, just trying out others for a bit.
   Physcians Formula concealer stick: You can see that I have officially finished this product! I liked it but the coverage wasn't the best, but it was a good colour for over the top of my foundation to cover blemishes. Repurchase? No, trying out others.
  Bourjois Touche Healthy Mix Concealer pen: All the writing has completely rubbed off but this was a nice sheer concealer for underneath the eyes, but you would want to use a full coverage one underneath. Good for brightening & reflecting light. Repurchase? Maybe one day, I want to try the Maybelline Lumi Magique or the Clarins one next.
These are two other random things I'm just going to throw out, the top one is an old school eyeshadow kit thing I think my mum used to use, I got it from my Great Aunty years ago before I really had any other makeup so I used it a little bit then, but now I have a larger range I never use it.
The bottom one is clearly fake MAC that I got from Thailand because I was curious of the quality, it swatches well but that's about it. These were just wasting space so I want to get rid of them!!

*Phew* that was a lot more than it seemed like at the time haha. I might just leave it a month in between if I can finish any products until now & July!

How well do you do with finishing products?

  6. That's so weird, I love the Nivea make up wipes and I love the Cutex nail polish remover. Doesn't it feel so good to relieve yourself of empties?!!
