June Empties


Yes, another month flew by and it is end of June and summer is finally here. Yay!

As usual, finished a couple of Bath and Body Works 3-wick candles. This month, they are Honey Suckle & Cheers to Capri(Limoncello). As you can tell, I am a big fan of citrus lemon scented candles. This Honey Suckle has got to me my third one and love it. Cheers to Capri is a nice lemon scented one and it reminds me of the lemon-scented Pledge.

2 Hair Products: Tresemme Keratin Smooth Heat Protection Shine Spray & Organix Moroccan Argan Oil. Tresemme heat protectant is the best I have tried and this keratin smooth version is my first one. I don't find a whole lot of difference from the original one. Just the scent is a little nicer. Organix Moroccan argan oil is a more affordable version for the Moroccan oil which is 3 times more. I just find you just have to use a bit more of the Organix version to get silky soft hair but still as good. 

La Roche Posay Anthelios is my must-have sunscreen. I use the facial one year-around and refuse to try any other brand. The body version is nice but a bit sticky to the touch. 

My holy grail foundation as I have mentioned zillion times in this blog. Marc Jacobs Genius Gel in 32 Beige Light. Hands down, it is the best foundation I have used for oily combo skin. Light to medium coverage. Don't have to apply setting powder to stay matte. If you have extremely dry skin though, it may emphasize on dry spots. Yes, it is a pricey foundation but I love it so much that I'd rather splurge on a good one and save on other products.

Origins A Perfect World Age Defense Treatment Toner is my first one and my usual is their United State Balancing Toner. This one is nice but I find the United State really helps with controlling blemishes.

Ole Henriksen Ultimate Lift Eye Gel is a very nice and interesting texture of eye gel. I apply it at night time and it is perfect for overnight moisturizing and lifting. I heard they come up with a new formula and I will definitely re-purchase it.

Another deluxe sample-sized product I used up is the Josie Maran Pure Argan Oil Light. I have tried both the original version and the light version and for facial application, definitely go for the light version. I use the original one for the roots of my hair.

Shiseido White Lucent Brightening Cleansing Foam came with one of the White Lucent set I bought last November. I love their White Lucent Dark Circles eye cream but not sure about this foaming cleanser. Just so-so and it is quite pricey so don't think I would buy the full-sized one.

Last but not least is Lush Sweetie Pie Shower Gel. Love this sweet-scented shower gel and this is my third or fourth tube I finished. Will definitely re-purchase after I use up my other Lush shower products.

Have you tried any of the products?

    1. I like La Roche Posay on my face as it is ultra light and there is no stickiness to it and the best thing is it doesn't break me out. I heard Clarins sunscreen is pretty good too. I will have to go try in the store and test out the consistency.

  2. Great empties! Good job finishing up a foundation! I've used the original josie maran oil but it's a bit heavy for me! I'm using tarte's one right now and I really like Boscia's oil as well

    1. I rarely finish up a foundation so that tells a lot about how much I love the Marc Jacobs foundation. I have tried Tarte's oil and it is quite good too.

    1. This is the best face sunscreen I have ever used. It is light and it is not sticky at all. Best thing is it doesn't break me out unlike a lot of other brands. I haven't really noticed any scents with Origins products. Too bad the scents bother you :(
