Product Empties with Reviews #3


Finally, another product empties with reviews! I have been meaning to do this for a long time, but the amount of (different) products to review made me hesitate. Nonetheless, here it is! I try to review products that I have never reviewed before on this blog so although I have more empties, they have already been reviewed by me in the past so I don't mention them again.

For my last 2 empties post, please go here and here. For more info. or to purchase the specific products, please go here or click on the name of a specific product. You can click on the images to enlarge them too. I hope this is helpful!

Disclaimer: I was not sent any of these products for free. I mentioned where I got each one. I am not being paid for my opinions. Affiliate links have been used.


The name rubbed off the tube, but I am sure I received the mascara linked to above from Sephora as a deluxe sample. I don't know if most mascara samples are better than the full size, but this is the 2nd sample that I have tried and loved! This made my straight lashes curl without using a curler. It also made them more thicker than what they are without mascara. I do like it enough to want the full size, but I honestly can't make myself pay $27.50 for a mascara! I do suggest trying a sample of this though if you get the chance.


I bought this to use during my sister's wedding. I don't feel like this made my makeup last longer than usual, but maybe because I didn't put as much as I should have... As for the packaging of this product, it has 2 caps which is a waste in my opinion The white spray bottle itself is made of something that gets makeup on it easily, so if you have makeup on your hands (like foundation) then wipe/wash it off before you use this product or else the bottle will look like mine eventually. This isn't really a problem unless you plan to leave your bottle out where others can see it. I do not plan on repurchasing this product. UD is known for the setting sprays (amongst other products), so I do suggest at least trying it if you haven't already.


I bought this after I tried samples and loved it! This product smells citrusy (oranges???) which I like. It also absorbs into the skin and doesn't just sit on top and leave a sticky feeling on the skin (like my current serum). I feel like this helped lighten my dark spots from acne, especially when used after the Personal Microderm (will review that in the future iA). I like that this has a pump, but to get every little bit out, I had to turn the bottle upside down, twist off the pump, and pour the collected product onto my fingers. This product got me into serums and I have repurchased this already, so I highly suggest this product.


I bought this because I want to find my perfect (sheet) mask. 1 mask comes in each pack and sells for $6. I used 1 mask about 3 times and I don't feel like this did anything for my skin. There is a lot of "wet" product in the actual sheet/fiber mask and it does cover a lot of area on the face. If left in the fridge for a while before using it, the cold mask feels good on the skin. This product isn't expensive so you can try it out if curious, but I don't plan on repurchasing the green tea one.


I bought a travel size (7 wipes) of this product to try out. The blue pack of wipes burn my eyes so I won't be repurchasing these specific towelettes.


I got this travel pack (8 wipes) in a subscription box a long time ago, so I honestly don't remember if these burned my eyes, which is my #1 concern with wipes. These did have a light scent though, which didn't bother me. I don't just use wipes to remove all my makeup, but this did take off a lot. I still suggest using face cleanser to remove makeup completely no matter if any wipes are being used or not. I like to use wipes either before taking off all my makeup with a cleanser or after using a cleanser to see if any makeup remains! I don't plan on repurchasing these only because I have A LOT of wipes to try out.


I received a travel pack (7 wipes) of these from my Walmart Winter 2014 Beauty Box. These have a strong scent and I don't remember if they burned my eyes. Like I said above, I don't just use wipes to remove all my makeup, but this did take off a lot. I still suggest using face cleanser to remove makeup completely no matter if any wipes are being used or not. I like to use wipes either before taking off all my makeup with a cleanser or after using a cleanser to see if any makeup remains! I don't plan on repurchasing these only because I have A LOT of wipes to try out.


These fall apart easily with olive oil, which I used for a while to remove makeup. I didn't try these any other way, so I might repurchase these if I need cotton rounds (for removing nail polish).

CVS Foaming Acne Face Wash

I got this from my doctor as a recommendation for my acne months ago. (My face has improved a lot, but more on that in the future iA). This is a thick white cream that has a medicated scent (probably the benzoyl peroxide). A little goes a long way and after washing my face with this, my face felt clean. I used moisturizer/oil/serum after washing my face (which I suggest after using any wash/cleanser) so I didn't notice if my face felt tight/dry. If benzoyl peroxide works for your acne, then I do suggest buying/asking your doctor for this.   


I bought this because I needed a mask and wanted to try this Allure Award Winner mask by Freeman. This is lightly scented and my skin felt soft after using this product. I think it is good as a scrub more than as a mask, so I would suggest it as a good sugar scrub. I don't plan on repurchasing this exact "mask", but I would like to try more masks by Freeman.


I got this in a gift set from a coworker and really liked this body wash. It has a nice light scent to it and with a luffa, it foams enough for a good clean wash. I do suggest trying this, but I personally don't plan on repurchasing it because I already found a body wash I like that is even more affordable (mentioned here).


This is a white "body" cream that I bought in small tins to use as hand cream while out. It does smell good at first, but after rubbing the cream into the skin, it ends up smelling bad. I don't know if it is just the tin I used, but I have another tin to try and decide whether I really like it or not.


I prefer floss that come in rolls like this compared to floss picks. I am currently using the spearmint floss and am not sure yet which one I prefer, but I do suggest everyone floss frequently (at least every other day if not every single day). I promise you will notice a difference in how clean your teeth and gums look and it will make your breath fresher. This is a definite repurchase for me!
