Empties: October 2013

Even though it's almost December I still thought I would share my October Empties. Ones I will miss are the Kiehl's Magic Elixer and the NUDE Day Moisturizer. These are definite repurchases down the line. As a product junkie, I've always got plenty of backups and more fun products to try. But every once in a while I come back to my tried and true products. I hope you enjoy the video linked below!

Empties: August 2013

Many favorites this past month hit the dust. I had to say goodbye to a luxurious and unnecessary (but oh so pampering) love, my LUSH Almond & Coconut Shower Smoothie; which I will be sure to repurchase next time I make my way to LUSH.

It's always frustrating that by the time I make it to finishing a product and talking about it in my Empties videos/posts, it's been discontinued. Unfortunately this month, two products that I really enjoyed are currently unavailable! Otherwise, I hope you find all the mini reviews helpful and interesting. Do note, that as I am a beauty product junkie, there is no judging needed for the hoards of product I pound through over the mere course of 30 days!
