Empties: November 2013

The last day of December and I'm posting my November Empties. I've become such a cliche bad blogger. But I promise, I will not apologize. Empty products and mini reviews are fun to read/watch regardless of when and how long it took to finish the product. Moving on, November was a month of finishing large quantities of key hair styling products while also getting rid of a few products that have been needing to move out of my collection. Products to be missed are the Bumble & bumble prep and the Mario Badescu Keratoplast Cleansing Lotion. Be sure to check out the video below to watch my mini reviews on all the products listed.

Empties: September 2012

As per usual my makeup and beauty product addiction is blatantly obvious via my empties posts/videos. I still will never understand how it is possible that I finish this many products. Even though 95% of these products took more than a month to finish, I never realized how fast I fly through products. At least I know I'm getting my money's worth since I'm getting through the products and enjoying the whole process of trying out new things.
