Recent Empties

Empties posts and videos are some of my absolute favourites, so I thought I would jump on the bandwagon and do one of my own! In the interest of full disclosure, I accumulated these items over the past few months, but one of my goals of 2013 is to use up products, so hopefully I will have enough empties each month to make this a regular thing.

Here are the products I've used up with some comments about a few products that I like in particular. First, in the far left picture:

• Candles by Victoria candle in Three Wise Men (this candle was so scented--it lasted forever and I absolutely love it. The scent includes frankincense, myrrh, patchouli and sandalwood. To me, it is a slightly masculine, warm and rich scent that is perfect for winter. Definitely check these bad boys out!)
• Bath & Body Works 3-wick candles in the scents: Cranberry Woods, Tis the Season, Black Pepper Bergamot, Leaves, and Frosted Cranberry
• Bath & Body Works wallflower bulbs

Middle picture:

• DDF Blemish Fighting Cleanser (I always seem to go back to this cleanser. This is probably my third bottle. I find them at Marshalls & TJ Maxx a lot--just remember to check the expiry dates. It does exactly what it says it will do, and isn't too harsh on my skin.)
• MAC Cleanse Off Oil (my first oil cleanser, which has gotten me hooked! I'm currently using the Boscia cleansing oil, but I can foresee a return to MAC once that is out)
• Herbal Essences Conditioner
• MOR Hand Lotion in Sugar Rose Tiger Lily (in addition to having a great name, these lotions are amazing! The scent is light and blends well with a variety of perfumes. And it is incredibly hydrating on the hands, without leaving any grease or residue. I raved about another scent in this line here. And bonus: MOR is now available at Ulta.)
• Equate eyemakeup remover (isn't great on waterproof mascaras, but it does the trick and doesn't leave a film on my eyes)
• Secret deodorant (glamorous, eh?)
• L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil (I've already replaced this with a large size bottle. It's amazing and gives the best, closest shave in the world. Seriously, try it out!)
• Sally Hansen cuticle oil
• Origins Super Spot Remover Acne Treatment Gel
• Smashbox PhotoFinish Primer Light (for what it's worth, this did not break out my oily/acne-prone skin)

Far right picture:

• Neutrogena Makeup Remover Wipes
• Sunsilk conditioner sample
• DHC Oil Cleanser (this had a thinner consistency than both the MAC Cleanse Off oil and the Boscia oil cleanser, but I liked it and have gone through several samples. Perhaps a full-size purchase is in my future)
• Kate Walsh Boyfriend EDP
• Taylor Swift Wonderstruck (too young and sweet for my tastes, but to each his own! And I love getting multiple samples of a fragrance so I can really give it a fair try!)
• Tom Ford Violet Blonde EDP (Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous scent. This will be one of my next fragrance purchases, without a doubt!)

That's all I have for now but I'm working my way through several more items that are on the brink! Nothing beats the satisfaction of finishing something up--why is that?! Even using up the ink in a pen gives me that buzz! Anyways, remember to subscribe for email updates and follow me on twitter @julesssdarling!
