Running On Empty: October Empties!

Bath & Body Works White Tea and Ginger Shower Gel: one of my favorite bbw fragrances. I have one more bottle of this shower gel left, and once it's gone, I'll be repurchasing more.

Estee Lauder Soft Clean Silky Hydrating Lotion: I have a bone to pick with Estee Lauder! But, that rant will have to wait for another post. I LOVED the entire Soft Clean line, and the Silky Hydrating Lotion was PERFECT for dry skin. I would repurchase, but alas, the line has been discontinued.

Chi Silk Infusion Silk Reconstructing Complex: Silk Infusion leaves my hair soft, manageable, and shiny. I mix this with whatever leave-in conditioner I'm using at the moment, applying it to the lower half of my hair, and blow dry. When I leave my hair curly, I also mix this with Paul Mitchell's The Conditioner. My curly a defined, frizz-free, and luscious! Will also repurchase!

Maybelline The Falsies Volum' Express Hydrofuge Mascara: this mascara was just okay. Useless I want to give it another go, I don't think I'll repurchase.

Lush Lip Scrub: This was a gift from my friend Rie, was my first introducion to Lush.  I wasn't keen on the bubblegum flavor, but I did a great job at exfoliating my lips. I've already repurchased this product, except in the mint flavor.

Colgate Maxfresh Toothpaste: the only toothpaste I'll ever use. I never thought I'd say this about a toothpaste, but I don't like the new packaging. I'm not sure if this tube was defective, but after time, the seam started to come undone.

Shiseido Integrate Nail Polish Remover: this is a decent remover, the only reason I keep buying it, is because it's the only larger size available at my local store.

Delon Premium Cotton Rounds: I use these cotton rounds to remove my nail polish. I get them in bulk at Costco, so I'll repurchase once I'm done with the box.

Honorable Mentions:

 Dior Duo Express Instant Eye Makeup Remover: a good eye makeup remover, but I love my Shu oil cleansers, so I won't be purchasing a full size.

THREE Gentle Cleansing Oil: this cleaning oil works in the same fashion as Shu Uemura's cleansing oils. Unlike Shu's, THREE's Gentle Cleansing Oil requires a little more product to fully remove all traces of makeup. I really enjoyed using this product, but it seems the THREE cleanser lacked that "little something extra" my skin gets from the Shu cleanser. But, I did like this product enough to give it another go, and purchase a full size in the future.

THREE Balancing Foam: a great foaming cleanser! It left my normal to dry skin feeling/looking hydrated,  flawless, and radiant. I'll be purchase a full size in the future. 

THREE Gentle Purifying Foam: I couldn't notice any difference between the Gentle Purifying Foam cleanser and the Balancing Foam. My skin loved them both, and I would purchase this cleanser as well, but I haven't seen it at the counter.

THREE Balance UV Protector: a great UV protector that quickly sinks into the skin. I will be purchasing a full size of this product in the future.

THREE Balance Emulsion: another great care product from THREE! A lovely, lightweight Moisturizer that I will be purchasing when Summer rolls around.

THREE Foot & Leg Oil AC: I wasn't sold on this oil treatment. The oil took too long to absorb into the skin, so I had to be careful not to lean against the furniture. Also, the oil bleed into my socks, almost killing me as I slipped while walking on my wooden floors.

What did you use up in October?

Looking gorgeous one lipstick at a time.
