I am determined to post this before going to bed! I need to be back on track. I am excited that someone emailed me her empties!!!

 

Kelly's empties and handsome dog, Charley.
Kelly’s empties and handsome dog, Charley.

The first couple things that I noticed about Kelly’s picture is that her rug, floors, and walls are clean; her adorable dog;  and Lush products. Here’s her writeup. “Here’s some photos of my Saturday empties including Lush’s Volcano foot mask for sons smelly feet, D’fluff, strawberry soap, Ultrabland cleanser, (best makeup remover ever), Chocolate Cupcake face mask, and Sweetie pie shower gel, Benefit Puff Off under eye depuffer, and of course, my HG sunblock,  Hawaiian Tropic sensitive faces sunblock spf30.  Charley our dog, thinks modeling is hard work best left to cats.” I think Charley makes an excellent model. I want to give him lots of pets. Thank You, Kelly!

 

A good week!
A good week!

It was a great week for empties.

 

 Deep Steep Body Wash
Deep Steep Body Wash

deep steep tangerine melon body wash: I received this made in the USA in a defunct Eco Emi January Deluxe Beauty Box.  I miss that subscription although it had a poor ending when the person running Eco Emi left the company. t has a great scent, protects the bunnies, and is gluten-free.

 

Yarok Leave-In Conditioner
Yarok Leave-In Conditioner

Yarok Feed Your Ends Leave-In Conditioner: I am running out of things to say about Yarok because I have written about Yarok often in the past few weeks. This sample is from the Petit Vour Mystery Box that is different than the Petit Vour Monthly Subscription Boxes Subscriptionista reviews. I realized when I used the spray this time that I spray it about 10-15 times throughout my hair. My curls look great with the leave-in conditioner. It is on my list to rebuy.

 

Shea Moisture Strengthen, Grow & Restore Treatment Masque
Shea Moisture Strengthen, Grow & Restore Treatment Masque

She Moisutre Strengthen, Grow, & Restore Treatment Masque: I’m on the search for a great conditioner and masque. I like the 10 in 1 hair masque better. I am still searching. I didn’t notice any difference in my hair.

 

Coola Pina Colada Sunscreen Spray
Coola Pina Colada Sunscreen Spray

Coola Pina Colada Sunscreen Spray SPF 30 Sport: My little guy loves this sunscreen. We share it. The EWG rates the 2013 Coola formula as a 4.  I tend to use this sunscreen when I am in a hurry because it’s quick to apply.

 

TATCHA Body Butter

TATCHA Body Butter: Yes, I scooped up what I could after I took the picture. I love TATCHA. The body butter absorbs easily into my skin. This body butter is my favorite.

 

Acure Repairing Conditioner
Acure Repairing Conditioner

Acure Repairing Conditioner: I received the conditioner sample in the Whole Foods Weekender Bag. Be sure to enter our bag giveaway. It had a light scent and did not tangle my hair. I tried to stretch this out for 2 uses and wasn’t able to because of my hair length and thickness. I may buy it if it is on sale.

 

Balanced Guru No Frizz Oil
Balanced Guru No Frizz Oil

Balanced Guru No Frizz Oil: The first time I heard of the oil was when I received it in the Summer 2014 FabFitFun box. It worked well in my hair although it took me time to become used to the scent. I also received it in one time Goodebox purchases. I purchased the one above from the Goodebox Shop. The oil is a favorite of mine.

 

Earthbody Dream oil
Earthbody Dream oil

Earthbody Dream Oil: I first received the dream oil in the November 2014 Petit Vour subscription box. I was happy to see it in the Petit Vour Mystery Box. The name throws me off because the oil is to bring clarity to the mind. I am going to put this on my Christmas list. I enjoyed those moments of quietness while rubbing the oil on me after showering. Snark away, Subscriptionista 🙂

 

Plantlife Oatmeal Almond Soap
Plantlife Oatmeal Almond Soap

PlantLife Oatmeal Almond Soap The soap came in the Goodebox Spring Bonus boxes. I received them in my boxes and also received a couple in swaps. Thank you! It’s a gentle exfoliation soap free of chemicals, parabens phthalates, and SLS.

 

saty8
deep steep tangerine melon hand cream: I received this hand cream in an Eco Emi Random Deluxe Beauty Box when it was going out of business. I’ve kept it at my computer desk. It absorbs easily and has a light, almost unnoticeable scent. I would buy it if I ever run out of hand cream. I use my TATCHA hand cream once in the morning and once at night. I use all other hand creams during the day as needed.

 

I apologize for the pictures. I took the pictures late at night. I tried to fiddle with the pictures in Photoshop, but it is late. The only thing I know how to do in Photoshop is to autotone photos that are dark and resize them. I don’t even know how to crop pictures!

I do feel better because I am back on track with posting! Thank you again, Kelly, for sending your picture!

    Great empties!
    And all I remembered was to not throw the foil spa day from today.
    Acure shampoo and conditioner in mint something:
    Shampooed lathered which was great for sulfate free but something about it I did not like probably not feeling squeaky clean … I think maybe I need to admit that I need sulfate in shampoos. Not going to quit until I finish my sulfate shampoo samples. The conditioner was better. It did not have a tingly feeling but it smelled minty.
    Acure argan cell renewal shower gel or something like that:
    did not like scent and went on to apply other shower gel to refresh the scent to my nose. Did not feel renewed but remedied.
    I am almost out of one love scrub I have been using it sparingly on knees and elbows :/

    Wow! Sub Bella and Kelly had a great week! Way to go! I only finished a few foils this week.

    One of the foils I finished was the Jergens Natural Glow moisturizer. They were handing them out on the beach in South Beach a few years ago, but I just got around to using it. It is a self-tanner, though it is very very subtle. It was easy to apply and no streaks, but it stunk like a self tanner just the same. I don’t think I’d purchase a full size.

      I have been saving up empties for this post and if you turn 5 black pots in to Lush, you get a free face mask.
