lots of hair and skincare empties to kick off the year:
I must mention here that I have to wash my hair every day or else it gets really limp. I have started to skip one day a week – typically Sundays when it doesn’t matter if I just tie my hair back – I honestly don’t think my hair / scalp is any better for skipping the one day of washing. Anyway, onto the empties.
Head & Shoulders Shampoo dry Scalp care with Almond Oil – $8 for 400ml (drugstores)
I always have a bottle of H&S on rotation come fall time considering that my scalp gets incredibly itchy and prone to dryness and flakes. This almond oil version was just ok – I still like the green apple version for both the scent and how bouncy it makes my hair.
Stash Davor: 7/10 Recompra: Não
Clear Scalp & Hair appeal therapy damage and color repair Deep Nourishing treatment Mask – $10 for 180ml (drugstores)
Eu amo essas coisas! but I suspect it is being discontinued because I scored a few tubes on clearance. just so typical! It’s a rich cream conditioner that I massage into my scalp focusing on the crown and temple area – leave on for 3 minutes and rinse out. This mask helps relief the itch and tightness without weighing my hair down. It smells really great too.
Stash worthiness: 9/10 Repurchase: Yes (unsure if discontinued)
Arrojo curl Definer – $22 for 150ml (salons & beauty parlor supplies)
I scored a few tubes of this from the local barber supply store for only $4.99 each. originally I only gotten 1 tube, then discovered that I really like it, so I ran back the next week to get the rest they had left. It’s a similar product to my beloved curl Keeper – it supplies slightly less hold than the curl Keeper though.
Stash worthiness: 8/10 Repurchase: Yes (if I can find it on discount!)
Tresemme perfectly (un)done sea salt spray – $10 for 200ml (drugstores)
I wasn’t a fan of this – didn’t supply much structure to the hair. I had to spray about 20 spritzes into my hair to get any body. It felt like it was a very diluted version of a texturizing spray. considering that I had to spray a lot more than normal, I went through this bottle incredibly quickly. I got this for complimentary so I really shouldn’t complain.

Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne anxiety control 3-in-1 Hydrating Acne treatment – $15 for 59ml (drugstores… who knows anymore)
I used this ages ago and forgot about it, and made a decision to give it another try last year because it had such rave reviews on Beautypedia. It’s a great hydrating gel – I like it a lot more than the oft-hyped La Roche Posay Effaclar K – both of them I use as a preventative maintenance on my t-zone, especially my chin where I get hormonal breakouts. I find the Neutrogena to be a lot more hydrating, and it’s a much better value. I’ve read that this product is discontinued in the US, but still available in Canada, although I’ve not seen it on store shelves lately. I have one unopened tube in my stash.
Stash worthiness: 9/10 Repurchase: Yes (still not sure if it’s genuinely discontinued)
Mary Kay TimeWise even complexion Essence – $45 for 29ml (Mary Kay reps and online)
This has a 4 star rating on the Beautipedia, which is the primary reason why I got it. For me, it was a great serum but I didn’t see noticeable results. The crucial ingredient in this serum is niacinamide which is meant to help reduce discolouration – I observed no reduction on my hyperpigmentation or freckles (my lifelong battle!). I did go through this serum rather swiftly – maybe I need to try another tube to see results?
Stash Davor: 7/10 Recompra: Talvez
Beyond belief ABH Intensive repair treatment – ~$8 for 53ml (Sally appeal Supply)
This is such an old product. beyond belief is the private label brand of Sally appeal Supply. way back before Paula’s choice chemical exfoliants were all the rage, the beyond belief the only game in town. and it was a fantastic product – combining AHA and BHA into a single serum. It left my skin clear of clogged pores and looking glowy. but of course, like everything good, they made a decision to play around with the product range – the current beyond belief products are a pale comparison to the former glory days!
Stash worthiness: 9/10 Repurchase: No (discontinued – are you noticing a theme here?)
Shiseido Bio-Performance advanced incredibly Revitalizing Cream – $92 for 50ml (department stores)
This is not cheap, but it’s my HG wintertime nighttime face cream. It’s rich without being overly oily. It’s hydrating and softening on my skin, and I don’t break out or get clogged pores with it. This jar lasts me a long time because I only use it during fall and wintertime months. I’ll never be without this unless they change the formula, or if the price becomes prohibitive.
Stash Davor: 10/10 Recompra: Sim
Shiseido Facial Cotton – $11 for 165pcs (drugstores and department stores)
Not much else to say about thesepillowy cotton goodness except that I wish they were cheaper.
Stash Davor: 10/10 Recompra: Sim
TheFaceShop Multi 5 Layer Cotton Pads – $5 for 80pcs (TheFaceShop)
I use these cotton pads for one thing only: cleaning up eye shadow fall-out when I do my eye makeup. They’re lint-free and perfectly sized for the job. I do my eye makeup first before foundation, so it’s easy to just pour a bit of micellar water onto these and wipe the under eye area clean. A box of these lasts me forever considering that I use each layer separately, and I cut them in half as well (80 x 5 x 2 = 400pcs).
Stash Davor: 10/10 Recompra: Sim
Rougier Glycerin – $6 for 100ml (drugstores)
I use this pure glycerin to make my own Zoya “Remove+” which is essentially acetone with a dash of glycerin. I add about a tbsp of this into a 200ml bottle of acetone-based nail polish remover and shake it up. Funciona como um encanto.
Stash Davor: 9/10 Recompra: Sim
Kibio Suncare face lotion SPF 50 – $22 for 40ml
I’m an idiot and this unopened bottle of sunscreen is already expired before I had a chance to use it. Kids, let this be a lesson to you about hoarding appeal items. I didn’t even like this – very greasy.
Stash Davor: 6/10 Recompra: Não
Cake Milk Made Velveteen Hand cream – $18 for 100ml (Sephora and online)
I love the scent of this! It smells like a mixture of Rockets candies (I think Americans call them Smarties) and marshmallows. The formula is fantastic too – rich but not greasy and absorbs quickly. I wish it was a lot more readily available and less expensive!
Stash Davor: 9/10 Recompra: Sim
Haken essential fragrance Cuticle Oil in Cranberry – $7 for 15ml (Sally appeal Supply)
I’ve had this bottle forever. I use it every single week on my cuticles after my manicure. but last week, I opened the bottle and the oil had gone off! So odd how something could be fine one week and spoiled by the next. Ah well, RIP Cranberry cuticle oil, you were a good pal. I got this on clearance from Sally appeal Supply. I have an unopened bottle from the same brand but in a melon scent.
Stash worthiness: 9/10 Repurchase: No
Maybelline Age Rewind Erase Dark Circles treatment Concealer in Neutralizer and medium – $12 for 6ml (drugstores)
These are HG under eye concealers for me. I’m not able to find a best match in the shade range offered, but I’ve found that mixing 2 parts Neutralizer and 1 part medium gets me a good match. There’s quite a lot of product contained in those tubes – they last me about 8 months with daily use. I have no issues with the packaging considering that I just dab the product onto my ring finger and apply to my face that way. someone made a great comment about the sponge applicator on these – when you think about it, there’s really no difference between this versus a concealer with a doe-foot applicator.

Jack Black intense Lip therapy Lip Balm in Lemon & Chamomile – $8.50 for 7g (Sephora)
I know there are die-hard Jack Black fans and I’m just not one of them. I don’t find this to be that hydrating and it doesn’t seem to last very long on my lips either. The only things I liked about this was; it’s not incredibly glossy – I liked using this to apply over lipstick to add some slip but no shine. And, it also smelled nice.
Stash Davor: 5/10 Recompra: Não
Maybelline Eye studio Master drama in bold brown – $12 for 0.28g (drugstores)
This is a pretty good liner for the lower lash line (I mostly use pencil liners on the lower lash line – I use liquid or gel liners for my upper lash line). It stays well if I use powder eye shadow on top – on its own, it does tend to fade a bit. I also find that automatic pencils seem to get used up really swiftly and this was no exception.
Stash Davor: 7/10 Recompra: Não
CoverGirl Flamed Out mascara – $10 for 11ml (drugstores)
Bah, what a letdown. I had a really tough time applying this mascara onto my lashes – the weirdo hourglass wand shape was utterly useless. The formula was a clumpy goopy mess that refused to build any length. It was also a flaky nightmare. It was like CoverGirl wrote down all the traits of a bad mascara and aimed to create it. The only saving grace was that it didn’t smudge and was fairly easy to remove at night.
Stash Davor: 3/10 Recompra: Não
L’Oreal Bare Naturale mascara (discontinued)
Another tube bites the dust. I did a review on this HG, but discontinued mascara. This mascara saved the CoverGirl flame Out Mascara by supplying the much needed length and separation when I layered it on top. I think I have 4 of these precious tubes of mascaras left in my stash. *suspirar*

bareMinerals Locked & Coated waterproof Lash topcoat – $15 for 7.5ml (Sephora)
I did a comparison post of this product against the Clarins double Fix’ Mascara topcoat, and I preferred the Clarins more. I’ll be going back to the Clarins even though it’sMuito mais caro, apenas funciona melhor. A maior questão que eu tinha com os bareminários era o projeto de pincel: as cerdas eram tão curtas que não poderiam entrar nos cílios para colocá-los com o tosto. Eu tive que realmente pressionar a varinha contra meus cílios para tentar obter o produto neles.

Amostras
Clinique Enxaguar Limpador de Espuma
Este é um limpador sem frescuras que é mais adequado para pele oleosa ou combo – eu achei que fosse retirado para a pele. Eu não compraria isso em tamanho maior.
Leite de soja de Kiehl & Mel corpo polonês
Isso é realmente não utilizado. Meu assim recebeu isso em um saco de saque e ficou muito satisfeito por me dar. No entanto, quando eu virei para ler os ingredientes, observei que consiste dessas micro-vias (polietileno) que sufocam os peixes. Então, vai no bin em vez de ser enxaguado pelo ralo.
Bees de Burt Roswater & Glicerina Toner
Por apenas o nome, este toner soa como seria gentil, mas infelizmente não é. Tem pesado no teor alcoólico e eu usei isso para limpar minhas axilas como uma atualização.
21 Full e 3 produtos de tamanho de amostras para começar o novo ano! Lembrete: Hoje é o último dia para entrar em minhas coisas muito amadas ofertas – não perca!
