Beauty Vixen

10 more items to throw out. Woot.
A Schick Razor: Not sure what one this was now, but it did the job, it was definitely meant for a man though. Would I buy it again? Maybe, I really am not too picky with my razors but do prefer Schick as a brand.

Boreal Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream: This is a BB cream that self adjusts, it looks white with little beads when you squeeze it out. After you rub it a bit it changes colour. I loved it, but sadly I had it forever and there wasn't much left. Would I buy it again? Yes, I would it really worked well when I wanted a lighter feeling BB cream.

NYX Lip Crayon in Hot Red: I got this back at IMATS 2010! It needed to be tossed since I never wore it anymore. The bottom cap also went missing. Would I buy it again? No, I just never wore it although I have no reason to dislike it.

Spear Lip and Cheek Stain: I loved this stain, I loved it so much it was in my The Perfect Red Lip Deconstructed post. I really still do love it. Sadly Sephora got rid of it and this one kind of has seen better days (it went kind of liquid). Would I buy it again? Heck Yes! Sephroa bring this baby back!

Benefit Some-Kind-Of-Gorgous: This is the original shade of this fantastic cream to powder, colour adapting foundation. I love it so much I used all of it up. Would I buy it again? I would, and I have! I have a light and another original on the go right now. I like to blend the two.
Life Brand Baby Wipes: I had two of these on the go, one is natural one and one is a regular an unscented. I always end up leaving the lid off these type of things so they dried up and needed to be tossed. I must say they come in really handy if you are a blogger, wether it is wiping you hands after touching a product, wiping the product for fingerprints or just wiping your counter down quick it is great. Would I buy it again? Yes, for the $2.99 I spent yes. But right now I am using Huggies and in a refillable plastic container in hopes I can remember to shut it.

Olay Advanced Cleaning System: I got this a while back and liked it quite a bit. I mean I liked it a lot. Recently I got a Clairsonic Mia 2 and well this baby got the toss. I still think it is a good product, it works in the shower and generally is fantastic....but a clairsonic is just the best thing ever.  Would I buy it again? I would buy it as a gift for someone.

Kett Set Powder: Oh how I loved this powder. Once upon a time it was my holly grain powder and I never used anything else. I would use one up every year. I even proclaimed it a kit must have. Now I have more powders than I can keep track of. I did use this one up, there is only a fine ring left and the lid is broken off...proving I still love it. Would I buy it again?  Yes, I will get another one at IMATS this year for sure.

Essence Brow and Lash Clear Gel: Sometimes you need a clear brow gel, some times they get gross from brow pencils/powders and need to be tossed. This one is great and cheap so you don't feel bad when it comes time to toss it. Would I buy it again?  YEs, but for now I am using Wet n' Wilds' version (and I like it too).

That is all folks, another 10 that I have tossed, I feel good. Have you tossed anything lately?

Oh my, I missed my July empties post, so this one is big!
L'oreal EverCream Cleansing Conditioner: I love this stuff, as a devoted co-pooer (seriously check out this post here, I will be doing an updated routine sometime in the fall) I believe I need this stuff to live now. Would I buy it again? Yes, I am already working on a new bottle.
Sebastian Re-Shaper Hair Spray: so I got this back when Glossybox was in Canada as a gift from them. It is worth $20, but it doesn't work!!!! There is propellant in it, AT ALL! I can only get trickles out. No the nozzle is not clogs, just not excellent. So I have to toss a full bottle of pricy product. Would I buy it again? No, that is a lot for hair spray.
Avon Advanced Techniques Serum: I liked this, but I used it up. Would I buy it again? Probably not, I like other serums more. It was a great value though.
L'oreal Precious Oils Colour Radiance: I loved this oil so much. It was cheap, big, worked well. Nothing bad to say at all only love for it Would I buy it again?  Yes!!! A million times yes, but for now I am using the L'oreal EverSleek Precious Oil Treatment (which I also love).
L'oreal Everstrong Reconstructing Conditioner: I got this to repair my over coloured hair, I also saw it was the only conditioner with protein in it...so yeah that was another reason I got it Would I buy it again? Yes, I am currently working on another bottle I got on sale. I love the scent too!
Bath and Body Works Butterfly Flower Bubble Bath: I loved the scent Butterfly Flower, this was an ok bubble bath, I feel the body wash would have worked just as well. Would I buy it again?  sadly discontinued scent
Neutrogna Ultra Sheer Body Mist Sunblock spf 100: I got a friend to get me this in the USA, I love the high spf. Would I buy it again? Yes, sadly not sold at this high an spf in Canada, I would however consider buying something with a lower spf in the same formulation.
The Body Shop Cranberry Joy Body Butter: I love cranberry , but this older batch smells strange on me so I am tossing it Would I buy it again: Yes, Cranberry Joy is a classic holiday scent that I love.
All these broke!!! So mad. I replaced the Essence and the Hard Candy, both which shattered. May I note Hard Candy, while a fantastic company, had crap packaging where the hinges will often break. Thee Hard Candy Bronzer was in Tiki. The BBW Perfume was Beautiful Day and the highlighter was a mini Jose Maran. I liked all of them and was sad to loose them.
Just listing the mascaras, bottom to top Avon Superextend, Marcelle Power Volume, Elf Eye Makeup remover pen, Max Factor Vivid Impact Mascara (x) and Avon Superextend Extreme. I like them all, I would rebuy the Avon Superextend and Marcelle right away.
Elf Primer: I buy it because it is cheap. Would I buy it again? Yes, I've got a new one and some colour corrector ones right now.
Elf Lip Lock Pencil: You are supposed to put it around your lips to prevent bleeding, it goes on clear and waxy. It is quite old so I am tossing it. Would I buy it again? Yes, I got a new one started.
The Body Shop Sweet Lemon Lip Butter: I love the texture of their lip butters. The lemon one reminds me of lemon curd. It is pretty old and starting to smell off. Would I buy it again?  Sweet lemon is no longer in production, but I would consider it in another scent.
Avon Anew Rejuvenate Glycolic Facial Treatment: This bottle has a pre-measured dropper to put glycolic acid on daily. Would I buy it again? Yes, I think Avon has renamed the product though.
Nivea Rich Regenerating Night Care: I got this so long ago, I am finally just tossing it. Would I buy it again? No, it is just too thick, even for me.
New SKin Scar Therapy: I got this to try to make some of my more prominent new scars fade faster or look less three dimensional (puffy). I gave up after a while. Would I buy it again? No! I don't think it works at all. Just grease.
Joe Fresh Fresh Glass Lip Gloss: This might be the worst gloss ever. Smells strange, tastes worse, no pigment  Would I buy it again? NO!
A whole load of polishes!!! I am choosing to toss these because I will never wear them again. There are also two perfume rollers filled with an old classic of mine, The Healing Garden's Green Tea. I loved the scent so much when I was a teen that my hubby got me a whole bunch when they were on clearance when we first dated (way back in 2000)....for some reason I found these in a box a while back. I must toss them but I am a bit nostalgic looking at them.
These dollarma wipes I found in my closet, they must have fallen back there a long time ago. I used to use these for wiping up spills on my desk and cleaning up after swatching. I heard that last year many of these had bacteria in them and were recalled, never again will I buy them.
Davids Tea Main Squeeze 28 g  I used up this one time use pack to make a big jug of ice tea. I really liked it, but Mango Fruit Punch is still the best fruit iced tea around Would I buy it again?  No.
Davids Tea Mamma Mia 50 g  I used this one up quite quickly. I love it for its strong Hibiscus taste and the tang that comes along with it. Would I buy it again? Yes, I might get some next summer.

A new month, a new empties post..woohoo.
As you can see not everything fit in the mail box, and I am ok with that, I just want to toss/recycle the stuff already.
Bliss Raspberry Champagne Soap Suds Body Wash / Bubble Bath This was a small bottle I got at xmas time at Sephora. Would I buy it again? I would say no, I liked it but it had sparkles in it and I hate sparkles in body products. Other than that it was good.
Avon Anew REveralist Gel This was a night gel with a whole lot of silicone in it. Would I buy it again?  No, it actually is only half used.
L'oreal Total Repair 5 Hair Masque I love this stuff. Not sure how many I've gone through already, but it works wonders on my hair. Would I buy it again? YES!!!! I don't have another one on the go right now, but I will be grabbing one as soon as it goes on sale.
Avon Naturals Kids Amazing Apple Detangling Spray Yes it is a kid product, yes I love it. It works really well and my hair is growing so I want to take care of it when brushing it out. Would I buy it again?  Yes, one is on my next avon order.
Generic Pencil Sharpener name says it all, it got gooped up and nasty after years of use. Would I buy it again? I got a new one from Essenece, it is blue and has a lid.
Garnier Eye Roller I got this 2 years ago and never used it up Would I buy it again?  I would not, I am using the tinted version and loving it.
Nars Eye Primer this was a sample I got in a small nars set at sephora Would I buy it again?I might, I liked it, but didn't think it was better then any other brands.
Ardell Eye Makeup Remover Wipes  I got these for lazy days or really stuborn stuff Would I buy it again? Yes.
Sally Hansen Clear Polishes I never used these up, and frankly I hate them.
Bioré Combination Skin Balancing Cleanser I love this stuff and so does my man, read about it here. Would I buy it again?  Yes, I am waiting for a sale though.
Bach Rescue Remedy ok so this isn't beauty, but I did keep it on my vanity/desk. Why? I don't know. What I do know is that after a decade plus of using it, the only thing that works is its placebo effect and the fact the drops of booze calm me down. There I said it. Would I buy it again? No, I have gotten so many over the years and used to swear by it for my panic attacks and night terror, but now I know it is just a placebo effect (I know too much information).
Annabelle Mineral Foundation  a friend gave this to me, Would I buy it again? Discontinued, and to be honest it is about 3 shades too dark. I'm not sure why I kept it this long.
Makeup Forever HD Primer I love this stuff, it makes for a great primer, but I am glad I used it all up. Would I buy it again? Yes, I have another tube from when I got a set this holiday season.
L'oreal Volouminous Power 24H Mascara  I used it up, I love the brush so much I kept it. Would I buy it again? Yes, I have another tube ready to go when I use up some other mascaras. I really want to try the waterproof version.
Anastasia Brow Gel I got this in a glymm box a long time ago Would I buy it again? I have another on the go, and I love how it is a strong gel, but I will not pay their price for it, that is just nuts.
Essence Eyeliner Pen I used this one up, loved the precision to this brush Would I buy it again? Yes, but I believe they have replaced it with the Stays No Matter What version, which I have to still try out.
Rimmel Brown Eye Pencil Ok this baby is so old there is not real name left on it. Regardless I think they no longer sell it or I would have replaced it along time ago Would I buy it again? I did like it and would get it again but instead I am trying out the Essence brown retractible pencil.
Estee Lauder Night Cream This was a sample I got from my sister in law who works at an Estee Lauder counter (got to love that) Would I buy it again? Yes, I liked it a lot, but I have many lotions on the go right now.
Mark. No Place To Run Pencils I loved these when they first came out, but sadly they have gotten a bit dry over the years and now need to be tossed Would I buy it again? Yes, I really did like them.

Thanks for reading my empties and mini reviews.
