This month's empties:

*Not pictured*- Evo Fabuloso Platinum Blonde Color Intensifying Conditioner- This was my 3rd bottle I used up in the last few years and I really think this does a great job at toning my hair and keeping the brassiness away from my blonde hair for a while. I used this as my conditioner once a week and left it on for about 5 minutes in the shower before I washed it off. It smells amazing and always left my hair baby smooth until the next wash.

*Not pictured* Neautrogena Makeup Removing wipes- I've gone through dozens of packs of these in the last few years so it's safe to say this one is a HG item.

BBW Pretty As a Peach body lotion- another HG item for me that I've repurchased countless times. I like to use this after I get out of the shower to moisturize my skin and leave me smelling like a giant peach all day.

Garnier Fructis Color Shield Conditioner- I'm a huge fan of Garnier's product's fruity smells but I'm not big on their actual products. I only used this up because my kid decided to finish half the bottle and open a brand new one right after. I can't say I noticed much of a difference in my hair color but it did leave my hair soft and smelling great. Overall, this is not a product that I see myself purchasing or recommending.

BBW Shower Gels- both great scents but the Winter Candy Apple will always be one of my favorite BBW scents alongside the Pretty as a Peach collection.

Loreal Series Expert Vitamino Color Hair Mask- this was actually pretty neat because of how FAST it worked. You can literally leave this on your hair for just a minute and it makes all the difference in how silky smooth your hair will be until the next wash. While it was pricey, I feel like I bought this last summer and I used this once a week and barely finished it up so in the long run, it was very worth it. I would definitely repurchase this and recommend it to anyone looking for an easy, quick hair mask that will leave your hair smooth, shiny and smelling like berries 🙂

Too Faced BTW Etheral Powder- I can't even count how many times I have recommended this product on BIC. It is currently one of my favorite setting powders because of how well it sets my makeup and makes me matte for hours on end. This is another one of those products that I purchased seasons ago and barely finished up despite daily use because of how much product you get/need to use.

HUM Nutrition Killer Nails & Base Control- I'm an avid user of HUM Nutrition's supplements because they seem to work on me and these two are no exception. I use Killer Nails to help strengthen my nails and to help grow out my hair and Base Control mainly for the iron intake that I need because of my iron-lacking diet. 

I cut these open to get all the product out 😉

Best,

Great reviews!! I have to look up the Evo Fabuloso. I’m currently on a hunt for purple shampoos/conditioners/treatments. Haven’t find one I would love yet. 

[gonerogue]

@katkapivarci 

Try it out! I used to get mine exclusively from my salon but now that it’s  on amazon, I’ve been getting it there. I’ve been using it for some years now and I think it works great.

[itsfi]

Nice job on the empties @gonerogue! Love those B&BW scents, especially Pretty as a Peach! 🧡🍑 I didn’t know about Hum Base Control; will definitely have to check that one out.

[curlychiquita]

Wow, great job this month, @gonerogue!

[quspork]

So many great empties, @gonerogue! I'm glad to hear the HUM supplements are working for you. So far, I've only tried the Sleep Support ones, but I do really like those and am super interested in picking up some others. 

[gonerogue]

@quspork 

Those work great! Let me know if you want to branch out to try something else. I can let you know if I’ve tried it out or not 😉

[faeriegirl]

@quspork I love the HUM NUTRITION - Beauty zzZz Sleep Support Supplement.

My sheet masks empties for the last couple of weeks:

"I want to grow old with you" sheet masks! ❤️ ❤️

Spoiler

These are amazing sheet masks! Love, love, LOVE these! ♥️ ♥️ ♥️ Most of these focus solely on hydration, which is perfect for someone with dehydrated-dry skin like me. I would happily have my masking stash consisted primarily of these sheet masks. It’s really difficult to narrow it down even further and choose a favorite from this group because they really are so good. 😃

"This could be love" sheet masks.

Spoiler

Hydrating 💦  sheet masks are what I love most and gravitate to, but every so often there are sheet masks with a main purpose other than hydration that I would happily include in a weekly routine. These masks stand out to me because they’re a bit different than the usual suspects and work amazingly well! 👍🏼

"I really like you, like you" sheet masks. 🙂

Spoiler

These sheet mask do what they say and they do it well. The Dear, Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Sheet Mask and Kocostar Kiwi Slice Mask Sheet 🥝 are ones I would keep on hand in a skincare emergency kit as well as to use just because! 😊

Maybe?

Spoiler

This is a full face bubbling / foaming sheet mask that I could see myself getting along with, but I prefer wash off masks when it comes to bubbling or foaming mask. That said, if I were to go for a full face sheet mask of this type, this would be the one I'd choose.

Let's move on...

Spoiler

These are just not what I'm looking for in sheet masks, for one reason or another. The H2O+ Beauty Oasis sheet mask might be better suited for someone with oily skin but other than being a lovely fit, it didn't feel like it did anything for my skin. The Kose Sekkisei sheet mask didn't yield any negative results; in fact, my skin looked more hydrated than it did with the H2O+ Beauty mask, but alcohol is the 2nd ingredient in the ingredients list for the Kose mask and that's too high on the list for my liking. 

[lmaster]

love your mask trash @itsfi 😍

[itsfi]

Thanks @lmaster! 🤗 I’m still working on remembering to hold onto them and finding a good system that keeps me from just tossing it immediately after use. 

[eshoe]

@itsfi @lmaster the clear plastic sample baggies Sephora uses are the perfect size;)

[itsfi]

@eshoe, do you mean the ones that come in online orders?
