Welcome to our website !
Hey guys! Since I enjoyed doing my first empties post so much, I decided to keep saving my empty containers and make another post once I've gotten enough to make it a little cluttered!
Initially, I had quite a few more empty conditioners and shampoos but seem to have misplaced them.  They'll come in the next post though.


I go through conditioner like it's nobody's business.  I will go through 3 bottles of conditioner before my first bottle of shampoo typically.

  • Down Under Argan Oil Therapy Conditioner
  • Herbal Essences Hello Hydration Moisturizing Conditioner
If you're looking for a sweet smelling conditioner, the Argan oil is where it's at.  This left my hair feeling soft with a touch of shine.
I used the Herbal Essences conditioner when I realized I had ran out of all of my big bottles and had no other option.  I used a few full bottles of this years ago, it's a good conditioner that smells of coconut.

  • L'oreal Hair Expertise Total Repair
I used this along with my other lotions and creams in my hair after every shower, religiously.  It smells fresh and fruity.  This does a great job at preventing split ends I found.

  • Welcos Merit Miracle Argan Treatment Oil Perfume
I used about 4 squirts of this after every shower.  I liked this so much so that I ordered more but a different scent.

 Now onto the makeup products.

  • Yves Rocher Felt Tip Eyeliner 12H
I rarely use eyeliner but when I do, I will only use a felt tip liner.  This particular one was great, it was dark as dark and went on very smooth like all felt tip liners I've used before.  I'm only tossing this because I've had it for so long that it's expired by now.

  • Too Faced Better Than Sex
Even though this is just a sample sized mascara it's my favorite mascara ever. I bought the full size and am able to now throw the sample out!

  • Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion
My favorite primer.  After using this my mascara stays on and vibrant even into the following morning if I had forgotten to remove my makeup before sleep.

  • Welcos Merit Killing Me Zombie CC Cream SPF30 PA++
I'm so happy that I ordered the full size before Roseroseshop took it off of their website!  If you're looking for a light foundation with decent coverage that will morph into your skintone, look no further!

  • A'Pieu Smart Speeder Stick Foundation SPF30
I'm so sad that I haven't ordered this again before it ran out :( .  Fortunately I am pretty sure that I can find a foundation stick local to hold me over until I order more in!  This is a great foundation stick that will help significantly get rid of any blemishes on your face prior to your foundation application.  This is great to blend in because it goes on so creamy.

I wish I had found the rest of my empties to share but this much will have to suffice for now!
Over the course of August I collected a few items here and there but not enough for hauls each time (I'm trying to spend wisely).
Most of these items were bought during my vacation time.  I went to Prince Edward Island for a small part of my vacation and the rest was spent in sporadic areas around Nova Scotia.  Despite all of the traveling I didn't have much chance to get any type of souvenir, however I did manage to sneak into a few of my favorite stores on the way!

Starting with Lush and Mac.  I bought a Mac lipstick(of course) in the shade Taupe.  This is a neutral medium color brown matte finish and is perfect for the fall or at a workplace which is becoming my go-to shade.  At lush, I picked up another massage bar as I'm almost out of Pearl.  This time around I went with the Organic Therapy massage bar.  I decided to pick up a soap bar in Rock Star.  This is my first time trying a soap bar and I'm excited to use it in the shower!  I like to keep bar soaps for the shower and liquid or foam soap for hand washing.

I wasn't planning on picking anything up at La Senza but it just so happened that they were having a spin wheel that day and I got a free pair of panties with a purchase.  I chose to get two nice pairs instead of the ones they have for 3$ at times.  The light one is a pastel purple with cute prints and strings on the side.  The dark red has leopard print on the back. *socute*

I've been meaning to purchase a few new bras.  To start this off, I went with a sports bra because I enjoy being comfortable and my work is physically demanding to wear wires and fancy bras.  I bought this one as a test and will be back to buy more as these do the trick well! I also got a free wallet lanyard.  One thing about Victoria Secret is that they almost always have giveaways with every purchase.

I bought this necklace locally.  I don't really buy jewellery unless I am really drawn to it and so with this one I really liked the design.  I need to find another chain because it keeps falling off and I've actually almost lost it a few times already!

Next, I made a small purchase at Wal-Mart during the back to school days.  I bought a Biore charcoal facial cleansing pack and a few Garnier face masks.  I'm not going back to school however I felt the need to purchase pencils!  These aren't just any type of pencil but the 'plastic' kind.  I'm not sure how else to describe it but all I know is that they are extremely hard to come by and my favorite!  If I ever end up going back to school I will have pencils to go!

Now onto the essential part of this post. The only reason the toothbrush and paste are in here is because they're for sensitive teeth. I love soft bristles on my teeth or else I find that it's just too rough for me, this kind is just super massaging and feels right, effective and efficient!  The toothpaste is because sometimes I just have sensitive teeth.  I also purchased a teeth whitener!  Maybe you will see a review up on this at some point!

Here we go again with the hair stuff.   I just need to not go through the hair aisle anymore.  Actually, I went to get just hair conditioner because I tend to go through that triple time I do my shampoo.  I find myself going towards L'oreal for a lot of my hair essentials. I bought the L'oreal moisture infusion mask only because colder seasons are coming and I'm hoping this will keep moisture locked in and help with soon coming dandruff! The Live Clean Exotic Nectar Argan Oil because the packaging attracted me.  Yep, gotta kick that habit.

I wasn't actually going to put this in here but I seen that it's scented? I've never seen that before!
That's it guys!  There wasn't much but I wanted to start digging into my goodies before too long.  I'll start reviews on a few things here shortly as well!
I've been meaning to get around to doing this post up and finally found the time to make one!  I use quite a bit of products in my shower and on my hair after the fact and I just wanted to share them with you guys.

After getting my hair wet I will immediately put in shampoo all the way to my roots first and let that soak while I'm either shaving or using body wash all over.  Sometimes I will actually skip the shampoo because it's not necessary for me.  Also I forgot to take a picture but due to the harsh weather changes in Canada I get dandruff quite often so if that's the case I always have Denorex or Selsun Blue.  I won't leave normal shampoo in for very long, approx. a minute or 2 at max then I'm rinsing it out.
Immediately after I will apply a generous amount of conditioner onto my hair, not going to the scalp because will generate dandruff for me.   I leave in my conditioner for the rest of my shower and remove it right before I'm about to get out.
I don't have any specific brands of conditioners or shampoos I use because I have untreated hair and I'm just not that picky, whatever smells good really.
For body wash I have a choice between these 3.
  • I use H20+ if I want to have a really fresh and clean ocean like smell afterwards.
  • I use TokyoMilk Dark in the fragrance Yesterday when I am going to a special event and want to smell extremely distinguished and alluring.
  • I use Prince Charming from Lush because it has a sweet and spicy smell to it that I kind of like. 
It's really important to take care of yourself including your lady bits.  I have really sensitive skin so I use sensitive products.  This goes on before or after the body wash, I'm not too picky.

That's about all I do for my shower, excluding shaving.  Now onto the hair and post shower.


After I've towel dried my hair for a few minutes, L'oreal total repair goes on first just on the ends about 3-4 inches up. This smells really fruity and just a nice aroma.

I then flip my hair upside down and apply Lush R&B on my ends and up, not quite to my roots.  R&B has a citrus-like smell.

I then use 3 pumps of this and apply it from the bottom of my hair(still upside down) and then up to my ends. 
These aren't done in any particular order, I just got used to the routine and do it this way.

To make myself smell great and my skin super soft, I use this Lush massage bar after I towel dry mself so I still have moisture in my skin and a little bit of water left, I rub this all over.  Sometimes I will use a powder to lock in the smel and mattify my skin.  But lately I have been skipping that step.   This has recently came into my routine and I love it!
It's not recommended to use this massage bar on dry skin because it just won't work.  If you want to use it on dry skin be sure to soak it in water before usage.

After everything is all said and done, I either put my hair up or keep it down and allow it to air dry!  And that is my regular shower routine and hair routine.  Occasionally I will put in a hair mask and leave that in overnight to restore health and make it extra shiny and soft.  There's not a whole lot to it but it feels more extensive than it actually is.
I haven't done one of these types of posts in quite a while and actually enjoyed doing them so I figured why not do another one?!  This way I'll be able to get a lot of items covered and not make a whole post on each of them as most of them don't really need a designated post.

So I rarely ever use shampoo, only conditioner but on the off chance that I do want to shampoo my hair, I need an option there for me other than dandruff shampoo.  I had been putting it off on buying any type of shampoo but once I seen this, well I just had to have it!  Not only is it pretty in pink, it also has sparkles all over the bottle!  This was simply irresistible.  It smells really nice too and not overpowering.  Price range this bottle is under 10$ so very affordable and pretty, what more could you ask for?!  Oh and it does do its job! 
Next we have a candle that is currently burning.  I got this as a present from Raelene from our Christmas exchange. I'm assuming the name of it is 'Sensuous'.  It has a very strong Patchouli and natural scent.  I would say that it is very sensual and again not too overpowering either, which was what I was afraid it would be.  This is a very relaxing candle considering I had doubts on whether I would like this or not but I actually do. A+.




Thank you Reya!
Next I finally tried the Prince Charming shower gel from the Valentine's day present at Lush.  This has an acquired scent that definitely is not for everybody.  I got a very forest and spicy smell, which I kind of liked.  It did its job well as a shower gel and the smell seems to be staying on even after the shower.  I rarely ever use shower gel but with that being said I'm happy this is now mine because eventually I will end up using it all.  I also like that it is a nice travel sized bottle as well.

Can we just.. oh my god this packaging is super adorbs!
 Okay, so I had recently purchased this mainly because the packaging like lol.. yep I am a sucker for cute packaging!  I also love Nivea, I find the brand to be super moisturizing and hydrating! yum.  Okay, the actual balm completely matches my parchment paper! How cool is that, and no I did not plan for this to happen either!  I was right, this is great for the lips and real hydrating!  It smells good enough to eat.  No seriously, can I take a bite?  I love this SO MUCH that it's going straight in my purse, kaythanks.


Okay so I got this in my memebox and use it every so often but not a whole lot.  This is called Jeju Hallabong energy by The Yeon.  Basically what you do is put it on your face at night or in the morning or just whenever.  It's supposed to allow your face to look more energized.  This has a strong mandarine smell and doesn't break me out nor is it sticky after application and soaks right into your skin.  It's not a bad product I just don't use it very often.  Click here a link if you want more information on this product or its ingredients.

 Lastly we have yet again another Loreal product.  This is a serum that is designed to help damaged and split ends.  It comes out in two different colors, a red and clear then gets blended together during the application process.  I bought this from Target as I love anything to do with hair health and felt like I needed it, no other reason.  Anyway I opted to use this instead of my normal argan oil and Lush's R&B formula.  Not a whole lot to say about it, this smelled great and it may or may not work well for splits, I haven't given it enough uses to know for sure.  Generally I don't think any product will repair already split ends anyway.  Regardless of my thoughts, this smelled good and will make my hair smell good after it has dried!  That is all I really am concerned about because I don't have many split ends to be worried anyway.

Overall, I think I was most excited about the Nivea Blueberry Blush lip butter.  The sparkles in the shampoo was an added touch that I really enjoyed as well.  Candle is still burning and I'm feeling very relaxed.  Those were probably my top 3.  Not a whole lot of negative things to say about the rest either, they are all great products that have different features to them!
