Trash Talk Tuesday – Empties August 2020

Hey doll hey!! How’s your day/night going? Great I hope. I’m having a pretty intense pain day so I’m taking the day off from makeup.

I grade this hand soap a solid A+++ !!!

I really truly loved this scent! The scent notes are :

• Top Notes: Coconut, Ocean Air Accord, Pacific Palm, and Citrus
• Middle Notes: Coconut Milk, Island Nectars, and Pink Passion Fruit
• Finishing Notes: Driftwood and White Sand Musk

This was such an amazing scent … very summery and the scent lingered for a while. I really wish they made this scent in a candle. I do remember they use to sell the body mist in this scent but I never purchased it.

I grade this hand soap a solid B –

This soap is simplistic … the two scent notes are just as the title says Black Chamomile and Bergamot.

It was a nice scent but about 1/2 through the bottle I was already wanting to be done with it.

I also felt like this soap was a bit more drying than the regular foaming soap line.

I grade this setting spray a solid A++!!!

It’s billed as a fresh make up look that lasts and is lightweight and comfortable while working hard to make sure your makeup stays put and claims to give you a dewy fresh glow finish.

I really enjoyed this setting spray. The nozzle is super fine so I never got splotches of mist on my face, even as the spray got to the last bits of liquid.

I would repurchase this one again …. I do have tons of setting spray that I’m working through but once it’s time to re-stock my setting sprays I will add this one to my cart.

ELF Makeup Mist & Set The one on the left is $7 for 4.1 fluid ounces and the one on the right is $5 for 2.2 fluid ounces on their website.

I grade this setting spray a solid A+++!!!!

It’s billed as The ultimate must-have designed to hold your face and eye makeup in place all day and to revitalize makeup color with just a few sprays. The formula contains aloe, green tea, cucumber, and vitamins A, C, and E to soothe and hydrate the skin. Spray on your brush or sponge prior to makeup application for extended hold and more vibrant color. 

I’ve used this setting spray for many years. It’s cheap and very efficient. The nozzle is perfect and the formula melts all the makeup seamlessly together. I will definitely be repurchasing this one when it’s time to restock my setting sprays.

I grade this cleanser a solid B-

It’s billed as a gel cleanser can be used all over the face and eyes to melt away stubborn makeup and cleanse the skin, leaving your face clean, plump, and hydrated.

I loved the way it smelled but didn’t really ever feel like it cleansed my face all the way.

I also felt like there was still cleanser residue left on my face after rinsing this one away.

This is not one I will ever repurchase. I prefer my cleansers to foam up and even though I’ve tried gel cleansers in the past this one just didn’t measure up.

I grade this cleanser a solid A+++

It’s billed as a universal, all-purpose wash lightly foams to deeply clean, nourish, and replenish all skin types that cleanses and tones in 1 step.

This is my 4th bottle of this cleanser. I really like it. It is scent free and doesn’t leave the skin feeling tight or stripped.

I just opened my back up and will need to restock soon.

I grade this miceller water a solid A+++!!!

It’s billed as being able to remove makeup and refresh the skin with the French cult-classic cleansing water in everyone’s kit.

I have used Bioderma for years now and I will continue to do so for years to come.

I use it as my first cleanse at night and to remove any fallout from my eyeshadow.

I have 1 bottle open and 2 in stock.

I grade this serum a solid A+++!!!

It’s billed as targeting fine lines, wrinkles, and dullness with this peptide-powered serum that helps to hydrate, brighten, and smooth for a healthy, youthful-looking glow.

I love this serum … really I love the whole Good Molecules line…. I’ve been using this serum for the better part of a year now and I love the results I get from it.

I have 1 bottle open and 1 in stock.

I grade this Ampoule a solid A++

I have been using this Ceramide Ampoule for right around 6 months. It’s used to strengthen your skin’s protective barrier and soothe dehydrated skin.

I’ve noticed that it has made my skin softer and more supple.

I have repurchased and am currently using the 3 fluid ounce bottle of this serum.

I grade this serum a solid A+++!!!

It has Argan Oil & Magnolia Bark Extract in it as well. This is a soothing serum that plumps my under eyes up. I also use it on my lips too.

I have just opened my back up so I’ll have to restock soon.

I grade this eye cream a solid A+++!!!

It’s billed as proven to visibly improve the appearance of deep lines and wrinkles for younger looking skin. Created specially for the delicate eye area, it is the perfect partner to No7’s Protect & Perfect Intense Serum. This cream is formulated with powerful, concentrated ingredients, No7’s powerful anti-wrinkle peptide technology Matrixyl 3000+, and double defense technology.

I have used this eye cream for years now and will continue to do so.

I have 1 opened and 1 in stock so I don’t need to repurchase for a bit.

I grade this serum a solid A+++!!!

It’s billed as being able to reduce deep lines and wrinkles.

I’ve been using this serum for years now and I love how velvety smooth it leaves my face.

I just opened my back up tube so I will have to restock soon.

I grade this concealer a solid A++

I truly loved this concealer …. so sad that it’s been discontinued. It was smooth and creamy and never settled into fine lines.

I grade this contour a solid A+++!!!

It’s billed as a soft-focus, semi-matte contour wand with sponge applicator.

This is my all time favorite cream contour! A very little goes a very long way. I squeeze just a dot out and that is enough to contour my whole face. It’s not too grey toned and always looks perfect.

I have already repurchased this one and will continue to do so.

I grade this lip balm a solid A+++!!!

It’s billed as hardworking skincare that provides instant relief to extremely dry, cracked lips.

I have not purchased any other lip balm in the past 3 years …. this works perfectly, leaves my lips silky smooth and repairs my lips when they are cracked.

I have 3 open (one at my vanity, one in my purse and one on my night stand) and I have 2 in stock. I will always continue to repurchase this porduct.

I grade this lash adhesive a solid A+++!!!

It’s billed as an an ultra-thin brush for precise, quick application of both strip and individual lashes for all day wear. This latex-free formula is safe for contact lens wearers and sensitive eyes. Lashes have never been easier. With Vitamins A, C and E. Available in dark and clear.

I have used this glue for 9 + years now. I have tried others but I always come back to this one. It’s quick drying, non irritating and a little goes a long way.

I have a new one open and 5 in stock.

I grade this pencil a solid A+++!!!

I am so sad that this pencil is discontinued! If I had known that it was being discontinued I would have stocked up on this one!

I have a new one open and 7 in stock. Now I’ll have to go on the hunt for a new brow highlighter.

I grade this brow pencil a solid B++

It’s billed as a hybrid-formula brow gel pens shade & shape in one step, making it effortless to get perfect brows.

I thought this pencil was OK. It was a bit hard to work over bare and sparse areas, it would skip and difficult to lay down on bare areas. It smeared like crazy and would brake down if even the slightest amount of water got on it. I’m glad I tried it but will not be repurchasing it.

I grade this brow pencil a solid B+

It’s billed as being perfect for everyday wear, smudge-resistant, long-lasting formula with vitamin E, and brows stay put all day with an untraceable finish.

It was difficult to lay down over sparse and bare areas but once I was able to get it to lay down it lasted all day.

The point on this one is thick so hair like strokes were not happening. It was also difficult to get a precise arch because of how thick the point is.

It was fun to try but I will not be repurchasing this one either.

I grade this pencil a solid A

It’s billed as a creamy, smooth tipped pencil is perfect for adding definition and color to your brows. Perfect for creating a natural or bold brow look in two easy steps.

I really did like the look of my brows with this gel/pomade hybrid pencil. I just didn’t like that I had to sharpen it so often. It did leave my brows looking snatched and I really enjoyed it. It was long lasting and never gave me trouble over the sparse and bare areas.

I will repurchase this pencil once I’ve used up my brow pencil stock.

XOXO, Nita
