Haircare Products: What a victorious use of full size hair care products for me- I actually surprised myself in my ability to finish up a few things before opening up new bottles.
I loved the DermOrganic Leave in Spray Therapy (reviewed here) because it leaves my hair soft, shiny and manageable. It is definitely on my repurchase list.
Surya Organics is an amazing line, and I used every last drop of their Amazonia Preciosa Shampoo (reviewed here) and their Revitalizing Hair Mask (reviewed here). I have been thoroughly impressed by their products and will definitely continue to use them. Their haircare products are natural, healthy, effective, and so pleasant to use. Their aromas delight the senses.
Ouidad Botanical Boost Moisture Infusing & Refreshing Spray is a fantastic detangler that adds moisture and revives curls. I really love this spray, and have in general found Ouidad to be fantastic on my naturally curly hair.
Skincare & Body Care Products: Can you believe how many samples that I used in July?! There weren't any major misses in the pile, and I do have a few of these things in their full sized counterparts, but I'm also not motivated to run out and buy most of what I tried either. At this point I am only compelled to buy The Organic Pharmacy Flower Petal Deep Cleanser & Mask (reviewed here. A couple of those empty pots were samples of this amazingly effective miracle mask) because I am completely obsessed with it.
According to The Organic Pharmacy,
More an instant boost than a mask, this Aloe and Seaweed gel is packed full of potent antioxidants to instantly lift, tighten and brighten the complexion Use at least twice a week or daily during summer months.ã Super potencies of Alpha Lipoic Acid, DMAE and CoQ10 with anti-ageing herbs of Horsetail, Ginseng and Propolis are just some of the ingredients in this amazing gel.
All in all I am quite pleased with my pile of empties this month! What did you use up, toss, or give away this month?

I can't believe how much you finished. Months and months ago I decided to do a post like this.... I failed miserably and finally tossed the items to get rid of the garbage.
ReplyDeleteI'm a little stunned as well. Though taking lots of samples while traveling makes it pretty easy to use things up. It definitely takes a concerted effort to use up those little packets, but I also look at it as a way of exploring products that I may not have otherwise tried. I wouldn't say that you failed miserably-- my guess is that you weren't crazy about the products tht you ended up tossing! :-)
DeleteThats so many empties... !!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Jannatul! I definitely outdid myself in the amount that I used up in July! Thanks for stopping by! :-)
DeleteI'm late in posting but your empties remind me I should start using my face masques again. I've been lazy.
ReplyDeleteIn July, I used up the following:
-La Roche Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel
-La Roche Posay Effaclar Mat Daily Moisturizer
-Priya Means Love Ginger Mint Foot Cream
-Aveda Hand Relief lotion
-Victoria's Secret Fresh Sorbet Chilled Lychee & Pink Honeysuckle lotion
-Lush Freeze Shower Gel
-Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy Sleep Shower Gel
-Tick Tock Cosmetics Salvador Dali eyeshadow
-Sephora Instant Depuffing Roll-On Eye Gel
I tossed out a mark hand cream in Vanilla Cream. It was unopened until I tried it around two weeks ago. It had gone bad in less than a year. I like their other products but don't recommend their hand cream.
Wow, Iris!! You impress me with your empties each and every month! I get vicarious pleasure seeing that you are using what you but!!!!!!!!! That's too bad about the Mark Vanilla Cream-- I would think that you should have been able to exchange it for one that wasn't spoiled! I can't wait to hear what you used up this month! I'm posting mine this week!
Delete:) Thanks!
DeleteFor mark, I believe the limit for refunds or returns is three months from receipt so I was well over the time limit. I did contact them about the product issue. They apologised and said they'd forward it onto product development.
:)
DeleteIn spite of the refund/return policy they should have exchanged it-- because it shouldn't have gone bad in that time. I'm glad that they apologized, but as far as I'm concerned proper customer service should be to replace an unusable product that goes bad! I hope that the people at product development send you a new one!
