EMPTIES: Products I've Used Up (Jan 2014)



Hey everyone! Just wanted to share some quick reviews of a few products I've used up completely lately. I personally love empties because you really get a chance to see how good a product is and if it's worth repurchasing which is always great for being a better shopper the next time around. Let's check out the video below!

PRODUCTS MENTIONED:
Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion Studio 35 Beauty Nail Polish Remover Clinique Moisture Surge Intense Wet n Wild MegaEyes Creme Eyeliner Mario Badescu Drying Lotion Diorsnow White Reveal UV Shield SPF 50 Clean & Clear Morning Burst Oil Absorbing Sheets Shiseido Super Mild Floral Body Wash
ON ME:
Nails - A'Pieu Glow Nail Touch in PP02 (my review) Lips - Urban Decay Naked Lipgloss in Naked (my review)
A product from this particular batch of the empties that I wanted to highlight is this Diorsnow UV Shield SPF 50 PA Sunscreen. This was a pretty pricey splurge for me but I took the plunge because of the high SPF protection as well as hearing wonderful things about it from other bloggers.

I enjoyed using it while it lasted but it does have quite a strong floral fragrance so that's something to note if you have a sensitive nose like me. The nice thing about it is that it doesn't feel too greasy after application, since I know all too well how a bad sunscreen can turn you into a greaseball all day. It's not a matte finish like Shiseido's sunscreens but it doesn't give me that lasting greasy shine.
The kicker for me isn't that there was anything bad with it, it's just that at $58 I've tried other products that seem to work just as well as this did. Because of this, I've decided that I'm still on the hunt for a less-fragranced sunscreen at a lower pricepoint.
Readers, what is your favorite "empty" for this month? Do you have a top sunscreen recommendation? Let me know in the comments!
