Good to the last drop

Just when I thought I couldn't squeeze any more out of my Nuxe Creme Prodigieuse, chopping it in half gave me at least two weeks' worth of product!

Lucky me, I already have a back up of this baby, but I'll definitely be using every last bit of this tube!

Anybody else do this to their favorite products?

Used up in June

June was a blur for me. Between moving stuff for most of the month, traveling, and work being hectic, I'm surprised I used up even one product this month. Then again, some of these are minis. Let's go over it shall we?!

Phyto 9 Creme de Jour for ultra dry hair: It takes a lot for me to finish a hair product - this was quite a good cream. First off, it contains no silicones which I thought was amazing - the ingredients are all natural. The cream wasn't too heavy to use on my ends and it gave me a bit of definition. What I like most is that I was able to use this cream regularly without getting any buildup like I would with regular hair creams. I wish I'd say I'd repurchase this because I did quite like it, but the $31 pricetag in Canada is a bit too much for my hair. Perhaps I should just get it cut more often.

Nuxe Creme Prodigieuse: Already reviewed this here. I will reiterate that I absolutely loved this face cream and that I have already purchased the full size tube. A+

Body Shop Cocoa Butter Body Scrub: Loved this. Actually, it's the only one (along with Coconut) of the Body Shop Body Scrubs that I like. I find most of them are too oily for my skin type - Cocoa Butter is more of a creamy scrub lotion. I love it and will repurchase it once I'm done my Coconut one. 

Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascara: Meh, this wasn't great. It's fine if you want a natural look but I find it really hard to get any volume in my lashes with this. There are other drugstore mascaras I prefer such as Annabelle's Big Show or Revlon's Grow Luscious.

Nuxe Reve de Miel Hand Cream: Loved it but will probably not repurchase this in its full size due to the fact that I have about 10 other hand creams to finish up. Also, it smells quite strong and would be inappropriate in the work place since the boss is allergic to scents. Bummer.

Nuxe Reve de Miel Cleaning Gel: Absolutely loved this mini. So sad my local Nuxe supplier doesn't carry this face wash, or I would have already purchased the full size version.

So, a decent amount was used this month. I've also thrown out some expired products in the process of moving but didn't think to add them to this - I technically didn't use them up anyway.

Hope your week will be great! Mine's already off to a great start since it only has 4 work days left! I love long weekends!

Used up in May!

A little late but here we are! I've been really trying to finish products this past month because I'll be moving in about two weeks! I don't want to drag along bottles that are half empty to the new place so I've been concentrating my efforts on the following products. 

I'm happy to say that I loved most products I've finished!

First off, I finished my bottle of Neutrogena Body Clear Body Wash. This is a go to for me as I do get a bit of body acne once in a while. This helps it stay under control. I usually use this every couple days as it doesn't smell especially good and is a bit drying. Still, I've already repurchased the grapefruit version.

The Body Shop Lychee Blossom Shower Gel has been so-so for me. I love the body wash itself, but the smell is a bit too fruity/flowery for me. It's a nice smell but I'm more into earthy, natural scents. I can't repurchase this because it has been discontinued at The Body Shop. Oh well!

I absolutely loved my Infusium 23 Color Defender Conditioner. It was amazing at detangling my hair, moisturizing it, and keeping my hair color fresh. Plus, it smells AMAZING. I seriously can't think of a better smelling conditioner - it smells fresh and lingers in the hair. Mmmm. I definitely will repurchase this conditioner in the future, but I'm currently finishing up some other bottles.

Ugh, the Avene Cold Creme Hand Cream has given me some grief. To sum up this hand cream, I think I'm just going to say simply that it sucks hard. It doesn't moisturize at all - it actually leaves my hands feeling drier than before I've applied it. Do not buy this, there are much much better hand creams out there on the market, namely, The Body Shop Almond hand cream.

I randomly picked up this EOS Vanilla Bliss Shaving Cream at Shoppers Drug Mart because it was on clearance for something like $3 and I had read about it on makeupandbeautyblog.com. I thought I'd give it a go. And guys, I am not joking, this is the best shaving cream EVER. I'm very very sensitive to shaving. Every time I shave, my skin gets very itchy and irritated. This shaving cream moisturized my legs while shaving and didn't leave mt skin irritated. I wish I could repurchase but I'm not sure my local Shoppers carries this anymore. Plus, I have a crappy shaving cream to use to up. I miss this product so much already!

Lastly, I finished my Aveda Madder Root Color Conditioner. At $18 (I think!), this isn't cheap, but for any redheads that keep losing their color, this is amazing. First off, I must say, this isn't a very good conditioner. I always use a secondary conditioner after using this to make my hair a bit softer. But the color depositing properties of this is amazing - it always leaves my hair much much redder and brighter. I love it. I wish I could find an equivalent for this on the market that is a bit cheaper but I can't seem to find anything! If I don't find anything, I will most likely repurchase this product. I think it's worth the price but I'm also open to cheaper options since this isn't particularly conditioning.

That is it! I didn't use up any makeup products sadly... but honestly, that rarely happens! Oh, the life of a beauty blogger!

Hope you all had a great weekend!
