Project Empty Bottle

For those of you that have no idea what I am talking about you can watch this video below so it will make more sense :)

REDKEN Extreme Shampoo - LOVE LOVE LOVE this is my favorite shampoo ever! I had mixed feelings when I finished this bottle one because I love it so much but at the same time I was happy to finally finish a shampoo, it seemed to go on forever since it was such a large bottle.  Of course I will be repurchasing this shampoo soon, it may not be the first product I repurchase but it will always be a shampoo I use.

REDKEN All Soft Heavy Cream - I have had this deep conditioner for so long and I just left it sitting in my shower for months, I am glad to have finally finished the bottle since there was only enough long one or two uses.  Since using it I forgot how much I loved it.  It is a very nice deep conditioner and it left my hair feeling amazing.  I usually have 4-5 deep conditioners and masks for my hair going at one and once I finish them all I will be buying one at a time and this will be one of my deep conditioners I will use for a long time.

One 'n Only Restorative Mask - This is the second bottle I finished and I love this mask.  I will usually put this in my hair and sleep with it in and in the morning my hair is looking amazing.  I love this and of  course I will buying it again.

JOICO Body Luxe Thickening Shampoo - Another product that only had a little left and it was just sitting in my shower.  I do really like it though, my hair felt amazing and looked so nice after using it. I also love that it is not that expensive and you really see great results.  Like everything above I will be re-buying it once I finish all my other shampoos!

I want to get my hair products down to 2 shampoos, 1 normal conditioner and 1 hair mask/deep conditioner.  I currently have WAY more than that and need to keep myself from wanting to try anything new.  And for the bottle that only had a little left 2 of them count as 1 empty bottle, so if I finish 4 then it only counts as 2 towards my overall 7 bottles :)

Treating and Concealing Dark Circles

Products Mentioned -

Garnier Skin Renew Anti-Dark Circle Roller - $11.99

NARS Concealer in Custard - $22

e.l.f. Under Eye Concealer & Highlighter in Light/Glow - $3

Pre IMATS Haul

Oscar Blandi Volumizing Dry Shampoo

Sephora

$23

This dry shampoo was a repurchase but used the normal one (yellow bottle) and this bottle is the invisible kind so I should not have a problem with white residue.

Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray

Sephora

$23

I have been looking for a sea salt spray because I love that beachy hair look. I tried it out once and I think I am going to like it.

Clinque Ance Solution Clearing Moisturizing Oil-Free

Sephora

$17

I am in LOVE with this product. I have tried all the steps in this 3 piece system and I do not like any of the other ones but I do not know what I would do with out this product. This is my 3rd bottle and I will continue to buy till they stop making it :)

MAC Creme d' Nude & Playing Koi*

MAC Cosmetics

$14.50

Playing Koi is from the Quite Cute collection and is limited edition. The color is a stain finish and is quite creamy, which makes it look even better on. While I love the color it is definitely super dramatic and not a everyday color, it would look very nice with a dark smokey eye and I would love to wear it when I go out at night.

Temptalia explains it as a "creamy white peach pink" and I think that is a good explanation of the color. I personally think it is very neon and vibrant but I still love it!!

Creme d' Nude is a popular MAC color and is part of their permanent collection. I can not believe I did not own it before. It is a cremesheen so it does not look dry or cakey on your lips. It was one of MAC's more wearable nudes since it is more of a pink, flesh toned nude.

If you are like me and have always wanted this color but just never got it I say go out and buy it now. I do not know how I went so long without it.

e.l.f. Powder Brush

Target

$3

WOW! I am in love with this brush for applying my foundation. It gives you a flawless, airbrush application and blends it perfectly into your skin. I use to apply any liquid foundation; either my MAC tinted moisturizer or my Chanel Mat Lumiere foundation.

This powder brush is a "flat top kabuki", the bristles are nice and soft but still densely packed. I really think everyone needs this brush.

Noxzema Clean Blemish Control Daily Scrub

Wal-Mart

Just over $3**

I love the other Noxzema face wash I use so when this was recommended to me I had to try it out. This has exfoliating beads in it and I just love when face washes have them, my skin always feels and looks better (as opposed to face washes without exfoliating beads). This wash says that it is for adult skin, I am just not to sure what that means or if it matters but I do think it I enjoy this scrub.

*Playing Koi is sold out online on the MAC cosmetics, Nordstrom, Macy's, and Bloomingdale's websites. Maybe some stores still have it in stock.

**Price in the store at wal-mart. Online prices are different and each store has different prices too.
