skincare and beauty empties (march 2016)

I really enjoy watching empties videos on youtube and learning about products that other people have used up.  To be honest, I'm often astonished about how much product the beauty youtubers go through, but since it is their job to review product, I suppose it isn't that astonishing.  




As an experiment I attempted to keep my empties for the last 8 months to see what I go through.  In viewing the results, it is obvious skincare is my obsession... but then I remembered that if I feel a makeup or skincare item isn't working for me, I usually give it away to my friends instead of letting it expire or wasting it.  Therefore this is a list of items I used up AND remembered to keep - with mini reviews.   I hope it's helpful!

I tried to group them in categories, so here goes:

current favorite mascaras: maybelline falsies, lancome grandiose and sisley so intense (summer/fall 2015)


Like many women, I am constantly in search of the perfect mascara since I am not blessed with naturally full and voluminous lashes.  Typically I will have 3 or 4 mascaras in rotation until they are used up or expired.  (Yes, mascaras have expiration dates.  Once I open an mascara, I'll try to toss it or use it up in approximately 3 months.)  Sometimes there will be the dud mascara that I will try to use even if I don't like it in an attempt to not be wasteful.  However, right now, I'm loving every single mascara on rotation so I thought I'd share my thoughts on each of them.
