January Empties

Image
Here are my January empties starting with hair products  Miss Jesse's Curly Meringue- I use to love this product but lately I hate it. It takes forever to dry, I can only get two days worth of hair with this, and it is expensive. I have one more tub left and after that I think I am done with curly meringue Deva Curl Set It Free- This product is ok, but I won't repurchase it again Makeup benefit BADgal Waterproof Mascara- I like the regular  BADgal mascara but this waterproof one had a really thick formula that clumped a lot. I would not repurchase this again but would by the regular one. Body Vaseline Total Moisture Cocoa Radiant Lotion- I really like this lotion it smells good and kept me moisturized would buy again. Skin Care  DDF Brightening Cleasner- I love this cleanser. It's a little pricey but it works and my skin hasn't been the same with out it. I will repurchase after I finish the other cleansers I have.

JewelMint Mystery Box

Image
JewelMint was offering a mystery box around the holidays and I ordered myself one. For $29.99 you got a jewelry box with at least 4  JewelMint  pieces. The jewelry box itself was really nice and it came with 6 pieces of jewelry. I got 5 rings and a pair of earrings I know I will wear 5 out of the 6 pieces, so I am happy with this mystery box and looking forward to the next one. 

December Empties

Image
I never got around to doing my weekly empties in December so I decided to give you one post with everything I finished in December.  Lets start with hair products  WEN in Fall Ginger Pumpkin- This is not my favorite WEN only because I was really looking forward to the  ginger pumpkin smell and it smelled more like menthol. I would use again but it isn't my first choice. Hawaiian Silky 16-n-1 Miracle Worker- This product is a favorite of DPrincess28 ( http://glorycrown.blogspot.com/ ) but it didn't do wonders for my hair. I will say this is a miracle worker for my daughter's hair it detangles and defines her curls like no other, so I will repurchase. Julep Top Coat For Hair- I had this stuff a long time. It adds shine and smells great but I don't really use it unless my hair is straight so I don't have much use for it. Pureology Hydrate Conditioner- This wasn't anything special so I wouldn't repurchase. Mixed Chicks Deep Condi
