Products I've used up - June 2013 - Part 2

Hey All  -

I used up a lot of products in June so I'm breaking this up into 2 different parts. So here is part 2. If you haven't you can see the products I used up in May here and Part 1 here. I'll let you know what I thought of the product and if I would re-purchase or not. So, here we go!

Starting from left to right: 

Aquaphor healing ointment

Thoughts: I love this stuff to use on my lips. This is the little tube I kept at my desk at work that I finally used up. This is not only great for lips but also dry spots on your skin. These little tubes are awesome to keep just about anywhere. High recommend if you having really dry lips. 

Re-purchase: Yes, of course! I actually already have. These small little tubes come in a pack of 2 for about $5 and last a really long time. I think I will always have some of this around at all times.

Maybelline Baby Lips in Peppermint

Thoughts: I also kept this tube at my work and has been used up for quite a long time. I like this as a lip balm until I got a new tube (currently have at work) and not a fan anymore. I'm not sure if they changed the formula or if my lips just don't like it anymore. But I did enjoy using this tube up. It's just a clear lip balm with  an SPF of 15. 

Re-purchase: I'm not sure I would. I do enjoy using the other colors of these baby lips, but this one I'm not sure I would re-purchase. 

First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Lip Therapy

Thoughts: Yep, another lip product. This lip balm was nice I bought this probably like a year and a half ago. It was time for it to be done. I didn't use it very often. I bought it when my lips where crazy dry. I thought it helped but not a ton. The bottle did end up cracking near the top of the tube which wasn't very good. The product has a pretty thick consistency. 

Re-purchase: No, I would not re-purchase this lip balm. I can find better inexpensive alternatives to this. 

Le Metier De Beaute Replenishing Daily Solutions.

Thoughts: This is the sample of face lotion I got in my April Glossybox. You can read that post here. But this sample was worth about $13 and let's just say, I am completely not impressed. Granted, the sample was the smallest size possible but I was still able to use it for a couple of days since you didn't really need a lot to cover your face. But I didn't see any improvement in my skin and it didn't do any better than my regular face lotion. 

Re-purchase: NO!!! There is no way I would purchase a full size of this. Especially at the price tag of $225. 

L"oreal Voluminous Carbon Black 

Thoughts: I got this again after people telling me they loved it. I did really like it. It give you crazy amount of volume and length as well. The color is super black as you can see. I do like the brush. It can sometimes makes your lashes feel crunchy, which I don't like Once it started drying out on my it also started to flake on me. I would suggest giving it a whirl if you are looking for a new mascara to try. 

Re-purchase: Yes, I would probably re-purchase. Currently though I have lots of tubes that I need to use up before I even think about buying another mascara. 

Cover Girl Lash Blast Fusion Water resistant

Thoughts: It was a nice mascara. I have this one in water resistant because I heard that putting on a thin coat of waterproof mascara before another mascara will help your eyelashes stay curled and for a while I thought mine where becoming droopy during the day. This did help a little bit with that problem but I didn't think it helped that much. It is now all dried up so I can't use it anymore. I would probably never use this mascara without putting something else over the top since it didn't do much. I used to use this mascara all the time, but now I could never see myself just using this. 

Re-purchase: Maybe, I would. If I was looking for something that gives you more natural looking lashes. 

Finest Nutrition Tea Tree Oil

Thoughts: I bought this after using up my Body Shop Tea Tree Oil. I use this on acne spots and also I put it in my hair. The smell of this stuff is not good at all. But once you put it on your skin you can't smell it. If I put it in my hair, the smell will linger but I just deal with it. I got 2 of these on a buy one get one free deal so it was a better price than The Body Shop one as you get twice or 3 times the amount of product. 

Re-purchase: I will probably not re-purchase this brand of Tea Tree Oil again. I want to try others. I mean, they all are almost all the same. But I will always have Tea Tree Oil on hand since there is so many uses for it. 

The last item is:

Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer

Thoughts: I used up a makeup product!!! I got this after hearing so many good things about it. I think the color I had was Ivory, which is probably the lightest or 2nd lightest color. I really loved this stuff. I used this under my eyes and sometimes I used it to highlight my cheek bones. I sometimes would use it alone under my eyes and sometimes I would use it over the top of a peach corrector. I loved the look it gave. The packaging is worn off but I really like the brush applicator it has. 

Re-purchase: Yes, I plan on re-purchasing once I use up some other concealers I have. This also comes in Radiant that I heard is great as well. So if you are looking for something that is just brightening without the concealer part, you have that option. 

So, that's all the stuff I used up this month.  As you can see I've had some of these products for a while. But it's always good knowing your using the products you purchase. 

Hopefully this helped you in some way. Please, let me know if you have any questions. 

Thank you so much for reading!!
