Another month has gone and with it many products that I have loved, hated, or just felt “meh” about. My goal was 15 empties and I think I may have achieved that goal, but I am not 100% certain. I am going to keep the goal of 15 more empty products for August. I think that is a realistic goal to give myself and I seem to be flying through products more since I told myself that if I really love it, I can rebuy it at my next paycheck. I haven’t loved anything enough to repurchase yet. I am almost done with a drugstore setting powder though and I will be needing to pick up a powder this week. Well, let’s start counting! Oh! BTW, this post features pictures of Dean’s arms and legs. He wanted to eat the yellow bag!
1. Nature Valley Crunchy Granola Bars in Oats ‘n Honey
2. Enfamil TriViSol Liquid Vitamins
3. Swissspers Cotton Rounds
4. Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate
5. Clinique Pep-Start Eye Cream
6. Victoria’s Secret Hydrating Body Lotion in Love Spell
7. Coola Moisturizer in Fresh Mango
8. Seventh Generation Natural Dish Liquid in Free & Clear
9.Village Naturals Therapy Cold & Allergy Relief Foaming Bath Oil & Body Wash
10. Lansinoh Disposable Nursing Pads
11. Veet Fast Acting Gel Cream Hair Remover
12. St. Ives Green Tea Scrub
13. Tarte Rain Forest of the Sea Marine Boosting Mist
14. Caudalie Micellar Cleansing Water
Well, I got pretty darn close in completing my goal of 15 empties for the month. I still consider it a win, since the past few months have been pitiful with the amount of empties. Maybe, I will reach my goal in August. I’m proud of myself though. I’m using up and letting go of so much stuff that took up space. I even had room to put more products in my bathroom. It’s been awhile since I’ve been able to do that. It great to try new things from my stash.
With Love <3

Yay for almost reaching your empty goals! I do think it’s a little easier when you’re not trying to make things last.
That’s what I’ve been doing. I tell myself if you want to buy new things, you need to use up what you have. It saves me money in the long run. I hardly buy anything anymore. Not a lot of hauls.
It is a good idea, especially since products don’t usually last forever. But subscriptions also help keep a steady supply of products coming in as well.
I’ve almost used up a couple of makeup items. Maybe ill finish them this month hopefully. It’s hard to use up makeup but I’ve been dedicated.
It really is because most of it only goes on a small portion of your face! You don’t really use that much so it takes forever!
Lol. Yep. You need to use it everyday for months to use up.
And most people don’t want to wear the same items every day! That’s one of the things I like about beauty boxes, they offer smaller quantities that I could actually see myself using entirely.
Nope. I don’t wear much during the week. I do a full face on weekends and days off if I’m going somewhere. Otherwise I choose natural makeup.
I never seem to have more than one thing on my face at once so it lasts a very long time! lol. It can be very time consuming!!
