RECENT EMPTIES!!!!

Theres this thing some bloggers and vloggers do where they show beauty and bath products they've recently finished. In showing these items they also include mini reviews SO I decided I wanted do a post. I have finished more products but to keep this post short and sweet I saved just a few that way I can give you my opinions on them.
1.............2.....................3.............4..................5...........6.......

1) NIVEA IN SHOWER BODY LOTION- I got the one for very dry skin and honestly I didn't think it was all that special. I loved the scent but I didn't feel moisturized after using it. I even added oil and glycerin into the bottle but still didn't think it worked well.

2) OLAY QUENCH PLUS FIRMING BODY LOTION- I actually loved this lotion, can't say I noticed firming though.  It was a light feeling moisturizer but did leave my skin hydrated and even had a slight shimmer to it. I would absolutely re purchase but unfortunately its discontinued. 

3) TRADER JOES ORGANIC COCONUT OIL- love this and have purchased it over and over again. I love coconut oil for my skin and hair and specifically love getting the trader joe's brand because its the cheapest organic one I've found. Its a light oil that leaves a beautiful sheen yet doesn't have a strong scent.  I can add it to moisturizers without it changing the scent, and its light texture makes it a  go to everyday hair moisturizer. 

4) ALPHA HYDROX  SILK WRAP BODY LOTION- This was my first time trying this lotion and I liked it. its a glycolic acid based moisturizer, which was supposed to leave your skin feeling soft and smooth and I found that it did. I also thought it was quite moisturizing for something containing an AHA. I used it up rather quickly because  I liked it so much and will get another bottle. (beware if you have sensitive skin since it contains an acid)

5) GNC WOMAN'S ULTRA MEGA ENERGY & METABOLISM supplements- I loved these when I first got them. They are decent supplements with tons of great minerals and vitamins all in two caplets. After while I cringed when I took them because of the scent. I don't know if I will get them again because  I hate the smell so much. 

6) PAULA'S CHOICE SUNCARE extra care non-greasy sunscreen- I loved this for a while, its a great  unscented straight to the point sunscreen. This one has SPF 50 its broad spectrum and can be used on face and body. However i will admit it does leave me shiny I will continue to repurchase regardless.

1...........2......................3..........4..............5...........6

1) WOMEN'S ROGAINE- I purchased this when I was experiencing extreme shedding. I wasn't sure of what to expect but I think it was a mostly positive experience. It does work to rebuild areas that do normally have hair. The only draw back is that it made my scalp really dry and flaky, I would repurchase.

2) COPPERTONE CLEARLY SHEER FOR SUNNY DAYS- This has an SPF of 30, I used this sunscreen on my body all summer long. I didn't experience any negative reaction despite this being scented.  It worked out well I wasn't left with a white caste and the smell subsided after I had it on. I would purchase it if I wanted a sunscreen other than my usual (probably won't happen anytime soon).

3) COPPERTONE SUNSCREEN CONTINUOUS SPRAY- This has an SPF of 50 and it was quite oily plus it had a high alcohol content, because of this I pretty much only used this on my legs and feet. It also had fragrance. I liked the convenience of it because it was really easy to spray on and did leave a nice sheen. I don't know if I would repurchase but if I did it would only be in the summer specifically for my legs. 

4) PAULA'S CHOICE CLEAR ANTI REDNESS EXFOLIATING SOLUTION- This was a toner that contained salicylic acid which is why I bought it. I used it for acne of and on whenever I had a breakout or thought I felt one coming. It doesn't eliminate pimples but does help. I will repurchase. 

5) LADY SPEED STICK- I bought this in a two pack right before summer began because I knew I'd need something stronger than a natural deodorant during the warm months. I thought it worked just fine and I have no complaints. I am tired of the scent now but I still have another one to go through. Its a cheaper deodorant that works so yes I would repurchase. 

6) PAULA'S CHOICE REDNESS RELIEF TREATMENT- I bought this to use after shaving my under arms and inner thighs. I don't know if it made a huge difference in that regard but I did enjoy using it as a facial toner. I probably will repurchase just don't know when.
