Lets Go Through my Trash #1

Hi! So today I have a post where I am going to show you what products I have finished and review them. AKA Empties, or where I show you my trash. 


Dove Deodorant- I love this deodorant, it keeps me smelling good/dry all day. Even though I personally am not a huge fan of this scent. I recently have not been able to use scented deodorant because of my allergies, but if I didn't have my allergies I would buy this again.

Repurchase- Yes






Cocoa Butter Chapstick- This is my absolute favorite chapstick. I'm not even joking I have bought probably about 5+ of these. I have sensitive lips that can get really dry in the winter, but this product prevents them from cracking. This chapstick does not irritate my lips and I use this every night to help replenish my lips. 
Repurchase- Yes




EOS Everyday Hand Cream- Ok so first let me say that I cannot stand the feeling of lotion, especially on my hands. This lotion is very light and not greasy or gross feeling so I can actually wear it during the day. I just use this during the day and can stick it in my backpack to use throughout the day. The smell is a very light fresh smell, which is not my favorite but for only $2 you cannot loose. 
Repurchase- Yes


Tea Tree Face Mask- This is an acne fighting face mask that I use once a week. I really like it because it only takes 10 minutes and helps clear up my skin. Also, my skin feels nice and soft and refreshed after I use this.                     Repurchase: Yes
Daily Face Moisturizer- This used to be my daily moisturizer (I use a different one now because my skin got dry). This is a great light-weight, daily moisturizer with SPF. The only con with this is that sometimes it leaves little white things on your face (if that makes any sense lol).               Repurchase- Yes
Wonder Waves Spray- This is a spray you spray onto wet hair and it is supposed to make your hair curl more and make the curls look better/ more defined. If you have curly hair(like me) you need this product because it is a lifesaver. The one in the photo is not empty cause I accidentally threw away the bottle lol. I have curly hair and this product makes my curls structured and gives them a little more curl.
Repurchase: Yes 





It's a 10 Miracle Leave in Product- This is probably my 3rd one of these that I have gone through. I love this product. It gets out any/all tangles, smells good, and is just wonderful (even though it is a little expensive). Here is my in-depth review on this product.
Repurchase- Yes







Thanks for reading!

What I got for my 15th Birthday

Hi! So my birthday was January 29th, I know a week or two ago. But I figured it would be better late than never to do a What I got for my Birthday.

I turned 15 this year [I'm getting so old lol] so only one year till I get my drivers license! Can you sense the excitement? 

So here is the annoying disclaimer: I am not trying to brag in any way by this post. I am extremely grateful for everything that I received from friends and family. Birthdays [my fav holiday] are not about the gifts but about celebrating the past year of your life and another year to come with friends and family. 
So here is what I got:
I got lots of candy because I have a major sweet tooth. From chocolate, sour, chewy, to sweet I love pretty much it all. Tootsie rolls, Kit Kat [the best candy ever created] Jolly Ranchers, Sour Skittles, and Sour Patch Kids.
Okay so I never knew they had birthday cake gum, but they have every flavor of gum. This flavor was fitting for the event. I can't wait to try this new flavor of gum.
Next is a nail set. There is a pedicure set with clippers, scrubber, toes separators, etc. Also there is a gorgeous MAC nail polish, that is a sparkly green/turquoise-y color. 
So can we just talk about Dylan O'Brien for a second. I have already seen the Maze Runner a couple of times, but it is really good and I would recommend it to anyone. 
I seriously think I have bad blood circulation to my feet because they are always cold during the winter, and my friends know. And they came in this cute tin bucket that will surely become room decor.
My family has an obsession with Boston Terriers and my friends thought it would be funny to get me nail stickers of these cute pups. I also got 2 new facemasks, [I already used the other] which I was really happy about cause I needed some new ones. One is a skin peel and the other purifies your face.
I also got some super cute jewelry. A copper colored ring that says LOVE in cursive [it barely fit my finger!]. The necklace is from Forever 21. It is just a cute, dainty necklace with a sparkly flower and I have been wanting some dainty necklaces for a long time.
So I got some gift-cards [Sephora, iTunes, Forever 21, Tillys] and I can't wait to use them and do some shopping. 
I also got the Lorac Pro 1 eyeshadow palette. I have been wanting this for a while and I finally got it and was really excited. The eyeshadow colors are neutral and are very pigmented. 

And now time for the big present from my mom:
T-SWIZZLE 1989 CONCERT TICKETS!!!! I was super excited when I got them and have been a huge fan for a couple of years. I can't wait to go back and see Taylor Swift [the queen] perform.

XOXO

Roller Lash Benefit Mascara- Review

Hi! So today I have a review on the Popsugar/ Sephora mystery mascara. Popsugar was giving out some samples of a Sephora mascara before it released, but it had no label or name. So it was a game to figure out what brand it was. 
I personally loovee mascara, so I was excited to get a free sample. Normally I only buy drugstore mascaras because let's be real: 1) I am on a budget and 2) drugstores have some pretty amazing mascaras; so I probably would have never bought this mascara. 

So this mascara's name was revealed today [Benefit Roller Lash] and will be available to buy at Sephora February 27.
No Mascara on my Lashes
What it claims to do:
It claims to curl your lashes, so you can throw those curlers away. The brush is curved with tiny bristles that grab every lash. 
The Mascara on my Eyelashes
So I have only used this mascara a couple of times but here is my review:
I really like this mascara. I personally do not curl my lashes, but this mascara leaves my lashes super curled. The brush coats every single lash (even the little ones!), lengths my lashes a little and is more of a dry/ sticky formula. I have been putting on a couple of coats of this and then a coat of a volumizing mascara. I feel that if you use to much product I could see this mascara making your lashes spidery.
Mascara on my Left Eye; None on my Right Eye
I think this mascara is water-resistant (no smudging when I went on a run!), but not quite waterproof. There was no flaking and was easy to remove. 

Repurchase? Maybe... I typically do not like to repurchase mascaras because there are some many different ones that I want to try. Also, I usually spend $10 or less on mascaras. I do really like this mascara so I am seriously considering buying this when I run out. If you want curled lashes: you would love this product. 

Thanks for reading(:

What's in my Travel Makeup Bag

Hi! So today I have what makeup I bring with me on vacations. Depending on where[/ how long] I am going I may not bring all of this, but this is just the basic stuff I tend to bring with me. If you would like me to do a what I bring for toiletries then just tell me in the comments.
I got the makeup bag from Ulta, but unfortunately it is discontinued. It has a zipper pocket and 2 detachable pouches (1 see through and 1 with a pattern). Also, it has a brush/ mascara/ eyeliner storage spot. It is pretty small, but can fit a lot of stuff and is blue/ green stripes
I'm sure you could find similar ones at Ulta, or any beauty store.
I bring my Naked Basics Palette everywhere because it has neutral everyday colors and a brow color. I can get many looks with this palette and it is really small and portable. 
For bronzer I packed my Pop Beauty bronzer which is nice for contouring or just warming up your face.  
I brought my favorite powder by Rimmel, which gives my face some coverage and keeps it matte all day
So I cannot wear eyeshadow without using an eyeshadow primer and my favorite [surprisingly] is by Urban Decay.
I always bring tweezers because you never know when you may need to fix your eyebrows or get dead skin.
I'll be honest and say I am terrible at eyeliner, but I packed my Urban Decay black eyeliner to tightline my upper lash line to make my eyelashes look fuller. 
So I packed 2 lipcolors, one in a light pink color by Pixi and a sheer red color by Clinique in the shade strawberry, which are my 2 daily colors. 
So I packed a single eyeshadow in a champagne, sparkly color by Jcat.
I also packed some oil absorbing sheets to fix my face throughout the day cause my face can get super oily. 
To help my makeup last all day I bring my favorite face primer: BareMinerals face primer

I bring lots of q-tips for fixing my makeup and cleaning my ears (lol). 
When I travel I like to bring a couple of versatile small pieces of jewelry like rings, necklaces, earrings (mostly from Tillys and Forever 21). Even though I don't really where jewelry when on vacation. 

Next is a makeup brush holder in the bag.


I pack 2 mascaras one by Tarte and another by Maybelline. These are 2 really great mascaras for length and volume. 
My eyebrows are a little crazy so I always have to bring my eyebrow lifesaver, NYX clear eyebrow gel.
So I try to bring the least amount of makeup brushes possible so here are what I bring:
Elf eyeshadow brush, Bare Escentuals bronzer, face powder, and blending eyeshadow brush and my Smashbox brow brush.
