June was a month where I finished all my most re-purchased items at once. I also participated in a run which caused my sample bag to double and I only caved once and bought a drugstore lipstick. So, I’m pretty proud of myself and my new minimalistic beauty shopping habits.
Here are my June 2018 empties!

Products I Finished – June 2018
Skincare
Avene Thermal Spring Water Spray (First Review)
This is my favourite thermal water spray that I spritz before my hyaluronic acid serum. I use this product twice a day and it took me four months to finish it.
Re-Purchase? YES. (c$18.29 – 115ml)
Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm (First Review)
Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm is my favourite make-up remover that dissolves everything from sunscreen to mascara. I remove my makeup with it in the evening and it took me five months to empty the jar.
Re-Purchase? YES. (c$38 – 125ml)
Drunk Elephant B-Hydra Intensive Hydration Gel (First Review)
This is my favourite high-end serum with hyaluronic acid and ceramides. I use one pump of product twice a day and it took me four months to finish it.
Re-Purchase? YES. (c$65 – 50ml)
The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 (First Review)
The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 is my favourite inexpensive hyaluronic acid serum. I use one dropper of product twice a day and I go through one bottle a month.
Re-Purchase? YES. (c$6.80 – 30ml)
Makeup
L’Oreal Paris Brow Stylist Definer
In 2016, I was gifted this mechanical eyebrow pencil in a L’Oreal Paris campaign and instead of re-purchasing the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz, I switched to this drugstore one and never looked back. It is long-wearing, pigmented, and has a spoolie on the other end. Just make sure to only twist up a tiny bit of the product because it will snap if you’re not careful.
Re-Purchase? YES. (c$12.99 – 90mg)
[bctt tweet=”Holy Grail Eyebrow Pencil: L’Oreal Paris Brow Stylist Definer” username=”laurelmusical”]Maybelline Total Temptation Waterproof Mascara
I didn’t have any luck with the original Maybelline Total Temptation Mascara, so I’m not sure why I gave the waterproof version a chance. Also, you can now call me a makeup snob because the only reason why I wouldn’t purchase this mascara again is that I don’t like the blue packaging.
Re-Purchase? NO. (c$8.96 – 9ml)
Samples
Dove Sensitive Skin Body Wash
I had an allergic reaction to a type of Victoria’s Secret body wash and remembered that my dermatologist gave me a sample of this fragrance-free Dove Sensitive Skin Body Wash. I liked the sample enough to purchase a full size.
Purchase? YES. (c$7.79 – 354ml)
Kat Von D Saint Eau De Parfum
I no longer support Kat Von D or Kat Von D Beauty.
Purchase? NO. (c$115 – 100ml)
Kat Von D Sinner Eau De Parfum
I no longer support Kat Von D or Kat Von D Beauty.
Purchase? NO. (c$115 – 100ml)
Roger & Gallet Fleur de Figuier Fresh Fragrant Water
When I made a purchase at the Sephora V.I.B. Sale online, I asked for this fragrance to be one of my samples and I fell in love with it. It smells Parisian and it has notes of fig, fig leaves, and fig milk in it. I am definitely going to consider purchasing a full size once I finish my other perfume samples.
Purchase? MAYBE. (c$50 – 100ml)
Other
Dove Advanced Care Shea Butter Anti-Perspirant
I’ve gone through quite a few of these Dove Advanced Care Shea Butter Anti-Perspirants and I have nothing against them. However, after having an allergic reaction to a fragranced body wash I’m going to switch to an unscented antiperspirant.
Re-Purchase? NO. (c$6.59 – 45g)
Schick Intuition Advanced Moisture Shea Butter Razor Refills
I’ve used these razor refills since I started shaving at a young age and every time I finish the cartilages I remind myself that I should find a less expensive alternative. Recently, I received a Venus Comfortglide White Tea Razor that has a similar concept to the Schick Intuition and when I finish the refills I want to compare the which one is the better buy.
Re-Purchase? MAYBE. (c$24 – 6x 30g)
