June Empties

There is something sad yet joyous about finishing a product. I'm usually leaning more towards sad if I make it to the end of a product, as that typically means it is something I enjoyed enough to use every last drop. Sometimes it is joyous, as I finally get to move onto other things that have been patiently waiting in my cupboards. Please take these emotions in a light way people..the death of a family member makes me sad as the birth of a new niece or nephew is joyous...it's all on a scale peeps and it does not compare to makeup or things. In the case of my June empties, I am particularly sad over finishing my May Lindstrom Youth Dew.

I bought this initially as part of my "going more natural" skin care project and ended up cutting out my daily moisturizer completely after using this amazing oil. I love the smell, the feel, the finish. I love it all.... but the price. This oil retails now for $150.00 CDN for an ounce and I hate to say that I'm hooked. I got this oil for my birthday on March 6th and have used it daily till June 30th, 2015. It is completely out..trust me..I am gonna smash that bottle looking for more like a crack head. I did repurchase this product as you can guess from thedetoxmarket.ca as they had a 15% off Canada Day Sale. Oh yah, HAPPY BIRTHDAY CANADA!!! This will be my first purchase from this online site so I will speak more about it once my package arrives, hopefully later this week. The land's birthday has interfered with the arrival of a few packages of goodies. I'll forgive you Canada..you are a lovely lady most of the time.

                     Check out my previous post "Fountain of Youth" for my full rave about it.

Another item I am sad about is the Make Up Forever Smoky Extravagant Mascara. I love this mascara and I happen to have a little travel size as a back up. I have been trying out drug store mascaras lately to see if anything compares but Smoky Extravagant is so lengthening, does not flake and is truly my favourite Mascara. Now that I am out of the full size, I would like to try the Lancome Definicils High Definition Mascara but will wait until I get back into the city in a few weeks to purchase it.

My last product that I have completely run out of it the Bath and Body Works True Blue Shea Butter Lay it on Thick Body Cream. As we are in full swing summer here in Manitoba, I still need a rich moisturizer from our intense sun. This body cream was not the ordinary version but the Vanilla Almond...not my cup of tea. I did use the entire bottle but generally found the smell too perfumey which is why I typically do not like Shea Butter concoctions. I will be repurchasing the original Shea Butter Lay It On Thick as soon as I get back into Winnipeg, but not this particular scent. If I could find something this thick in a natural version..I would be all over it.

Another item that I have run out of this month that is not beauty related but something that I do love to use and will definitely repurchase is an all purpose cleaner by Tiber River Naturals, a wonderful company based out of Winnipeg, Manitoba that I have love for years and years.  The cleaner is called Maid in a Bottle and I use it to clean most of the surfaces in my home besides the bathroom. I love the smell of this stuff. You can purchase it online at tiberriver.ca . I have not cleaned with any chemicals in my home since 2010 using mainly Norwex products instead. I can't remember the last time I even had so much as a cold so I would like to think that I am cleaning my home effectively, or my immune system is strong because I live in a cess pool that hasn't been cleaned effectively for 5 years...either, either..hahaha.

Items in my shopping cart: It's so bad..I have items in sooo many shopping carts... Mac Melba, Mocha, Harmony, Blushbaby, Hush. Sephora: Sunday Riley Luna Oil, Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector in Opal. Brunette is the New Black Sweatshirt from BITNB.ca....need. more. money.
