One Man’s Trash Is Another Man’s Treasure…More Accurately, One Woman’s Trash is Full of Beauty Treasures

Coincidentally, it always seems as if I run out of everything at the same time! All of a sudden I end up with a bunch of empty beauty product containers on my bathroom counter. Since I write a beauty blog I am forced to save them all and take a photo of them all together and also individually so that I can tell you all about my beauty empties, you’re welcome. 😉

One Man’s Trash Is Another Man’s Treasure…More Accurately One Woman’s Trash is Full of Beauty Treasures

In this post I don’t plan to give an in-depth review of each of these beauty products, but instead I will do a speed review while also letting you know if I have already repurchased, or plan to repurchase each product, or if I have since found something that I like better. I have tried to link everything when possible. If you are wondering, I purchased the majority of these products at Target, Walmart, Amazon, and Ulta.

Are you ready? It’s going to be a long one! Let’s talk trash…

Skin and Co Whipped Cleansing Cream

Skin and Co Whipped Cleansing Cream 3.38 FL oz $26 USD at Ulta Beauty I was so sad to finish this cleansing cream. It has a nice smooth texture and a light pleasant scent. It leaves my skin feeling clean and smooth without over drying or leaving a greasy feeling. I loved this so much that I cut it open so that I could used every single drop of the product in this tube. I have already repurchased this cleansing cream.
10/10 Recommend

Murad Resurgence | lookingjoligood.blog
Murad Resurgence Rapid Collagen Infusion

Murad Resurgence Rapid Collagen Infusion 1 oz for $79 USD. It is a light non-greasy formula with a lavender scent. I am not a fan of the scent, but it isn’t overwhelming or overpowering and doesn’t linger the way the scent of some facial products do. Murad boasts that this product will improve the look of the skin in two hours…I’m not sure why they would lie like that, but after consistent use of this product I feel like it’s made a difference in the look and feel of my skin. At $79 for 1 oz, this product is not cheap! Is it totally worth the high price… maybe, did I repurchase it, yes.

Colgate Whitening Crystal Mint

Colgate Whitening crystal mint 4.6 oz $1 USD at Dollar Tree. I have extremely sensitive teeth, because of that I cannot use many types of toothpaste. I switch between this Colgate Whitening crystal mint toothpaste and sensodyne pronamel toothpaste (4 oz for $6 USD). I’ve been using them together for about three years and haven’t noticed any increased sensitivity to my teeth. Yes, I have already repurchased this toothpaste.

nivea lip care | lookingjoligood.blog
nivea lip care

Nivea Moisture Lip Care 4.8 g $3.50 USD for a double pack. I’ve been using this moisture lip care for years. It is smooth in texture and is unscented. I have been repurchasing this nivea lip care for years… that is until I accidentally purchased the Vaseline Original Lip Therapy (4.8g $0.97 UDS) Vaseline one is in the same exact blue and white packaging, it is a very similar product, but I like it just a little bit more than the Nivea one.
I still 10/10 Recommend the Nivea Moisture Lip Care, but I have been repurchasing the Vaseline Original Lip Therapy instead.

Aveeno positively radiant | lookingjoligood.blog
Aveeno positively radiant

Aveeno positively radiant 60 second in-shower facial 5 oz for $8.50 UDS. I am a believer in exfoliating the skin. I’ve used all kinds of different types of exfoliants. This one is great because it leaves my face feeling smooth and looking “radiant” and fresh after I use it. It gently exfoliates my face without any sensitivity or over drying. Yes, I have already repurchased this Aveeno positively radiant 60 second in-shower facial.
10/10 Recommend

Trader Joes Facial Toner | lookingjoligood.blog
Trader Joes Facial Toner

Trader Joe’s Facial Toner 4 oz for $4 USD. This spray is hydrating and refreshing with a light not overwhelming rose scent. I use it twice a day every single day. I have repurchased this over and over again.
10/10 Recommend.

Aussie 3 minute miracle | lookingjoligood.blog
Aussie 3 minute miracle

Aussie 3 minute miracle 16 fl oz for $5.50 USD I love this stuff! It makes my hair feel so soft and smooth! It is thick and creamy. It is infused with avocado and jojoba oil which gives it a nice light fruity scent. I prefer this conditioner over many of the high-end more expensive hair conditioners that I have used. I have repurchased this over and over again.
10/10 Recommend.

Dr Teal's Body Lotion | lookingjoligood.blog
Dr Teal’s Rejuvenating Eucalyptus Body Lotion

Dr Teal’s Rejuvenating Eucalyptus Body Lotion 18 fl oz $5 UDS. Back a while ago when I was in physical therapy for my hurt arm I used to take a lot of epsom salt baths, and I feel in love with the Rejuvenating Eucalyptus scent of the bath salts. I purchased this lotion because I enjoy the light pleasant fresh and clean scent. It is a thinner consistency lotion that sinks into the skin quickly. While I don’t necessarily think it is the best lotion I have ever used when it comes to the softening of my skin, I enjoy the scent. I have already repurchased this lotion.
7/10 Recommend.

10/10 Recommend.

John Frieda Brilliant Brunette 8.3 fl oz for $12 USD. I’m getting to the point in my life where I have some gray hair but not really enough that I need to start consistently dying or coloring my hair. While I don’t necessarily think that this colour deepening conditioner has made any difference in the amount of gray hairs I have, I love the way it makes my hair feel and smell. I still have just as many gray hairs, but I have also repurchased this, I really love the scent.
1/10 recommend for colour deepening, 10/10 for scent and conditioning

Caress body wash | lookingjoligood.blog
Caress body wash

Caress body wash 18.6 fl oz for $5.30. This used to be my absolute favorite body wash…then they changes the scent and formula. I still like it, I don’t love it the way I once did. A few years ago I wrote a post all about how much I loved this Caress body wash. You can read all about it by clicking HERE. So, long story short, since I am super sensitive to scents and this one doesn’t give me headaches I have continued to repurchased it, and will continue to repurchase it.
The original scent and formula 10/10 Recommend…. the new scent and formula 6/10 Recommend

Derma-E Vitamin C | lookingjoligood.blog
Derma-E Vitamin C

You can read all about how I feel about this Vitamin c serum from Derma-E by clicking HERE In that post I shared about how I feel about vitamin C brightening serums in general and which ones I prefer the best out of all the ones that I have tried. While I do like this tonic I have not repurchased this at this time.
8/10 Recommend.

Product Empties and Reviews

Empties

I don’t know about you, but I love to watch empties videos on youtube!  I feel like if a person has used up an entire product they can give a really good review.  

I have some empties of my own to review…

Pumice naturally exfoliates skin, while the Vitamin C and Citric Acid found in Grapefruit facilitate healthy skin renewal. | lookingjoligood.woordpress.comSay Yes to Grapefruit
The product claims to…
Cleanses, exfoliates, and adds an extra dose of radiance to your daily shower. Pumice naturally exfoliates skin, while the Vitamin C and Citric Acid found in Grapefruit facilitate healthy skin renewal. Your skin will be smoother and more even-toned.
Grapefruit is rich in Vitamin C and Lycopene (anti-oxidant heavy hitters), which naturally help to even skin tone and enhance luminosity, promoting healthier, smoother and softer looking skin. Pumice is a natural exfoliant, derived from volcanic rock leaving skin feeling fresh and renewed.

I love the way this body scrub smells!  It has just enough pumice in it to provide good exfoliation without being too abrasive. It lathers up nicely and makes my skin feel smooth and smell fresh.  I was in love after the first use!
Will I repurchase this product:  Yes!

Removes dirt, oil and make-up without rinsing. Formulated with White Tea and Cucumber Extracts. Dermatologist-tested and ophthalmologist-tested. FSC Certified, natural fabric. | lookingjoligood.woordpress.comBurt’s Bees facial cleansing towelettes.  
The product claims to…
Removes dirt, oil and make-up without rinsing.
Formulated with White Tea and Cucumber Extracts.
Dermatologist-tested and ophthalmologist-tested.
FSC Certified, natural fabric.

They cost around $6 for 30 wipes.  I really wanted to like these…  The packaging is so cute, plus they are Burt’s Bees, so it is a more natural product.  Well, I found them to be a bit dry and they left a sticky feeling on my face.  So, as far as no rinse, that is a no go.  Also, you have to make sure you get the package closed tightly or the towelettes can dry out to the point that they are not usable.
Will I repurchase this product:  NO

98-85 % of the total ingredients are of natural origin.

I received this cream in a Birchbox a few months ago.  From the very first time that I used it I was in love!!! It has a nice fresh scent, and I love the way it applies to my skin.  The only bad thing I can say about it is, that besides Birchbox, I can’t find anywhere that sells it.  I would love to repurchase this, but for now there is a waiting list on the Birchbox site (that is how good this product is!)
Will I repurchase this product:  Yes!

All CeraVe products contain the vital ceramides healthy skin needs to help restore and maintain its natural protective barrier.

As I mentioned the other day I love this product! My skin feels nice and smooth and hydrated after I apply this moisturizer.  In the morning, if I apply a small amount to my face I can even wear it under my makeup without any difficulty.  The 16 oz jar lasted me around 6 months.
Will I repurchase this product:  Yes!   I love this product so much that I have a subscription for it from Target.

Invigorating morning facial cleanser | lookingjoligood.woordpress.comInvigorating morning facial cleanser

I got this facial cleanser from Dollar Tree.  I kept it in my shower and washed my face with it every morning.  For only $1, I think it was a great face wash.  It gave my face a nice light tingling feeling and didn’t make my skin feel tight like some cleansers do.  I think that it is supposed to be similar to the Morning Burst Facial Cleanser from Clean & Clear.
Will I repurchase this product:  Yes.  Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find it again in any of the Dollar Trees that I have gone to, but if I find it again, I will repurchase it.

L’Oreal Advanced Haircare – Volume Filler Thickening Shampoo
The product claims to…
Penetrates hair fiber from root to core to tip for healthier looking hair. It works to create texture from within to generate a thicker feel and infuses lasting volume over time.

L'Oreal always has coupons available, always! | lookingjoligood.woordpress.comAs a brand overall, I love L’Oreal.  These shampoos and conditioners are awesome.  My only complaint is that they don’t smell that great. (I love it when a great working shampoo also smells great too!) I think that since I bought this bottle, they may have recently changed up the scent, but I am not 100% sure about that.  Did I find that they shampoo made my hair thicker over time…I don’t think so.  I know some people don’t like to use a hair product that has Sulfate in it, but I don’t dye my hair (not yet anyways…) so it isn’t something that concerns me.

Another thing I love about this product is that L’Oreal always has coupons available, always!  Here is a link for several different L’Oreal product coupons. (I love a good deal!) Click HERE for the L’Oreal Coupons.
Will I repurchase this product:  Yes, is it my absolute favorite shampoo of all time, no, but for the price I get it for, it is a great one.

Product description…

Clinically Proven Healthier Hair with Every Wash.

After talking about shampoo, it only seems natural to talk about hair conditioner. Pantene’s Sheer Volume conditioner is easy to use and works awesome! My hair is always super shiny when I consistently use this conditioner.  It is not heavy on my fine hair and doesn’t weigh it down. My hair is clean and shiny and well-conditioned. I do not blow dry my hair everyday, but even when I air-dry it my hair is never flat or weighed down.  I love that the larger bottles have a pump on them.  It is so easy to get just the right amount of conditioner out each time without taking too much and wasting it.
I often stock up on Pantene products when they are on sale and I have a coupon.  Click HERE to see the great deal you can get on Pantene at Target.  Click HERE for a printable coupon for $2 off two bottles of Pantene.
Will I repurchase this product:  Yes, (I actually already have and will always continue to.)

How about you, do you like empties videos and blog posts?  Have you used any of these products and had a different experience with them?  I’d love to hear your opinion!
