PotW and Bi-Weekly Empties

I wanted to have this posted Sunday, or Monday at the latest. Here we are, on Tuesday, finally with an updated empties and PotW (palette of the week.) I want to post my empties bi-weekly ending on a Sunday because it motivates me to use my ever-increasing stash of hair care, skincare, and cosmetics. I am a box junkie and do receive a few subscriptions a month and I have also restricted my purchases to a low-buy, hopefully only purchasing products that I completely love or want to replace. Enough rambling, on with the show!

My flat lay game will get strong, someday!

• It's Skin Mangowhite Lip and Eye Remover Tissue- Received from 3B Box. Smells like a floral soap. Cleans well and also moisturizes, but I don't like the greasiness of the film left behind. Also, this stuff stings like hell if it gets into the eyes and takes a long time to rinse out. Will not repurchase. 
• Olay Active Hydration Quench Body Lotion- Purchased at Walmart. It says it's formulated with a green tea and vitamin complex. It has a light, sweet scent, unlike green tea. It's hydrating, but not overly moisturizing. It has shimmer in it, so that limited where I liked to use it. I will not repurchase. 
• Holika Holika Pignose Clear Blackhead 3-step Kit- Received from Mishibox. It's basically a nose patch (remember the girl who exclaims "eww, it looks like a porcupine!") with added steps. This did nothing for me personally, but I did like how the first step made extraction easier. The third step was really messy and just would not stay on!  Will not repurchase. 
• Sunsilk Hydra TLC- received for free from ???. It's still about half full, but this product is so old and I have no idea why I never used and still have it. I'm tossing this since I was a teenager when I received this (think late 90's, early 2000's.) I don't even know if this brand is still a thing...
• Up&Up Sensitive Skin Facial Moisturizer Spf 15 Sunscreen Lotion- purchased at Target. When I bought this, I was looking for a light daytime moisturizer that contained an spf content. This has a plasticy, sunscreen smell and does leave a white cast. I mainly layered makeup over which was no problem. I did find it to be quite moisturizing. Probably will repurchase in the future. Have too many right now.
• Cutex One-stop Pads- Received from Influenster. These worked exactly as described. I was able to remove my polish from my fingernails or toenails with one pad. I really like these over messy cottonballs soaked with acetone. I do plan on purchasing more.
• Burt's Bees BB Cream sample- Received from Walmart Beauty Box. I did enjoy this BB Cream despite it being a bit heavy. I prefer to wear lighter BB, tinted moisturizers, or foundations. I was able to wear it with minimal fading throughout the day, but I did become oily in my T-zone after a few hours. Will not purchase. 
• Re:cipe Slowganic Cleanser mini set- Received from Mishibox. This container was the last of the 3 piece mini set which contained Adlay, Green Tea, and Lemon. This had a fluffy, marshmallow creme-like consistency. It cleans skin really well, but did leave me squeaky clean and a bit dry. I did enjoy this product, but do not plan on a repurchase.
• Nugg Revitalizing Face Mask- Received from Target Beauty Box. This mask has flaxseed and peppermint oil and because of the peppermint it felt cooling and a burned a bit. The fumes especially irritated my eyes. This one filled my nose with the classic VapoRub smell. Will not repurchase. 
• Ecotools Deep Cleansing Charcoal Konjac sponge- purchased from Walmart- Lightly exfoliating and helps cleanser foam up. I enjoy using this sponge and this was actually repurchase. I will repurchase again, after I use my current sponge.
• Simple Cleansing Micellar Water- I really liked this mild formula for a quick morning cleanser. Some days it's easier to swipe away overnight germs and oil and be on my way. It's lightly hydrating and doesn't leave any residue behind. I did not detect a scent from this formula. May repurchase in the future as I have several others to try out.
• Laneige Water Sleeping Pack deluxe sample- received from 3B Box. I like this overnight sleeping pack. It's a light, thin, gel-type consistency which does a really good job of moisturizing. I would wake up to hydrated, bouncy skin. It does has light powder-like scent which dissipates quickly after absorption. I had no problems with this formula and did enjoy this very much. I'm currently using a second deluxe sample I received from a Target Beauty Box. Likely to repurchase in the future.
• Tony Moly I'm Real Rice Sheet Mask Clear Skin- received from Mishibox. The essence in this mask was a thin, light, milky consistency with a heavy and sweet scent. The sheet itself was very thin and somewhat hard to manipulate. It kept sliding down my face (I should have been lying down, but I have very active children) and the shape did not fit well on my face. After about 30 minutes, it did leave my skin very hydrated and visibly brightened. I did enjoy it despite the fit. Will not repurchase. 

Finally, I was going to post my entire makeup basket of the week, but honestly, the only thing that changed (from my latest post) was the eyeshadow palette. Just like last week, I had my daughter spin the wheel and randomly pick from my large stash of eye palettes. I will then try to incorporate the palette with every eye look I create. I also decided that the E.L.F. Mad About Matte palette will permanently stay in my basket since it's easy to incorporate in every eye look. I plan to give myself a nice little reward if I ever pan my e.l.f. palette. Any who, this week's palette is the Pony Shine Easy Glam 2 purchased from Memebox. The colors are gorgeous and can create a multitude of different looks, however the palette alone won't give a full put-together look. Hence the e.l.f. palette.  

Pony Shine Easy Glam 2

Until next week when I post the PotW. Have a great week!
