Monthly Empties: November & December 2014

Alright, trying not to be too tardy with my monthly empties post this month. November and December wasn't too exciting in terms of products. But I see how much I'm piling for January already, so need to get these 2 months up fast!

November was spent with a week at Turks & Caicos so I ended up using many samples instead.

November 2014 Empties- qiora Face wrap spa mask, Silk Whitia Collagen Moisturizing & Nourishing Eye Mask (review), Korres Body Butter in Guava, Peter Thomas Roth Max Sheer All Day Moisture Defense Lotion, DDF Ultra-Lite Oil-Free Moisturizing Dew, fresh Sugar Advanced Therapy

• qiora Face wrap spa mask - These were quite interesting face masks as it's only for the bottom portion of your face (eye area and below). I love the qiora line and these was a nice mask that left my face feeling very subtle and plump afterwards. Sadly I think these are discontinued now.
• Silk Whitia Collagen Moisturizing & Nourishing Eye Mask - reviewed here before. I, of course ,used it to compensate for the lack of an eye mask from the qiora spa mask. =)
• Korres Body Butter in Guava - These body butters are quite pricey at $29 a bottle! But I do love how silky soft your skin feels afterward applying. Absorbs super fast and erases any dry patches immediately. Guava is also a very pleasant sweet scent and not in an overpowering way. Something that I don't mind using again, but hesitant because of the price.
• Peter Thomas Roth Max Sheer All Day Moisture Defense Lotion - I received many samples of these especially inside the Sephora Sun Kits every summer. Not something I really cared for, it applies and feels like sunscreen and not the lightweight lotion that it claims to be. 
• DDF Ultra-Lite Oil-Free Moisturizing Dew - Also a Sun Kit frequenter. I preferred this over the PTR lotion. It feels a lot less like a sunscreen maybe because it's only SPF 15 and applies more like a thicker lotion. Nothing that I'm too crazy about though
• fresh Sugar Advanced Therapy - This was a deluxe sample size that I received from one of the Sephora promo codes. I've tried and review the regular Lip Treatment before and feel like this one is not that much different. But again, not sure if it's because these are the sample sizes, they break so easily.  

A boring November of empties lead to an even more uneventful December empties.

December 2014 Empties - My Beauty Diary Arbutin Whitening Mask, SK-II Facial Treatment Clear Lotion, Josie Maran Argan Oil

• My Beauty Diary Arbutin Whitening Mask - I came back from Turks & Caicos with a crazy tan. So out came the Arbutin Whitening Mask to help me return back to at the very least my summer foundation shade. But these again only have a short term effect. So I have to resort to my regular whitening/brightening regimes using SK-II. 
• SK-II Facial Treatment Clear Lotion - Finished another bottle of theses Clear Lotion that I use as a toner after cleansing. Will be sharing a more detailed routine and how to use soon. They've become a staple in my skin routine!
• Josie Maran Argan Oil - Harsh dry winters call for super moisturizers like this argan oil. I just add 2 drops to whatever night lotion/cream that I'm using and it just leaves my face hydrated and glowy. It's an intense treatment to keep my face from getting any dry patches. $48 for a 1.7 oz. I usually get these 0.5 oz bottles from Sephora sets since I only use them during the winter time.  

That wraps up the previous months of empties. 2015 started with a great bang of empties! I can't wait to share all the skincare items that I managed to empty out.

Any of these items show up as a repeat empty for you? Let me know in the comments below!
