 Good morning, I'm Mary Ellen and today I'm going to go through my empties to tell you if it was worth it And there's a few things that weren't worth it and to announce the winners of my last giveaway And this really isn't in any order maybe a little bit, but I'll go ahead and get started The first thing I want to talk about is the grande brow. I absolutely love it when I first got it I used it every night on my brows and I wanted to keep track to see how long this lasted I opened this on June 22nd and I it was empty on 416 21 So that was almost 10 months ago But now I only use it three nights a week and I mostly use it in this area right here Because I couldn't get my eyebrows thicker with derma rolling there. So I just put it in Each eyebrow. I do not double dip. I just do take it out one time. I will probably always use this I have used lash serums in my eyebrows before and I got Long eyebrows. I didn't they didn't get thicker. So I really do like this Now the grande lash I opened it up a few days later. It ended up lasting nine months And again now I just use it Monday Wednesday and Friday But when I first started using it I used it every night and I can't remember exactly but it seems like it took seven or eight weeks for me to see the the growth and I just use it on the outer part of my eyelashes. I don't put it in here So maybe that's why it lasts so long and the reason I've had people ask They say well, you'll you throw your mascara away every three months Why do you keep using your eyeliner and the reason is it doesn't come in contact with the wetness of my eyeball? So I mean it does it's not as much of a breeding ground So I just go right on top of it and that's it and I've never had any problems and speaking of mascaras I think I just threw away my two old tubes. I was getting a few things together I went into the kitchen to do some things I had two tubes and then I had that little tie that I tie around the one that I'm using because I took it off and I thought So I guess I dropped it in our trash I'm not gonna go through it because they were both empty I changed my mascara out every season the beginning of every season So I had spring and I had summer and I will have another one I know in fall and I buy mine at a reduced price. It's been my favorite mascara Since it first came out and I think I don't know I know it came out in February and it was three or four years ago and it's just a perfect mascara for me So yes, I will repurchase and of course I will repurchase a grande brow and I'm pretty sure I'll do grande lash, but I'm willing to try something else there Sadly, I used up my milk Makeup. It's a gel eyeliner I I only use navy and I only use it in the upper waterline and this was a good one I do have I bought two backups before they went out of business But I've only found two cruelty free Eyeliners that stay in the upper waterline one of them was from it cosmetics and they don't make the navy anymore And they have changed formula. I need to check and see if they brought in navy, but something a little bit interesting I have tried the mark Jacobs. I've tried the Urban Decay 24 hour and They didn't last on me, but I had a black mark Jacobs and a black Urban Decay and they both did great, but I quit using black in my upper water lines Quite a few years ago, so I'm strictly in navy. Maybe I'll get exciting and try another color sometime Deep purple wouldn't be bad. This is the second Brazilian kiss by so Dejan arrow. Dejan arrow. It's a lip balm. I've used up both of them I thought they were good. I think they're $18 one of them was a gift and I bought one But I don't think I'd repurchase because there's so many other things. I like better bed I do like several of the so Dejan arrow products. It's still good, but it's it's not like a top one The it anti-aging armor with 50 plus SPF is gone. I don't think I will repurchase it I like the one from dermatology. I'm not sure if you can buy this one This is the tint and moisturizer SPF 46 universal tint. I think they've come out with a one that is totally mineral This is mineral and chemical, but I love this I bought one before they came out with a new one So when I try the new one, I'll let you know, but this is so much less expensive It has just about it has to me. It has the same SPF It works as my moisturizer. The only thing I liked better from it cosmetics. They're anti-aging armor It had more of a tent and it had a little bit more coverage The dermatology is a lot less expensive and I like it very well I used to pick Kenra platinum blow-dry spray and I Lasted me over a year. I opened it up on March 6th 2020 and well, you know This is August and I think it probably oh Five or six weeks ago it ran out and I opened up a new one so I know these always last me a year and I use it every time I wash my hair with the exception of the time that I use the Dreamcoat once a month. I probably use 14 or 15 times and I just really I like the way it smells I like the way it makes my hair look and I Even if I don't blow dry my hair, I'll put some of this on my hair So this is a keeper and once a year, you know, I mean that's a good thing This is the second shea butter and coconut oil Mask that I've used up and I got every bit of it and it's from Trader Joe's and my dear friend L From Ellis for living Sent these to me and I will buy it because I think I found some on Amazon and Some on eBay that we don't have a Trader Joe's I think three hours is the closest and when we're in that when we're in st. Louis. I'm not thinking about Trader Joe's I mean, there's so many other things going on, but it is wonderful I use it two different ways a couple of times a month before I wash my hair Several hours before I wash my hair I will just work it through and I will leave it on I put my hair up in a bun and just make sure it's Saturated and then I wash it and and it just does really really well It's the best Mask that I've used since back in the day. I don't know if you all remember there was something called Cholesterol and it started with the K and It reminds me a lot of that but it's a good one the next item is full But it's full of a different product I used up the way leave-in conditioner this sells for twenty six dollars. I didn't pay twenty six dollars for it I believe it came in a fab fit fun when I was subscribed to it and I really liked it and I thought about Reordering it and I thought I don't I mean if it was fantastic I would spend twenty six dollars for this, but it was just really good So I looked in my cabinet and I found my infusion 23 I used to use this as a leave-on and that's what I've been doing the last several months. I Just refilled this and now I need to buy a new infusion and I think I mean I think they're almost 34 ounces the infusion the big bottle and I'm thinking I don't know it They may be twelve dollars or something like that, but I mean it works every bit as well as the way Every year before stand-all season. I use a peeling sock and this time I tried the vash peeling socks. I Mean they didn't hardly work at all. I followed the instruction Completely and I know I did because prior to this I've always used Babyfoot and that's what I will use again. It is excellent. You think your feet are in good shape. I do anyway and When I've used that in the past I'd have to wear socks because I would really lose a lot of skin and I take care of my feet There's something really satisfying about seeing all that dead skin go off your feet when you use the baby foot So I won't purchase this and I'll purchase the baby foot my point two five millimeter Derma roller started filling differently. So I am going to get rid of this. I've already ordered I always keep it back up because once it starts to feel differently then I want to trade it out and I like the 192 real needle derma rollers that are made of stainless steel. You can sometimes find them on Amazon. I Order mine from skin diva. I have a 20% off Link and I'm just really happy with them. They're they're consistently good. I like the shape of them I have never had any problem prior Probably for the first couple years that I used a derma roller I used what they call a disc derma roller and I keep checking that timeless still sells the disc So if you've noticed, I don't ever say by years at timeless Although they worked for me for two years, but I just know the real needle derma rollers are so much better So I've already repurchased my derma roller. In fact, I have backups for the three sizes that I use I probably had a couple of these. I saved one. It is a Shiseido Facial razor. One of my viewers, Nola, she said she'd tried it after hearing me talk about him for so for such a long time And she couldn't believe how smooth her skin was and how much more debris and hair she got from her face I have tried them all and for me and Nola, they're the they're the best. I finished the skin diva Vitamin C plus E plus fruiting acid. This is a 20 percent. This is what I use on my face I think it lasted almost five months because I probably I opened it on 319 No, it probably it lasted about four and a half months I Like this and I like the timeless. They have identical ingredients listed in the same order I always keep it in the refrigerator and I've never had to throw any away because it's always stayed good I used up the IT cosmetics confidence in an eye cream. I mean it didn't do anything harmful It just didn't do anything beneficial. I love the blue the bye-bye under eye Brightening cream is what I like. This was just okay, and I won't repurchase and this is this is for everybody This is the aloe Vesta foaming cleansing foam I got this when I was a patient Probably five years ago when I had to be in the hospital like for Four days, I think to start a new medication They gave me this I brought it home and what it is. It's a pH balance. It's a you don't have to rinse it It's a shampoo. It's a body wash But what it really works really good for and I've reordered it since I emptied this you shake it up and there's just a little bit left and You can put one pump on a tissue and It takes a place of the other wipes that you can buy and it is so gentle on the skin aloe Vesta the I use these this in nursing school way back in the day So I know that it's good It's also good like if your powers out and you don't have any hot water and you want to bathe You can put some on a washcloth and you can clean your body. You can clean your feet It's excellent for your bottom and so I did order some more of those But if you're a caregiver if you're just for yourself for your children This is a great product. I mean this one lasted I know four and a half years I probably forgot about it for a little while and then probably something happened And I couldn't take a bath for whatever reason they may have other brands But I'm just familiar with this brand and the last thing I used up is from bat bath and body It is a moisturizing body wash. I've had this a long time. I Used every bit up. It smells good and I'm pretty bad about I like I have like five Different body washes that I just take turns with so I don't use them up very often because some of them I just don't want to use that because I love them and I don't want to have to repurchase them and But anyway, I did use this one up. So that's my empties. I know I miss some things I know I've used up. Well, I put my skincare video in here somewhere. I know I've used up my retina I've used up the hyaluronic acid The matrix of 3000. I mean I've used all those things, but so I just forget I'm not as good as a lot of people about remembering and every time I say I'm going to be better and I will be better now I want to announce the winners of my last giveaway Before I announce the winners of my recent giveaway I do want to mention when I finally get to my box that says Open later the one that's 30 years old several of you ask if I would share the contents and I definitely will if there's anything of interest or is anything crazy So now I want to announce the winners.
