    June 8, 2017 / 0 Comments

    Goodness gracious, where did the month of May go?  Can you believe it's already June?! :)  Today we will be going over the Product Empties from last month.  I did a lot of traveling in May, using up samples and disposing of them on my trips, so we are lighter on the empties than usual.  Each of these products will be accompanied by a mini review, and recommendation on whether or not I would repurchase.

    Happy Saturday, dolls!!!  Today we will be going over the Empties from March and February.  I was out of the country for most of February so I was unable to get a post up then.  This will combine empties from both months 🙂  Each of these products will be accompanied by a mini review, and recommendation on whether or not I would repurchase. MAKEUP L’oreal Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara:  There is a reason this is a cult favorite.  The mid-sized brush adds length and volume with each buildable coat for va-va-voom lashes.  The formula is pitch black, dries quickly, and doesn’t smudge or irritate my eyes.  This is one of my top…
