March Empties

March is one of those months that always drags for me- but this year it flew by! I feel like I blinked and the month ended- and now I'm here with all my empties to share with you :)

It was a pretty good month for empties however they were mostly household items. I backed off a lot of makeup wearing this month since I'm desperately trying to get my skin under control. My skin has been super dry and red and I really don't want to anger it anymore then I already have.

Only three chapsticks were finished up this month! That might be a new record low for me because I absolutely love this Cake Batter flavor. I felt it was time to end my use three of my eye products since I know the three months recommended for use has definitely gone by. Benefit Rollerlash Mascara is amazing! I will definitely continue to purchase this even though it's more expensive then drugstore mascara. I really liked the L'Oreal Telescopic Liquid Eyeliner but I will be trying some other liquid liners. Lastly in this category I haven of my favorite products of all time: Diorshow Maximizer Mascara Primer! This product makes my lashes SO long and SO full it's amazing! I can use it under any mascara and it's incredible. I hate when I don't have it!

I finished up a body spray from Bath and Body Works in Oahu Coconut Sunset which I thought was nice. I definitely wouldn't repurchase it in the future just because I have many other scents I do prefer over this one. I decided to toss these Pacifica Deodorant Wipes since I've had them forever and never use them. I originally bought them for Disney World but only used one or two. They work okay but not for a long period of time- so don't expect to use them in place of deodorant! Next up is Bath and Body Works Tiki Mango Mai Tai shower gel which even Tim was using because it smelled so amazing! I will definitely repurchase this in the future!

We finished two hand soaps this month. The first is from Bath and Body Works in Frosted Cranberry. This was a good scent but not one I feel the need to repurchase in the future. The second is Softsoap Orchid Petals and Mint Water. I didn't love this scent either and wouldn't repurchase it.

The one candle I finished up was from a Fundraiser for a girl who passed away suddenly in my community. Not a candle to repurchase regularly but I'm glad that I purchased it to help fund scholarships in her memory.

I have been LOVING Mrs. Meyers for my household products lately. I order all of mine through Grove Collaborative and their service is superb. Getting my shipment once a month means I don't have to run out and pick up any cleaning products at the store because I'm running low- I'm always stocked up! Use this link and get $10 off your first order!!

My favorite scent that I've tried so far has got to be Basil! I thought it was a weird scent based on the name but the smell is incredible- I highly recommend it and will definitely purchase this multi surface spray again in the future.  I also finished two dish soaps from Mrs. Meyers- one in the limited edition Mint scent and one in Honeysuckle. I would repurchase both in the future but I didn't love either of them as much as I love the basil!

My last category for this month is laundry products. The laundry around here is never-ending! There are only two of us but some weeks I am in shock that we've gone through as many clothes as we have. I finished the last of my Purex Crystals. I love this product and I always think that my laundry smells SO MUCH BETTER when I use it! I haven't repurchased this yet just because I like to wait for a good deal/coupon but will definitely buy it again in the future!  I finished two Tide laundry soaps which I love. Tide is one of my favorite laundry products and it works great on getting out stains. The last laundry product is Xtra which was a coupon purchase from CVS. This laundry soap works just fine but I definitely wouldn't pay for it!

Those are all my empties for the month of March, what did you finish up this past month? What products are you loving/hating right now? Share in the comments!

2017 Beauty Product Collections: Perfumes and Body Sprays

Hey everyone! Today I want to share with you how I store my perfume and body sprays as well as share my collection with you. I'm starting a new series called Beauty Product Collections where I'm going to share with you my current beauty products in different categories. I have reduced the number of products I have but I still have lots to use up and declutter so I thought I would take inventory, show you where I'm at and get motivated to use some things up!

I keep my perfumes and body sprays on a mirrored tray on my dresser and I absolutely love the way it looks. I've been using mirrored trays for years- I remember my mom and grandma having perfumes on trays like this growing up and I think it's so feminine and beautiful to store them this way.

Don't they look nice?!

First I'll share my perfumes then we will move on to the body sprays.

Flowerbomb by Viktor and Rolf had been on my wishlist for years until Tim purchased it for me last Christmas. I've found that it's more of a nighttime scent for me and I end up wearing it mostly when we go out to dinner or somewhere nice. It's definitely a heavier scent then I normally wear but I absolutely love it.

Taylor Swift Wonderstruck is a great day scent and is super light. I wear this a lot day to day and I think this may be my second bottle of it. I love the Taylor Swift perfumes because they last all day without being overwhelming.

This is by far my favorite perfume of all time and is Taylor by Taylor Swift.  I get so many compliments when I wear this and I have gone through at least three bottles of this. If they ever discontinue this I will buy every bottle I can get my hands on because it's so amazing. It's very fruity and floral but I can't get enough of it. I cannot recommend it enough!

Roar is a perfume that uses your body chemistry to create a scent. This is just okay and I definitely won't repurchase once I finish this up. I thought the concept was really cool but I much prefer some of my other scents to this one.

Princess by Vera Wang is a perfume I was obsessed with the idea of so I'm glad that I purchased the smaller roll on instead of the huge bottle. I like this perfume but it's nothing special and is a little stronger then I normally like. Once I finish this I will not be repurchasing.

Pink Sugar is great! I do really like this scent for day since it's super sweet and sugary. To me it smells like walking into a candy factory. There are other scents I would rather have but I definitely enjoy wearing this one!

Now onto body sprays!

Victoria's Secret Amber Romance is the body spray I'm currently wearing daily and working on using up. I received a gift set which I enjoyed but this is a scent I definitely wouldn't repurchase. I don't find that the scent lasts very long even if I give myself ten sprays in the morning before I leave. Once I finish up this and the matching lotion that mini gift set will be gone!

Bath and Body Works Oahu Coconut Sunset is nice and I do really enjoy using this mini. It primarily smells like coconut which is one of my favorite scents however I don't think I will repurchase this once I finish this up.

I had heard amazing things about Victoria's Secret Pure Seduction so I had purchased a complete set of body spray, shower gel and lotion but I haven't really used it yet. I have sprayed myself a couple of times but can't wait to try out the entire set together. It smells great and definitely seems like it has staying power.

I've used this Bath and Body Works Vanilla Coconut Body Spray a few times and it smells nice but not something I need to repurchase in the future. I definitely prefer some of my other scents to this one but I will definitely be working on using this up.

I have been through multiple Victoria's Secret PINK Warm and Cozy body sprays and they are amazing! I have a big one this time so it will last me awhile but I absolutely love it. It is similar to pink sugar but not as strong and smells just like its name warm and cozy!

My brother bought me this Bath and Body Works Wild Madagascar Vanilla Body Spray and I really like it! I haven't had a chance to really use too much but it's definitely a body spray that I'm enjoying. (Can you tell by now that I love vanilla?)

Snow Angel by Philosophy was given to me by Rachel at Christmas Time and I haven't really bonded with it yet but it smells amazing. My plan is to use this from Thanksgiving through New Years since it will be a great holiday scent!

Pink Sugar Hair Perfume is something I bought on a whim but it is great to use as a compliment to my Pink Sugar perfume. I don't think I would repurchase this however since I don't really need it.

Pretty In Pink body spray by Victoria's Secret is a product I've had for years and have not used up yet. It's not my favorite so I will definitely have to work on using it up so I can be done with it.

Moonlight Path  by Bath and Body Works is my newest body spray and I absolutely love it. It's super strong and the staying power is incredible! It's super floral which I surprisingly love and I'm excited to add this to my collection.

Lastly,  I keep a rollerball of Taylor Swift Incredible Things in my purse so I can throw on some perfume if I forget at home or if what I applied earlier has worn off. I do like this but it is probably my least favorite of the Taylor Swift perfumes, it smells super clean and isn't as floral or musky as the other ones.

So those are all my perfumes and body sprays. 18 in total so I would like to reduce my collection a little bit. How many do you have? What are your favorite scents?
