The Loch Ness Monster Likes Makeup Too

It's been a few months since I've written an empties blog, which means I've accumulated a TON of used up products. So, buckle up because this is going to be a long, long post. Personally, I really like writing and reading/watching empties blogs. I like watching empties videos because it inspires me to use things up, and I like writing them because it gives me a sense of accomplishment. Plus, it's nice to feel like I'm actually getting my money's worth out of all the makeup I buy (and, trust me, I buy a lot of makeup). So, without further ado, let's get into it: Dandelion by Benefit - I use up a blush very seldomly. Obviously, a blush is tough product to use up because you only use a small amount each time you use it. That's why I'm so incredibly proud of myself for using up the Dandelion blush by Benefit. Granted, it was only a travel size, but it was still a pretty big accomplishment in my book. I've been on a no-buy with blush for a long...

It's been a while since I've written one of these new to my collection blogs. I've picked up a lot of new products recently, so I have a lot to talk about. Let's get into it. Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion by Clinique - I needed a new moisturizer and, fortunately, I got a sample of Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion, which I've been wanting to try for a while.  I've only been using it for a few days, but so far I like it! It feels very nourishing and refreshing on the skin, and it's definitely helping me do battle against dry, winter skin. Overall, I'm quite happy with this product, and I think I'll be repurchasing it in the future. Megaglo Highlighting Powder in Caught In Your Web by Wet n' Wild - I was at Wal-Mart a little while ago, and I saw this highlight, and I was like "yeah, I'll buy that." This highlight is kind of a silvery, icy, purple-white shade, which is right up my ally. I...

So, for today's First Impression Friday, I'm going to do something a little different. I want to talk about a hair care brand called Unwash . Now, I want to be totally upfront here, I don't know much about hair care. I don't know how to style my hair, I don't know how to make my hair behave, everything I do with my hair is trial and error. However, I do know that I have somewhat challenging hair. My hair is very dry, brittle, frizzy/curly, and somewhat damaged. I only wash my hair once in a blue moon because it's so dry, but, when I do wash my hair, I often feel that traditional shampoos are a little harsh on my hair. I've been wanting to delve into the world of clarifying shampoos and co-washing for a while. One day, Ulta was having a 50% sale on Unwash products, so I thought I might as well try them out. I've actually had these products for approximately two weeks now, but I've only used them once because, as I said, I rarely wash my hair......
