Seventh Sparkle

Hello! It is almost the end of 2023, and it is time to clean out the bin of empties under my sink! I have so many great products that I used up and want to share with you.

Let’s start with haircare.

I discovered the Monday line of haircare this year, and I love it! Not only is the packaging so cute and comes with a pump, but the shampoos are quickly becoming my favorite! I have used up the Clarifying one, and am currently using the Smoothing one. Both have a faint grapefruit smell, lather up so nicely, and leave my hair feeling super fresh! Will definitely repurchase.

The smell of the Moroccan Oil line of haircare is AMAZING, and this hydrating shampoo is the one I reach for when my hair feels dry. Already repurchased.

I also used up my tried and true OGX Tea Tree and Mint shampoo, which is my husband’s favorite, but I use it too. We love the tingly, fresh, and minty feel of this one. It lathers up so much and smells so good! Already repurchased!

I also discovered the Pantene Miracle Rescue line of haircare this year, and I love it. The Deep Conditioning Treatment is my daily conditioner, it really hydrates and smells so good, and then the Miracle Rescue Ten-In-One Spray is what I use on my girls’ hair every night. They love the smell, and it detangles so well. Already repurchased both of these.

I love to use this Kenra Blowdry Spray on my hair after washing, because I always heat style, and this protects from heat and cuts my blowdry time! Already repurchased.

Now, two products that I wasn’t thrilled with. First was the Macadamia Deep Repair Mask, which I know was super popular a couple of years ago, but I didn’t really like it. It didn’t make my hair soft and seemed to just wash right out. Also, the Gisou Honey Infused Mask was kind of the same, it didn’t really do anything for my hair. It did smell good, but that was it. I won’t repurchase either of these.

I used up a few lip products, it wouldn’t be an empties post without a Burt’s Bees, aka my favorite lip balm of all time. I love the pepperminty tingle, and I wear this 24/7. Already repurchased!

This Buxom Power-Full Plump Lip Balm in Big O was a tinted lip balm that turned my lips a sheer pink and felt minty. I really did like this, but probably wouldn’t repurchase because I used it up super fast and I honestly like my good ol Burt’s Bees more.

Another lip product is the Sephora Gel Lip Liner in Sink Or Suede. This is one of my favorite neutral lip pencils, it is almost the exact same shade as my lips, it is creamy, and it lasts so long! Already repurchased!

Of course, I used up a Tarte Shape Tape Concealer. I cannot do my makeup without this, and it the only thing that will cover my dark under-eye circles. I know there is a fresh tube under the Christmas tree for me.

I used up the Replica Flower Market perfume, and I love this scent. It is totally floral and delicious, and it lasts all day on me. I would repurchase, but sadly, I think it is being discontinued.

This Youth to the People Superberry Hydrate and Glow Sleep Mask is so, so nice and hydrating. A little bit goes a long way, and I wake up with the most hydrated glowy skin. I will repurchase this one.

I used up two Lash Paradise Mascaras, which are my absolute favorite. They lengthen and volumize and are just the best! Already repurchased.

I bought the Covergirl Lashblast Volume Waterproof Mascara because I needed a waterproof mascara for the pool and used this one all summer! It really did stay on, so I will repurchase it again for next year!

I knew brown mascara was trending, so I tried out this Covergirl Clump Crusher, and while I liked the formula and brush, the brown color did not do anything for me. I guess I am a black mascara girlie! I wouldn’t repurchase.

Lastly, the Ilia Mascara that was part of my Sephora Birthday Gift. I have tried this mascara before and I love it. If I wanted to splurge on a high-end mascara, I would purchase this one! Like the Lash Paradise, it lengthens and really holds the curl. Love it!

Whew, that is it for my empties! Have you used any of these before?

Let me know if you would like an in-depth review on anything shown here!
