February Empties :: Murad, The Body Shop, Cetaphil, Alterna, Caudalie

Can you believe we're two months down for the year? You know you're extremely busy when things pass by in a flash! And yeah, I've been hella good keeping up with my goal: empty out my stash and give you my opinion whether it's a bust or must.

I've tried different ways to remove makeup but I find myself going back to wipes or micellar water. Force of habit: wipes are cheap while micellar water removes the grimiest of grime effectively. 

My go-to drugstore brand Cetaphil has cleansing cloths that are great for travel and quick makeup removal. I hoard wipes like it's the dawn of apocalypse so a repurchase is definitely happening. {buy here}

Infused with organic grape water and camomile, Makeup Remover Cleansing Water is my ultimate favorite from Caudalie. It smells so fresh and leaves my skin ultra-soft. The only con is its inability to completely remove waterproof mascara and heavy-duty eyeliner. I may repurchase. {buy here}

Murad Essential- C Cleanser jumpstarts my morning skincare with its inviting citrus scent. I love that it has Vitamins A, C, and E to fight free radicals. Anything to delay aging, you bet I'm in. I will buy when I'm done with other cleansers. {buy here}

Exfoliation is second nature to me. I do it 3-4 times a week, especially in colder months when my skin is awfully patchy. Satsuma Body Polish is one of my favorites from The Body Shop. I love its orange fragrance. It scrubs just right; meaning it does not grate my skin like I'm a cheese. Already repurchased. {buy here}

When I dyed my hair caramel blonde last December, this Caviar Anti-aging Replenishing Moisture Masque from Alterna was highly recommended by my hairstylist. She advised me to use it every now and then, preferably after four washings to keep  my hair well moisturized. Well guess what, I used all of it but didn't really like it. For some odd reasons, it made my hair puffy and quite dry. Waste not so despite my uneventful experience, I finished the tub. On a positive note, I like the scent plus it did preserve my hair color (about to finish Alterna Caviar shampoo and conditioner).
