So yes, as you can see - I've managed to clear up alot of stuff in the past 5 months. I am so guilty of opening multiple bottles of stuff and never finishing it before opening a new one (life of a beauty blogger, my primary excuse). Anyways - I decided to make it a point to finish a majority of the open bottles I had, and I'll attach my thoughts with a brief review below.



Hair Products:
1. Aveda - Air Control
This is a product I continuously use. So far, I have been fortunate enough to not have to buy this as Aveda sometimes sends e-mails out to its clients for free deluxe sized product samples to try. So far, I received 2-3 for the hairspray and one for the handcream. It's a really good way for Aveda to get people to try out their products and come in and purchase it. I have been a long time client of Aveda and would actually continue to buy this regardless. It gives you a medium hold without the crunchiness and hardness that some hairsprays have. I love this!

2. L'oreal - Vitamino Color Protecting Shampoo
Bought this at the hair salon after I decided to ombre my hair this summer. I found that it helped with retaining the color in my hair, however I would not re-purchase this unless I actually have paid alot of money to get my hair dyed at the salon. I typically box-dye my hair so this would be too expensive to purchase on a regular basis. I'd rather spend my money on a hair product that helps with volume or thickening/re-growth.

3. Khlorane - hair thickening spray
Received a sample of this - wasn't a fan. I didn't find that it helped with the volumizing. I actually prefer the below product from Sudzz.

4. Sudzz - Blowout volumizing spray
Bought this at a salon last year and I love it. I spray it at the roots to amplify and give me some volume. It truly works, however it is pricey. I haven't repurchased it since but I might go back to it if I don't find anything similar in the market.

5. OGX - weightleses hydration coconut water shampoo.
Love this product! Second time buying this and will continue to do so. It is light weight and hydrating with a light coconut scent that isn't too obnoxious. LOVE i!


Face Products:
1. Origins - Super Spot Remover
This is my first time trying this product, and I don't think I will be repurchasing it again. I found that it took a while for this product to take effect and have any healing results. I bought this in hopes that it would compare to the old Clinique Acne Solutions Clinical Clearing Gel - however it didn't. I was so sad that Clinique changed its formula that I was willing to try everything. Sadly this Origins product did not hold a light to it, and well, I will not be repurchasing it. However, the next product is my holy grail....

2. Indie Lee - Blemish Stick
MY HOLY GRAIL PRODUCT! Everyone who I have introduced this to has LOVED it. Its the best zit zapper in the world. Anytime I feel a bump or irritation on my skin from a potential pimple onset I dab this product onto the problem area and it kills it. It has a doe-foot applicator (just like lipgloss). You only need to dab it over your problem area once, please don't drench yourself in it! I've repurchased this twice (and already have a backup).

3. St Ives - Apricot Scrub
This is a very rough scrub, I only like to use this once a week when I want a good deep cleanse. I use this sometimes when I have alot of blackheads or when I feel my skin getting too oily and I have been breaking out from stress or from hormones. This contains salicylic acid, which aids in combating acne. I will be repurchasing this product again in the future.

4. Cleansing Lotion (from the Japanese store)
I love this product, it's like Micellar water - you just use a cotton pad to wipe this on your face to remove all traces of makeup. Technically you don't have to wash your face again, but I always do! This is my 2nd time re-purchasing this, and I will continue to do so (but not right now).

5. Bliss - Fabulous Face Foaming Wash 
This is my third time using this product - I love it, no questions asked I will continue to use this. It has a light fragrance, light exfoliation beads - it just works and it hydrates your face and gives you a beautiful glow. It's gentle enough for daily use!


Misc Products:
1. Sephora - Purifying Brush Shampoo
I liked this product while it lasted. However I will not be repurchasing this as it really is quite expensive when compared to my new finding which is the Dr. Bronners Castille Soap that you can get at a health food store or certain supermarkets. The Dr. Bronners worked much better than this brush cleaner and it also comes in different scents (added novelty). A little goes a long way with the Dr. Bronners while the Sephora one requires lots of product to get a thorough cleaning.

2. Maybelline - Age Rewind Dark Circle Eraser (Brightening)
I know there is a lot of hype around this product in the beauty field, however I decided to try the brightening version and I hated it. It did nothing for me, in fact it made my under eye area have a greyish tint/hue. I tried this over and under my concealer and it did not work at all. I think next, i'll try the medium shade however the Maybelline Fit Me has been my favorite drugstore concealer right now and I am too hesitant to try anything else right now - lol.

3. Urban Decay - Deslick Makeup Setting Spray
Out of all the Urban Decay primers - this one is my favorite. It works and holds my makeup after a whole day. I however, have recently changed to a cheaper drugstore version - the Hard Candy Makeup Setting Spray and I love that product so I will most likely hold off on buying this product for now.

4. Too Faced - Primed and Poreless primer
Liked this product alot, however it has quite a greasy finish. Not greasy in a bad way, it just feels like it doesn't dry to a powder like the Smashbox Pore Filler Primer. I will not be repurchasing this again.

5. Poo-Pourri - Organic Nature's Call
Got this a while bag as a fun thing to try out - did not work. It really only helped in public washrooms when you wanted a deodorizer, but it did nothing in terms of masking any scents.


Body:
1. Dove - Go Fresh Raspberry and Lime Scent
I love this soap, I used it when I was in Hong Kong 3 years ago and saw it at Pacific Mall and had to repurchase it. You know how a scent brings you back to a certain memory or place, well this scent brings me back to my 3 week trip in Asia - Japan, Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong to name a few cities. This scent was release in Asia only and wasn't released in North America. I guess that's why you can only find it in Pacific Mall.

2. Bath & Body Works - Apple Blossom & Lavender Body Scrub. 
Loved this scrub, it was coarse enough to work its magic all around. However, I will not be repurchasing this product again as the scent was a bit too overwhelming after a while. I find most scents at B&BW too pungent and overwhelming.
