Hey everybody. This is shanita. Thank you for tuning in to another video, so i am back as promised to finish up my uh product empties haul. From the last few months. I did a uh part one of this one, maybe a week and a half ago, i'll put the link in the description box if you haven't seen it, but this is the second part to this uh video, so i can get rid of these empties. I still have the same back. I show you guys about half of them, and this one is here. I'Ve actually put some more things in it, since i did the last video so at random, i'm just going to pull them out and try not to talk too much and let you know what i think about them. So the first one is the four-way conditioner by maine choice. Everybody knows main choice um. This says it is a co-wash leave-in, detangler and rinse out, which are the four ways you're supposed to be able to use this. I'Ve only used it as a rinse out conditioner, and it was okay. This was not my favorite, it says: japanese cherry and chia seed oil um it promises to improve elasticity, reduce breakage, chia seed oil, strengthens and helps to reduce moisture leaves hair, soft silky and smooth provides protection from the elements hydrates and locks in a lasting moisture. That'S a whole lot to do in one product and actually, if i'd used this one first of the main choices conditioners, i probably would have said that it would. But definitely there are others that are a little better than this. So i won't repurchase that i did buy it during their 50 off uh conditioner sale from sally's with the one that they do around black friday holidays. So that's what i stock up on all my red salt conditioners. I don't buy any outside of that, because i can get all of my go-to's there and it gives me an opportunity to try different ones, so i wouldn't repurchase that one i got some better ones to tell you about. Here is beauty. Ness'S watch me grow. Aerovedic powerhouse hair growth, oil. I do have a coupon code for beauty nets if you have not tried them yet, oh darling, are you missing out on something wonderful? Oh my gosh. I have so many products by them that i love i'm still using. So you have not seen them in any of my recent videos. I think i came on and showed you when i got them so i hauled them at some point, but i'm still using they're. Just so concentrated you don't need, but a little. It'S just taking me a while to go through i'm amazed. I went through this. I use this oil and i think i talked about this in one of my last videos um, i'm kind of getting away from scalp oils. A lot of the companies are making more pomades. You know that has that grease like feel but not tons of mineral oil and um petroleum in it. A lot of companies now are doing that with beeswax. Oh my gosh. I love it so so much more, but i'm still trying to get rid of some of these, and so this was one of my favorites. I used this on my scalp on wash day um prior to conditioning my hair. I used this so i put this in my scalp put on the conditioner on my hair and then put on the bonnet and my heat, and so i just allowed this to kind of sit in my scalp for a little while it is filled with um, essential Oils and carrier oils, rice, bran, avocado, sweet almond, olive hemp, castor black seed, there's amla bromine ginger root, hibiscus flower, aloe vera, horsetail neem, cayenne, pepper, calendula, dandelion, fenugreek marshmallow. Look at this just chock full of amazingness, and so this is what it looks like. You can kind of see some of the ayurvedic ingredients kind of settle in the bottom a little bit there, but i love this considering how herbal it was. It didn't smell bad and i i really enjoy that. A lot here is the gone fishing hair beard, cleansing mud mask from honey's handmade. They - i don't know if this they still sell this or not. This was their men's beard line um they put out this product that that was for men and their hair and beard. I bought this, i think it was. I know it was on sale. I don't think about it. I know it was on sale and it has bentonite clay activated charcoal black, castor oil, avocado oil cumin. It has water agave, just some amazing greens and everything. I just told you is in the top five and i just thought: oh my god that would make a great mud mask for my hair, so nothing about this went to the men in my house. This was mine and i used it on my hair. I think i got two uses out of it and see if i can, if i have anything left to show you um, i've got a little left to show you, but it's kind of gross because it's gone bad. So you see that beigey looking color and then the gray. That is not what it looked like originally. So i did not even finish this up. I just it is supposed to be more of the grayish color or was it the beige color y'all, don't remember which? What was the original color? Was it the beige or whether it's the gray? It has definitely gotten something um contaminated with it and has caused it to go bad yeah. It even smells bad, but this was okay. I have much better clay masks and i have a recipe for one that i make used to make that i love, so i haven't done it in a while, but um this was okay. I wouldn't re-buy it again. There are some very, very good ones out there better than that here is the aloe matcha green tea leave-in by curl of essence. You know i talk about them all the time. This made its appearance in my most hydrating leave-in conditioners, video, and if you haven't seen that one, then you must this one is like a light: green color see there that is kind of the color of it, and it's just like a light. Green soft smoothie. It almost has the consistency of like ice cream kind of that feel, but it does not have any butter in it. It has aloe honey, distilled water, aloe gel, oh lord, and then there's green ginger moringa olive oil. I can't make out the rest, but this this is one of my top five leave-ins of all times all all times. It is so super hydrating, so super hydrating and it will make any styler pop. It will make any gel pop. It just gives great hair. You can use it on wet hair, dry hair. I love it. I probably have two, maybe three left when i go when they go on set. The only thing is that they say just to warn you. They say you need to refrigerate these, and i ended up with two that i refrigerated and one that i didn't, and i believe this is the one that i did not and i kept grabbing it because it was just easy access with the rest of my uh Products, the ones in the refrigerator you just tend to forget about when you're looking at so many, but i didn't have any problem with this going bad at all. Nothing about it went bad. It was fine, and i had it for months here - is mich bounce curl cream. Now you know this is not the original uh. One of my subscribers and friends adalyn sent me this to try. So she took some of hers and put it in this bottle. For me to try and um, i really like this. In fact that is what is in my hair right now. I used this little container up a few days ago. This was my old wash day hair from. I don't even remember what i used the last wash day. I don't know, but i refreshed with this bounce curl. I did mist my hair with a refresher spray and then took some more took that bounce curl, cream and retwist it much bigger twist during the week when i refresh nothing grand just something to keep my hair from tangling and to keep it moisturized. So that is what is in here now and i like it, i like it. My hair was very kind of dull. When i refreshed it it it didn't, have a whole lot of definition. It didn't have a whole lot of shine, so i would say this really bought out brought out some of the best qualities of my hair. It looks really good. I don't know how long this is going to stay. I am actually today really should be. My wash well tomorrow should be my wash day, but i'm going to wear this so the wheels roll off because it's holding up well, so i really like that bounce curl cream. If you have not tried that i would say yes give that a go. You probably don't hear me talk a whole lot about me on here and i love them. I really do the things i've used. I'Ve had great experiences with um, not so much the shampoo but conditioner. I love the leave-in, i love. I love this bounce curl cream and honestly, that's probably all i've tried. So i would say: oh no, i tried the twisting butter. That'S good too. That'S really good. Uh, but this bounce curl cream is like a one and done you don't need anything on top of this really really good. This is probably one of my favorites from them here is sweet cocoa oil. Who is this by jakayla? I talked about jakayla in a previous video. They are a new company. I have not done a complete haul or wash day using just their exclusive products, and i need to do that because i have enough products from them to do an entire wash day um. I bought some things from them on a whale just reading the ingredients browsing through like i do and it was fabulous everything i've used, i've loved. So that is a brand. You got ta check out uh. This is literally just liquid cocoa butter. That'S it! That'S all! This was, and i used it on my hair. I also used it on my skin. It'S a huge jar and it takes a while for me to get through oils. This four ounces yeah. This was quite a bit, so i was so glad i found these um when they were on sale and got a chance to try some things, because she is someone you'll, definitely be seeing more of here, because i would definitely support her again. So this liquid cocoa butter is so good, so good. If you haven't tried that, then you need to amaze that it's just that one ingredient, usually their oils, are a mix of something, but that was perfection all on its own. Here is a product junkie, naturals, honey and hibiscus hair milk. You guys this is how long i've been using these products. This was the black jar. This is from the original original like when she first started up, and so i used this hair milk as a refresher. I always say this: hair milk is so freaking thick and moisturizing. You can use it as a styler. I just got through saying that in another video that i, like literally the last one i just posted my wash day, i used the um honey, hibiscus line, the hair milk and the flax seed gel buttercream, and it gave fantastic hair. I don't think the ingredients have changed. It'S water, manuka, honey, palm oil, cocoa, butter mango butters, uh the well kept. I can't talk, syndramonium chloride, avocado oil, gore, conditioner fragrance and preservative. It'S still just fabulous. It'S coconut oil free, it's glycerin, free and it makes for an amazing, shiny, defined moisturized hair um, it's thick, but it absorbs right into the hair strands. That'S what i i don't understand about that. I don't understand how it could be that thick and not sit on top of the hair, but it doesn't - and it is one of my faves here - is a resurfacing mask. So this is like a powerful exfoliator by the company image skincare. This is not a black-owned brand and i've had this mask for forever uh when i first started getting facials years years ago and i've stopped now because i got it, i got it figured out now, so i don't pay anybody else for it. But this is the brand that she started me on that she was using in the um salon and i bought and started using. Oh my gosh. I can't even tell you how old this was. In fact, i've used one that i got from her, and i've ordered some online for myself. So this is not the original one, but it is from their ageless line. They do have several lines of products. I know you can't see this because it's so beat up, but it has those little small, small diamond crystals in it and they tell you to use it as a mask and then a scrub. And that's what i do. I rub it on my face and i let it sit for 10-15 minutes and it starts to dry a little bit, but it doesn't get dry like a mask mask, but just enough to kind of let the dead skin. On top of your skin start. To kind of loosen up a little bit and then i come back and just scrub it off wet my hands and just use it as a scrub. Oh my gosh, there's nothing like it. I don't think i've used a mask, slash scrub. That makes my skin feel as good as this. I don't think i've ever used a scrub that feels as good as this i haven't. I can say that for a fact so um i wish i could tell you some of the ingredients that are in it, but it's all rubbed off. I can tell you it's a micro exfoliating mask with alpha hydroxy acids that resurfaces and rejuvenates. The look of skin helps, tighten brighten and leave skin feeling ultra smooth can be mixed with any image cleanser or as an exfoliator, and that is true. She told me to mix it with the cleanser, and that way you kind of do it all at one. In one time, but i love the way it felt when i let it sat on my face a minute and then came back and scrubbed it off they're not lying, there's just nothing like it. There'S nothing like that feeling. Oh my gosh, it's so awesome um. I would definitely i in fact i've got one of those i'm looking at another one right now, i'll always have this until i find another one that does what this one do. I like supporting the black brands um black owned brands that do scrubs, because they're a little gentler - and i like those for my skin because they're a little cheaper, so they go along the way. I don't mind putting those on my skin, but this one exclusively for my face: it costs more and heaven knows it just i don't know if i could afford to use this on my body, it's too little for that and my body is big. It would go along, it would not go um, it wouldn't last very long. So i use i use the good stuff for my face. Um, and this is the honey wheat collection, intense quench, hydrating, deep conditioner by gorgeously kinky. You hear me talk gorgeously kinky. Sometimes this is the sister brand to she scented, curls origins and um ajui naturals and oh my gosh, the other one. I can see it on this tip of my tongue. Sprouted curlies, that's the other one. So those sister brains are owned by the same company. They use a lot of the same ingredients, but the products are slightly different uh this one they came out with for the tighter curls more 4b 4c for a 4c range of hair. I believe - and this one is so good, it's so good. You guys it comes in this huge container and it says there is 80 more moisture. After just one use, it strengthens and moisturizes hair that is dry and damaged. It has ceramides in it. So when you sprint it away, it just feels so silky smooth, i just it is one of those that i run to after a protective style or after i've gone way too long without conditioning my hair, because it just is like magic and it leaves your hair. So soft - oh, i think it has water chamomile extract, cetera alcohol, btms, acetyl alcohol, sunflower, oil, glycerin avocado oil, castor oil, wheat, germ oil, syndromium chloride, raw honey, hydrolyzed, wheat, protein and the preservative. I can't tell you how this feels look. Y'All, i was not playing. I was using every drop of that. It looked like i put this bad boy in a dishwasher. I was not leaving any of that. This is so so good if you have not tried a conditioner by gorgeously kinky. I don't know what else to say you just you just got ta, try it so sign up for their emails. You may have to follow them on instagram. I don't see sales on this particular brand. Often she, since it runs some around holidays, uh sprouted curlies do, but i don't see gorgeously kinky running a whole lot of sales. But of course i stopped following them too only because i know i'll be tempted to buy something. I'Ve had to unsubscribe from almost everybody, because the sales are too tempting, and i know i have a problem right. If i'm an alcoholic, i'm not going to hang around at a bar, that just makes no sense, so i don't subscribe to them anymore, but you all, should you definitely should try conditioner by them um. This is aloe vera hair gloss by a twisted aloe, and this is just a gloss that i guess you use it as a styler. This has aloe juice, aloe, gel cmos, nettle, leaf tea, aloe vera powder in essential oils, and it says to apply to clean hair and distribute evenly down the hair shaft for maximum hydration and styling. So to me, it sounded if anything more like a um gel like it would be just a nice holding product. I knew for a fact. This was not going to be enough to moisturize my hair, so i just added it on top of another moisturizer, but after that one time i was like no just no. Let me see if i can even get it out, so you see that it's running it's running. I can't even tip my hand up because it'll run, so it was messy to get out. I i don't feel like it added anything to my hair. There was zero hold, i don't know, or maybe i just don't - have the right type of hair for it. You know different hair types can use different things and have much better results. This one just did not agree with mine, and i don't know if she still sells that or not, but that's there i would not repurchase. I didn't purchase that one, but i wouldn't i'm not going to finish using it here is the conditioner by formulate this is the brand that does personalize custom conditioners and shampoos for your hair. So you fill out this little survey and answer questions about your hair and they use different ingredients formulated by what you said about your hair and send you a shampoo and a conditioner based on your hair type. So this one was for dry kinky hair, and i liked it a lot. I was not not disappointed at this. I thought that it was just you know: gon na, be just a conditioner, but this has some really really good stuff in it, and so, when you get it, it comes with this box. It tells you about all the ingredients. What all is in it and um. They customize it with just the perfect thing for your hair. I i really enjoyed this thought. It was a gimmick that was really nice. So if you're interested in that go to formulate - and i know that they're still around here - is my essential seed cleanser by murad. Here is another throwback to when i was in cosmetology school as a facial brand. We use murad in the practice salon, and so i ended up buying this some years later, when i saw it on sale somewhere. Knowing me was probably um, tj, maxx or somewhere, but it was a huge container. It takes forever to go through. Eight ounces of facial cleanser forever, like your face, is only so big uh. This was supposed to be like their more brightening one. It has an environmental shield that protects from the environment, and it says it helps remove pollution and other impurities without over drying the skin. To me, it was just a nice cleanser that does not over dry the skin. I do agree with that part, but the whole brightening part of it. You know all the extra yeah that's marketing fluff. For me, it was just that it was a nice gentle shampoo, a shampoo cleanser. It is very gentle and it does leave your skin feeling. Nice and soft, but nothing i would run back out and pay 50 for no, no, no, not that here is an herbal cream deodorant by a company called nothing but natural, and so i could not get away with this this time of the year as hot as It is, but in the winter i like to try to go with a nice uh natural deodorant that is aluminum free. I really enjoyed this when i had it. It has coconut oil, arrowroot powder, naturally procured baking, soda, beeswax and essential oils of lavender tea tree and clove. I really like this and in the um, when i first got it like it's a solid, thick sort of. How would i describe this? Well, the problem is now it's gotten hard. That'S that's the main thing right now, it's gotten too hard it is. It takes a little bit of work to get it out. I will say that and yeah once it gets too old, then it gets. It starts to harden on you, but i thought it was good like i enjoyed using it. If this were not in this kind of container, i would buy this again, but it's too it's too hard to be in this sort of container. It just gets too messy and obviously you have to use it right away. You get quite a bit of it, but i like nothing but natural. I like they have so many different kind of hair accessories and um. I haven't tried their hair products, but um they have a awesome hair sock that you can sleep in that keeps your hair in place that i love. I have several of those so be sure to check them out as a brand. She sails on etsy, but you can try that cream deodorant, i think, you'll like it, but just be prepared to just use it while it's fresh here is the hydration shampoo by pattern definitely found this on sale at t.j.maxx. I had no intention of buying pattern. I just by that time i was just out of all the celebrities coming out with their different hair products, but yeah once i saw it on clearance, i saw it. I liked it and um. I decided to give it a try. It was really good. I like this, it does not dry your hair out uh, it is a gentle cleanser, but it cleanses your hair really well, so that show you just never can tell, because this this was really good. I really like that. I would re-buy that i would. It was that good here is cashmere and silk body butter by butterbaby finally got to try them during a sale last year, and this is a very soft fragrance, wonderful, wonderful body butter. It contains shea butter mango butter, aloe vera oil, jojoba oil and fragrance oil. That'S it so jojoba and aloe vera are the only oils in here, and i really really like this. This smells so good. I don't even have enough in here to show you, but if you haven't heard of this one, this is one to follow, and this is one to have. You need this one in your in your life for sure it needs to be in your your stash. You can wear this any times of the year um. I used it up recently. I'Ve had it since it was cold when it was cold. It was soft. When i finished it, it was nice and soft. So it is done. Excellent. Get you some of that! Here'S! The pre-poo detangling ghee from shea bay usa, so i ordered a few items from chevy usa when they had a big sale and she threw some extra items in here and i think a lot of these items were they were getting rid of like they're closing out The particular um items, and so by the time i got this one and by the time it set for a couple of months before i used it, it i'm hoping that's why it's going bad um as you can see. Most of it is still in here, because it's so so so thick that i couldn't get it to spread. It looks like a thick cake batter and i was excited about using it. It would have been great if i could get that to run through my strands and separate my hair to give it some slip. It has tallow in it as this main ingredient, and i just thought: oh, my gosh she's, just gon na fall apart and she's gon na be so so nice. But this is it's gotten really hard and it didn't smooth on my hair well at all at all. So i don't know if um i'm assuming it just was an older product like because i know she's got some great products. I'Ve used some of the other ones that are soft. They work really well, i'm just gon na say this one was sitting around for a while and that's why it has gotten old and didn't work as well. Here is island mango body butter by ancient cosmetics. I told you guys about ancient cosmetics. I caught them on a 80 off sale one day and they really are a um natural black owned company. That does a lot of i find a lot of my butters. I bought from them were repeats if you like the butter you'll like any of them, because they mainly consist of the same few ingredients: shea butter, cocoa, butter, coconut oil, apricot oil and a fragrance. So you get a nice fragrance of whatever. It says that it smells like, and the names really line up with the smells very well, but the butters and the base are all the same: shea butter, cocoa, butter and coconut oil and apricot oil. I like the way they felt on the skin. I would have light for them to be a little softer yeah. I would have liked them to been just a tad bit softer and smoother, something like adding a jojoba oil, something that just gives it a little bit more spread ability to give it a little bit more silkiness but um. I finished it and i probably had about four or five more so i'll finish it. You know i'll finish it. I probably won't buy any more, but i'll finish what i have. Here'S calming bath and body oil by coco lux another black owned company that i worked with a little bit last year. This was my all-time favorite. Oh my gosh! This is a body oil, but she uses this is almond safflower, bergamot, essentials, lavender, flowers, jasmine flowers. I see a c on here. What is this for? Did i rub that off? I feel like something's missing. All i see is almond oil, safflower oil and then those essential oils and then the actual lavender flowers in here and jasmine flowers. Oh my gosh. It smelled d vine, oh my gosh, this stuff smells so good and it's supposed to be like a calming extra luxury oil and it did it looked and it felt and it smelled like this expensive exquisite oil and i loved it so much so so much so Be sure coco lux, you want to follow them. C-O-C-O-L-U-X-X um, follow them on instagram as well. You know what i don't see her on there now as often as i used to just realize that you know. Sometimes you just realize you don't see something as often she used to post on instagram almost every day, there's so many social media sites, though now there's no telling where she is but follower excellent products, excellent ones, here's an ayurvedic, indian moisturizing butter. I talked about this one before it's called herbs and essence, so this is a young man in high school who whip this butter and oil up watching. She just grew up watching his mom. Does this and he started this little business on his own, and i bought this from him from a curry because it just sounded so good and i used it and it's like the yellow butter and it's just mixed with oils as um his shea butter. That'S all the butter, but then it has amla bromi, uh, castor, shea bay, coconut oil, olive oil, hibiscus flowers, fenugreek seeds, glycerin avocado oil, sweet almond, oil, black seed oil, rosemary essential oil and essential oils of peppermint eucalyptus and lavender yo. Let me tell you something: this stuff was so good, so good and i bought it just on the ingredients and it was right when i was getting into ayurveda. You see it. It was a soft soft, creamy creamy butter like the oils. It was just done to perfection. The consistency was amazing. The only issue i had with it was it was so moisturizing. My hair needs some ingredient that gives it some hold, so it was so moisturizing. It was so soft when i first took it down. It looked so good, but the next day, like the definition, was gone because there's nothing in it to really hold the moisture in your hair, nothing to seal it all in and to keep the definition in. You know how i always talk about a product having like product junkie, naturals having that flaxseed gel or another company that might have aloe vera gel inside the styler. It just gives it a little bit of hole so it'll stay. This doesn't have that if this had one of those it would be phenomenal. It would be an absolute perfect hair butter, so i did use it a couple of times on my hair during sometimes when it was dry dry, and i wanted to use this up, and i knew that i was going to be washing soon or that i didn't Care about having any definition i used this and i used it on my body. I think this is the first product i use on my body that had tons of ayurvedic ingredients in it because i wasn't sure how that was going to go. But he doesn't say anything only here about using it on your body, but it was fantastic on my hair. It felt incredible on my scalp and even better on my body, so i don't, i hope, he's still selling. He said that he was doing this to try to earn some money to go to school, so i went back. Of course i bought two or three more because they were just he seems so. Sweet here is uh: oh product junkie, naturals bath and body shop. Uh, a buttercream from body cream from their line. This is cashmere plum, and these are little four six ounce containers six ounce containers that she sold these in, and i got these around the holiday when they were marked down to like five dollars, and so it smells good and it's super moisturizing super duper moisturizing. Now this has been a hair product. I took my hair and wiped it down in there, but it's only so much of this i could get out and plus i had three more so um. This is very good. I was really impressed with that. The first body products i bought from them i was like, but this was better than the ones that i had before. So this body cream is good. You can trust that here is call me later. This is a skin smoothie by love, bold company. I call love bowl company the queen of masks. Anything you need for your face, any condition, anything, that's good for your facial skin. She does a mask for it and it is just spectacular. She has a charcoal one. A vitamin c one of turmeric one uh later came out with like a um um, oh gosh, i can see it. I can't figure the name of it. Follow love, bold, you'll like these, and now she has a few hair products. She has a hair mask. That is awesome. I think it is called slippery, something it is so much slip, and so this was a berry skin one. This one went in here when i was moving, because if i told you i didn't save anything that i didn't think was great uh. It couldn't be good, it had to be great, and this, i would just say, was good and it's a product that just did not fit for my lifestyle, in that you put it on dry skin. Take your clothes off, rub it all over your dry skin and then let it sit for 15 minutes and then go in the shower or um bath to wash it off, and i'm, like i put this all over my skin. What am i gon na do for 15 minutes with no clothes on just standing around the bathroom like what what am i gon na do so it just didn't fit my lifestyle it just. I guess on a luxury day, if i didn't have anything to do, there was nobody else at home, and i was just wanting to treat myself then i would use this, but i put it in here because when everybody else is here, i feel like i'm just Rush rush, go go, go all the time and i don't have time to put this on and let it sit for 15 minutes, but the one time that i did i liked it not love, but i really liked it so it just went in the um empties Thing because it just was not my favorite product out of convenience. More than anything else, it was good, it wasn't great, and it's just too inconvenient for me, just to inconvenience here is this is called natural. Ecos is the brand it's a restorative butter that uses yuku butter, i'm very likely saying that wrong. I think i definitely picked this up from tj maxx. I read the ingredients so super impressed and you know what this is. Why i say you really have to kind of learn things about ingredients. I can still read some ingredients and think something is going to be wonderful, and i use this as much as i could and i finally stopped okay number one is so fragrant. It is absolutely too fragrant honey. The bees and bears will follow you for 14 miles. This stuff, it doesn't smell bad, it's just too loud and the butter was nice and thick. You can see. I tried to use it. I really tried - and i sat there in um, so you can see the butter is nice and soft. I sat there in tj, maxx googling it because i'd never heard of the brand before i'd heard of the butter, but i've never heard of the brand before and when i saw that it was like 25 dollars on i mean that normal retails for twenty-five dollars. I was like okay i'll try this. I think it was like six dollars and oh, the smell is too much i i am not usually one who you know says something is too fragrant to me. I don't like it overdone. I don't like it underdone, and this is just the first product i've had that i just was like it's just too much. It'S too much and plus moisturize wise. It feels good up front. Not a whole lot of shine like a butter would give you um my skin feels moisturized, but there's no lasting moisture in it either for it to be as thick as it was. I think i saw my eyes saw butter and i was thinking about silky, rich moisturizing butter, and this i believe, let me see if i can see it to me. It was like okay, you can tell this. Is water-based and there's very little butter in here yeah? So it is water-based, it is glycerin uh, yakuba butter, cetera alcohol, perfume is the first. It'S the fifth ingredient way too high up on the list way way way too high and then there's other ingredients in it in oils that i am familiar with. But they say it's a quick, absorbing formula light, textured and dry to the touch intensely restores the skin, leaving it naturally firmer. I agree, it's very lightweight. It absorbs quickly, it's dry to the touch i mean, i guess it restores the skin it just it just doesn't. That'S what happens when you get used to what you're used to and now that i've started using these butters that are just butter and oil rich. I know what i love my skin to feel like, and that just did not give me that feeling. So it's in the it's going in the trash here is the intensive conditioner by pattern that went with that little shampoo, oh my gosh, i'm going way too long. Okay! So here's that uh conditioner uh! This is the one for tight. Textures. Remember, she's got two of them. There may be three now, but this one for tight textures fits my hair well, so there is a difference between this and the other one. So if you ever pick, these up be sure to determine which one of these might be better for your hair and i would say, for our hair, the tight textures would be better, no matter what your hair type is. I would get the tighter texture. It is i've heard people say the other. One was just okay. Well, this one i loved, so i believe it definitely has a little bit more um than the rest of it girl. Is there something in here? Look lord jesus. It'S a fire! Let me get my stuff and put it over here. I i i'm keeping that there's something in there. I didn't realize that, oh lord, i didn't mean to do that. No, i didn't mean to do that. Okay, so here is my olay regenerist y'all an item i found in walgreens one day when i was walking by on clearance for five dollars. I was bored and i know the brand oil of olay and um wanted to try this regenerous brand. That olay regenerist is in all of the um higher in magazines, and the product itself is almost thirty dollars, and so, when i saw this one on sale for five, is there rich hydrating moisturizing one? I thought i'll try this five dollars. I that's worth that. For me - and i really like this - really really really was surprised - how rich it was and how much moisture gives your skin. This is definitely the one for more drier skin. Our skin is thicker, so it needs thicker products, and so this was really good. As a facial cleanser, if you're i mean a facial moisturizer, if you're looking for one to sleep in that, is that i'm gon na hurry through these last ones. I'M not gon na make this a separate video. This is turmeric and frankincense oil. This is also by ancient cosmetics. This was something i bought. You know, turmeric was all the it thing, and so i wanted to add this to the mask that i already had. I was going to whip them together, because this is a powder and i'm not going to open it. It literally is just turmeric powder, but it's it's too messy. It'S too messy, no matter what i tried to mix it with. I was ended up cleaning up these stains off of my counter off the sink off the product. It was too hard. It was even after i rinsed my face, it was like still yellow it was yellow, so this product by itself is is is not okay. For me, i can buy it in turmeric end products already, but by itself not me, i can't do that. Here'S baby got bomb by love, bold as well. This is like a vaseline balm. Why did i put this in here um? I remember using this on the ends of my hair to seal it in sometimes it is very moisturizing. It says it moisturizes soothes and protects hair and skin. It has some great oils in it: sunflower jojoba, coconut vitamin e candelia wax uh olive palm fruit, neem, castor glycerin rose hip seed oil, i'm trying to remember y'all. I don't remember why i put this in here. Look at me trying to find a reason to save something. I got a problem like this feels really good, really good. That'S going back on the shelf that feels so good and i think when i packed it, it went in the container when it was cold and when it was cold it felt like it was a little harder to get out of the container. I bet that's what it was because i was in that if it's not convenient, if it's not fast, if i can't just use it and keep going, i'm not going to keep it. But it's really soft now and you can't see this, but that feels amazing. So we'll we'll see, i will use that a few more times it might make it in the next empties. Let'S see how it goes here is beauty, bio, pro universal, pro bio moisture boost cream. This was the moisturizer that i got in my very first allure box. I just recorded a video about those allure boxes. I'Ve been getting. I just combined all the items in one long, video. This was the first high-end moisturizer that i got in my first box and i ended up buying it again on my own. It was that good. It was that good, it's just like with our hair that first layer needs to be something really really moisturizing, that really really hydrating that goes inside that skin and then a nice um layer on top to seal it all in well. This was the product that was so super hydrating to my skin. I loved it. It was like a lightweight creamy serum not hard to handle. You could actually pick it up and rub it in. I have nothing to show you, but it is so so very good. Um and actually allure sells it on their website now as a standalone product, and so i got it from there. It'S really really good love. That here is the honey green, deep conditioner by june rose. Curls i did my last instagram post is about june rose curls y'all, this container is all beat up, so don't don't expect that this is what yours will look like, but this girl has a gift. Okay, she has a gift these this conditioner, the styler. I haven't tried the leave-in i want to so bad uh. This shampoo. She has a black soap shampoo everything i've tried by her i've loved the styler. She has. It looks exactly like this in this kind of container gave me like this. This kind of hair it gave me this kind of hair. So if you want a styler for thicker hair, that's going to give you tons of definition and shine and you're going to get it quicker. Then try! This try june rose curls you're, going to get some bomb hair. It'S going to blow your mind. This is next to product junkie, naturals type styler. This is excellent, excellent and i do have a coupon code for this. I believe it's essence just e-s-s-e-n-c-e. Try that on the website it should work. If you try it and it doesn't work. Let me know i can reach out to her. It'S been a while, since i talked to her, but she does a phenomenal job. Here is muse, deodorant, um, vanilla and sweet patchoula deodorant. This is like a heavy. It feels so heavy. It feels like it's full, but i know i use this up. I got this um one of my subscribers and friends. Joy introduced me to it where you could get a sample for free. I got the sample, i loved it. I loved it. So i bought another one, and this is very, very good if you haven't tried muse, if you have not heard of them, follow them on they're on instagram they're on instagram, but you can also sign up to their website uh. The container is white. You guys - and this is so little - i can't see it - i'm not gon na bother to tell you, but it is aluminum free, a natural deodorant that even i would trust with my hot sweaty self. Okay, of course, there's gon na be a soap and glory right. So here's a smoothie star breakfast scrub - i don't this - has probably been around a while. I don't know i don't know you know i love their scrubs. I love their scrubs. I love their body, washes i love their body milks. I love their um body creams. I i love me some soap and glory. I just do i've never used a product that i did not absolutely adore and i usually pick these up in walgreens every now and then they have a buy to get three sale. And so that's usually when i go and try new stuff or a lot of times, they'll have things on clearance, but that's a great time because that's still included in the buy two get three um free, get the buy two get the third one free. So you get three for the price of two. These are so good. I every every empties there's at least one soap and lure item in here. I think there was two in the last one and if you haven't tried soap and glory, you pass them all the time in target break down girl just get you some just get you some. Oh. I saved this paper because this was such an amazing soap. I opened this, but the paper in the trash took the soap in the shower and it's one of those that as you're lathering and rubbing it on your skin you're like oh, oh, my god, it was so good. I jumped out of the shower well, once i finished my shower, went back in the trash and pulled this out, so i could show you guys it is um by pistachios body wonders or is it body and wonders? Pistachio body wonders i can't remember: pistachio, hair and body wonders. There'S the name right there on the thing. Pistachio, hair and body wonders, and this is her aloe vera soap and it is green and i mean like christmas, green um, but it is so freaking soft. Oh, my gosh, the lather is out of this world. It just makes your skin feel so good, and i don't mean rinsing off. I mean going on. It feels good. Oh, this is so good. This was one of the best soaps that i used in 2021. Hands down it shocked me: i've had it for months, i've probably had it almost a year. It'S definitely been almost a year, and when i used this, it was like love at first use. So um a lot of people have had problems with the brands. They'Ve had problems getting things and stuff taking a while, i i hope she's caught up. I know at one point she was having a little setback had some issues with the shop and this place she was at and i stopped following all that, but i know the two items that i've used from her has been amazing: that hydrating leave-in and this aloe Vera soap out of this world, phenomenal phenomenal all right power glow peel. This was a one minute, one step, exfoliating, facial peel, it's from m61, and this is one of those high-end products that i got in my lure box as well. It has glycolic and salicylic acid in it. It is an exfoliating peel that contains vitamin k, bilberry and chamomile. It is very concentrated. I only got to use it one time i really enjoyed it that one time, but i wish i could have got two or three. So i had time to compare it over time. Um. This was really good, but i feel like it wasn't enough to give me. I can't base an opinion based on it, because it's just it's one time use. You know what i mean it's hard to do, that when you use something one time here is the moisturizing leaving tea spray from aries batch of nature. I think i talked about their shampoo in my last empties video. They have rebranded so their products. Don'T look like this anymore she's out of maryland, but it is a beautiful, beautiful product and she is a beautiful person and she makes some incredible products. This is almost all of her. Products has some aerobatic ingredients in it? Super duper moisturizing, um she's, just a super positive person, and i just love love that uh hair mist. I love the shampoo too. Look you guys. Remember the serum. I just told you about. This is not the same. This is the second one i used two of these and a little goes a long way. It'S not that they go so fast, it's a small little thing, but you literally only need like a pea size. If that i mean it's not even enough to cover your fingers, i wish i could show you the consistency of it, but it's like a cream serum, but immediately it goes on. You feels like your face is just more plump and and just feels so juicy and full and bright. I love this stuff, so i will probably always have that one as long as i can get them for what they charging for right now here is briochio, be gentle, be kind avocado and kiwi mega moisture, superfood mask it was okay, it was okay, i wouldn't buy This again, this was a sample in one of my allure boxes as well. I'M glad i got a chance to try that i didn't it was okay. I no. I there's just way too many uh black breads that i can get a mask for ten dollars. That was better than what that baby calls. So i'm glad i got a chance to use it, but i won't buy that uh neogen dermatological. This is their probiotic youth repair cream. All these little items came from my allure beauty boxes. You guys this was a very nice moisturizer as well, so it was a little bit more creamy and a little bit more moisturizing. So i could put this thing on top of that serum that i like using, but this was very nice. I finished that in very little time that was good - i probably wouldn't buy that again. Yeah, probably wouldn't here, is down to the poor. This is the turmeric deep cleansing scrub by love, bold. She has these in bigger containers and ended up putting them in these little smaller ones. For like a little um trio kit - and i let mine got old, because i have the big one and i was using the big one and it never done the big one. Never got dried out, but this one dried out on me, so it just looks like a big dollop of mud in here right now, and i hate that if i had known that, i would have used it first. So it's got to be something with this container, because the big original container did just fine, eminence organic skin care, calm, skin chamomile cleanser. That was really good. That was from the allure box. I love things that talk about using for calm, sensitive skin. I don't have sensitive skin, but i love the way they are just formulated to just feel so good on the skin. Really really nice uh augustina batter the rich cream y'all this bad boy, not this one, but the original small retail brand. This thing was like eighty dollars insane, but i loved it. I love this. I didn't buy the 80 size, but i did go and buy a bigger one of these. This is like the smallest, smallest little sample. You can get trying to show it to you and um it's so it's nice and rich. It'S one! That'S for my dry skin! I couldn't wear out in the daytime, not in the uh summer, because it would just be too shiny, but i could wear it at night. It'S excellent for wearing at night overnight when you need your skin to you, want it to stay, super hydrated and moisturized all night long. This is so good and in fact now i believe this container they've redone it and it's an actual blue container with white writing. Instead of white with the blue writing - and i'm glad i ran into that - because i need to put it over um there's nothing here to save, but i'll definitely buy this again. Definitely that was excellent and this is malay. Mali. Has anybody heard of this? This is a black owned um. It was formulated by a black dermatologist for black skin. I found this at a store near my mom's house. This is even dark. Dark spot control serum, so i just used it as a serum. Every day after i washed my face to just kind of use as a first layer on my skin care and then use the moisturizer on top of it, i used the whole thing. It was really good. Maybe it worked, i don't know a combination of all these things clearly has worked. I wish you all could see my skin the year before i started youtube. Oh my god, i wouldn't have dared got in front of a camera. I wouldn't have gotten my picture taken. My skin was it was so bad and i'm not exaggerating you guys, it was so bad and i'm telling you whatever shape yours is in it does not have to stay. Skin is constantly regenerating every single day. Whatever you want yours to be, it can be, it just takes a little research and it takes the right product and by all means it takes consistency. People laugh at me because i i will shut everything down early because i got ta go to bed and wash my face and i got ta get my routine together, don't skip it, don't skip it, i'm telling you it pays off and you need more moisturizer on Your face at night, then you do during the day is more important at night and that's the very one. That'S the very part people skip because it's not you're tired you just want to go to bed at night is when your skin is repairing itself. It'S when those dead skin cells are coming to the top is when you need all all of that. Those cells that are renewing it all happens at night. All the repair is happening at night, so you want some moisturizer on your skin. So during the night, while you're sleeping that stuff can moisturize into your skin and just keep the all those different skin levels of your um skin hydrated. So when you wake up in the morning, it's not dry and it feels still supple and nice and over time you will see your skin tone even out and that's what keeps that black from cracking i'm telling you some of that is good genetics, a lot of It is self-care, if you don't have the genetics you got to put in a little extra self-care. That'S just all. It is y'all. I'Ve been talking an hour, but you can make your skin look whatever you want to look like you can make your hair look like whatever you want it to look like right, product and consistency and care and care handle your care. Your hair um, like fine still y'all, heard me say that a million times handle your hair carefully, don't pull it don't run a brush through it when it's dry, be careful and kind to your hair, be careful and kind to your skin and you'll get all of That back 100 fold. I promise you, okay, you guys. If you have any questions about anything i just said any products. I just mentioned any brands. I just mentioned this. Video is almost an hour long, and i am so sorry, but i just did not want to do a third video, but at the same time i want to give you a thorough review of what i thought of these products. So anything i ran through that you wanted to ask me about. I promise if you give me a little bit of an inkling, you know it was that little white tube or something i'll, remember exactly what it was. I'Ve got to get rid of these products. I'Ve had them for too long, but i love sharing them with you, and i hope you found something interesting that you would like to perhaps look into or know more about or that it will cause you to don't turn into a junkie.
