January Empties

I've heard a trend of people thinking January went by so slowly but to be honest, it seems like every other month to me? I finished a decent amount of products in January, many of them have been reviewed previously so I'll be sure to include the links and make a note if my opinion has changed since then.
Bumble & Bumble BB Tonic Shampoo - I managed to find this for $6 at Big Lots and I can't say I'd rebuy at the full price but it is a decent shampoo especially for those of us with scalp issues. It is drying so a nice conditioner aftwards is an absolute must.
Madre Labs Moisturizing Conditioner - This one was of my two favorite products from the line and I reviewed the full line as well as their bath & body products. This is a nice moisturizing conditioner that does not weigh the hair down. It's also reasonably priced and the scent is yummy. I'd repurchase but not till I finish some of my other conditioners.
NYX All Purpose Makeup Remover Gel Type - Even though I think this is pretty decent the bottle is tiny and the smell is a bit odd. I won't be repurchasing.
Klorane Soothing Eye Makeup Remover - This sample came in a Birchbox and I'm very happy I did not spend money on it. Doesn't do anything. I managed to use it up by using it to wipe off the work the MUFE Sens'eyes already did if I wanted to take my eye makeup and not my full face or if I was using wipes that made my eyes sting (the Pond's below).
Sircuit Skin Fixzit - Holy grail.
Haus of Gloi Plotter's Breakfast Soft Bubbling Scrub - I love the Haus of Gloi scrubs!
Ponds Evening Soothe Makeup Wipes - I wasn't a fan of these. Won't be repurchasing.
Boscia Purifying Cleanser (sample) - drying
Fresh Soy Face Cleanser (sample) - I liked this and I'd consider purchasing it in the future.
Kate Somerville Lash Enhancing Eye Makeup Remover - Meh.
Soft Soap Coconut Scrub Soap - My opinion is unchanged since my review. Quite like this for a drugstore soap and it doesn't strip my very dry skin.

Link your empties post below if you have one. I love to read them!

Review: Pond's Wet Cleansing Towelettes Evening Soothe

The Pond's Evening Soothe Cleansing Towelettes came in the target beauty bag from a few months ago. I was in the middle of working through a package of the Salma Hayek Nuance Detoxifying and Toning Wipes which I started liking more than my review would lead you to believe as every time the Salma Hayek line goes on sale, I have been picking up a pack or two of them (very mini review - the packaging keeps the wipes moist all the way to the last one which makes the price a little easier to handle - with the sales they've been comparable to the other wipes I mentioned in the original review and they remove makeup and eye makeup well and they don't irritate my eyes/skin and if I don't cleanse afterwards due to laziness they do not break me out). Anyway, I did finish the Salma Hayek ones and I'm supposed to be reviewing the Pond's so let's get to it!

The Pond's generally retail for around $6 but can often be gotten on sale or in multi-packs which brings the price down significantly. The wipes are quite saturated with product but are a little soapy. The smell isn't my favorite as it's the chamomile and white tea mixed with soap. I don't mind soapy smells especially in cleansing products, but I hate when they add other scents to try to cover them up. The wipes removed makeup well but really burned my eyes. Even though I use my old standby, Makeup Forever Sens-eyes, I still like to quickly run the wipe of the moment over the eye area to catch anything the Q-tips didn't pick up. I wouldn't be able to do that with this makeup wipe and for that reason I would not repurchase. I'm sure those with less sensitive eyes would be fine but for me it's a no-go.
