Products I Used Up

First off, thanks everyone who linked up on yesterday's post. Y'all made my day. I loved reading your stories. There's still time if you still want to join in.



So I used to do Empties posts, and when I was asked twice within the past week why didn't I do them anymore, I knew had to bring it back. Maybe make it a regular thing again? Let me know.

Today I'm sharing just 2 items I've used up recently. I'm sharing these particular ones because they're skincare. How often do you see skincare in empties posts? Not that often. We try something, it doesn't work, and we move onto the next thing, right? Well, I actually finished these from Paula's Choice! I first shared them here a few months ago. Here's the update on them:

Paula's Choice Resist Daily Smoothing Treatment

  • What I Loved:
    • 5% Alpha Hydroxy Acid 
    • can be used by all skin types 
    • no fragrance
    • lightweight and silky
    • great for preventing and reducing the signs of aging, including sun damage, fine lines, uneven skin tone, and wrinkles.
  • I have already ordered more of this.
  • What I Loved:
    • retinol 
    • great for dry skin
    • 100% fragrance- and colorant-free
    • feels like a boost of hydration to my skin
    • only takes a few drops
  • I will be getting another one of these! I love it on my chest as well and started using it around my eyes.


As a Power Primper, I am offering 20% off + free shipping with promo code: PRIMPFALL20 to my readers. Expires: December 31st, midnight EST, One-time use only; cannot be combined with other offers or applied to previous purchase.

What products have you used up lately?

Have you ever tried Paula's Choice?

Extra Elle:
  • Last night I had some friends over to watch Pitch Perfect 2. There was even a little karaoke action too!
  • Happy first day of FALL! My fave. I will probably mention this a million more times. FALL!
  • Since it's the first the day of fall, I've got 5 Pumpkin beauty DIY recipes--including Pumpkin Spice Latte Sugar Scrubs and MORE.

    I have not tried Paula's choice but it sounds like great products! I have dry skin in the fall and winter and that serum sounds like something I could use!

    How interesting! For some reason I thought PC was only for reviews of other products. Maybe it was a different site with a similar name. But anyway! I am intrigued and will definitely have a proper look at their range tonight. Thank you for the recommendations! x

    I've stopped doing empties as well, but thinking of bringing them back. Paula's Choice is a brand I've been super interested in trying. I like the sound of the Daily Smoothing Treatment.

    I have used a few things from Paula's Choice and liked them ok. I really like how you can look up other brands on her website to see what she thinks of them too. I like empties posts because you know someone knows what they are talking about if they used it all!

    I have not tried Paula's Choice but I have been doing some research lately on new skincare and makeup products that I should be using and I will definitely look more into this brand.

    I got a bottle of Paula's Choice in my last Ipsy bag and it was a face serum with retinal. I LOVED it and I need to check out more of their products, especially after reading your review on two more of their products!

    That is actually a really good point. I never really see skincare products in peoples "empties" list. I've never really tried this brand before, I prefer REN. I'm really content with their products and how well they are on my skin.

    Yes please to more empties posts! They are honestly my favorite to read. I have mixed feelings about Paula's choice. Not about her products, because I've never tried any, but her site and the way she relays information. haha. I have her wonderful things about her products though.
