March Empties / Products I've Used Up

I didn't actually use up many products in March, but instead of holding onto the empties for any longer, I figured I'd do a post now anyways!  I'm often impressed with the number of products in other bloggers' empties posts, since this is pretty typical of what I get through over the course of a month.


Face Naturals Citrus Squeeze Body Cleanser   [Review]
I think I switch shower gels more than any other product, but Face Naturals' Body Cleansers are some of my favorites   The ingredients are great, they lather really well, and they don't leave your skin feeling tight or dry.  I wasn't crazy about the Citrus Squeeze scent though.  It smelled like orange essential oil, but with some kind of heavy, waxy undertone.  
Repurchase? Yes, but not in this scent.

Cheeky Cosmetics Silk Eye Shadow (sample)   [Review]
For the last several months, I've been alternating between Silk and Fairy Tale (also from Cheeky Cosmetics) as inner corner highlights, so I was sad to see this sample bite the dust.  I'm tempted to buy a full size, but I've got too many other shadows to justify it right now.  I've been using Whiteout from Shiro Cosmetics since running out of this one, which does the job, but I don't quite like it as much as Silk. 
Repurchase? Maybe one day.

Yarok Feed Your Roots Mousse   [Review]
I've talked about this mousse more than once, so I'm sure it's not shocking to see it show up here.  As natural hair products go, Yarok falls into the mid-to-high price bracket, but a little does go a long way with this mousse.  The 2 oz. travel size lasted me just about three months of consistent use. 
Repurchase? Yes, I already have.

John Masters Organics Lavender & Avocado Intensive Conditioner (sample)   
Maybe my hopes were too high, but I was disappointed in this conditioner.  I've read rave reviews, but it just didn't hydrate my hair enough.  It felt nice and silky on my head and while washing it out, but when my hair dried, I was left with a lot more frizz than usual.
Repurchase? No.

Balm Balm Witch Hazel Toner (sample)  [Review]
I had mixed feelings about this toner.  I liked how it made my skin feel, but I couldn't stand the sticky, tacky feeling it left on my face.  But, it did inspire my new favourite homemade toner, so I'm glad to have tried it for that reason alone!
Repurchase? No.

Dr. Bronner's Citrus Castille Soap (sample)
I think Dr. Bronner's is a staple in pretty much every naturally-inclined household.  That said, I'm not generally a fan of their scents, and the citrus was the same.  I used the sample to clean my makeup brushes and I have a couple more samples kicking around that I'll probably use up the same way.
Repurchase? Yes, but not in this scent.


Have you used any of these products?
