EMPTIES

~ FEBRUARY EMPTIES ~

WATCH/LIKE/SUBSCRIBE!

I usually tend to think of months with some kind of theme. With December being all about

Christmas and January the new year & my birthday. February all me thinking all about hearts,

red roses, romantic dinners and of course LOVE! :)

So let's see how many empties I managed to work my way through in this romantic month!

Let's make it easy and go from the largest packaging to the smallest...

Schick Intuition Pure Nourishment Razor w/ Coconut Milk & Almond Oil

I have said it before and I'll keep on saying it, this is the best razor out there in my opinion!

I have tried a gazillion different kinds and this is by far the most unique and kindest to my skin

which is prone to itching after shaving. I love that I can use this without having to dig around to

find shaving gel too! (Review!)

TRESemme' Platinum Strength Deep Conditioning Treatment

Pretty nice stuff. Has taken my ages to finally get through it. But that can be a good thing!

Would buy again once I am through with all the others I have to use first. :) (Review!)

Avon Naturals Milk & Honey Nourishing Body Lotion

You know how I love my body lotions and lather them all over my body on a daily basis. Well this

one was in one of my most favourite scents - Milk & Honey! I LOVE it! The scent wasn't overly

powerful though, which in this case I would have preferred. Some products need to tone down their

overpowering scents, but this kind of scent can never get too much for me. It is just so delicious!

Bioderma Atoderm PO Zinc Intense Hydration

I have mentioned this product previously in another article here where I talk about the benefits this

product can have if you suffer from super dry skin. My skin isn't prone to dryness, however this was

still nice to use. It came in my Blogstar prize pack a few years ago, so it needed to be finished up, so I

just used it anyway. Did a good job, I enjoyed it especially on my feet which do get the driest.

Coast To Coast Ultra Gentle Facial Polish w/ Wild Rosella & Oatmeal

I would classify this as quite a gentle exfoliant. Great for sensitive skin types. My skin is normal and

prone to breaking out every now and then and I was actually surprised at how well it kept the pesky

spots at bay. Lasted me ages and every now and then I would also use it to give my legs and feet a

gentle scrub. (Review!)

Dettol Soft On Skin Hand Wash in Vanilla & Coconut

Such an awesome household staple to have all over the house, especially with little ones running

around. I love these because this refill is used in an automatic battery operated dispenser which means

the no touch sensor senses when you hand is placed under it and squirts out just the right amount of

soap per wash, leaving little room for germs to spread! Also smells SO YUM!

Paleo Skincare Spearmint Tallow Bodywash

Received this sample in my recent Native Box which I have reviewed here. Make sure you check

that out for a mini demo so you can see how it works! :)

This brand is new to me and I did enjoy using this. The scent was nice and not too ott. It lathered up

pretty well and made me feel refreshed and smelling minty for the day!

Avon Shine On Shimmering Lip Gloss is Frost

I am sure that I am not the only one trying to down size their lip gloss/balm stash?

How do so many accumulate so quickly? I must have about 50 and have no clue how I am going to

get through them all in this life time, but hey I can try! Recently threw away a heap which felt so

relieving! Anyway - The gloss is so cute and shimmery, I really actually enjoyed it. Occasionally

doubled up using a tiny bit as a bit of a cheek high lighter.

Lancome Juicy Lip Gloss

Unfortunately this gloss seemed to separate in the tube. :( Half of the product was a beautiful grape

shade with a hint of shimmer throughout and the other was just clear, sticky goo. Was not impressed

considering this is probably one of the most expensive lip glosses I have ever invested in. I expect

LANCOME

~ LANCOME ~

NEW

Renergie Multi-Lift!

Having turned 31 at the very beginning of the year really nailed it into me just how fast

my 30's are already progressing and how long ago my 20's seemed!

Now, more than ever I am focused on my anti-ageing skincare regime and fighting the inevitable battle of getting older.

When products like this one come my way I get so excited as this would not normally be a product

within my budget to purchase for myself.

This product is a luxe treat and one I am treating like a little tub of pure gold,

because at the end of the day, I'd rather have flawless, perfect skin than a tub of gold any day!

Vein? Yep!

My bedroom decor has a few mirrored furniture pieces and the packaging of this fits in like family.

The silver box with it's gold signature rose accent is so gorgeous and lady like.

The beauty only continues as you open up the box and delve inside the violet casing.

The formula has a rich, pretty scent which reminds me of a well kept older woman. Dripping in

pearls and diamonds with her make-up perfectly applied. Every time I apply this ulta light, creamy

gel like cream I imagine I will be like that in my 60's, 70's and beyond. (Or however long I last

on this earth!) Still looking around 30 when I'm in my 70's?! Yes please!

At the moment though, my skin is behaving pretty well. It seems to have grown out it it's acne

fit and it is a lot less oily than it used to be. I would classify my skin as normal with a few fine lines

around my eyes when I smile as well as those deep worry lines across my forehead. Other than that,

my skin is okay.

Since using this Lancome NEW Renergie Multi-Lift Cream, I have noticed my skin to feel much

softer. The skin on my neck and chest area seem to be much smoother and less irritated. I seem

to get random red rashes in this area about once a day whenever I am stressed or anxious and

I feel like this cream has calmed it all down since applying this cream.

As for the multi-lift effect. The only place I feel like has had gravity take to it a tiny bit is my cheeks.

In some photos I can tell they're not as plump as they once were. After about a week of using this

cream twice daily, I can see, even without taking a picture, my skin has lifted ever so slightly!

I'm not sure how long the effect will last, but I am loving it! It makes so much difference to my

confidence, especially when I smile! So amazed as no other product I've used has ever achieved

this effect!

Overall a really lovely cream which I highly recommend. I don't see how anyone wouldn't

love using this and wouldn't love it!

Lancome's NEW Renergie Multi-Lift Cream can be purchased here!

Have you tried any Lancome products before?
