NOVEMBER EMPTIES

~  November Empties  ~

Previous Months - January / February / March / April / May / June / July / August / September / October 

Velvet Moisturising Beauty Bar (Review!)

This had a nice classic clean scent which was lovely to use and lasted ages! Really affordable and

the whole family helped me use them up. Even the kids seemed to enjoy, so gentle enough for them.

Very moisturising and non drying to the skin as well. :) 

QV Gentle Shampoo

This was a great little sample tube which I used on both my 2 and 4 year olds hair. It had a mild scent

and foamed up well and was very soft feeling. I liked how shiny and smooth it made my kids hair. :)

Organyc Regular Tampons (Review!)

Not much to say here, great product, does the job and the kind which are better for the environment

get my tick of approval!

Sealicious Hand & Nail Cream

Received both this and the the Sealicious Foot Cream little sample pots in my gift bag from The Doll

Connection blogger event recently. This was my first time trying the brand and even though they 

were small amounts to try, I liked it after just a few applications.

Sealicious Foot Cream

This was one of those slightly minty foot creams which felt soothing on my skin. I really liked this 

and by morning my feet felt really soft and smooth!

Revlon Beyond Natural Lashes

I loved these lashes. They were slightly more bold than my usual choice, however still looked really

good, especially on camera where it's less noticeable. I would buy/wear these again!

Neutrogena Naturals Purifying Facial Cleanser (Buy!)

There are only a few facial cleansers which keep my skin looking clear and free from spots and this 

was one of them. Of course I have to use it twice daily which fits perfectly into my regular routine.

It didn't dry out my skin and kept it looking fresh as well.

Organic Care Summer Mint Body Wash (Review!)

This was a huuuuuge pump bottle which I actually picked up in a previous Beautorium. I have finally

finished it up! It sure took a good while, which I don't mind because it also made great bubbles in my

kids bath and the scent was very mild and the formula gentle on both my and my little ones skin. :)

How are your empties going coming toward the end of the year?

OCTOBER EMPTIES

~  October Empties! ~

January / February / March / April / May / June / July / August / September 

Wet Ones Be Fresh Original Antibacterial Hand & Body Wipes (Shop!)

These are awesome to have especially if you have grubby kids who somehow always seem to attract

a bucket load of germs. I have picked these up a few times during Beautyheaven's Beautorium and

with the much eagerly awaited event set to kick off again on the 23rd Nov, I cannot wait to pick up

a few new things to try!

Batiste Wild Dry Shampoo (Shop!)

Another great product thanks to Beautyheaven. This was one of the many products included in my 

Blogstar award winning prize box back in 2013. Finally finished it and highly recommend it. Also

gave it a little mention in one of my previous favourites. 

Vaseline Dry Skin Moisturiser

As you can probably tell by the packaging this is one oldie I am glad to finally finish. It was a good

product, but geez it took forever to use and the pump died some time ago which made the last few

weeks of it's life annoying me with having to dig around to find it a temporary lid. :/

Organic Care Soft Vanilla Shea Replenishing Hand Wash (Review!)

Another product picked up in the last Beautorium. A very family friendly handy product to have 

around. The smell is my favourite feature of this product. I am a complete sucker for Vanilla and this

is just so yummy and it makes your hands feels so smooth and moisturised!

Hello Kitty Bubblegum Perfume Body Mist (Shop!)

Who doesn't love Hello Kitty? This body mist is just too cute and smells very girlie and sweet.

This is nice to day time touch ups or for lazy days around the house when I'm not too concerned 

about the scent wearing away after a few hours.

Avon Clear Skin Blemish Clearing Foaming Cleanser

How many bottles am I up to with this product now? 5 or 6? I have mentioned this one before and

yep you guessed it, I am currently onto my next one and you will probably see it again next month.

This is so cheap only a few bucks and kills acne if you use it morning and night. Has worked amazing

for my skin!

Rimmel London Sexy Cuves Full Figure Mascara 

Had this for a bit too long. Was a bit dry when I first got it so after adding a few drops of warm water

to it to bring some life back into it, it's now time to say see ya later. Was an alright mascara. I love the

shiny red packaging. :)

Maybelline The Falsies Volume Express Mascara (Shop!)

Another mascara I have decided needs to meet the bin. Honestly, I am pretty happy with most

mascaras I have ever tried and most are fairly similar and this one just sits amongst the average.

Colgate Advanced Whitening Toothpaste 

Nothing special here either. We usually just purchase whatever is on special and I'm pretty sure this

one was. Sometimes I splash out on something more fancy and expensive, as does the hubby who

has terribly sensitive teeth. But this was just one to get the job done. Normal taste, minty & fresh.

Olay Regenerist Revitalising Hydration Cream Moisturiser (Shop!)

I have made my way through a few of these sample moisturisers and randomly found this one I 

didn't realise I still had. Used it up in about 3 days. I am crazy obsessed with moisturising so this

was an easy one to use up. Was nice, not crazy smell. Just a white cream that soaked in pretty well.

I liked it. :) (Review!)

Nars Sheer Glow Foundation in Medium2 (Shop!)

After hearing soooo much hype around this product I was super excited to try this sample! 

Nars is a luxury item to me and I only own one of their products, however after trying this, I really

want to own 2! Even though the consistency was really runny, this tiny sample lasted me about 4 or 5

applications!! It went such a long way and felt velvety smooth on my skin, was the perfect shade and

gave great coverage and made me look like a doll the the day! Love this!!! Want.Like.Now!

(Please Santa?)

Have you tried any of the above products?

NOVEMBER EMPTIES

~ NOVEMBER EMPTIES ~

OTHER MONTHLY EMPTIES FROM 2014!

 MARCH APRIL MAY JUNE JULY AUGUST SEPTEMBER OCTOBER

~  FULL SIZE! ~

Organic Care Vanilla Ylang Ylang Moisturising Body Wash
Loved this! Massive bottle which I shared with my kids. (Hubby wasn't a fan of the scent, but
he's a guy so pfft, what does he know! ;) ) Smells soooo yummy! Would buy again!

Dessert Treats Tropical Hula Body Lotion
Happy to finally be using up my Dessert Treats products I've had for forever!
This was ok, but I wouldn't want to use or purchase it again. Very, very sweet scented
and apparently you can taste it! Ew, no!

Aroma Body Essence Tea Tree Oil Walnut Shells Foot Scrub
This was too runny for my liking and not rough enough to do much scrubbing to my feet,
even though most would probably say it is quite course, I like to really give my feet a good
scrub, so I used this as a body scrub as well.


~ SAMPLES! ~

John Frieda Frizz-Ease Smooth Start Shampoo & Conditioner
I actually really did notice a difference after using these! My hair was a whole
lot less frizzy once left to dry naturally. Not many products can do that to my hair,
so props to this stuff!

Eminence Organic Skin Care Naseberry Body Lotion & Sweet Red Rose Whip Moisturiser
Loved these! Gorgeous and creamy! Smelt great too!

Pantene Pro-V Aqua Light Shampoo
I have a billion little bottles of these Pantene shampoo & conditioners!
They're ok, but I've used many other brands and products which feel much nicer.

Schwarzkoph Brilliance Colour-Shine Conditioner
I found this laying around my bathroom and assume it's left over from a hair dye job
some time ago! Thought I'd better use it up! It was pretty good too!

La Mav Hydra Calm Cleansing Creme & Bio VA5 Daily Wrinkle Smoothing Creme
Love the cute little sample pots these came in. I enjoyed the product as well. Felt
very luxurious and calming.

MOR Belladonna Body Butter
Very strong in scent, but gorgeous none the less!

EmerginC Scientific Organics Kombucha Cleanser & Phytocell Cream
Lovely products to use. Shame they're such small samples!

Eslor Soothing Refiner & Cleanser
Quite a nice product. Managed to get a few uses out of the sachet.

Vagisil Feminine Wipes
Yeah, so these make great wipes for cleaning up underneath my son's messy high chair
and other grubby messes left behind my 2 little terrors!


Ah! So this mess makes a little more room for the damage I've recently done
online and in store!

Make sure you are following this blog so you don't miss out on future posts featuring
some of my new additions + much more fun stuff!

JULY FAVOURITES

~ July Favourites ~

Clear Intense Hydration Shampoo & Conditioner

This also featured as a favourite of mine in my June Favourites last month,

and even though I've been juggling a few different shampoos and conditioners

this month, this one still remains a firm fav!

L'Oréal Paris Eyeshadow Palette in Northern Lights

I recently hauled this palette and haven't stopped using it ever since!

The shades are perfect to create a natural everyday look that is buildable

for also going out at night and the shades compliment my features really nicely.

Maybelline NY Superstay Better Skin Foundation in Light Beige

I've been trialing this for Beautyheaven recently and have been enjoying the results.

Goes on very smooth and looks and feels light whilst still providing a decent

amount of coverage. 

Stay tuned for a in depth dedicated review coming soon!

Puretopia Bioactive Solutions Gentle Exfoliating Face Scrub

I've only been using this for a short time, but I already feel like this is a

worthy fav! It is definitely one of my more luxurious scrubs. Feels

very pampering and does a brilliant job at gently removing dead skin

build up leaving my skin so smooth and soft!

Maybelline NY Baby Lips in Mango Pie

Another MNY fav would have to be my baby lips, in particular this month

the Mango flavour has taken my fancy most of all. Once you get past the vibrant

and bright coloured packaging which I love, the formula itself is sheer and smells

amazing! I love to apply this throughout the day when I'm home or out and about

with the kids as I'm constantly hugging and kissing them! With this I don't have to

worry about any sticky or coloured lip product transferring onto them.

Organic Care Ginger & Lemongrass Antibacterial Hand Wash

I recently trialed this for Beautyheaven and it has made me realize how much

I enjoy using liquid hand washes as opposed to block soaps.

I especially like the antibacterial aspect of this product as I'm currently

in the middle of toilet training my toddler and needless to say we have been

putting this to very good use!

Scunci Pin Twirls

These are such a versatile hair product and are perfect for holding hair in

place without the need for any elastics or bobby pins.

Check out my tutorial here!

Luminesce Cellular Rejuvenation Serum

Only in the past maybe two years or so have I discovered the power of 

facial serums. I only wish I'd known how much of a difference they actually

make to your skin earlier. This one I've been particularly impressed with

lately. I've been using this for quite a few months and the results are evident

in my skins overall appearance.

Skin B5 Skin Purifying Mask

I'd never used a Skin B5 product before I tried this which I received

late last year in my Blogstar prize pack. 

As my skin is naturally acne prone, unless I keep it in check with products such as

this, it goes ballistic! If I just want a quick pimple fix, I'll just dab a little bit of

this on the spot and leave it on as long as i can throughout the day or night

and it clears the area right up. It's brilliant! 

Love Candy!

JUNE FAVS

~ JUNE FAVOURITES ~

2014

L'Oreal Paris Nail Polish in White Gold

I picked this up from Priceline recently and omg, the colour is full on GLITTER!!!

No sparse spots or crappy clear application, this glitter goes on with a full completed coat

of white gold glitter with just ONE coat! Looks so beautiful, watch out for a NOTD post featuring 

this baby coming soon! :)

Bloom Black Liquid Eyeliner

I can't live without liquid eyeliner. So when I recently used up

all of my Rimmel one, I came back to this one which I had only used

a few times. I love this because the tip as you can see is nice and thin

which makes for a more controlled application. It hasn't dried out in the

slightest and I just love the packaging. Super cute!

Organic Care Vanilla Ylang Ylang Body Wash

Love this, it is so so yummy! The smell reminds me of a caramel/vanilla

fudge lolly or something similar. Such a massive bottle I sure hope I don't tire

of it too quickly! Lathers up so beautifully and feels so soft and smooth on my skin.

Clear Scalp & Hair Beauty Therapy Intense Hydration

Shampoo & Conditioner

No matter what I do or what products I use, my hair always tends to be dry and frankly

a pain in the ass. So I am always using moisturising products and products that promise

to d-frizz my hair. The fact that I heat iron the crap out of it on the hottest setting I can

possible get to probably doesn't help the situation, but that's just the way I roll. 

A hotter setting means I get the job done quicker and I don't have time to be standing

around straightening my hair for hours on end in a low setting just to make my hair a 

bit less dry. There are products like these below to fix me breaking all the rules of hair care!

VS Sassoon Curl Secret

Speaking of hot hair tools, I've been in love with my Curl Secret again lately.

For something a bit different than the regular boring straight hair I normally sport,

I've been trying to get that Victoria's Secret type of curl since my hair has become super

long lately. Out of all of my other curling tools, this is working the best to create the look

I'm going for. I might do a hair tutorial soon. Is that something you'd like to see? Let me know! :)

Watch My Curl Secret Demo Below!

Eve's Ready To Wear Moisturising Lipstick by Teeez

I love everything about this lipstick!

The colour is the perfect pink. Wearable to go with everything, everyday.

The packaging is beautiful rose gold and very funky in design.

I just can't get enough. Has become my go-to lip product!

Scunci Detangling Brush

I seem to have been into a lot of hair products this month.

This is great because, well, my hair is a pretty big part of my life and my overall

appearance. Being long, it needs a lot of work and to have great products to help me out

makes my life so much easier! This brush has made brushing a much more pleasant 

experience. It somehow manages to get all of my tangles loose without me having to

tug or pull at my hair. It does the job quickly and painlessly! My three year old has been

using the kids version of this and loves it too. They come in fun colours and I love that

I don't have to feel so guilty about brushing my hair when it's wet because these are designed

that you can actually do that without damaging your hair because of the way the bristles are

laid out on the brush head.

Love Candy!

Natures Organics

Vanilla Ylang Ylang Body Wash

With Organic Sunflower & Brazil Nut Butter

If you have been reading my blog, then you probably know how much

I've been loving Vanilla scents lately. I have never much a fan of it, even

when it seemed to be all the rage and it was the scent everybody had their

body sprays and even everybody seemed to only drink vanilla coke when I was growing up.

Now, however it just smells so good to me and I can't get enough!

This body wash smells very much vanilla, with the Brazil Nut Butter 

giving it an almost caramel tint. This is almost sickly sweet, so if

you're not big on scents that smell like lollies, steer clear of this one. The hubby

has already told me he doesn't like it, so I don't feel like many men would rush out to

buy this one. I however am loving it! 

I'm not sure if I can smell the Sunflower

Or the Ylang Ylang, and I'm pretty confident I cannot even pronounce it correctly! 

But, whatevs, this 725ml bottle is going to keep me going for months on end,

so don't expect to see this in an empties post anytime soon! ;)

Such an amazing bargain for such a large quantity without substituting on quality. 

I love that this company makes Australian made and owned products 

and that they're environmentally friendly and recyclable.

 I always try to recycle as much as possible, so this gets a big thumbs up for that! 

I will be keeping my eye out for this brand from now on as 

I am completely converted and can't wait to try more from this company. 

---

Antibacterial Lemongrass Ginger Hand Wash

With Organic Olive Oil & Lime

I was skeptical with this hand wash at first, just because I usually really hate

lemongrass and ginger scents. The olive oil and lime must tone it down a bit

because I actually didn't find it overpowering or strong smelling at all.

It smelt more like a menthol lolly more than anything. Not the butter ones,

but just those mentholy ones. 

An antibacterial soap is a must in our house as we 

have two young kids who get into everything and this helps to give me peace

of mind that they're at least staying somewhat clean if their hands are regularly 

washed with this throughout the day.

The formula foams up nicely and doesn't leave my skin dry at all. 

My hands look and feel fresh and clean and smelling crisp and slightly citrus. 

The pump style bottle makes the product disburse with ease

 and just the right amount of product comes out easily each time. 

Only one pump is needed per wash I found. 

My whole family have been using it and really like it,

 we even had visitors recently who also used it. :)

Will buy in the future and will look out for other scents as well. 

Watch my video review below!
