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!

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
more from such a higher ended brand. 

And we're done! How are you going with your empties so far for 2016?

DECEMBER EMPTIES


~  December Empties  ~

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


Today I share with you my very last empties post for the year 2015!
Late as usual, so my January empties will most likely be up after this one. Video has already been
filmed & is up on my channel if you want to take a sneak peak before I post it here. :)
The past year was hands down the most productive and successful in terms of using up old products
and clearing out some much needed space in my bathroom!

Feeling good about that as I have begun the new year with a bang, continuing to focus on my
 de-cluttering and chipping away at it bit by bit not only in my bathroom but my whole house as
well. :)


FACE!


Real-U Cleanse Gentle Foaming Facial Wash
This brand seems to have been getting quite a bit of buzz over social media and with bloggers this
past year and with pretty good reason. My skin has always been acne prone. I am (finally) old enough
now to have my skincare routine down to a fine art and rarely ever break out anymore. However I
do still occasionally get the odd pimple yet when I used this daily over a period of a few months I
didn't get a single one!

Avon Clear Skin Blemish Clearing Foaming Cleanser
Another fantastic facial cleanser. As mentioned in many of my previous empties. This stuff is also
amazing for clearing acne fast!

HAIR!

Wella Pro Series Strong Hold Hairspray
I liked having a nice large bottle handy all the time. It lasted me ages and did a great job for
everyday hair styles.

Pantene Pro-V Colour Therapy Leave In Hair Moisturiser
This was a kinda old product which I was very happy to finally finish up before the end of the
year. Slowing getting through my hair moisturisers. I have no idea how I accumulated so many?

L’Oreal Paris Elnett Satin Hairspray
One of the best hair sprays I have ever tried. Holds my hair and curls/waves in place all day.
Doesn't have that overwhelming scent to it either which is super duper!


Garnier Ambre Solaire Self-Tanning Multi Position Spray
With it being Summer and with me being naturally very white, I have dug through my bathroom
cabinets and found a few tanning sprays and lotions etc. This one was probably one of the oldest in
my stash, so like always I used this one up first. It was pretty good, I liked that I could point it in any
direction or angle and it still sprayed the product out really easily which made it great to get in harder
to reach places like the backs of my legs. :)

Lanolips Lovely Lanolin Herbal Treatment Body Oil
Used this up by massaging it into my stretched out post baby belly. Liked this one and kept my skin
nice and hydrated and looking a bit less red.

Trefiel Lace Design Facial Mask
I posted an Instagram picture of myself wearing this a little while ago. It is a such a pretty mask.
Really hydrating and generously soaked in a clear serum. Super luxurious product.

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. :)

EMPTIES


~ August Empties! ~



What!? It's the end of August??
Somebody pinch me because I must be dreaming!
How can it feel like only yesterday I began this blog in January,
celebrated my 30th birthday & now I need to kick my butt into gear
& figure what on earth I'm going to do for my son's first birthday next month!
This year has whizzed by in what feels like 5 minutes!

In working through my abundance of endless crap which I love,
I've been sticking to my no spending rule as I continue the sloooow
process of de-cluttering my beauty stash.

Here is an overview of my hard work this past month!


So let's break it down...

Herbal Essences Honey I'm Strong Shampoo
Dove Firming Lotion
Pantene Daily Moisture Renewal Shampoo
Face of Australia Fully Loaded Black Mascara
Prestige LashMatrix Black Mascara x2
Wotnot Natural Organic Biodegradable Wipes 20pk



Total of 10 products used up, not a bad effort!
Let's see if I can top that next month...

Love Candy!

JUNE EMPTIES


~ JUNE EMPTIES ~

2014


Seems so strange to already be saying goodbye to half the year!
Is it just me, or do the months fly by faster and faster?

Anyhow, after doing these empties posts for a few months now,
I have finally restrained myself into keeping all of my empties until
the end of the month instead of taking a photo and then throwing them out
straight away so I can make a collective photo of everything all together.
I think it looks better this way because I can sit back and see how much
I've achieved in using up throughout the month and even though it doesn't
look like much, it really is a lot of work to work through all these!

Dove Face Care Toner
I've found using toners do a great job at removing any excess
makeup and making my pores close up tighter so I've really enjoyed using
this bottle up. Dove products are gentle on your skin too which is nice, so
no stinging like some toners tend to do.

Dove Beauty Cream Bar
I love using this soap both for hand washing and also handy to have in the
shower as well. Non drying and lashes up into a super soft foam.

Rimmel GlamEyes Liquid Eyeliner
My favourite kind of eyeliner.
Liquid, black and with a super fine application brush.
I'll be keeping the brush to use for nail art as it is perfect for drawing
small designs or applying small arty objects.

ModelCo Lashxtend Lengthening Mascara
Sad to see this one go. Makes my lashes twice as long!
Definitely a lengthening mascara. Keeps lashes thin but makes
it look like you have millions of them! Love the look it gives.

Amele Smooth Intimate Shave Sample
A clear gel, works nicely and smells good too.

Britney Spears RollerBall & Perfume Duo
Had this for far too long! Used up the gloss end centuries ago!
Noticed there was only a small amount left in the perfume roller ball,
so quickly finished it up this month.

Garnier Olia After Colour Care Conditioner
This came in my box of hair dye I used early in the month.
LOVE it! Made such a difference to how my hair felt and how
shiny and soft and sleek it looked.

Pure Zone Foot Therapy Foot Cream
Found this in the back of one of my bathroom draws and
thought it was the perfect time to use it up as I've been wearing socks
to bed and around the house lately with it getting so cold.
So this has helped the product really sink in and give my feet a little TLC.

Schick Hydro Silk Razor Refill Blade
I think I mention one of these in just about all of my empties posts.
Still love it.  I have a new razor I'm keep to crack open soon,
but I want to try to use all of my blades for this razor up first.
Watch my video review below! :)


So eight products plus one sample isn't too bad!
Hopefully I can beat that next month.
 I still have plenty to work through!


Love Candy!
