OCTOBER EMPTIES


~  October Empties! ~


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?)

JANUARY EMPTIES


~ JANUARY EMPTIES ~
2015!



Um excuse me January? Yes you! Where did you just go?!
It's February 1st already and I feel like my taking a concious effort to use stuff up to
clean some space is finally starting to pay off as I feel like I did good this past month! :)

I can't wait to throw away all this rubbish!
So let's get into it!

Washes & Scrubs!
Vagisil Feminine Wash
Vagina's naturally clean themselves, so I don't agree with this product's idea for the need
to balance the pH levels, 'down there'. However, as a regular body wash it smelt alright.

Sukin Foaming Face Cleanser
Loved this! Kept my moody skin clear from blemishes and didn't dry it out or irritate it.
Foamed up beautifully. Perfect cleanser!

Avon Clear Skin Invigorating Cleansing Cream Scrub
If you want a nice strong scrub, then this is it! My skin can handle it and seems
to benefit from it as I could feel a big difference in the smoothness of my skin after each use
because it just removed all of my dead skin on the surface of my face so easily.
Top stuff!

No Name Christmas Bubble Bath
Was gifted this at Christmas. Nice smell and made some decent bubbles!

Nivea Men Clear Effect Volcanic Mud Foam Face Wash (Sample)
Claimed this back off my man as he wasn't using it, so I took it upon myself to use it up.
Not a big fan though. It is heavily fragranced and does not foam up at all!
Leaves my skin feeling (literally!) squeeky clean which feels awful!

Moisturisers!
Dessert Treats Banana Split Body Frosting
Yuk, hated the smell of this and so happy to see it gone!

Trilogy Very Gentle Moisturising Cream
Super hydrating and the formula is a bit thick. Great night cream and used on my dry feet
and knees. Did a super job at softening my skin!

MOR Body Butter in Italian Blood Orange (Sample)
Wasn't all that keen on this scent. I prefer other MOR body butters over this one.
Formula is lovely though and just a tiny bit is very strong in terms of scent!

Olay Regenerist Eye Lifting Serum (Sample)
Was pretty happy with this cream. I have some crows feet and this seemed
to make them go away a little temperarily.

Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream (Sample)
I really enjoyed using this both day and night. Felt really nice on my skin!
Hopefully it has made me look more youthful. Can't really tell from a small sample pot.

Hair Stuff!
Garnier Olia After Colour Care Conditioner
One of the best conditioners I've ever used!
Would buy a box of dye just to use this. It's amazing and makes my hair feel and
look so shiny like a hair model's!

Paul Mitchell Moisture Mist
Sprayed this in my hair after washing and towel drying.
Not sure I noticed any difference...

Body Products!
OMG! I LOVE this toothpaste! Best tasting and love the grainy mint in it.
Yum, so good! Not so sure it does a whole lot in terms of whitening though, but what does
unless you get your teeth professionally whitened at the dentist?

So refeshing! Loved this scent and did a good job at keeping my smelling good all day.

Samples!
Care You Love Persian Rose Face Moisturiser
A nice product. No complaints. I wouldn't rule out purchasing this once I'm eventually low on
facial moisturiser! (Not anytime soon!)

x3 Vagisil Wipes
Featured these in my past few months of Empties! I swear, I think I've finally used them all!

x2 La Mav Wrinkle Smoothing Antioxidant Rich Nightly Repair Nectar
Full size, this is a super expensive product, so I doubt it would be within my budget to justify
purchasing. Hard to tell if my skin benefited from these two small vials. It felt super greasy on my
skin, however the scent was nice.

A'Kin Pure Radiance Rosehip Oil
This was quite runny and a bit of a mess to use out of a sachet. However I did actually
notice a difference in the appearance of the stretch marks on my stomach from my 2 pregnancies
after just one use! I lathered up my belly after showering and the next morning the marks had
faded. I was really surprised as nothing has worked so fast and well before!

A'Kin Rose & Geranium Pure Facial Creamy Cleanser & Toner
I really liked this and got about 3 uses out of the satchet. Smell, feel, result, everything was just
nice! Want to buy this now!

Planet Eve Exfoliator
Recieved this in my Beautorium order recently and managed to squeeze out 2 uses.
Very gentle for an exfoliant. Felt very moisturising which was nice.

Kenzo Amour Perfume Vial
Had forever, smelt ok. Not my favourite though.

Mariah Carey 'Forever' Perfume Vial
Found this in the bottom of a draw and used it up quickly!
Nice, would purchase this!

OLAY

~ OLAY ~

Regenerist
Advanced Anti-Ageing
Advanced Hydration Cream


Just in case you're one of the very few unfortunate ones who have yet to
discover PinchMe let me fill you in!

PinchMe is an Australian freebie/sample website which regularly shares
hundreds of samples with it's members.

I have been a member since it's very first sample release where I received
a sample size of my favourite shampoo & conditioner. 
Hello Hydrarion by Herbal Essences!

Ever since then it's safe to say I am officially addicted!

My latest steal is this cute little 14g sample size cream from Olay.
It is a beautiful rich, white cream which is lightly fragranced with 
what smells like light floral notes.

A pretty generous sized sample than you usually get from a more premium brand.


Are you a Pincher?
Have you found any good samples or freebies lately?

Love Candy!

My Current Skincare Routine - Face & Body!


1. Palmolive Body Butter in Luscious Mango
This is my second bottle of this and I absolutely love it!
It smells like mango ice cream and is just as creamy!
A very thick formula that leaves my skin smelling super yummy and feeling extra soft.

Also onto my second tube, this daily wash keeps
my skin clean and clear without drying it out.
It's also super creamy in texture and doubles as a mask, awesome!

3. Avon Foot Works Cracked Heel Relief Cream
This is a product I've been using for many years and
it never fails to deliver. I often forget about my feet
and this quickly gets them back to looking like new!

4. Olay Oil Minimizing Toner 
I received this in my Blogstar prize pack and this is a new
product for me. I've used a few Olay things before but never their toners.
I am quite enjoying this and will continue to use it and
probably purchase a replacement once it's run out.

5. Garnier Roll On For Eyes
This feels so good all around the eye area on the skin of course!
It feels cool and soothing, especially after a long day.
It is also wonderful at waking up tired and sleepy eyes.

6. Dove Foaming Makeup Remover 
Good old Dove! I have been using Dove products
for as long as I've been using, well products!
This is gentle yet effective!
Watch my video review of this Makeup Remover here!

7. Lanolips Herbal Treatment Body Oil
This product is fantastic for super dry skin
as well as skin with scaring or stretch marks.
After 2 kids, my stomach sure has seen better days,
now if never sees the light of day as I
wouldn't want to scar anyone who saw it...
ahah, yeah get it, 'scar.'
Ahem, anyho, it has done a remarkable job so far at
at least minimising the angry red lines. So I'm a happy chappy! :)

8. Vaseline Hand & Nail Lotion
An oldie but a goodie!
You can count on Vaseline when it comes to any of their
products. I've found this one to be my favourite.
Does the job well and I will continue to use this I think forever.

9. Neutrogena Pore Refining Exfoliating Cleanser 
Slowly getting through this product.
Lucky enough to trial this through Beautyheaven and
completely love it! My pores are one of my biggest pet peeves
and this has helped a great deal.
Watch my video review of this cleanser here!

10. Kora Organics Day & Night Creme
Just the smell of this product scream natural!
It is just divine and feels amazing on your skin.
I love this product so much! It is very pricey though,
I was lucky enough to nab it off OzSale for about half the price,
so I am trying to make it last.
Read my dedicated blog post review for this product here!

11. Nivea Pure & Natural Body Lotion
I have used quite a few of the products from this Pure & Natural range,
and absolutely can recommend them totally!
They just work and feel and smell great!
Watch my video on some of the products from the Pure & Natural range here!
