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?

FEBRUARY EMPTIES

~ February Empties! ~

Well wasn't that a short month?! I can't believe February is already over. I had forgotten

there was only 28 days this month! I had a questionable looking freakle removed from my

stomach on Friday, so needless to say I am more than happy to let this month go and move on!

I feel like I got through a lot of products this month. Probably more than I ever have,

so I am exciting to bin all of this stuff and start fresh for March and maybe pick up a few

newbies to reward my efforts. Cos that's just what I need.... more stuff!

It's a vicious cycle and a hard core addiction. No, I don't need help.

Much...

Full Size!

Garnier Anti-Ageing Brightening Toner

I have always had good experiences with Garnier products and I loved this one too.

Tightened my pores and removed excess makeup like a pro!

Garnier Fructis Anti-Frizz Smoothing Serum

This reminds me of my L'Oreal Extraordinary Oil as the formula is the same and they

both work brillantly. This is just a slightly more affordable option. I recommend it.
Review! (Buy!)

Pantene Pro-V Daily Moisture Renewal Shampoo

I liked this, as always it makes my hair feel nice and soft, smooth and moisturised.

I prefer a prettier packaged and more interesting smelling product when it comes

to shampoo though.
Review! (Buy!)

Pantene Pro-V All Day Smooth Light Weight Creme

This product detangles your hair. I didn't really need it, but it was light weight

and made my hair smell nice inbetween washes. (Buy!)

Pure Zone Foot Therapy Exfoliating Foot Scrub

This had a nice and light Tea Tree and Eucalyptus scent to it which was refreshing.

However the 'scrub' was pretty much non exsistent and didn't do a whole lot of scrubbing.

Vaseline Intensive Care Hand & Nail Lotion

My nails tend to split and get quite soft it I don't use some kind of nail hardening

product. This made them much stronger and my skin felt nourished when I used this.

Dove Nourishing Oil Care Nutri-Oil Serum

Much the same as the Garnier Fructis & L'Oreal Extraordinary Oil, this hair serum

combats frizz and makes hair appear shiny and sleek without weighing it down or making

it greasy. Really enjoyed this one as well. (Buy!)

Nailene Clear Top Coat

This was a great clear top coat. Nothing negative to say. Did the job so I would

happily re-purchase. (Buy!)

NP Set Black Mascara

Handy, easy to use mascara. A nice dark black shade with a fuss free wand which

coated my lashes with easy without clumping or drying out. Have used this to death! (Buy!)

Mitchum Pure Fresh Clinical Deodorant

Brilliant deodorant! This reminds me of my all time fav, the Rexona Clinical.

Both give 48hr protection and actually live up to their claims. Worth the exxey price tag!
Review! (Buy!)

Sample Tubes/Bottles!

Goldwell Kerasilk Shampoo & Conditioner

I often get bored using the same shampoo & conditioner every single time I wash my hair,

so I tend to use something different for each wash. This was a nice change and happy to get

rid of a few more sample bottles. This was nice and I would happily purchase full size.

Joico K-Pak Revitaluxe Treatment

Very luxe to use and I really did notice a difference in my hair straight away after

blow drying. A real hair treat! (Buy!)

Pantene Pro-V Daily Moisture Renewal Conditioner

I enjoyed using this along with the shampoo bottle, however I am looking forward to moving

on to another brand for a while.
Review! (Buy!)

Pantene Pro-V Aqua Light Conditioner

Nice, would purchase full size once I run out of the 123,758493 other bottles

of conditioner I currently own. Sheesh! (Buy!)

Nivea Men Clear Effect Gel Moisturiser

Stole this one off hubby who wasn't into using it. The scent was really strong

and manly, but I didn't mind it and the gel texture was fun. It did make my skin

feel a little tight afterwards so I found myself applying a facial moisturiser over the top.

MOR Body Butter in 'Lychee Flower'

Super stong scent, but oh so gorgeous! Beautiful body butter. Want MOR!
(Buy!)

Sample Sachets!

WEN Sweet Almond Mint Cleansing Conditioner

This was my first time using any kind of product from WEN. I received this in a recent

Bellabox and was looking forward to trying it as I've heard rave reviews about it and it is

quite expensive to buy full size. However I couldn't really get into it. It didn't lather which I

perfer when washing my hair. I'm just not into shampoo & conditioners combined.

Ayana Organics Baby Butter

This was a nice and very thick cream. Smelt lovely too.

Maybelline Better Skin Foundation

Already had this full size, but received this in a previous Bellabox.

Love it and use it regularly!
Review! (Buy!)

Natio Renew Line & Wrinkle Day Cream SPF 15

Loved this! I'm not sure how much it did for my lines and wrinkles as it is hard to tell

with a small sachet, however it smelt divine and I enjoyed using it. (Buy!)

Avon Advance Techniques Moroccan Argan Oil

Felt oily in my hands but didn't make my hair oily. I liked this and is the same

as any other hair oil already mentioned in this empties post.

Avon Advance Techniques Daily Shine Conditioner

Had to use this with more conditioner from another bottle as the sachet just didn't

contain enough for one hair wash. But seemed nice enough.

Avon ANEW Vitale Night Cream

I love using night creams, so this was a nice different one to try for a little

change. Would have to use long term to see results though.

Sanctum Hydrating Gel Mask

Use many facial masks this month. Or so it felt! I have been getting into the habit

of lathering one on and then bathing the kids whilst it sits there and dries.

I received this in one of my Beauty Native Boxes which I highly recommend

checking out for some more lovely products like this!

Eslor Firming Collagen Day Cream

Received a few of these samples in one of my Violet Boxes and am really

enjoying the brand.

Eslor Chlorophyll Lifting Mask

Another nice mask which made me feel nice and pampered.

My skin felt so smooth and fresh after this one!

Eslor Botanical Peeling Gel

This gel is actually an exfoliant which I found quite interesting.

I don't think I've ever used a gel the same as this one. An interesting product.

Again, hard to tell how beneficial it was though with just one sample.

Sukin Purifying Facial Masque

This one was probably my favourite. Sukin is one of my all time fav skin care

brands to date and their masques are worth a try!
Review! (Buy!)

Zk'in Certified Organic Line Smoothing Serum

I have been hearing a lot about this brand lately and was happy to receive a few samples

in my recent Bellabox. This serum was really nice and I am looking forward to using the

second one up!

Total Month's Empties!

My Current Tanning Routine! + Video Demo!

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.

2. Clearasil Vitamins & Extracts Daily Face Wash

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!
