January Empties

I’m trying very hard to get through a lot of products, samples in particular which seem to keep accumulating. I can honestly say that I’ve not bought any new skin or haircare products this year, although I have been splurging on a few makeup items and clothing I really don’t see any need to purchase skin or haircare products anytime soon. While spending the week in Melbourne I’ve also realised how many of my products have accumulated at my boyfriend’s house so I might do a little bit of a swap with some of the products I brought with me to rotate my products around.

Kerastase Shampoo and Conditioner (samples) – These appeared in a previous Lust Have It! box and I’m not a huge fan of sample sachets, they’re difficult to open (especially in the shower) so I’m forcing myself to use them up.

Kerastase Ultima Elixir – I’ve discovered a holy grail hair product in this, super lightweight but leaves my hair soft and easy to manage, will be picking up a full size of this very soon.

Oh Lola by Marc Jacobs (sample) – This perfume was nice however it seemed to disappear on me which was disappointing.

Clinique and MD Formulations Anti Blemish Cream (sample) – These were great to have on hand if I had any spots that needed to be dealt with however they’re both just about empty and have been lurking around for a long time so I thought it was time to throw them out.

Guinot Hydrozone Corps Body lotion (sample) – received this as part of a Guinot prize I won on Tine’s Blog. A lovely product however there was only enough in here for a couple of uses so I can’t really form an extensive opinion of it.

Savi Australia Organic Body Cream in Wellbeing (sample) – The first thing to be used up from my POBM goody bags.

Kosmea Daily Facial Exfoliant – I purchased a whole bunch of travel sized Kosmea products from their website, I will definitely be getting a full size of this. It feels amazing and exfoliates while still being gentle.

Lancome Hypnose Doll Eyes Mascara (sample) – This is a great mascara but it smudges on me.

Prestige Liquid Eyeliner – This has been lurking around amongst my makeup collection for years and barely been used, I thought I’d best get rid of it.

Okoii Authentic Green Tea Purifying Toner - I love Okoii and this product especially however I have two full bottles of Witch Hazel an Origins toner to use up before I can even think about re-purchasing.

Collection 2000 Big Fake Lash Mascara - I was disappointed by this mascara, it’s good but not as good as I expected.

Face of Australia Impact-full Volumizing Mascara - Check out my full review for further information.

Dove Green Tea and Cucumber Roll-on Deodorant – Dove is my favourite brand for deodorant so I will continue to keep purchasing these.

Final Net Hairspray – This is a small sized can that I would keep in my crew bag for touching up through out the day, not a fantastic hairspray but it worked well enough.

Colgate Max White One – My favourite toothpaste at the moment, helps keep my braces from becoming too disgustingly food stained.

Dermaveen Revive Body Moisturiser – I purchased this whilst in Melbourne one weekend as I came out in a rash from a food allergy, I could only find this big huge sized tube so I’ve just been using it as a body lotion to get rid of it. I dislike the smell of this but it works well on rashes.

Priceline Round Cotton Pads – I think I said in a previous posts that I prefer to buy these to Swisspers because they’re cheaper, well I’ve changed my mind these seem to fall apart and disintegrate when taking of nail polish or using toner on my face. I’ve just gone back to buying cotton balls.
