November Empties

The year has just flown by and I can’t believe there is only one month to go, it’s hard to believe that at the start of the year I was still in Perth and I’ve since moved to Melbourne, started a new job and moved in with my boyfriend. So many changes but one thing that hasn’t changed is my love of beauty products and I’ve been using up a lot of products lately particularly since I’ve been going away on long trips for work it’s forced me to use up one product at a time rather than be chopping and changing different products nightly.

MooGoo Milk Shampoo and MooGoo Cream Conditioner (500ml) – Love these and find they work amazingly on my very sensitive and easily irritated scalp, I’ve already re-purchased and will continue to re-purchase.

*Dr Lewinn’s Bio Care Oil (100ml) – I was obsessed with this oil and would slather myself in it from head to toe, smells so lovely as well and made my skin feel so smooth and moisturised.

*Mary Kay Botanical Effects Cleanse (113g) – I really liked this cleanser as it is designed for Normal/Sensitive skin, it’s extremely gentle, had a lovely fresh, clean scent with a milky texture.

*Mor Hand Cream in Blood Orange (50ml) – This was one of the lovely products received while at Beauty Bloggers Utopia and while the packaging and fragrance were divine the cream itself did not work for me at all, particularly when I was flying it seemed to make my hands feel drier than ever so this product received the dubious honour of becoming my body lotion in order to use it all up.

Swisspers Organic Cotton Makeup Pads (80 pack) – I really liked these cotton pads particularly since they’re certified organic making them free of any chlorine or viscose making them alllergy and irritation free. Wanted to re-purchase them but couldn’t find them again!

Nivea Invisible Spray Deodorant – This was just for travel use only, I’m not a huge fan of Nivea deodorants as I’m not overly fond of the scent and they just don’t work for me.

*Clinique Turnaround Overnight Radiance Moisturiser (7ml) – This was inside the lovely Lust Have it! gift received during Beauty Bloggers Utopia, I found this quite a rich, moisturising cream perfect to wear at night however I was saddened to drop the little pot on my last trip while I was using it and spilled most of the contents everywhere so I never got to really use it up properly.

*Serenade Organic Restore Eye Cream (5ml) – I received this as part of POBM at the start of the year and was really blown away by the products. It is all certified organic as well as being locally made in the south west region of Western Australia.

*Roberto Cavalli Eau De Parfum (1.2ml Sample) – This also featured in the Lust Have it! gift received at BBU and I loved it so much that I had my boyfriend pick me up a full size bottle from duty free when he travelled to Singapore last month.

Palmolive Naturals Milk and Shea Butter Shower Milk (500ml) – Love this stuff as I find it doesn’t dry out my skin and it’s very affordable. Have already re-purchased in the Milk and Honey variation.

The Face Shop Collagen Mask – Collagen masks are my absolute favourite and I love how taut and glowing they leave my skin.

It’s My Beauty Diary Platinum and Pearl Lift and Stretch Mask – This one had a section that goes over your neck and I loved using it in my hotel room for a night of pampering after a long day of work.

L’Occitane Shine Mask (sample sachet) – This was given to me when I purchased a hand cream from L’Occitane and I have to say I loved it after only one use, my hair was left shiny and luscious – am seriously thinking about buying a full size of this.

L’Occitane Ultra Rich Face Cream (sample sachet) – Another gift from L’Occitane, can’t really comment on this since I only used it once and lately I have been using all different face creams without any dramas. Smells lovely though and I do like a lot of the L’Occitane Shea Butter range of products especially the hand cream.

So that’s my huge pile of empties this month, I really need to re-organise and clear out some products but I think I’ll make that a project for December so that I can start 2013 fresh, de-cluttered and organised.
