EMPTIES #1

Tuesday 19 November 2013


Yes this is my first attempt to show you that I have been a good girl and used up some of the products that I have been buying over the last months or so.
It does really feel good when you used up a whole bottle of  product, in my case making room for new purchases and putting my conscience at ease!
A notable repurchase form this round is the Alpha H Liquid Gold, which I have to say I was really sad to see empty. I love this stuff, each time I use it, I wake up the next morning with fresh and glowing skin. If my skin is suffering from breakouts I use this for one week straight and my skin becomes something else. People compliment me on my skin and ask me what I am using to give me that glow. I can not give this enough praise and if you haven't tried it yet I really urge you to. It can make all the difference in this kind of weather!

The next products that I have bought several times and keep coming back to is the Vichy Normaderm Moisturizer. This is my go to day moisturizer that I wear under my make up. It gives my skin lots of moisture without making it shiny or greasy and the salicylic acid contend helps keeping the breakouts at bay.

Another face product that I like to use in the morning is Neutrogena's Visable Clear Gentle Exfolianting Wash. Using this in the shower in the morning makes me feel refreshed and energised, ready to face the day. It is super gentle and leaves my skin smooth and soft without being too over drying or harsh!

On to hair next and here I have two products that I have enjoyed using. First up is Paul Mitchell Clarifing Shampoo. I only got the little 100ml bottle but this has lasted me for at least 3 month. This is not an every day shampoo, its an clarifying shampoo that you should only use once a week when you want to give your a rehab and bring it back to its glory. It leaves my hair super duper clean, removing all the dulling build up and impurities. Its a great shampoo and I really recommend it to you if you on a hunt for a good clarifying shampoo.

The other hair products that I am sad to see come to it end is Kerastase Cristalliste Conditioner. I bought this little shampoo and conditioner travel kit a while back (here) to try out some of the much raved about Kerastase products and the Cristalliste line stood really out to me. Its like made for my hair! A good hair day is almost guarantied when I use the shampoo and conditioner together. Both are really lightweight and make my hair look healthy and shiny.

Lastly I wanted to tell you about the Clinique Deep Comfort Body Butter. I am normally not so much into body care and creams but now that the weather has changed I have been looking after my body a bit more. Its mostly down to the fact that in Winter I like to take baths and to keep the relaxing experience going I like to follow up with a rich moisturizer. And the Clinique Body Butter is a real delight, it is mega thick and rich and make my skin feel so nice and soft, even until the next day.  

So here we have it, this moths empties. Its kind of weird for me keeping these old bottles but I love sharing with you what I have been using and showing of that I have been a good girl, using up all my products!!

  1. Yay well done on actually using your products ;) I love Kerastase shampoos and conditioners in general so it's always sad to see it's finished. Looking for a good body butter so might give the Clinique one a try.

  6. I always struggle with finishing products. I have a tube of Eight Hour Cream on my shelve for four years. You just don't use so much and it is so pricey...

  11. I haven't been wanting to try the Liquid Gold - I may have to take the plunge to sort out some breakouts I've been having.
