Recent Empties!


I haven't blogged my Empties in a really long time, so here are the finished products that I could find, and if I come across any more I'll either throw them out or put them in next month's lot if they are worth talking about. I'm trying to de-clutter the house, so it will be great to actually throw this lot out once I've blogged them! On another note, I have a Giveaway coming soon so keep an eye out for that!




Alpha-H Liquid Gold
Love love love this stuff and I already have another bottle on the go! I use it the night before a special occasion, because it really gives me a brighter, better-looking complexion. I will always re-purchase this, but I wait for various discounts or offers!
Re-purchase? Yes

TN Dickinson's Witch Hazel
This is another staple in my skincare routine and I love that it's so cheap, because I can always stock up, guilt-free! Having said that, I've just bought a Tea Tree Toner from The Body Shop on sale, so I'll be using that instead for a while. But then I will.....
Re-purchase? Yes

Australis Fresh & Flawless Pressed Powder
This got low then broke up, but luckily I had already bought a new one in the Priceline 40% Off Cosmetics sale. This time I went for Light Beige instead of Natural though, which matches my skin colour more. Love this powder!
Re-purchase? Already have!

Darphin Exquisage Beauty Revealing Cream
I got this as a sample with an order or possibly in a Mecca Beauty Loop Box (thanks for playing along, memory!) and I really love it! Great results, felt good, no reaction, just an all-round great product. However I have too many other creams like this to use up, so....
Re-purchase? No

Uriage Aqua PRECIS Eye Contour Care
I really love this eye gel and found it to quite effective. My routine was to use this before bed, and my holy grail La Prairie Skin Caviar Luxe Eye Lift Cream in the morning. I won this tube and by a strange coincidence simultaneously redeemed my BeautyHeaven points on the same thing in a Beautorium, so I.....
Re-purchase? Already have a back-up!

Wotnot Facial Wipes for Normal/Sensitive Skin*
If you read my What's In The March Good Green Box? post, you'll know that these were in the Good Green Box! It only contained five wipes, so they are gone, baby, gone. I loved the smell of these and how gentle they were. I'm pretty interchangeable with my wipes though, so I will probably grab something else next time.
Re-purchase? No

Paula's Choice Skin Balancing Super Antioxidant Concentrate Serum
This is a tiny little sample tube that weirdly took forever to use! It had a surprising firm jelly like consistency that sort of was squishy but held together. It soaked in easily enough though and I enjoyed using it. But again I have too many other similar products in my stash to use, so....
Re-purchase? No

Lush Lord Of Misrule Shower Cream
Or shower SCREAM if you go by the most amazing product typo I've ever seen! OMG, this was 50% off in the Boxing Day sale and I have taken forever and a day to use this up. It actually expired in January this year and there were little grainy bits in it. Despite transforming me into the Incredible Hulk's shower double, I will give this bright green cream a miss and concentrate on using up my shower gels instead.
Re-purchase? No

The Body Shop Pink Grapefruit Body Scrub-Gelee
I loved this scrub! The fragrance was amazing and the formula was spot on! I found it refreshing and fun to use and would look at getting it again in the future, but I have enough other scrubs in my stash to work my way through first.
Re-purchase? No

Mecca Beauty Loop Level 2 Box!




The Beauty Loop boxes are out! And thanks to my yet-to-be-blogged impressive Mecca Maxima haulage during my Melbourne trip, I've progressed from Level 1 to Level 2. Hooray! The boxes were compiled a little differently this time. The products included are all Mecca staff secret ballot winners from the Mecca Beauty Election 2016. Which if you ask me, is far more exciting than the Australian political election, despite the complete lack of anything even vaguely sausage-related. The in-store beauty experts voted for their most-loved beauty products, then four of their 'cult favourites, must-haves and new finds' have been included in each box.





The included card details all the winning products, then you can see how you went in terms of which four products you scored in your box. I've had a read of the card and am quite happy with what I got. Let's have a look!

~ Dr Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Ultra Gentle Daily Peel
~ By Terry Terrybly Densiliss Primer
~ Darphin Exquisage Beauty Cream
~ Urban Decay Seven Days of Shadows







I haven't tried anything from Darphin or By Terry, so I'm quite excited to give the beauty cream and primer a go. I'll probably test out the two step daily peel pads by Dr Dennis Gross on the weekend, when I have more time. The Urban Decay eyeshadow sampler box is pretty cute! Here's what's included:

~ Anti-Aging Eyeshadow Primer
~ Seven eyeshadow shades: Desperation, Flash, Mildew, Foxy, Cosmic Moondust, Solstice Moondust, Zodiac Moondust.



If you want to see what was in my last Beauty Loop Box, a Level 1, you can check out that post here.

I'm linking up to the Fabulous And Fun Life Monday Makeup Madness Linky Party!
