December Empties

Well, I was hoping to finish 2014 with a bang, but I really didn't empty many products in the month of December. Let me show you.

Ciencia8 Collagen8- This is my second bottle that I have used. The serum is so moisturizing and feels incredible on. My skin seems to love it, since using has become baby soft and almost blemish free!
Repurchase? I am using my last Collagen8. I would buy again, but alas I can't justify spending so much on skincare :'(

 Haus of Gloi "Imp" perfume sample- I just love perfume samples, such a great way to test perfumes. I think you often need more than one use to determine if a perfume is for you or not. Haus of Gloi is a favourite among many indie perfume oil lovers.
Repurchase? No. Nice, but not a must have.

 Virus Insanity "Jasper" Eye Shadow- I finished a sample of this eye shadow, which lasted many uses. You can see me wearing it here.
Repurchase? Although "Jasper" is a colour I really like, I have others like it, so really don't need a full size.

 Ciencia8 Vitamin8- I'm always on the look out for a product that promises to rid my skin of pigmentation. Not many deliver results.
Repurchase? Once I got to the last drop of this light cream, I panicked a little. Why? Because I was seeing results!

I would love to buy again, but as with this range, I can't really afford it, when having to replace product every month.

Haus of Gloi "Litchi Milk"- Another sample perfume oil finished, I'm slowly getting through them!
Repurchase? No. Surprisingly, I didn't like this popular fragrance.

Select Clear Zinc Sunscreen- Using sunscreen is a staple in my skincare routine. I now opt for a zinc based sunscreen, rather than a chemical one.
Repurchase? This no frills sunscreen is one that initially I didn't like the feel of, because it is rather thick on my skin. But, in saying that, my skin didn't have a problem with the consistency at all. I have other sunscreen on hand, but would consider buying again in future.

Ophelia MakeUp Rounds- These cotton pads are from Aldi. Cheap and do the job.
Repurchase? Definitely!

FCUK Her- Hmmm, that reads a little rude doesn't it!! lol. Anyway, a cheap perfume that I have been using for some time. I also have some other perfumes from this funky brand. 
Repurchase? Liked the scent a lot, but wasn't upset that I had finished the bottle (which I hate the design of!) So, I don't feel the need to buy another.

 How did you go in the month of December? If you've published an empties blog post, please link it in the comments. I love reading these types of posts :)

    I love the Haus Litchi Milk lotion but don't know if I'd like it as a perfume either. I hate the design of that FCUK perfume too, I find it really hard to push down on

      After reading so many raves over Litchi Milk, I was surprised that it just wasn't for me. Thank goodness for samples! LOL. I know what you mean about trying to spray those FCUK perfume bottles, they can be such a pain. I wish they'd change them, because the fragrances are actually quite good :)

BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Deluxe Palette and Giveaway

Image
When BH Cosmetics released the original Carli Bybel palette I was tossing up whether I was going to purchase it or not. Sure, it was pretty with lovely neutral shades, but I was trying to cut down my eye shadow palette buying to only palettes that I really, really had to have and I wasn't convinced that was the case. When the Carli Bybel Deluxe version was released containing 15 shadows and 6 highlighters as opposed to the original which had 10 eye shadows and 3 highlighters, I had to have it. I went as far as pre-ordering the palette before it was even released. The sneak peek swatches had won me over! Taken from BH Cosmetics - "This palette features 11 original shades plus 10 chic new shadows and highlighters in buttery blendable formulas with staying power." The palette is a large square with magnet closure and complete with a cardboard sleeve. The palette is so pretty, I love the rose gold writing on the quilted pintuck background design. Opening the palet...

BYS Berries Palette

Image
I have bought from the brand BYS in the past, but I can't say I've actually sought out anything from them. Well, that was until I saw swatches popping up on my Instagram feed of the Berries palette.  It's a 12 pan palette and has a similar vibe going on to the much loved and raved about ABH Modern Renaissance palette. Of course, I do not own the pricier ABH palette, but I just had to have the Berries palette. Taken from BYS - "BYS Berries Eye Shadow Palette features an array of 12 expertly chosen, highly pigmented matte and metallic eye shadows. The 12 piece palette comes housed in a modern, embossed tin. featuring a mirror and 2 dual end applicators." The tin packaging of this palette is really cute, it reminds me of the Naked 2 and 3 palettes. It is a little bulky, but I like it. Let's take a peek inside Oh yes, I'm all about those warm orange and plum tones. There are 3 shimmery shades and the rest are matte. Here's the sw...

It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector

Image
I was once again sucked into buying some bargain products from Ozsale . Part of my order was 4 serums from the brand It's Skin. Being a Korean brand I really wanted to try some products. I couldn't find a lot of information about It's Skin online, but the Power 10 Formula range sounded pretty good. I really wanted to try them all at once, but to get an idea of how each serum performed I restrained myself by using one serum at a time. The first one I tried was the VC Effector. The serum is no longer available on Ozsale, but I found it for sale on Beauty Bay - "A clarity improving skin serum designed for all skin types. Enriched with a blend of naturally derived, active ingredients, the It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector worfs effectively to reduce the appearance of discolouration and dark spots. With a lightweight serum texture its quickly absorbed into the skin offering brightening and lightening effects, whilst simultaneously suppressing melanin prod...
