November Empties

I can't believe I am posting on my November empties. We'll soon be saying goodbye to 2015, which sounds crazy to me!
 A few products to say good bye to this month.


Hair Ritual Inspire Conditioner- This conditioner is designed for fine/limp hair, which definitely describes my hair. The range includes peptides in their formulation, providing anti-ageing benefits for the hair. It has a minty scent that smells great, too.
Repurchase? I don't need to replace this conditioner anytime soon, but I'd definitely buy again. I believe it is improving the damage I cause by bleaching my hair. It hasn't felt or looked so good in a long time.

Biore Self-heating 1 Minute mask- A deep cleansing face mask that works in 1 minute? I had to buy the 3 mask pack. Each foil packet contains enough product to apply liberally to the face. As soon as it touches the skin, it warms up, which feels pretty good, too. 
Repurchase? It worked well to deep cleanse, and so convenient with barely any time needed on the skin before washing off. I would consider buying again in the future. When my skin was oilier, I would have loved to use these on a regular basis.

Mon Ennui eye shadow sample in "Half Jack"- This eye shadow is a pretty green shade with gold shimmer. I really liked wearing it, and thought it suited my brown eyes. You can see me wearing it here.
Repurchase? As much as I enjoyed the sample, I don't feel that it's a colour I need.

NYX BB Cream- I love BB creams. I always have at least one in my collection.
Repurchase? This was a decent BB cream, but it didn't win me over like the Garnier version for combo/oily skin.


Ciencia8 Cleanse8- Well, this is the last of my Ciencia8 cleansers. Kind of sad to see them go, but alas I am onto something new which will be reviewed in the near future!
Repurchase? No. Great cleanser, but too expensive.

Skinn EnergEyes eye mask- This mask allows your eye area to have a little much needed pamper session of its own. Offering soothing hydration, it is so gentle. Cooling in the fridge just adds to the experience.
Repuchase? I would buy again.

Eternal Beauty Vitamin C Treatment Cream- This moisturiser contains a high 30% vitamin C content, which is an effective anti-ageing ingredient. Being in shea butter makes it very moisturising. It is quite thick, so only a small amount is needed for face and neck. A big plus is that it hasn't caused any break-outs.
Repurchase? I already have a back-up.

I would love to see your empties, too :)

    I need that eye mask! Especially for those days where I'm looking more run down than usual haha. Plus I've been dealing with dehydration and all, so that sounds like something I need to try! :)

    I love the sound of your hair conditioner. Fine/limp hair is unfortunately a fairly apt description of my hair too!

    You did well! Sounds like some great products. I have the Skinn eye mask and have to start using it, it's been collecting dust for over a year, or two! :s

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...
