January Empties

Well, it seems like this year is going to pass me by quickly again. Normally the school holidays drag towards the end, but not this year. I can't believe the kids are back at school already, although I can't complain about the quiet.
I sound like a broken record, but yet again, not a lot of finished products for the month of January.


Neutrogena Hydro Boost Sheet Mask- This sheet mask was an ok fit, the eye holes are a little smaller than I am used to, but I was still able to wear it. My skin was nicely hydrated after use, but nothing amazing.
Repurchase? Even if I loved this sheet mask, I don't think I would buy it again because I was not a fan of the fragrance, as it has a chemical kind of scent.

Simple Facial Toner- As the name suggests, this toner is a no-frills product. It may be basic, but it works well to remove any last impurities left after using cleanser.
Repurchase? I have a few back-ups because this product is a staple in my routine.

The Ordinary Glycolic Toner- This toner is a chemical exfoliator that is gentle enough to use daily, preferably in the pm.
Repurchase? Already sorted, I have a back-up because I love this product.

Niod Mastic Must- This is a deep cleansing mask that I bought way too long ago and only opened within the last 3 months, oops! 
Repurchase? This product worked ok, but nothing special, especially for the price-tag, you can probably guess that I won't be buying again.

As usual some products I am binning thanks to both of my lipstick and nail polish declutter series.


I am decluttering 2 eye shadow palettes. I haven't used them, but wasn't impressed with the way the shadows swatched, so saying goodbye.

And there's my empties for another month. Hopefully next month I'll have more to show because I have a few products running low.

Thanks for reading xx

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...
