February Empties

I really thought I would have finished more products in February, but I have some skincare items that seem never ending, sigh.

A couple of faves in my empties post this month. 

Sukin Natural Deodorant- This is the first natural deodorant that I have used. I found that it gave me decent protection and I liked the neutral, fresh scent.
Repurchase? I am using a different one at the moment, but would consider buying this Sukin one again when I am in need.

Mad For Keratin Hair Treatment- My daughter passed this treatment on to me because she doesn't use a hair mask. I only wash my hair once a week, so used this hair mask in place of a conditioner.
Repurchase? No, I wouldn't. I didn't dislike it, but for me it was no different to using a regular conditioner.

Swisse Hibiscus Anti-Aging Night Cream- This is a jar of rich moisturiser, which is the kind of night cream that I look for. It is budget friendly and does a decent job of hydrating my skin.
Repurchase? I am conflicted when it comes to Swisse skincare because I want to love it, but there's only a couple of items that I really like. If on sale, I would buy again, but I wasn't impressed enough to need this cream in my life.

Dove Silky Nourishing Body Cream- This body moisturiser is very hydrating, yet not too heavy on the skin. I use it at night after my shower and I love the light, fresh scent.
Repurchase? Yes, for sure! 

Skin79 Water Wrapping Sunscreen- This sunscreen is my favourite physical sunscreen. It is not heavy or greasy at all.
Repurchase? I have 2 others. I would continue buying, but I had an intolerance test done recently and results show that I have high levels of zinc, which of course is a main ingredient in sunscreen. So, I'm not quite sure what will be my next sunscreen.

Along with the nail polishes and the lipstick I am decluttering is the Veil Concealer that I was given to by a friend. It was way too light for me, plus applied patchy, so I wouldn't seek out a colour that suited me.

And that's my empties for another month!

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...
