December Empties | 2016

Considering the colossal amount of products I finished the past two months, December’s attempt is paltry at best!
December was a super busy month, without much pamper time and with a lot of new products opened I just didn’t have the chance to use up as many as I’d have liked to! January I probably won’t use up much in, considering I’m heading away during January, but the challenge is on for February – I want to finish 25 items!


Kerastase Resistance Masque Therapiste – I purchased this salon sized mask off of Catch of the Day because it was $80 and one from the salon less than half the size costs $50… I’ve repurchased it so that has to say something! I really enjoy this, especially in the ends of my hair where it needs a lot more love!
Olaplex Step Three – another therapeutic hair treatment, this has helped my hair so much with all the bleaching I’ve done to my hair and something I’ll consistently repurchase!
Soap and Glory Sugar Crush Body Butter – not a scent I’m a huge fan of, but I really like the Soap and Glory body butters and this one came in the set I got recently.
L’Occitane Dry Skin Hand Cream – received in a set last Christmas, I love these hand creams! Something I’ll eventually repurchase when I’m out of my overload of tubes.
Clinique Moisture Surge Overnight Mask – honestly didn’t notice this doing anything really at all!
Mac Pro Eye Makeup Remover – really enjoyed this little sample! Took off eye makeup really easily – something I’ll investigate the full price of and consider purchasing if it isn’t too bad!
Essano Rosehip Micellar Water  – this was a really good micellar water, really gentle on the skin. I’ve got a bunch of micellar waters to try but I’d consider buying this again!
Philosophy Purity Made Simple Face Wipes* – I didn’t want to love these. I didn’t think they were overwhelmingly good. Until I went back to my old holy grails, and now I’ve realised just how damn good these wipes are! They’re $18 for a full pack which absolutely kills me inside (I always buy my $9 Neutrogena ones on sale) but I just love them!


Kmart Makeup Remover Pads – another month, another two packets used up & more repurchased!
Clinique Take The Day Off Makeup Remover – honestly, I was disappointed by this – it didn’t do the best job, and the ones I’ve tried from Simple and Neutrogena kick its butt! Won’t be repurchasing.
Simple Kind to Skin Eye Makeup Remover – this I did absolutely love, felt so gentle on my eyes & removed everything, will definitely repurchase once I’m done with my final Neutrogena backup.
Biore Nose Pore Strips – used another two of these, the more extreme ones seem to be the only ones that do anything for my pores!
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Sheet Mask – loooove! Always a repurchase.
Derma E Soothing Eye Gel* – something I really did enjoy, I didn’t expect too much of it but placed into the fridge and used directly from there it was incredibly cooling and smoothing on my puffy undereye area!
LonVitalite 24k Gold & Collagen Eye Mask* – used right before Christmas, I love how cooling these feel & I noticed a slight difference in the appearance of the fine lines under my eyes – I’m a fan!

Not a whole lot used up this month! All skincare & haircare, no makeup!
