December Empties

It is December Empties time!

Let's see what I have for the final month of December!

MAKEUP


Glam Black Mascara

So this came in my beautybox and although it says black, it is really brown and it was so clumpy that the first time I tried it, I took a picture and then it was straight in the bin!
I am curious to try brown mascara but now think that I should just stick to black since my eyelashes are naturally black anyway!

What I took along to Lucerne, Switzerland

So I knew I was coming to Lucerne for a 2 week break, and I tried to bring as many products which I ca get away with, without overloading the suitcase.

I also brought a lot of disposables in the hopes of finishing up and chucking them (as well as perhaps adding to the "empties" post.

October Empties

Time for October Empties!

I feel that empties posts are really long, especially now that I am on a "make up ban"

The ban is going badly, as you can imagine, but I really have cut down on the hauls compared to earlier months, and I am definitely going to try and not shop in November because the Christmas sales will be starting soon and in December I do get a lot of double points and all because it is my birthday month!

Anyway, enough rambling, here is a sneak peek at SOME of the empties today!

Empties #5

I must admit. I really love empties posts.
There is almost some sort of glee in finishing up a product, be it a triumph or simply that I really did not like it and wanted to use something new.


HAIRCARE

Aveda Dry Remedy Hair Mask

The day this finished was a pretty sad day for me.
I really love this and this is the old formulation which has a heavier smell which I prefer, but the new formulation (I have the conditioner) is growing on me.
I really like how thick and nourishing this feels, and I use it at least twice a week but I alternate it with the Dry Remedy Conditioner and another hair mask - I have dry hair.
I will probably repurchase the new formulation of the hair mask!
