Empties #56

Ending 2018, with yet another empties post! Let's dive right in!

Empties #45

I think it may be best to do empties post once in a while and to keep on top of it, rather than having to bore you all at one shot.

Empties #38 - Skincare Masks

There is a reason our parents tell us not to procrastinate and to just get it done.  The masks empties is not just the products featured (I wish) but click on to read about the masks I have been trying and which I like and recommend!

Empties #31

I have been away in the States for a month so this is a month's worth of empties. I did bring as many samples as I could to finish up.

Empties #18

I like how Fun Size Beauty includes her total number of empties, almost like a monthly and yearly tally, and I thought I would start doing it as well. However, it is already September so I shall just do a monthly tally and start the yearly count when we hit 2016!

Empties #12

This month's empties is so big that I am unable to do individual shots..

 I also had to put the items on the floor as some of them were in danger of leaking everywhere!

Empties #11

This is not even all of it.

My weekend away

Just as a quick introduction, I went away for a weekend where I needed to look professional and smart the whole weekend, so I packed accordingly!

First up is the skincare/haircare section.

Liberty Gift Bag with Purchase

 If you think this bag is unassuming, think again!

Aesop sage & cedar scalp treatment

I never used to be a fan of Aesop, solely on huge fact that the items were so expensive.

I knew friends who were big fans and avid lovers of the classic packaging and amazing product, but I did not love the fact that most things were in jars as I prefer my products to come in a pump or tube packaging in general.

One item has changed my entire perception of Aesop as a brand, and that is the Sage & Cedar Scalp Treatment.

I went to purchase this again for Malaysia because I wanted to save my other bottle for usage in the uk and I knew I loved this.

More specifically, my scalp loves this.

Liberty Haul #3

So Bob and I went to a makeover by Hourglass and inevitably ended up with things to purchase.
We did a combine purchase to use the £20 off when £100 spent, so here is my part of the things

Everything I have bought, okay I bought two items... LOL

One was from Hourglass and one was from Aesop.

I'll talk about the Aesop first, this is a recommendation from Bob for my terrible dry, itchy scalp.

It was £23 and so far I am liking it.

A little goes a long way with this and I really like how it smells.

The other item was from Hourglass.

Basically Bob and I went for a makeover and we got a goodybag each from buying an item.

This is the reason there are so many things in the post, when I actually only bought 2 items!

The second item, is this beautiful Ambient Lighting Powder

I ended up with the Ambient Lighting powder in Mood light, 

which Bianca, the beautiful lady doing our makeovers, put on my cheeks as a blusher and it as pretty much love at first glow.

This powder has a slight purple/lavender tone to it, which at first glance, can be a little scary

 but on the cheeks it just looks beautiful and subtle.
Here it is, swatched on my hand

 The two things in the goody bag was 1. the Immaculate Nude Foundation

I have a feeling this might be too dark for me but we shall see. 

It is a matte foundation and is targeted at oily skin

The next item is actually one which I went to ask a sample for!

The Hourglass Mineral Veil Primer

I have tried my small sample once, and I must say I liked it but have not used it enough to know if this is my Holy Grail primer.

I will admit that I am terrified that it will be because of the hefty price tag!

Some things which I really liked when I tried it at the Hourglass counter was the Brow pencil, as well as the ambient lighting powder in Dim Light.

The brush No 2 is also just crazy or it might be Bianca's amazing skills. Who knows.

Parcels, presents and gifts!

I was having one of those long work days where I came home tired and was starting to slightly cranky when I finally managed to pick up my parcels and there was 4 of them!

One box I was expecting from Ainaa and she promised belated birthday goodies and this is the first box I will be sharing!

Deep Cleansing Masks

So I have a few Deep cleansing masks and I thought I might talk about them and do a little comparison.

My brush with Aesop

A recent trip to Westfield White City and I was browsing in many stores including Kate Spade, Bobbi Brown, Kiehl's, MAC, Aesop and Longchamp.

In all honesty, whenever I am not dressed to the 9s with full face of make up, people do not tend to be as friendly.
I suppose the world is rather superficial after all.


However, the man at Aesop was extra friendly.
I wanted to try the handwash and asked about the Parsley Mask and he did a quick skin consultation and recommended another mask instead!
