March monthly empties....

Another good month for empties!


Products I re-purchased: I had a back up of the Botanics eye make-up remover, I'm a big big fan of this stuff. I also had a back up of my deodorant and Vitamin E moisturiser like every month. I re-purchased my Rimmel tan too - this is just a night out staple to give my legs a bit of colour! I actually finished a foundation this month which I was thrilled with! And even though I've got quite a stash of foundations sitting in a draw, I went back to Bourjois and re-purchased healthy mix which is quite something considering I hated it when I first bought it!

Products I've changed: You might be able to see the tiny stub of a Mac Kohl eyeliner pencil in Smoulder on the right hand side of the pic...this is my fourth re-purchase of this and sadly my last. I've got a spare sat in my draw and I will use it up when the occasion suits but it's definitely no longer my favourite kohl pencil, it's been blown out of the water by the Soap and Glory pencil which I did a review on here. Also, as much as I loved the Witch primer, I've recently purchased the new Revlon photo ready primer which I'll be doing a review on soon and so far I'm loving. 

Finally the last thing of note is the Str-Vectin eye cream. This stuff is INCREDIBLE! I got it in a GlossyBox ages ago and literally can't praise it highly enough, apart from the hefty £45 price tag so unfortunatly have had to settle for a cheaper alternative. One day though, I'll definitely be re-buying this! 

Anyone else had a successful empties month?

February empties....


As every month, I've gone through my trusty tub of Vitamin E moisturiser, TWO deodorants (bit excessive?) and, this month, a lot of samples from various beauty boxes.

I repurchased: Natural bronze cocoa butter, moisturiser, mini hairspray, lip balm, shampoo, Sally Hansen nail strengthener (LOVE this product!)

I didn't like: The F.A.B body wash from an old GlossyBox, the Collection2000 radiance boost concealer.

I'm pleased to have used up: my 17 primer, so now I have an excuse to splash out on a high end one. Any recommendations?? The Rimmel bronzer - I feel like I've had this years!

January empties...

I'm super proud of myself this month!! I've got through a lot of hairspray this month, mainly just finishing off cans with a bit left in the bottom. I also finished off a perfume which I'm happy with, Beyonce Heat. I do love it but not sure I'd repurchase it as I've since found others I'm loving that little bit more. As I'm saving like a crazy woman for Australia, I'm using all the products I've got and only repurchasing where absolutely necessary. In January I bought:

Soap&Glory Flake Away - repurchase
Superdrug Vitamin E body moisturiser - repurchase
Botanics eye makeup remover - replacement for my Simple eye makeup remover (review to come)

Has anyone else had a successful month for using up products?

December empties....

I've seen a few people do similar posts to this and I thought it would be a good way to keep my spending under control, make sure I'm using the thing's I've got, and see what I chose to re purchase. These were my december empties, I focused on finishing up old mascara's, then there were a few essentials I finished like mouthwash and deodorant....all in all I think I did well for my first month!



Every month, for every five products I finish I'm allowing myself to buy another one (unless it's something I need to replace obviously....such as deodorant...)

Does anyone else give themselves this sort of rule?
