Video: Faves & Empties
These are my latest two offerings on YouTube. I've managed to stick to doing my monthly favourites every month so far this year! Yay achievement unlocked (almost). I've also managed to get together another lot of empties for a full length video, I hope these arent too few and far between. It's good finishing shit off!

Empties & Chuckers
I love empties posts! I unfortunately never finish things quick enough to do one every month but I want to start doing them more frequently, which means I need to remind myself to not chuck things in the bin before I blog.
I had a few empties and a few products that I just want to chuck because well let's face it, they're shit.
MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Light Medium - RRP $47.00AUD
I loved this product and i'll be keeping the packaging so I can hopefully do a Back 2 MAC sometime this year. The finish of this is just beautiful, it looks like your skin but flawless and it can be used either to set makeup or built up as its own foundation. I would repurchase but the price is kinda on the exxy side! Buy it Here!
De Lorenzo Nova Fusion Silver Shampoo - RRP $22.90AUD
This is absolutely my holy grail blonde shampoo, I have a few issues with it in the fact it can be quite drying but I mix it in with a moisturising shampoo to try and counteract that issue. The truth is that this is the best shampoo I have found for keeping my blonde hair in check and not looking yellow or dull. Definite repurchase, I'd actually better hurry up and buy it again. Buy It Here!
Aveeno Positively Radiant Moisturiser - RRP $19.95AUD
I purchased this after I ran out of the Aveeno Ultra Calming Moisturiser which I loved, I'm pretty sure I saw it on special. I do like this moisturiser but I don't love it. I think I'd stick to the Ultra Calming Moisturiser for my skin in the future. Buy It Here!
Covergirl Natureluxe Silk Foundation - RRP $18.95AUD
I have done a full review on this foundation on my old blog - Linky Link!
Love this! Would purchase it again and read the review to hear me gush about it. Buy It Here!
Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation Serum Gel - RRP $32.00AUD
This is one of my all time favourite foundations and I've mentioned it in many favourites blog posts, videos etc. This is raved about by many other bloggers as well. It's perfection for dry skin and just feels like a second skin. Would repurchase over and over again! Buy It Here!
Now to be a bad news bear and let you know about the products i'm not going to even bother with and will be going straight into the bin (or someone elses hands if I feel they could use it)
You, Me & Everybody - Shady Lady Daily Face Milk - RRP $8.99AUD
This product came in one of my beauty subscription boxes (sorry I can't recall which one). To be fair it's not a terrible product but I found it balled up on my skin and just didn't feel nice. I have other SPF products I can use so this will not be missed. The price is good but it just didn't work for me. Buy It Here!
Prestige Browliner Eyebrow Pencil - RRP $11.50AUD
One day while out shopping I wanted to buy a new eyebrow pencil and stumbled across this in a throw out bin in Target for around $2... I understand why it was in the throw out bin! There is absolutely no pigmentation on this pencil to get anything out you need to press real hard and I don't like doing that anywhere near my eyes. This is terrible! It's going straight in the bin. Buy It Here! (if you dare)

Empties... and Products that didn't work for me!
I've seen these posts on other blogs before and have always wanted to do something similar, I don't think I could do monthly as I don't seem to finish enough things each month to warrant it's own post. However I had a bathroom clean out the other day and found a few empties and also a couple of prodz that I've given up on that didn't work for me and are going into my beauty graveyard (bin)
1. Wella Brilliance Conditioner - RRP $24AUD *
LOVED this conditioner, it smells amazing and made my hair feel incredibly soft and manageable. The thing I love most is the smell actually lasts and my hair stays fresh for days! Repurchase? Yep, I would!
2. John Frieda Sheer Blonde Colour Renew Tone-Refreshing Shampoo RRP $17.99AUD
I need a good purple shampoo to keep my blonde from going brassy, I remember picking this one up at Priceline when there was a sale on John Frieda products since my usual go-to Blonde shampoo's are a bit on the pricier side. This isn't a deep purple shampoo the purple colour is quite light. Basically it does nothing for my blonde hair so it's headed to the beauty graveyard. Repurchase? Nope!
3. John Frieda Sheer Blonde Go Blonder Lightening Conditioner RRP $17.99AUD
I picked this one up the same time as the above, I also got the Shampoo in the Go Blonder range but i'm still using that. I saw Make Up By TiffanyD review this on her YouTube channel and she mentioned she used it in between salon colourings to keep her dark roots at bay, I thought if this works it'll be brilliant. So it didn't really help with my root situation it may have slightly lightened them (in conjunction with the shampoo) but it is actually a really nice conditioner! Repurchase? I would but haven't as yet
4. Lush It's Raining Men Shower Gel RRP $30.50AUD (500g)
Honey I Washed The Kids is one of my favourite scents you can get from Lush, this is the shower gel version! I am more of a fan of shower gels then soap so I was so happy when they released this last year for Valentines Day. I was even happier when I found out it was going to be a permanent part of the line (no more scrimping on using it!) Repurchase? NEED ANOTHER ONE NOW!
5. Dove Go Fresh Revive Nourishing Body Wash RRP $7.36AUD *
The bottle looks like it's been handled by The Hulk, this is the result of the boyfriend using my body wash! It's nicely scented with Pomegranate and Lemon Verbena and is moisturising on the skin. I like it! Repurchase? I bought the Nectarine & White Ginger one from the range
6. Neutrogena Deep Clean Cream Cleanser RRP $13.99AUD
This product has been a staple of mine since I was a teenager, it's refreshing on the skin and doesn't dry my skin out. It takes away the day and doesn't leave a trace of makeup Repurchase? I need to, I feel lost without one!
7. Nivea Invisible Black & White Clear Roll On RRP $3.79AUD *
It's a roll on deodorant, nothing too special about this one. It does its job and smells fine. Repurchase? Possibly if it was on sale or something
8. BioEffect EGF Serum Sample Bottles - RRP $180AUD (15mls) *
I've received 3 of these samples and used up 2. I actually really like this serum it made my skin look and feel amazing when I used it. What I don't like is the price! So expensive! Repurchase? Wayyyy out of my budget, so no
9. QV Face Rescue Gel - RRP $19.95AUD *
This product is for calming the skin, It couldn't have come at a better time when my skin was having major issues (due to a product i'll be mentioning in this post very soon). It helped calm and give it a bit of an extra moisture boost. I also used it as a skin reliever when the boyfriend had really bad sunburn a few weeks back. IT WAS SO GOOD! Repurchase? YES!
10. Garnier Youthful Radiance Multi-Action Night Cream - RRP $13.95AUD
For years Garnier have always been my go-to brand if I run out of night cream, i'll grab a Garnier one... I don't know why either? I managed to pick this one up for an absolute steal (around $5) and I really liked it, the scent is quite strong but it gave my skin a lovely overnight moisture boost! Repurchase? Yep!
11. Lapurete Resurrection Night Cream with Okuru - RRP $59.90AUD *
Sorry but no love at all for this product, it's meant to be natures botox but it just broke me out badly and made my skin completely dry and flakey for weeks on end. I had to go into a lot of damage control after using this product. Repurchase? No Way Jose
