November Empties!!!


As far as I understand it, part of the ‘pan’ system is to use up a minimum of 5 products per month, but I also bought way more than 5 products, so I don’t think I quite got the hang of it yet… on the plus side, quite a bit of the 20-odd products were intended to be Christmas prezzies so I guess I’m kinda ok there…

Herbal essences conditioner – will buy again if on sale, which I did re this bottle at the supermarket. One thing I did learn from using this though, is that although my hair pretty much behaves the same whatever I use, there is a tiny noticeable difference when I use hair products that isn’t homebrand…

Green tea mouthwash was bought on a whim and seemed to have been like any other regular mouthwash – just with the taste of green tea.

Cotton pads – I use it all the time to remove my eye make-up, but I’m not too fussy about what brand it is

Batiste dry hair shampoo – this is pretty much the only brand of dry hair shampoo that I use. As I wash my hair every other day, it works pretty well in making my hair nice and fluffy and keeps it from getting too oily. It can make my hair kinda white, but it works out well once I run and rub my hands through my hair.

Candles – my 3rd of the lily and rose woolworths candle, which I will continue to buy when I’m desperate for candles and there are none on sale. The first of the glade candles in Hawaiian breeze, turns out I didn’t have too much trouble with it in feeling hungry and smells delicious, so will definitely buy again when on sale…

Don't knock the supermarket: Woolworth's homebrand concealer brush


The trouble with living in Australia for any girl who loves hair and beauty stuff is that it’s very expensive to get hold of – which is why I like to buy products during sales and from the supermarket homebrand department.

Woolworths (my local supermarket) sells this concealer brush for $5.99 which is about $1 less than most brushes from chemists. That being said…I LOVE it!

Mine has turned out to be the perfect brush for achieving the smoky eye look with my hooded, monolid Asian eyes. All I do is use the ‘edge’ of the brush to ‘line’ my top lid and the lower outer corner of my lower lid. I then use the ‘flat’ part to shade in the same shadow about 1/3 inwards from the outer corners along the top lid. A little mascara and I’m good to go!
