Product Empties! 1st of 2016

It seems that I've reached a point in my life where my Dad has complained about the number of beauty product items I've got lying around the bathroom.

So to accommodate him - I mean, he's got a point ;) I've set myself upon a product use up / project pan for 2016.

Stuff that is not included in this plan is lip products (except to replace specific Lipstick colours and my addictive Soap and Glory Sexy Mother Pucker lip extreme gloss) and hair products (as I only buy more when they need replacing anyway).

To make sure I stick with the plan, I'm going to hold myself accountable through making videos so I'm documenting my progress.


My very first empties video features:




Products mentioned:
Batiste dry shampoo (floral)
QV Bath oil (small)
Body shop honey body scrub 250g
Yes to Coconuts body scrub 250g
Body Shop satsuma body butter (50g)
Manicare acetone and Vitamin E nail polish remover
Organix argan oil of morocco hair mask
Wipes:
Kleenex flushable
FemFresh
Currash unscented baby wipes (pack of 20)

What about you? Wanna share your project pans with me?

May Empties 2015 - Hair, Face and Body

Admittedly, there is a lot of pretty much the same stuff when it comes to Empties with me, as I like to use a lot of my products on rotation. Pretty much so that my hair and skin doesn't get too acclimatized to the product, which makes it stop being effective.

Biore Pore Strips Ultra X 3 - pretty much my holy-grail item for my nose as I have a lot of while sebaceous filaments and it's the only stuff that gets rid of them in groups at a time. Priceline $7-ish although I like to buy them from Chemist Warehouse for about $6-ish whenever I drop by

Batiste dry hair shampoo X 2 -As I have classic perma-straight Chinese person hair, this does leave a heavy layer of white powder whenever I spray it on. It's pretty easy to make less noticeable just by running my fingers through my hair. It also has the added benefit of making my hair look puffier! Priceline $10-ish


Body shop Coconut Cream Body Scrub (50ml) – got in a gift set at Body Shop, I like how it feels on my skin and is somewhat moisturizing so I will buy the full size when my honey scrub runs out.

Herbal Essences Naked (Sulphate free) shampoo - According to my friend Amy, this shampoo's claims of being sulphate free is actually move of a marketing gimmick as it foams up quite well in my hair when I use it; which indicates that it actually has sulphate in it. Otherwise l do enjoy how clean it makes my hair feel without making it squeaky clean, and feels like it does a better job than the Organics brand shampoo I buy at Woolworths. It is averagely priced at Chemist Warehouse at $5.99

Schwarzkopf Ultimate Oil Elixer - conditioning hair mask - Luckily l was able to sample this at $2.99 by finding it at Top Bargain because I'm not 100% sure how well my hair responds to hair masks, despite being recommended to use them more by the hairdresser-and occasionally to wash my hair with conditioner only. My hair did respond quite well to the mask by using it in place of my conditioner so l think that I may buy more tubs of this again.

Palmolive Naturals -Intensive Moisture Conditioner (for dry hair) (coconut cream & milk) – l also got this at Top Bargain for $3.99. I quite like most of Palmolive brand products - I pretty much grew up on using their body washes as my Mum kept buying them whenever they went grocery shopping. 1 like using this conditioner much more than the ones made by Organics, despite the price as my wire-like hair does feel a lot softer after using these (but obviously not as soft as when l use hair masks as conditioner). Usually about $7 per bottle.
