Empties - November 2015

IT'S A BIG ONE. It's been a long time since I did one of these - I've kept it as short as possible! As requested, the links to the products mentioned are now below the video here on the blog as well as on the YouTube page. Where the products are not readily available in the UK, I've linked to the US - they don't always ship, but I've tried to find ones that do where possible.

Empties June 2015

A week late but never mind! The full contents of the video are listed in the description box underneath the video. If you click on the 'watch on YouTube' in the bottom corner you'll find it underneath. :)

I'm not doing too badly using things up - one of my many missions this year! See you tomorrow!

Significant Empties

So it's time for me to cut open tubes and scrape out the contents before hitting the recycling bin.
Next video is on Sunday - thanks for watching.

Also - stay tuned to the end for my endearing chat with my son (not).

Empties January 2015

Ah relief! I can finally throw the empties I've been collecting the last couple of months in a big bin and crack on with everything else...

There's some old favourites in here - and some that you won't have seen on the blog before.

Hope you enjoy! Next Sunday is Newness for 2015 which includes a sneaky peek of this amongst other things...watch until the end of Empties for a sneaky peek.

Empties November 2014

Videos are back! Thank you for waiting. Been a tad busy but hopefully back on some sort of pattern now.

This is an empties video and the products featured are:

Jonathan Styling Creme - this has been on my channel before and is just gorgeous. Creamy, smelly (in the best way) and the perfect grooming/bun cream. 

$24.00 from jonathanproduct.com

pixi Flawless Beauty Primer - this has been on the blog before (here) and is my most-grabbed primer. Glowing, healthy, skin in a pump. Available on pixibeauty.com

(I Am) A Sex Goddess by Neotantric Fragrances - I swear they named this just for that moment when you are asked what you are wearing. Peach, pink pepper, tuberose, vanilla - made for me basically.
It has disappeared from everywhere in the UK except Amazon here.

Kate Somerville Nourish - again a blog and vlog repeat. Easily in my Top 5 favourite moisturisers of all time. Good for all skin types. Available on katesomerville.com

Sunday Riley Start Over - No surprises here - you've seen this before (repeatedly) on the blog. Suitable for all skin types and all eyes. Available on SundayRiley.com 

BioEffect EGF Eye Serum - Previously discussed on here as a major concern, I am currently converted. In short, the BioEffect EGF is plant-based - copied from human DNA not cloned directly from human cells like other EGFs.  Available on bioeffect.co.uk

Empties. Omorovicza Queen of Hungary Mist

Running out on New Year's Day, the first empty of 2014 is Omorovicza's beautiful Queen of Hungary Mist.

This is a beautiful hydrating spray that I use after exfoliating toning and underneath serum. It's also something that I keep a travel size of in my office to show to skin consult clients and to keep my face fresh and hydrated during the day. It's suitable for all skin types/conditions.

Inci:
Aqua (Hungarian Thermal Water), Glycerin, Polysorbate 20, Phenoxyethanol, Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract, Saccharomyces (Hungarian Thermal Water) Ferment Extract, Disodium EDTA, Ethylhexylglycerin, Mannitol, Malpighia Punicifolia (Acerola) Fruit Extract, Chlorella Vulgaris/Lupinus Albus Protein Ferment, Pectin, Rosa Damascena Flower Water, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Flower Water, Salvia Officinalis (Sage) Leaf Water, Phospholipids, Yeast Extract, Linalool, Geraniol, Citronellol.

Omorovicza QOHM is £46.00 for 100ml and the travel size is available in their various kits.

More info on Omorovicza can be found on www.omorovicza.co.uk
