Empties: March 2014 Part 1

So this happened last month. I meant to post an empties post midway through the month, but didn't get around to it so here I am. Two bags full of empty products! Overall a good thing, but that's a lot of product to write about so I've decided to make this a two-parter. Especially as I've I've also filled up a small box of makeup in addition to this that I am giving away to family and friends. I made a lot of space in my storage units the past month - which is right on trend as it is the time for spring cleaning!

Favourites: March 2014

Spring is finally here and I've been focusing on fresher scents, lighter colours and tempting a tad more of a bronzed and glowy face. I have quite a few goodies in this favourites post. Most of them are brand new, some just new to me - but they are all absolutely fantastic!

Review: Helena Rubinstein Lash Queen Sexy Blacks Mascara

Helena Rubinstein isn't a brand much talked about on the beauty blogs and youtube channels, but it is a fantastic brand none-the-less and one started by a rather inspirational lady. The line has some fantastic skin care offerings plus a very nice selection of gorgeous makeup. It's a high-quality brand across the board and it always strikes me as odd that I never hear anyone talking about any of the products. I guess I'll be taking the lead!

Review: Cire Trudon Abd El Kader Candle

Cire Trudon is one of the most luxurious candle creators there is. The French company was established as early as 1643 and is the oldest candle company in the world. They have a rich history, being the candle makers of many french royals such as Marie Antoinette and also emperor Napoleon. When Cire Trudon was finally available where I live I knew I had to try one of their famed candles for myself. After a bit of research and thorough sniffing I decided to try 'Abd El Kader' a few months ago and it completely changed my attitude towards scented candles - and I had a pretty favourable one already!

Review: Clarins Radiance-Plus Golden Glow Booster

Clarins is known for their self tanning products. Across the board their whole self-tanning line is high quality giving a natural, long lasting and evenly fading tan. It's a brand myself, and many others, have grown to trust to give that much desired healthy glow. Upon hearing the news of them releasing a new product into their little tanning "family" I knew it was something I had to try.

Review: Aesop Remove

Being an Aesop fan I will be the first to admit that part of the attraction comes from the beautiful aesthetics of the products and the stores. Whilst being continually impressed with the products I try, is the biggest encouragement to try even more, I'll be honest and say that the thought of having my bathroom decked out in countless Aesop "apothecary" bottles is also quite appealing. Therefore I decided to venture on and try their eye make-up remover as well.

Review: Caudalie Vinosource Moisturizing Sorbet

Following my success with Caudalie's now cult Vinosource S.O.S Thirst Quenching Serum I was excited to try some nicely sized samples of other products in the Vinosource range when I bought the Serum as part of a gift set a few months back. One of the items was the Vinosource Moisturizing Sorbet.

Review: Fushi Organic Rosehip Oil

If I had to pick one favourite find of all of 2013 it would have to be Rosehip Oil. I discovered it's wonders at the beginning of last year and never looked back. After seeing the wonders it did for my face I scoured down a version to use on my body; the Fushi Organic Rosehip Oil. I've since been through countless bottles.

14 Products I Want To Use Up in 2014 - Update #1

It's time for an update on how I'm doing with my 14 products I want to finish this year! I've actually gotten through 4 products already so I figured that was a nice mark for another post. I'm doing this throughout the whole year so as I've finished four products, I'll be adding four new ones in!

Review: Armani Belladonna Highlighting Palette

I have a weakness for highlighters. I'm obsessed already with healthy glowing skin, and so highlighters are often my best friend. When I first saw pictures of the beautiful Belladonna Highlighting Palette Armani was set to release as part of their 'Effeto Nudo Collection for Spring 2014' I knew I had to have it. My love for highlighters paired with my ongoing love affair with Armani makeup made this my "ultimate makeup product".
