Winter Empties Vol I

Ahoy my dear readers,

I have some of my winter empties to share with you this afternoon. I have been accumulating these empties for a month or so, now and I though that I would do this post and get rid of them before the new year in an "out with the old and in with the new" kind of effort.

Now, I have been keeping my empties in a little Kiehl's bag for no particular reason. Here is an overview...

Now, 90% of the products featured in this post will be sorely missed. A few, I have already re-purchased since they are my beauty staples and only one of them I was not too impressed by.
Let's start with the mascaras, shall we??

The Maybelline Collosal Go Extreme Volum' is by far my favourite drugstore mascara and it will always be in my collection.
The KIKO Volume Attraction mascara did not impress me. It is ok for a daytime mascara but all in all  I don't think I would re-purchase it. I am, however, intrigued by KIKO mascaras and I am planning on trying more in the future. 
I am moving on to a single product that has been a favourite of mine for a very long time. 


Batiste was the first dry shampoo I ever tried and it still one of my favourites. It is inexpensive and does the job incredibly well. :) 

Next(from left to right) we have:
1) The Body Shop Honey & Oat 3-IN-1 Scrub mask. I inherited this from a friend who had some issues with this. I liked it but didn't love it. It didn't do much for my skin which surprised me given how much I like the Body Shop Blue Corn mask. 
2) Vichy Anti-Perspirant is the best thing ever as far as under-arm care is concerned. It is the only antiperspirant I use. 
3) Origins GinZing moisturiser is AMAZING. It is the perfect day or night time moisturiser for dull-combination skin.It is the 3rd jar I finish and when I get the chance, I will re-purchase this product again.
4)Rituals Qi Serum. This is a minty cream used for stress relief and it is the bomb!!!!!!!!!!!!!I cannot wait to get my hands on it again. 



Last, but most certainly, not least I have 3 skincare products.
In the centre of the photo we have the infamous Tea Tree Water by Lush. It is a tonic water infused with tea tree. I purchase it normally, when my skin is going through a rough time. Lately, I have been getting the odd spot here and there and this toner has helped me battle these spots and keep my skin clean. 
On the left, I have a mini bottle of the Tarte Pure Maracuja Oil. This oil is good but not as good as the product on the left which is the Josie Maran Pure argan oil Light. I am looking forward to the day I will have this oil in my collection, again. 

I hope you all enjoyed this post and I look forward to reading your comments.
