June’s Empties – And Favourites

How quickly I use up beauty products sometimes spooks me. I get to the mid-way point in any calendar month and think ‘oh, this month’s empties is going to be meagre’. But by the time I come to do the write it up my little carrier bag of empties is bulging!

And so to June. I used up 17 products last month, almost half (eight) skincare, five body, three hair and one makeup. 

My Top 10 Beauty Discoveries of 2014

With the year almost out and my blog soon to reach its first birthday, it seemed fitting that I should do a round-up of my top beauty discoveries of the past 12 months.

Honing down the list to just 10 was a struggle. I've been introduced to some truly fabulous brands and products this year. Some of these were new for 2014, others were discoveries rather than launches - products and brands that already existed but which had previously fallen below my radar.

Looking down at the list there's a lot skincare, but also bodycare and make-up. One glaring ommission is home devices! 2014 seemed short on these. Perhaps 2015 will be different? What's grabbed you this year? A particular new make-up launch, a skincare product that has delivered above and beyond, or something else entirely?
