RECENT EMPTIES {JUNE 2019}

I don't seem to have too many empties of late, but here are a couple of products that
have been completely emptied and that's generally a good sign.


1.


The Living Proof Restore Mask Treatment was a product that I posted 
a review on, earlier this year, as part of my Sunday Sample series.
The generous jar size of continued to give me several more applications after I posted my thoughts and I was really disappointed when it came to an end.
Not a product that I would actively try and source overseas, but I would 
re-purchase on my next overseas trip, as I did like the way it made my hair feel.
However as I said in my review below I still can't comment on the
part about it making your hair stronger.

My next empty is the BAD Gal BANG Mascara (mini size) from benefit and 
as you can read in my detailed review below I absolutely love this product 
and its on my list to re-purchase, but this time it will be the full size.

That's one great thing about benefit, they have an extensive range of minis
that not only allow you to try before you invest in the the full size, but are also
 super handy for travel.
I also featured this mascara on my Top 5 Mascaras

This Caudalie Lip Conditioner finished fairly quickly, but I did vote it as one of my Top 3 Lip Balms, so its been continually used since December last year.
Thankfully I did buy 3, so I still have 2 back-ups.

As you can read in my full review below I highly rate this lip balm and if you would like to know which other two brands I highly rate and recommend then read my post below.

FRIDAY FOLLOW-UP {APRIL 2019}

Shock and Surprise 

here's another Friday Feedback post making this two for 2019.

I would really like to do these posts on a more regular basis, as it updates you on any previous product reviews that I've posted.

The updates may include "The Good, The Bad" and of course "The Ugly", as with continued use my opinions on some products can change for various reasons.

The Living Proof Restore Hair Mask Treatment  is one such product where 

I have done an almost 360 degree turn on. 

Having featured it in a Sunday Sample post, as it was a deluxe sample that I tried,

I continued to use for several more weeks after my initial review and with each use I have just fallen in love more and more with this mask, so much so its been added to my 

UK Shopping List.

The "jury is still out" with regards to the hair strengthening claim, but based on

the condition of my hair and the fact that I have been using a hair mask weekly and my hair doesn't feel overloaded with product... is a good sign.

One of my fairly recent product reviews was on the Maybelline Instant Anti Age Eraser 

and whilst I liked it, I couldn't see what all the hype was about, as in my opinion there were far better concealers out there.

My one concern was the sponge applicator that had to be clicked round to dispense

which seemed a "faff" but it really didn't bother me after a while.

Also the sponge applicator didn't crumble or become "gross", as I first anticipated.

Another cool feature of this concealers packaging, which you only see with continued use,  it appears that every drop is used, as you can see exactly how much is left in the glass bottle, as the sides are perfectly clean of the product.

I would love to see other brands adopt some of this packaging technology.

What I have also experienced with use, is that I'm going through this concealer fairly quickly.

With regards to performance it still settles into the lines under my eye area, but its become one of my "go to" concealers for my everyday barely there make-up look.

SUNDAY SAMPLE

Yet another delight that came from my Marks & Spencer beauty advent calendar 

was this generous 28ml size of 

Living Proof Restore Mask Treatment.

Living Proof isn't a haircare brand that I've tried anything from before and its also a

brand that we don't get in South Africa.

Living Proof hails from the USA and has a string of award winning hair products and this Restore Mask Treatment sounds perfect for my hair, as it's

"A deep conditioning mask treatment that repairs dry, damaged hair by nourishing strands, leaving hair visibly healthier, 20 times stronger, and shinier."

Due to its generous size I'm only going to post my review in a few weeks

as I really want to use several times before I give you my thoughts.

So pop back in the future to read whether it made my hair 

visibly healthier and 20 times stronger...
