RECENT EMPTIES {JANUARY 2023}

 It always feels good to start the year off with a bit of a beauty

 clear out, so I've rounded up some up my empty bottles etc. first

and here are my "Recent Empties".

L-R

MAYBELLINE 

LASH SENSATIONAL SKY HIGH

 MASCARA

Due to this being my daily "go to" mascara, since I bought it back 

in October, its now come to an end and another

purchase will be on the cards very soon, once I have finished

off some other mascaras.

L'OCCITANE

BI-PHASIC EYES & LIP 

MAKE-UP REMOVER

I really enjoyed this product, but unfortunately, for me, at full price it

for 100mls it just doesn't work out to be very cost effective at the rate

 I go through this type of product.

If you are wanting to know...

Are there others, just as effective, that are cheaper and that also

 come in a larger size? 

YES... 

there are and I have reviewed many here on my blog so

LAURA MERCIER

HYDRATING

LIP BALM

I really enjoyed this lip balm, it glides on beautifully, nourishes 

and looks good worn either on it's own or

under/over a lip colour.

Would I buy it again, sadly NO, but that's only due to the fact that

I love to try new lip balms all the time and there are so many still

for me to experience, so a revisit in the future maybe.

The following empties are all fragrances and in fact are my

current "faves" and have been for 4-5 years now.

These have all appeared on my Recent Empties several posts before

and they have all literally finished within a couple of weeks of each other,

which isn't good for the budget.

I have replaced all with the exception of the Clean Reserve Citron Fig,

as I think this will now be an overseas purchase due to skins Cosmetics

not stocking it anymore.

Here are the links to all of my original reviews

Jo Malone Earl Grey & Cucumber

Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt

Clean Reserve Citron Fig

~~~~~~

The 2 products below have appeared previously on my recent empties 

and thankfully I did have back-ups of both the MAVADRY spray and the 

BY TERRY CC Serum and that's because I really don't want to be caught

 without them, as they are favourites of mine and have been

for some years now.

MAVALA MAVADRY SPRAY #TBT REVIEW

I am so glad to have discovered this Quick Dry nail spray and

I have been using now for nearly 2 years and its become

a "must have" for me and for anyone who paints their own nails

like me...

~~~~~~

I'm not generally known for my short product reviews, but I do
think this is my shortest review to date, as the bottom line with a review

on a nail "Quick Dry" spray, 

IS

"does it dry the nails quickly"?

Believe it or not we don't seem to have much choice, here in South Africa,

 when it comes to nail quick dry products, especially in a spray format.

After much searching I discovered that MAVALA the Swiss nail experts

had exactly what I was looking for in the form of the

 MAVALA 

MAVADRY SPRAY

I managed to find this product at my local Dischem and couldn't

wait to put it to the test.

You very rarely see my finger nails naked and I've used nail polish

for way longer than I truly care to remember.

Over that time I have lost count of how many times I have smudged

my freshly painted nails either on the bedlinen or on my bedside lamp

as I go to turn it off at night.( I have always painted my nails in bed at night)

I was in desperate need of a quick dry type product in a spray form as 

opposed to a paint on application and the MAVALA offering seemed to be

my only option.

(If you have any other recommendations in SA then please leave me

a comment below, so I can review)

MAVADRY SPRAY claims to dry nail polish in seconds (touch-dry), 

prevent chipping and make your manicure more brilliant.

Bottom Line, it works, my nails were touch dry after a couple of sprays, 

I can't say it prevented chipping, but it did give my home paint job a

more professional looking, lustrous finish.

Note: Does not contain any gas that depletes the ozone layer.

For me this product is now a "Must Have" and I don't know how I

have persevered for so long without it.

Sadly it doesn't come cheap, I suppose I can only give you feedback

on cost per use, once the can is finished and that will determine wether its 

brought out for emergency quick dry's of not, but for now I can highly 

recommend especially if you don't have the time or the patience to literally

hang around waiting for paint to dry...
