RECENT EMPTIES {AUGUST 2022}

 I'm long overdue a "Recent Empties" post and I have 4 products

today that I have completely finished, the one seems to have become 

an ongoing favourite, as  I have included previously in a Recent Empties post,

 but I have used up another, so all empties will keep on appearing

 as it will show you just how much I love a particular product.

AVÈNE 

EXTREMELY GENTLE CLEANSER

My favourite type of cleansing product is and always will be, a milk.

This particular product was part of an Avène press drop.

I originally reviewed this product back in 2016 and since then there

has been a re-package.

I really enjoy the simplicity, neutrality and efficiency of this milky 

cleanser and the addition of the pump dispenser makes life easier.

SKIN PROUD

ICYCLE COOLING 

EYE SERUM STICK

This product has become a very recent favourite of mine and I'm 

already onto my third stick, however it is only 10mls of product,

whereas most other eye products come in 15ml or 20ml sizes, hence 

why I have finished my original stick so quickly.

I just love the ease of using this product, the coolness it gives to

the skin around the eye and the convenience of using it several times

a day especially on the stay at home make-up free days.

BAUME DE ROSE

CRAYON

This is my original crayon that I have recently finished and I do have 

a back-up that I received in my 2021 BY TERRY

 Beauty calendar.

Being a huge fan of the the BY TERRY BAUME DE ROSE lip range

and having now tried all 3 format options, the pot would still be my

 first choice, I find it to be more luxurious in texture and more nourishing.

However if the crayon presentation appeals more to your lifestyle

 then it has to be the crayon.

AUGUSTINUS BADER

THE RICH CREAM

It was a sad day when I used the last precious drop of this totally

luxe and indulgent AUGUSTINUS BADER - THE RICH CREAM.

Both I and my skin are really missing using this product and I 

think it will need to go onto my overseas shopping list.

I won't say too much more, but I do recommend reading my full

review to find out more about this wonderful product

QUICKIE PRODUCT REVIEW {QPR} JANUARY 2022

 Considering it's only 3/4 months since I last posted a QPR

Quickie Product Review, I didn't have too many products that warranted

a Quickie Review, hence why I've only 1 product to include in todays post.

With hindsight I could have dedicated a full review to my 1st

product from this brand, as I've enjoyed it so much and I do have plans to 

try a couple more products and I will do full reviews of those.

1.

Brand : Skin Proud

Product : Icicle Cooling Eye Serum Stick

Price : R330

Size : 10g

I ordered this product online from Woolworths,

not knowing anything about the brand Skin Proud, but the name of

the product just spoke to me Icicle Cooling Eye Serum Stick 

it also helped that Woolworths were having a less 30% site wide

for Black Friday.

After doing some research the creator of Skin Proud is

 British Entrepreneur Charlotte Knight, who is also the person behind 

Ciate London and Lottie London.

  It's aimed at a younger demographic and Skin Proud believes in being transparent, cutting out the confusion, whilst being easy to use,

 100% vegan and clean products, with straight to the point ingredients.

The product packaging reminds me a little of Glossier.

 Featuring a five-part hyaluronic acid complex, this instantly cooling balm

 freshens and tightens, whilst helping to lock in hydration for healthy

 under eyes.

 The unique balm-like texture can be used on bare skin or added 

over make up for an instant pick me up when your eyes are feeling tired.

Now this product hasn't replaced any of my current eye treatments,

 but it's rather a welcome extra addition.

If you are a "first timer" with an eye product, then this is a great one.

I personally find it so easy to just pick up and apply

several times a day, as I adore the packaging, the swipe around the

eye application and its instantly cooling effect.

I have almost finished and I've now resorted to digging down

 into the container, which only goes to prove how much I have been loving it,

 and I will for sure be re-ordering.

Verdict : 9/10
