March 2013 Empties!

Hello lovelies! It's that time again, emptiessss!. I didn't think I'd have much to show this month but I was wrong, who knew?

Let's do this!

Body/Hair Care

Kiss My Face Whenever Shampoo - review here - I love this shampoo because of how well it lathers. It gives my hair and scalp a deep clean and removes oil treatments like a dream. I've already repurchased.

Sukin Nourishing Conditioner - review here - For the price, this conditioner is great. It hydrates and detangles my dry ends, it smells nice and doesn't weigh down my hair. It does contain phenoxyethanol, which I haven't read up on but everyone seems to be avoiding, however since conditioner doesn't go on my scalp, I'm fine with it. I would repurchase.

Sukin Botanical Protein Treatment - review here - I didn't actually finish this, there's just under half left, it expired in December. Ah well, it's still a great deep conditioner. It intensely nourishes and smells as delicious as all of the other Sukin products, faint vanilla and orange. I would repurchase.

Nourish Fresh Fig Deodorant - review here - I enjoyed using this when my underarms were feeling dry, but it didn't work for me in the BO department. With Spring/Summer arriving, I need something that's going to fight the heat and keep me fresh for as long as possible. As beautiful as this smells, I will not repurchase.

Bubs & Scrubs Coconut Milk Soap - review here - This soap was really nice. It's creamy, hydrating and has no scent whatsoever (which makes it perfect for babies and super sensitive skin types). I would love to try a different scent, but I don't think I'd repurchase this particular one.

Skin Care

Honey - no review - I've been mixing honey with my clay masks, on its own as a mask, and to wash my face in the morning. This organic and unpasteurised honey from Hockley Honey (Canadian) was really lovely. It didn't crystalize which made it super easy and nonabrasive to use. I will continue to use honey in my skin care regime, but am trying a different brand.

Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel Toner - review here - This is hands down my holy grail toner! It is gentle, smells slightly of cucumber, keeps my skin cleansed, refreshed, and soft. I've already repurchased.

Living Nature Vitalising Cleanser - no review -  I received this cleanser with my Saffron Rouge order and have been using it for the last week. There is still another use or two, but I figured I'd include it anyway. It doesn't really smell like anything, which is great, and it leaves my skin so super soft. My only issue is that it doesn't remove makeup. I zipped through it because I have to wash my face twice to get all of the makeup off and even then, there's still makeup on my cotton round. I think this would be a great cleanser for the AM or for those that don't wear makeup. I will not be purchasing the full size.

Dr. Hauschka Daily Face Care Kit - review here - I will not purchase any full sizes from this kit. It's all way too fragranced and didn't make my skin any better than it is. My mom did say that she would purchase the full size of the Rose Day Cream next winter.

Makeup

Fresh Sugar Rose Tinted Lip Balm - review here - This was a really nice lip balm. I love that it has SPF 15, it keeps my lips soft and adds a beautiful just bitten sheer wash of colour. I didn't enjoy the rose type taste that came with it and I'm pretty sure it's not as natural as they claim to be. I will not be purchasing the full size.

Origins Quick, Hide Concealer - review here - This concealer is a dream, almost. I love the colour, consistency, wear time and coverage of it. This is the second tube that I've gone through, and can't seem to find a better alternative. I'm sad that Origins is owned by Estee Lauder and that they're really not all that natural. I'm sad to say, that I have repurchased despite the negatives and saying that I wouldn't. I feel the pitchforks coming my way..eek. Concealer is a must have for me and this is the only one that works in covering my blue under eye veins. I am still open to suggestions and will keep hunting for another concealer.

Cheeky Cosmetics Lipstick in Ambrosia - review here - I didn't finish this because I didn't like it, so it's being tossed. The colour itself is beautiful, but the frosted finish doesn't work for me. It's moisturizing and wears well, if you like a frosted finish then it's worth trying. I will not purchase the full size.

Cheeky Cosmetics Lip Gloss in Siren - review here - This gloss applied really nice with a brush and gave my lips a slightly red tint. It's moisturizing and smells like mint, but it doesn't wear very long. I wasn't completely in love with the colour and therefore I wouldn't purchase the full size.

The All Natural Face Diva Stix in Fawn - review here - I have decided to throw this out because it's not usable. It's way too waxy and I feel like I'm fighting for some colour to show up on my hand. Also, it's starting to fall apart (see picture below), not sure if that's normal or not but I don't have the patience to deal with it. I have this pencil in Milk, and it's so much better. I will not purchase it again.

Random

Last is this random product, Yogi Green Tea Kombucha. I actually went through all of the boxes from my tea collection + a box ofYogi Green Tea Goji Berry + this box of Green Tea Kombucha. I love tea, I drink it daily, it's delicious. I think this has replaced my love for the Goji Berry one, maybe because I went through 4 boxes and am now sick of it lol. I've never tried pure Kombucha or anything else with it in it, so I can't even compare the taste. This tea is ever so slightly sweet and goes down smoothly. I would repurchase, however, I've found a new brand that I love and they were mentioned in my haul this month. Pukka teas are absolutely beautiful. I will do an updated tea collection soon.

What did you finish up this month?
