September Empties

I used up some goodies last month. Oh, yes I did :) These empties are far more effective at getting me to use up products than a project pan, that's for sure!

What did I get through?



 
 
 

 
 
 

 
 
 



Bed Head Epic Volume conditioner: I think I had this for about 2 years. It's a huge 1 litre bottle and took me forever to use. A nice light conditioner so it didn't drag down my hair, but had a very sweet berry smell to it (and I can't stand overly perfumed products) so I got over using it in the end, but I did use it all!

Parrs Thermal Mud hand and body lotion: A gift from my in-laws , brought back from New Zealand. A light moisturiser with a nice earthy smell. Only downside is that it left a brown residue on the skin if it wasn't rubbed in properly or too much was used.

Maybelline Express Care eye and lip makeup remover: VERY similar to the Nutrogena Oil-Free eye makeup (which I prefer!).

Napro Super Soft Colour Shine shampoo: Very soapy and 'slippery' feeling and it's for this reason that I ended up using it as a shaving cream/body wash/shampoo. So versatile!

PPS Original Lacquer Salon Strength hairspray: Made my hair stay in place without the 'crunchy' feeling.

Rexona Crystal Clear Aqua roll-on for women: Can I say this is my GH for anti-perspirants?! I've used others and I always go back to this one. Last time they were on special I bought 5 of them, lol!

Girlz Only dry shampoo: A $2 cheapy from Target and, yes, you do get what you paid for. Make sure you brush your hair thoroughly after applying as it leaves white patches!

Marc Daniels Moisture Milk: A leave-in treatment that does what it says...but you need to use ssooooo much of it! It even says that on the back of the tube!

Beauty Tip Eleven: Being Fashionably Chic!


Below I have three pieces of fashion advice I believe every woman should consider.

I used to wonder why I had such a hard time trying to be trendy. I've tried keeping up with trends but they soon become faux pas. It took the latest pastels and neons trend for me to realise that I don't need to try and keep up. I mean, what's wrong with being timeless and ladylike?

That's why when I saw the advice, below, from Cosmopolitan I had to share it because it is the absolute truth!!!
 
"Here's a fashion oxymoron: To be always in style, you've got to give up being trendy. As every truly chic woman has learnt, trends come and go; timeless stays."
 
 
Another piece of style advice that I read (but can't remember where) is:
 
"Dress for the job you want and not the job you have." 
 
 
And last, but not least some advice I read in a past Shop 'til You Drop magazine: 
 
"Only buy the pieces you really love!" 
 



What are your fashion tips??
