Beauty Empties: July 2017

Beauty Empties: July 2017

Toner Cosmetopia Digest   Tuesday, August 01, 2017

July has been a stressy month for me, with too much to do in my schedule. I'm hoping that August will be a lot more relaxed. It's also my Dad's birthday month; I got him a lovely set of gifts, only to misplace the lot, and I've turned my place upside down and cannot find the slightest peep of the package. Nor can I remember where I put it. So I've just bought a backup gift. The first box will turn up now, of course.
Be that as it may, it's time to show you the empties of the month.

Scroll down for a look at the beauty products I used up in July 2017, and for my mini reviews.

Beauty Products Emptied in May 2017

Toner Cosmetopia Digest   Wednesday, May 31, 2017

I'm due for Microneedling/Infini RF on Thursday and am understandably nervous after reading all about grid marks and months and months of downtime. A sudden onset of three new pimples has not helped. On the other hand, I read horror stories about subcision, and that wasn't a painful procedure, so I'm hoping this one will go as smoothly as well. Stay tuned for updates.
I've been "building up" my skin to withstand the aggressive procedure, with plenty of TLC. Here's what I used up.

Unboxing Cosmetopia Digest   Thursday, November 24, 2016

Feelunique Magic of Beauty Advent Calendar 2016 wows me in many ways. The amazing packaging. The size and type of products included. The low price-point. I call this a joint-winner of 2016's best beauty advent calendar list, along with LookFantastic's calendar, reviewed here.
Before I tell you about this year's Feelunique Advent Calendar, take a look at last year's offering from Feelunique here. This year, they've improved upon every aspect, from design to curation. Only the price remains the same at £30.

Skin care Cosmetopia Digest   Monday, October 31, 2016

Only a couple more beauty advent calendars left to show you for this season. This one contains a range of 12 products including makeup, and costs just £30. Yes, it ships worldwide. I also have Hallowe'en discount codes for you at the end of this email.
Last year, Feelunique brought out a beautiful 12 Days of Beauty Advent Calendar, which I unboxed and reviewed here. This year, Feelunique's advent calendar has been designed by fashion illustrator Meredith Wing (@moomooi). I had shown you an exclusive collection designed by @moomooi here. That the advent calendar is by her makes it more of a keepsake.

Beauty Routine Round-Up And Favourites: May 2016

Treatment Cosmetopia Digest   Wednesday, June 01, 2016

After spending the first quarter of 2016 recovering from a bad staph infection, I now have a full-fledged skincare routine in place, complete with gentle cleansing, acid, hydrating mist, serum, facial oil and moisturiser at night. While the core remains the same, I rotate a couple of products every few days. Over the last month, I have been documenting my nightly routine every few days on my Instagram, and here is what I have been using.

Tony Moly Cosmetopia Digest   Wednesday, February 03, 2016

For once, there is a makeup product among my empties. There is, as usual, much more skincare, but a lot of it was used in December rather than January. I am taking things slowly because of the staph outbreak and only use prescription products now but have been purging the harsher products from my cabinets and - hurrah - buying new skincare after careful examination of INCI lists and consultation with my derm. Will show you my haul posts once everything gets here.

LookFantastic's November 2015 beauty box arrived earlier than usual, before mid-month. Incidentally, my Advent Calendar has also arrived and it is GARGANTUAN, but that is for another post.
The November box is the second in LookFantastic's Christmas trilogy. All three boxes feature special snowflake designs. You can see last month's box here.
