040: Empting out the empties

Part of my list was to try and use up my beauty products. And I tried real hard this last month and now, I have a few empties. These empties however, are the special ones, the ones I'm going to have to buy again because my hair/skin/body loved them.
Firstly, Bump Eraser Lotion. This cream is an absolute gem. For years I have been trying to find something that can actually make a difference with my stubborn ingrown hairs. Not only did they disappear but it also reduced the amount of hair actually growing. And, it's less than $15 if you know where to shop.So many wins!

Then, I finished my iron tablets. As someone with pretty low iron, I think this is a little achievement, because  I always forget to take them. My healthcare professional will be thrilled.

I was using Dr Lewinns Medic Oil Control Night Lotion when my skin was playing up real bad and after only a couple of weeks it cleared it right up, and helped with a little of the scarring the previous outbreaks left behind.

I've started to become aware of the things I put in and on my body, so housemate and I started looking into some organic alternatives to the usual products. I had used Organic Care before, but it wasn't until I did a little research did I find out that not only is it entirely organic, vegan friendly, sustainable and free from the nasties in most other products, it also smells amazing and costs around $4 a bottle. Naturally, I am in love.

In the same idea as the finding ethical and natural products I recently started to wear Nude By Nature and I love it. My skins loves it too. I only got the starter pack to begin with my am now needing to invest in full size portions.

And very sadly I just finished my favourite perfume. My sister game me Red Jeans by Versace two years ago, and it was the only perfume I took with me to England. I'm not going to throw the bottle out though, one wiff and it takes me to the other side of the world.

Although it is not many, I'm beginning to see some space in the back of my cabinet. Slowly getting there.
