Empties......

Hello Great People! Hope the day and 2023 is treating you well?

Am ok. Work is going good.

Another day, another empties post. Not been keeping up with them and need to make greater effort!

Lets' get started....

Anyone experiencing hair loss? My hand is raised and waving it loud and proud. My edges are gone. Believe me! Tried everything! Even gone to specialist salons. Nothing works. A friend introduced me to Essy naturals hair growth oil and it worked with her and should work for my edges.

Used this severally! I then decided to shave my head and keep my hair extremely short. Yes! This caused a stir when i got it done. Everyone also expected me to wear wigs but no! Wearing my hair the way it is loud and proud. People are used to it now.

Since then It has improved but not exponentially. She attributes it to this hair oil. I attribute it to no stress on my hair, air, daily scalp massages, ability to wash and condition daily. However, who knows, maybe this oil is working.

The oil is very light and not heavy on my hair nor does not make my scalp oily. Its is a really comfortable treatment that is great for daily use. It does keep my hair moisturised and hydrated as well. That dry crinkle you get when your hair is dry and dehydrated, never happens when I am using this.

Also trying to switch from the ordinary to good molecules. This has been going great. I think good molecules is a step above the ordinary. Not knocking the ordinary by any means but rather than give basic ingredients as products, good molecules does give basic products and treatments like their discolouration serum etc.

Niacinamide serum from good molecules has a thin cloudy consistency and this layers well on skin as well as with other products. Does not peel no matter the amount on my skin. This is comfortable to have on your face. I had no issues including allergic reaction to this product. No regrets here.

M green grass dry oil spray - This is still my fav dry oil spray. This is what I have on after evening showers. You don't want anything heavy on your body and this serves well. Also layers well on top of body serums. My one issue is the price. This goes for USD36 a bottle and I am just not going to pay that for a dry oil spray.

I get them on Boxycharm drop store for maximum USD9 and they also sometimes have this for 2 bottles for USD9. That is an acceptable price and stock up then.

Beauty pie wondergloss collagen lip oil - This is perfection. I love this so much. Started using lip oils rather than lip balms or lip masks a while ago. Don't get me wrong, still love my lip masks for the hydration and most brands of lip oils I have used has been blah!

This one is perfection. It survives eating, drinking, daily grind and its still on, lips are still moisturised after several hours. I used this mostly when I am working and don't want to be bothered.

Love it so much, got a replacement despite having other branded lip oils. My new one is already half gone. You are looking for a good lip oil, try this from Beauty pie. They also have several shades. Well done, beauty pie, well done!

Benefit pore minimising primer - This primer has got a bad rap. Seen negative reviews everywhere but that has not been my experience so let me give a positive one.

This truly matifies my face no matter how much oil I have on, this matifies my face. Makes my foundation go on soothly and stay on! When putting this on, its slightly tinted and no does not leave a white cast. It goes on and feels sort of slippery but not in a bad way. It grips onto your foundation and stays on.

I am not going to claim it has the longest longivity but worn for 8 hours and had to blot once in a humid climate (granted under an air conditioner most of the time) but this works. No regrets!

Good molecules pineapple exfoliating powder - Going to say Good Molecules brand is on par alongside the ordinary and Inkey list. This is also affiliated to Beautylish site and you can also buy their products from Beautylish that ships to most Countries.

I use the Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant Exfoliator or Tatcha's Rice Enzyme powder and this is a dupe for them. While Dermalogica cost USD64 and Tatcha's Rice Enzyme powder costs USD68. The good molecules product goes for USD16.

Personally found this has no pineapple scent. Its easy to use. Pour a teaspoon size amount into your palm, few drops of water, rub together, turns into paste and rub over face and rinse off. Easy.

This leaves my skin, soft, clear and glowing. Dullness be gone. I get the same results from the other 2 at a very high price. While I can say, I am used to the other 2 and find them just a tiny less harsh on my skin when I use the same amount, need to add a few more drops of water to good molecules to get that level of gentleness.

What I can solve with a few drops of water, is it worth getting the Tatcha or Dermalogica just to avoid adding 4 more drops of water? I think not!

Kosas The Big Clean Longwear Volumizing + Lash Care Mascara - OK! This is another product that has a terrible rap. Don't come at me because its a mini one! I have taken to buying mini mascaras if its an untried formula ok! You don' finish it, you throw it out after a while, so why get a full sized one?

That is my reasoning and I am sticking to it. The full size ones I am currently using are side eyeing me! Whatever!

Lol! Now onto the review....This did not clump on me. Made my lashes long, natural and soft looking. This made me really like my side profile. My lashes were elongated and full with this mascara. I really enjoyed it. Basically wore this everyday until it ran out. I would have replaced but testing out a few others and they would just have to make way for this. I loved it.

I also had no issues getting rid of it at the end of the day. Normal cleansing gets it off. Never had to do anything extra.

Murad replenishing multi acid peel - Don't use this! Honestly, there are some brands I just don't get along with. Murad and Elemis! Tried several products and they have just been mildly ok or just a heck no! This falls into the heck no category. This sells fo USD79. High price indeed!

You should use daily. After night time face wash, shake well or you get one of the liquid and not the other, so shaking is a must. Dispense onto cotton pad and sweep over face, neck and chest. Do not rinse afterwards. You can apply other products on top of it. By no means do I have sensitive skin but this HURT the first time I used it. That was enough to put it into the bin but you know me, I persisted. The goal of this is to exfoliate, renew, nourish and brighten.

Yeah no! This did nothing and I mean nothing! Other than hurt but that was only the 1st time, 2nd time, my skin tingled and afterwards, nothing. I used for about 2 weeks and it left my face oily. It was finished because my nephew liked the green colour of the package, got his hand on it and broke the bottle. Either way, please see a professional for a peel! Do not buy this. I did not either, got in a subscription box. Used and its a no from me!

Trying not to make this post too long so will continue on next post... Have a number of empties so will make more regular posts on this topic.

Hope you enjoyed my reviews. If there is any other product in the pic, I did not review but you want a review for it, let me know and I will put something up as an addition to the post.

Thanks guys, see you on the flip side!
