With the end of each month comes the time when I spill out my empty products and share them all with you! Although it doesn't sound so glamorous, I think empty posts are a great time for me to share what I have used up, why I like it, or if I didn't get along with it, why I don't. There's a pretty event selection of haircare, skincare, and makeup this time around.

Another month has flown by already, so it is time to review all of the products I finished during the month of January. The bag in my bathroom that is purely dedicated to my empty products (it must look so strange to visitors) was getting rather full, also helped that I had a little bathroom clean out as well.

I own a lot of makeup brushes, anyone would say I have far too many for one face and I would agree, but I just can't help buying and trying new ones. There is one brand I am always faithful too and that is Real Techniques developed by Youtube/beauty powerhouses Sam + Nic Chapman. I have a lot of their sets and single brushes, and recently bought some of their stunning and totally luxe Bold Metals (see them here). I was in the need of a new Miracle Complexion Sponge, and came across this; the Ultimate Base Set.

September has been and gone in the blink of an eye (how is it already the 5th of Oct?!), so it's time for some monthly Most Loved - a look at products I found myself really enjoying during September.

If you were to ask me what brand of makeup brushes would I recommend, my answer will always be Real Techniques. There are so many makeup brushes out there, of course, M.A.C brushes are amazing, and those higher end makeup counters do some amazing brushes, but honestly I just don't have the moolah to drop $70 on a single brush. For quality and affordability, Real Techniques nail it with a great range, innovative brushes and unique designs. They recently bought out the Bold Metals range, which is more luxurious and expensive, and absolutely stunning.

I had been wanting to try out these brushes since their release and luckily nabbed this set on iHerb (where I buy all my Real Techniques from as it's the cheapest), which was dramatically reduced for the day to $35.00. So are they worth the hype?

As always the end of a month means it's time to talk empty products. These weren't all used up in a one month period but have been getting a lot of use over the past couple of months. I also did a bit of a thorough clean out of my makeup drawers, so have included a few of those items - a post about my clean up will be up soon, though! So into the empty product reviews.

It had been far too long since I did an iHerb order, and with a few rewards dollars stacking up, I decided it was about time to do another order. iHerb is such a great site - if you've never checked it out before I strongly suggest you do. It focuses on health and natural products, and you can get all sort of things on there, supplements, food and cosmetics for example. I'm a big fan of iHerb for their beauty section, with affordable brands like e.l.f., and great prices on Real Techniques products. This was a relatively smaller haul in comparison to some others I have done (just search iHerb to find them), but I restocked on some essentials and added some new things to try to my cart as well. 

I can't quite believe it, but it is actually May, which means we are almost halfway through the year. Ok, I might be getting ahead of myself here, but the time is going so quickly! With the end of the month always comes my monthly Empties, here you'll find all the products I finished up over the past four weeks and what I thought about them.

Happy Leap Day everyone! It is quite a novelty being able to post on a day that only comes around every 4 years! Today it's time to talk Empties - and boy, oh boy, do I have a whole load. And surprisingly quite a few makeup items, when usually it's mostly skincare.
