We Were Raised By Wolves

December Empties / Products I've Used Up

Tuesday, 31 December 2013

What better way to round off the year than with an Empties post. Here are the last bunch of products that will be hitting the recycling bin for 2013.

A round up of the books I've read this month:-

When I heard that Ria and Tania were organising a Christmas beauty swap, I instantly knew that I wanted to join in. The swap was open to all bloggers, with the only caveat being that the products sent were to be 'green' i.e as natural as possible etc.

This has been the first Autumn/Winter where I've really gone all out and experimented with lots of different lip colours. I'm certainly not the bravest or most confident person though, so I wanted to do a post on the lip products which have helped to ease me out of my usually neutral- coloured comfort zone and into the more berry hued, darker pinks and red shades typically associated with this season.

I've spoken about Laura Mercier's collections before, so I was delighted when I was offered the chance to review some pieces from their White Magic Holiday Collection.

Back in October, I raved about my first ever Crazy Rumors Lip Balm (the Amaretto flavour, so damn yummy) and how much I loved it so. A few people were asking where you can buy these in the UK and I had to direct them to various online places as they're a US brand. But now Crazy Rumors have been launched in Holland and Barrett - hooray!

High-end Australian natural brand, Jurlique, have released a plethora of beautiful gifts for their Christmas range this year. Featuring festive red and gold packaging, they have something for everyone who loves luxury skincare and bodycare products.

One of the most popular 'green' gifts that I've seen featured on blogs and websites this year, has to be Nourish's Argan Beauty Collection. A three-piece selection of products with gold, frankincense and myrrh - well, it doesn't get more christmassy than that!

If you're on a budget this year or just need to find something small but festive for a stocking filler or Secret Santa, look no further than Liz Earle's Christmas Stars.

Love Me Beauty's December box contains another great mix of full-sized make-up products and deluxe, high-end skincare samples. As always, there were three different menus to choose from which you can view on their website, and I went for menu No. 1.

Have you ever wanted to try out something from Trilogy's skincare range, but didn't know where to start? I've been testing out three of their products for the past month which would be suitable for all skin types, including sensitive, to bring you an introduction to what Trilogy has to offer.

When the beauty box craze first happened in the UK, many consumers were left wondering when a dedicated make-up or nail polish box would be introduced. A very, very long time later and there's finally one available thanks to So Susan.

They say that the best things come in small packages and looking at NEOM's Organic Bath & Shower Indulgence Set, I'm certainly inclined to agree.

Every now and then, I spot a new make-up brand in a highstreet/drugstore shop that I can't believe I haven't come across before. One such instance of this revelation was when I discovered the B. range in Superdrug recently. The whole line is cruelty-free BUAV approved, and suitable for vegans and vegetarians.

One of the most popular brands in Boots again this year for Christmas gifts is Ted Baker. The new Treasured Orchid range is packed full of purse-friendly pampering treats and make-up sets galore, including this Holy Smoke! Candle Gift Set.

I've just got back from a weekend of pre-Christmas catch-ups with friends up North, and wanted to share a quick NOTD (or rather NOTW - weekend!).

Friday, 6 December 2013

When it comes to wet wipes, I have two rules. 1. Use them sparingly and try to stick to using them just for the three Fs (Flights, Festivals and Fannies - thank you Caroline Hirons!) and 2. Spend a bit more and purchase ones which are as natural as possible. I usually stick to Organyc but when these samples from Mendill dropped through my letterbox, I was intrigued to give them a go.

Natural brands are continuing to boom in Britain and show no signs of slowing down. Lyonsleaf is one such company run by a husband and wife team, whose handmade products are created on their own farm in the stunning Mendip Hills.

Liz Earle's make-up range launched to much fanfare last year and continues to go from strength to strength. I've mentioned and raved about a couple of their products such as the amazing Signature Foundation and Lash Definition Mascara in the past, so I was excited to get my hands on a few more pieces to try out.

Getting ready to fight the annual dry skin battle with Winter? Yon-Ka's Absolute Softness Clutch promises to rescue you (or your loved ones) from Jack Frost's icy grip this year.

November seemed to fly past in a blur, but there were a couple of new products that I discovered and immediately fell in love with.

Looking for a beauty gift for someone who loves ethical, natural/green companies made in the UK and enjoys baths? Conscious Skincare's luxurious Sweet Orange and Frangipani Bath Soak ticks all the right boxes.

Oh yes, another month is over with so it's Empties time once again! Here are my overall thoughts on these products, including which ones I'll be repurchasing again in the future.

A round up of the books I've read throughout November:-
