Insta-Updates: April Empties

May 2, 2012 Paris B 19 Comments

I always see these monthly “Empties” posts all around the interweb, but never thought to post any, simply because I don’t usually manage to finish up anything in a month. Yeah, I’m one of “those people” 😛 But I was clearing out my bathroom and dresser over the May Day holiday and discovered some empties, so here we are! Not quite April nor May Empties but enough for a quick update 😀

Some products I finished up in April :-

  • Toothpaste! Squeezed out the very last bit because I forgot I had no more left in the house 😛
  • Pantene Aqua Light shampoo – the conditioner was finished a long time ago and the shampoo was upended for a while before I resigned myself to the fact there was no more. Last drop was used up.
  • Ah Yuan Swertia Shampoo – After I finished up the Pantene one, I finished up the balance of the Ah Yuan one. Turns out, I quite like the Ah Yuan shampoo now! Might buy a new bottle.
  • Lucas Papaw Ointment – Nightly lip treatment
  • Eucerin PH5 Body wash – Peely sensitive skin begone!
  • Dior Skinflash Radiance Booster pen – cheated a bit. I finished this a while ago and am now only tossing it out. Feeling sentimental because I haven’t replenished 😛

Finished anything lately?

    OOOO I didn’t know Yuan is available in Malaysia! I like their soap, but I don’t experiment so much with hair products because my hair is rather fussy! I like Eucerin lotions but haven’t tried their body wash. With the amount of body wash I have in stock, I don’t think I’ll purchase it anytime soon either :p

      Yup! Ah Yuan has a decent range sold here. I like their soaps too and their shampoo isn’t bad. It takes a bit of getting used to because it doesn’t lather up much, and you don’t use a conditioner after that, but I found I quite like it now, after coming back to it 🙂 I use the Eucerin body wash when I have problems with dry skin which sometimes happens with body washes that are too fragranced or drying and that includes almost all the nice smelling body washes out there 🙁

    Haha I never finish much in a month’s time either so I give myself 3 months time to “collect” a bag of empties! Good job, Paris 😀

      This is the first time I’m collating empties so its quite fun! 😀 I naturally finish all these over a period of time, not in a month. I think that’s impossible 😛

    The empty toothpaste cracked me up. Why doesn’t anyone else post toothpastes in their empties posts? Isn’t toothpaste a beauty product too, in keeping the breath fresh? 😀

      Haha… that’s what I thought too! We use up loads of toothpaste, so why not count it as an empty 😀

    Nah…just kidding. 🙂
    I think the only thing I used up in April is a toothpaste. LOL.

    I’ve used up a couple of TBS shower gels lately. Using up my samples for day and night creams at the moment. I think my toothpaste will finish this week 😉

      Very good! I’m starting to keep track of my empties and deriving great satisfaction from throwing out empty bottles, tubes and tubs 😀

    I am one of “those people” too! Can never really get to finish one thing. I’ll just suddenly realize I have so many unfinished products some day and then throw them all out together.

      I try to sift though stuff periodically so I don’t end up wasting too much by tossing them out before they expire. I’ve stopped picking up samples because they can be just too much hassle sometimes.

Apparently elephants would eat the fruit of the ma Apparently elephants would eat the fruit of the marula tree and they’d get drunk 🤣 Trying out this #drunkelephant Marula oil. Very popular but worth the hype? On the blog!

I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskinca I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskincare Aura Manuka Honey Mask. It blew my mind away! Soothes skin. Boosts hydration and just makes you feel like you have the best skin ever! Not kidding. If you have a spot or irritated skin, it calms it down and helps get rid of your spots too. Honey is anti bacterial after all, so it’s a great multitasker. 
I also love the Manuka Honey Skin brightening Day Cream. It’s light but creamy and sinks into the skin. I’ve reviewed them both on the blog in the past. If you run a search for Antipodes, you’d also notice how much I love the brand! 😁
I’m super late with this but if you’re planning to purchase any of these 3 Manuka honey items from TNS Skinlab, the code MYWSTUFF10 will give you an extra 10% off (until tomorrow 31 Dec) I highly recommend grabbing the Aura mask. You’ll never want to be without (I always have a backup!) 
Thanks for the gift @tnsskinlab and I must apologise for my tardiness 😩 I’ll learn to cope better from next week! 
Now I have to scuttle and write my year end musings. Some traditions must be kept! 😜
Tell me your fave Antipdoes skincare product!

It’s my first year doing retail and honestly, I’d never been so busy! The year-end rush is unreal! But busy is good, right? At least that’s what I tell myself 😂
While I pack up gift boxes of treats for doggies 🐶 (I’ve tied so many ribbons I’ve finally started to get it right!) #loccitanemalaysia makes it easy to shop for humans 😅 at experienceloccitane.com with their L’Occitane en Demande service. Place your order, and pick up in store or have it delivered. 
Had a bit of breather today and put together a little video. Blink and miss my little monster 🐶 helping me shop! Not sponsored but I did receive a gift from L’Occitane, for which my sun-exposed, dry dog-walking skin thanks you! 
Haven’t done any Christmas shopping this year. It has only just struck me that it’s but mere days away! 😨 Have you done yours?
