As December, and the year 2012 come to a close, a few of my absolute favourite products have come to an end. Some of these babies have lasted me a long time, so it's sad to see them off, but fun in a way that I will now need to repurchase the ones that are necessary! (If you're concerned about my spending ban - see here - don't be, the only thing I may need to repurchase will be Big, and I have a fresh one already which hopefully will last me the 100 days!)
Jurlique Herbal Recovery Gel
I first discovered this gem when my sister purchased me a gift set from Jurlique for my birthday. (early February in 2012) It was only 30ml which lasted me half a year, and after seeing fantastic results, I purchased another 30ml bottle. Unfortunately it has finished up again. Due to my spending ban, I won't be buying it again until I can spend again, and I will have to make due with the rest of my skincare.
Would I repurchase?
Yes, yes, again and again. This baby is a lifetime product.
Bioré Triple Action Toner
I've been using this since September, and I'm in love with it! The difference it has made to my skin is remarkable! This featured in my 2012 favourites (see here) and will probably continue to do so throughout the years! You can read my full review here.
Would I repurchase?
Yes! I already have two backup bottles!
Lush Big
I've also been using this for a few months, another of my favourite products that was featured in my 2012 Favourites! (See here) This lasted a ridiculously long time, as you only need the tiniest amount! This product has changed my life!
Would I repurchase?
Yes, I already have!
Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder
Yet another product that was a part of my 2012 Favourites! (here) The Stay Matte will forever be perfect for me, and it's something that just works well time and time again.
Would I repurchase?
Yes, I have about four extras lying around!
John Frieda Luxurious Volume Dry Shampoo
I picked this up a while ago, and it was actually the only dry shampoo I've ever used that has actually worked for me! I haven't needed to use as often as I used to, due to my hair becoming less oily, however on occasion I will use it, and my boyfriend uses it often too as it doesn't have too much of a girly smell like the other ones. You can read my full review here.
Would I repurchase?
Yes, I actually have a spare bottle at work, and I'm happy to keep using it!

So there we have it, my empties for the month of December! I really finished up a few of my favourites! I think that's definitely a good ending to the year! Have you finished up any good products lately? Link me to your December empties in the comments below!
I think this is the first empties I've seen where you love and will repurchase everything! :)
ReplyDeleteI think so too haha! I just seemed to use up my favourites! :P

I received the Biore toner for Christmas. I'm definitely going to give it a try sooner rather than later now!
ReplyDeleteOh yay! I hope you love it as much as I do! :)
Deletexx
Spending bans are EVIL!!! The Baptiste dry shampoo works for me but I'm going to keep an eye out for the John Frieda one.
ReplyDeleteI'd link you to my December empties, but you've already seen it! x
TEHY AAREEEEE... I'm dying here! But my bank balance will thank me! :P
DeleteI love how you already have a gazillion back ups! That is a true sign that you really love a product!
ReplyDeletexx
Haha exactly! I see it on sale, I'm there! Might as well buy it for half price now than full price when I need it :P
Deletexx
I really want to try Big! I've heard so many good things about it but it's so pricey :( Is it really worth it?
ReplyDeleteoh i'm having a giveaway! hope you can join (:

Well, it's definitely worth it for me as it worked wonders, but if you don't have super oily hair, I honestly wouldn't bother with it... you can find other fab products for normal/dry hair for far less! Maybe ask for a sample and see how it goes, or ask to try a little bit on a few of your strands in store?
DeleteAnd I'll definitely join! :)

My Rimmel stay matte powder is definitely probably one of my most recent favorites! I've been wanting to try Lush products for the longest time, all of you other beauty bloggers are making me jelly! hah hah ;p
ReplyDeletegiveaway!
Oh yay! Stay Matte is definitely a favourite among heaps of bloggers, probably because it's SO good! :P
DeleteAND TRY LUSH! You'll love it! :D

Love the Lush Big. Works wonderfully for my hair.
ReplyDeleteOhhh good to hear! I love it too, obviously haha :)
Deletexx
I've just started using Lush Big and am loving it too! Interested in that Toner, I like that it targets blemishes, too. Might have to try it out!
ReplyDeleteThat's great! (I know you have, we spoke on Twitter hehe)
DeleteThe Toner is brilliant! I got my sister onto it too, she has a few blemishes and it's really helped her skin out!
xx
Ooh I'm using the Jurlique at the moment too! Love it :)
ReplyDeleteIf the Rimmel powder ever gets discontinued I swear I will buy 10 and then BAWL my eyes out when I run out :(
Yay! It's pretty amazing haha, wish the price was though :P
DeleteAND NO! Don't ever say that lol! If it gets discontinued, we will make a petition to make it STAY! I'm sure practically every other beauty blogger will back us up :P
I got the Lush Big today! I decided to get it after you said that you liked it so much :) I'm still on the fence about the Rimmel powder.. Everyone says that it's good but I have so many powders to get through as it is :P
ReplyDeleteOh yay! I hope you love it :) If you don't, I'll take if off your hands ;) haha
DeleteWith the Rimmel powder, I'll be honest... I haven't tried a whole heap of other powders, at least none that impressed me and were cost effective! 2013 is full of new opportunities though :P
xx
Big looks so weird! like.. jelly like fat... lol It kind of weirds me out but I'm gonna give it a go :)
DeleteI love the Bourjois pressed powder which is $20 but always goes on sale at Priceline. I got mine for $14. I also ordered a Dior one recently but the quality will probably be the same as the Bourjois one..
Haha I know, I thought the same thing when I first tried it!
DeleteI haven't tried the Bourjois powder, but I think I'd like to!
Hopefully the Dior is better, because I'm sure it's price is higher :P
I really need to try out Big! I kinda have to stop spending aswell though hahaha my bank account is dying.
ReplyDeleteHahah I know right, that's why I'm trying the spending ban again.. but I will succeed this time :D
DeleteGreat empties post! The Jurlique recovery gel and Lush's Big shampoo sounds like a winner! I think it's time for me to get my hands on it haha! x
ReplyDeleteThanks hun! They both are HUGE winners in my eyes haha :P
DeleteLet me know what you think of you do try them out!
xx
Ahh, Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder.. Enough said :P

Definitely :D

Oh wow, that powder from rimmel must be real good! i want to try cheaper powders for setting my make up, I go through them fast! I've been finishing hair products but I've got plenty of back ups! ^^
ReplyDeleteIt's SO good haha, it's a lot cheaper than most other products!
DeleteI keep a lot of backups too haha but I don't think it's so much good planning more like bad spending :P
xx
Thanks for the product tips; I'll have to give these products a try! I'm your newest follower; I'd love for you to stop by and follow back if you get the chance :) We seem to have a lot in common. Happy New Year!
