I went on holidays in the middle of July, so I didn’t have enough empties to post about. Here’s my last two months of beauty stuff: Marc Anthony Oil of Morocco Sulfate Free Shampoo* – I was pleasantly surprised by this shampoo! It’s the first sulfate-free shampoo I’ve used that made my hair feel clean and didn’t leave me with …
I didn’t actually get through that many products in June, and I don’t think I’m going to get through many in July either since I’m going on holidays! Here are my June empties: Villainess Ginger Snapped Soap – I got this in a subscription box a while back, and while this soap is small, it lasts quite a while – …

(I seriously think I’ve tried every type of product out there…except tanner.) For the uninitiated, shampoo bars are soap-looking blocks which you rub onto your wet hair, …
I’ve been too lazy to deal with the whole hubbub of waxing – carrying hot wax from the microwave to the bathroom and trying to slather it on with a paddle pop stick is something I can only be bothered doing twice a year. I’d given up on waxing entirely and gave away all my remaining wax when I saw …
