The end of my project pan is slowly coming into sight! Here are my latest empties: 51. Garnier Clean Sensitive 2-in-1 Gentle Makeup Remover – This is my favorite 2-phase makeup remover. It gets rid of waterproof makeup without leaving behind an uncomfortable greasy residue. The bottle is also great, with a secure flip-top lid and a perfectly sized dispensing …
I’ve raved about Burt’s Bees very wearable lip shimmers in a previous blog post, and I’ve included a tube of their excellent lip balm in my giveaway, but Burt’s Bees also have other products in their new colour range too! First off, for the timid, there are the tinted lip balms. These give a very sheer wash of colour, which …

Unfortunately, that means that I can only use Lush’s amazing bathtime goodies about 4 times a year (usually on holiday, in a nice clean hotel bathtub I don’t have to clean afterwards – score!). If you’re like me, never fear! Lush …
Celestial Cosmetics / Color4Nails High Garden The nerdy nail girls out there have probably already bagged themselves a few thermal polishes, which are super popular with indie polish makers at the moment.
