This is an okay facial wipes, not my favorite but it works just fine. I usually buy facial wipes depending on what's on sale as I find most of the facial wipes you can buy at pharmacies or supermarkets work the same. I bought this at Priceline for half the price and I'm happy with it.
VERDICT: okay product, may recommend, may buy again, fair price
I got this sample when I bought a Sukin Rosehip Oil. I just wished I used it earlier as I really liked this moisturiser. It makes my skin smooth and soft without making it oily. I have read reviews that others had a breakout when they used this product but not for me. I have an oily face and easily gets pimples but this moisturiser worked for me. I will definitely buy the full size and for $9.99 it's a bargain. It's also made from all natural ingredients and smells divine.
VERDICT: great product, highly recommended,will buy this product, great value for money
I got this sample sent to me by Priceline together with some vouchers for being a Priceline sister. It claims to instantly blur the appearance of wrinkles, pores and imperfections. It claims to give your skin a miraculous skin transformation. I had high hopes for this product since it claims a lot of things but I was quite disappointed with the results. My pores were quite visible and it feels a little bit sticky on my face. I don't think I'll be buying this product.
VERDICT: okay product, won't recommend, won't buy this product
Cutex Nail Polish Remover Moisture Guard 100ml $4.79
I bought this as this is cheaper than Sally Hansen's and wants to check which one is better. I still like Sally Hansen better but this is not a bad product. It does contain Acetone but it doesn't dry your nails which is pretty good.
VERDICT: good product, will recommend to others, may buy again, good value for money
Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear in Invisible $6.95
I think I bought this from Chemist Warehouse as they usually have Sally Hansen products on sale. I use this as a base coat and top coat. It claims to make your nails hard as nails but I didn't see much difference from using a normal nail polish. It's an okay product for me and I like this brand as it doesn't easily chip my nails.
VERDICT: okay product, may recommend, may buy if it's on sale but not full price
Rimmel 60 Seconds Nail Color in Clear Sweep $7.95
I love this clear nail polish and it's my second bottle I love the brush as it's thick enough for you to do one coat in one swipe. It's also true to its claim as a 60 second nail polish as it dries quite quickly. I bought this when Priceline had a sale on Rimmel products and as I much as I love this nail polish, I'm stingy and I don't think I'll buy this for the full price. I suggest you watch for Priceline's buy 2 get 1 free promo which they always have or head to Chemist Warehouse.
VERDICT: great product, highly recommended, will buy again if it's on sale
Dove Silky Nourishing Body Cream 300ml
This body cream was recommended by Mr SF to me and he does have good taste! I'm very picky with my lotion as I tend to get dry and itchy skin especially on my arms. I had this for quite some time and I must say I love this body cream. It does make your skin feels well moisturised all throughout the day. It's not sticky or greasy and it smells nice as well. I remember buying this for less than $5 in Chemist Warehouse but the packaging has now changed and it's now simply called Dove Body Silk and retails for $9.49.
VERDICT: great product, highly recommended, will buy again, good value for money
Garnier Fructis Pure Volume Dry Shampoo 150ml $8.99
I love the fruity smell of this dry shampoo but it's just a so-so product for me. It claims to give your hair extra volume but I didn't see any difference compared to other dry shampoos. You also have to make sure you brush your hair properly after using it as it will leave you with white particles that looks like dandruff and that's not a pretty sight. I do love that it makes your hair smelling fresh and fruity all day though.
VERDICT; so-so product, may recommend. not sure if will buy again
BOE Jumbo Wind Up Lips in Knockout Red $2
BOE is exclusive to Big W and I got curious about this lipstick as it's only $2 so I decided to buy one and try it out. It's not the best but not the worst lipstick in town. It is highly pigmented but you have to reapply from time to time as it doesn't last long. It's not a bad product but I don't think this is the brand for me when it comes to lipsticks.
VERDICT: okay product, amazing price, may recommend
L'Oreal Riche Nutrishine Lipstick in Pink Nude $19.95
I bought this lippie because I saw this on sale for half the price at Woolies and I was pleasantly surprised! I usually get dry and cracked lips and trying new lipsticks are always a hit and miss for me. I wasn't expecting great results from this lippie as most L'Oreal lipsticks I tried didn't work out well for me. But, this is one is just amazing! It keeps my lips moisturised all day and discovered that this is the perfect nude shade for my skin tone. Only downside is that you have to reapply it after a few hours but not a really big deal, I still love this lippie!
VERDICT; great product, highly recommended, will buy again
Physicians Formula Organic Wear Tinted Moisturiser in Natural 44ml $24.95
Another organic product I tried and love! It's a tinted moisturiser and also has SPF15 so you can use it on its own if you're in a hurry. It has a nice smell like most organic products. I have oily skin and what I love most about this moisturiser is that it leaves me with an almost matte finish and lasts all day. This is my third buy and will definitely buy again.
VERDICT: highly recommended, great organic product, will definitely buy again and again
Hello Kitty Bubblegum Perfume Body Mist 75g $4.99
I first bought this body mist for a teenage cousin who loves Hello Kitty and she liked it so I bought one for myself too. It has a sweet but not overpowering bubblegum smell. It doesn't last all day but it lasts for most of the day which is not bad considering its price. I love the smell and may buy another one to use for quick errands and save the other perfumes for special occasions.
VERDICT: good product, recommended, great value for money

Mariah Carey Lollipop Splash EDP Spray 100ml $69
I always get this bottle as a gift and I'm not complaining. I don't like super sweet or super fruity smells and this one is just right for me. It has that sweet taste but not girly sweet and this is my favorite from the Lollipop range. I suggest not buying this for full price as it's usually on sale at Priceline and Chemist Warehouse.
VERDICT: recommended, will buy if it's sale, lasts all day
I got this as a birthday gift last year and I was really happy to receive this. It does make you think of Light Blue when you smell this perfume. It has that fresh sea breeze smell that you will surely love. Just a little bit of spray behind your ears will leave you smelling nice all day. I love this perfume but a little costly for me but I guess it's worth the price.
VERDICT; great perfume, highly recommended, worth the price
That's all for my May empties!
Now tell me what's on your May empties and have you tried some of the products I had for this month?
Which ones do you love or hate?
I'd love to hear from you! :)
Keep on smiling! :)
