February Empties

Hey everyone, 

It's that time of the month again where I show you everything I have used in the beauty side of things. I don't think I have used up as much as last month, however most of the finished items are full size and did take a while to use up. If you don't know how I do my empties yet, every time I finish an item I write down it's value in a note book (to add up at the end of the month) and keep them in a little bin. I then tally up the total amount and value at the end of the month. 

I finished:

2 Haircare

9 Skincare

5 Bodycare

3 Samples

8 Makeup (one in a palette) 

8 Wax (not shown here, empties for that are posted on Instagram @Piperbeauty) 

1 Eyeshadow (palette to be decluttered) 

3 Misc

All in all this month I managed to finish a value of £160.41. Which considering I thought I had less empties this month is amazing! This is mostly due to finishing off Body shop items and the hair mask which was £18 alone! Hopefully I'm aiming for another good month next month, keep this journey going.

December Empties!

Hey everyone, 

It's that time of the month again where we see how much I've managed to use up from my collection. After doing my inventory of makeup and skincare recently, I've really found out that the amount I've been using up really hasn't made a dent in my collection. So for next year I shall be doing more projects, buying less items (and saving more money!) and writing down everything I do buy. After this last empties post of 2015, I will be doing a total items I have used post sometime by the end of next week. I also think I'm going to continue to write down the values and items I have used up as this has helped me push forward and use more up! 

December I used up:

24 Skincare

5 Bodycare

7 Samples

8 Makeup

2 Misc items

Now although this doesn't seem a lot compared to previous months of my empties, I can promise you the amount in value is staggering! I used a total value of £183.94 this month! I believe this is so high due to the Mac MSF, Talika skincare and Ren Skincare. Also with my empties I have decided to count deluxe samples as full size as they take just as long to use up in my opinion. 

Stay tuned for the final 2015 count of what I used up later this week!

November Empties!

Hey there everyone! 

Doesn't this time of the month come round quick? Before long the end of the year will be over and I can't wait to give you all my total amount of items used and value! This month was a very slow month for myself as I have been using ALOT of full sized items and mostly brand new. However I did make a big dent in my makeup! 

(Sorry for the blurry photo! It's late at night over here) 

In total I used:

2 Haircare

21 Skincare

7 Bodycare

1 Sample 

9 Makeup (including a full palette!) 

1 Single eyeshadow

2 Misc

If you did not know, how I do my empties is I write down a value for each item I out into my bin in a little book and at the end of the month I find my total value. This month the total value was £181.21!! I think the value was so high because the skincare I used up was high value items like the Clinique and the InstaNaturals (both of which I loved!). Hopefully my last empties for this year will be just as good.

August Empties!

Hey everyone, 

Seen as I'm going to be on holiday when this is normally updated, I asked you all on Instagram (@Piperbeauty) which you would like to see first and August empties came up top. As this is only 3 or so weeks worth of empties compared to normal, the amount is a little low but it does have a massive value! If you don't know already, every time I finish an item it goes into my empties box and the value is written in a note book for the end of the month. Here is everything I finished this month. 

I used up:

- 2 Haircare

- 14 Facial Care

- 1 Body product

- 16 Samples

- 6 Makeup + 1 eyeshadow pan

- 1 Misc 

In total the value for all this is £107.39 which I was totally surprised at considering I used a big lot of samples this month! As you can also tell this was a big month for face masks for myself as one was in a project and another two I was reviewing. 

Hopefully next month will be just as good as a few makeup products are on their final legs.
