According to my absolutely overflowing empties drawer, I think it's time for another Time To Throw Dem Beauty Products Out post. There's quite a bit in this post, many products you've seen before and a couple new ones. 
For people who don't quite get the purpose of these posts, it's to show you my empties. Basically, products that I've finished because I loved or ones that I stopped using and need to part ways with. I'll let you know about my repurchasing situation with these goodies too.   

My three holy grails in one picture, pretty much! You've all probably seen these three products, way too much. But they're just that great. The Maxfactor Face Finity All Day Primer is a great primer to add a little bit of extra moisture. Even though I'm oily, this adds moisture, and not shininess.

The Covergirl TruBlend Foundation is my favourite foundation of all time. It's affordable (by Australian standards), provides me with a medium coverage and lasts on my oily skin all day.

Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Concealer is the only under eye concealer I have used and probably ever will use. It covers everything and doesn't crease. Of course, I've already repurchased these products.

HAIRCARE 
First up, the Dove Hair Therapy Daily Moisture Shampoo* + Conditioner*. I really, really enjoyed using up this range. Luckily I didn't have coloured hair at the time though, because I think that this product isn't exactly colour safe. But, if you don't have any colour in your hair and you're looking for a great, accessible shampoo and conditioner range, I'd definitely recommend this one! It's probably one of my favourites ever and I'll definitely repurchase it once my colour is back to normal.

When it comes to the Natura Siberica Oblepikha Shampoo* + Conditioner*, I personally LOVED the shampoo but the conditioner didn't really do anything for me. This range smells like Pineapple and Passionfruit to me. The shampoo worked as a great clarifying shampoo for me which I used once a week. The conditioner on the other hand, it was too thin to be moisturising and to get that fully moisturised affect, I feel like i'd have to use half of the bottle.

Batiste Dry Shampoo Big & Bouncy XXL Volume is a really, really good dry shampoo. No idea why I picked this one up specifically. Maybe it was on sale, maybe it was from a goodie bag, I don't quite remember because it was a long, long time ago. But yes, this ones pretty good! Doesn't leave any white residue on my roots, gives me some great volume and helps my oil disappear.

SKINCARE
Innoxa Organic Gentle Cleansing Gel*was an absolute favourite of mine last year. It's probably the perfect face cleanser for my skin. It cleared my skin up and made my feel generally feel better. The packaging size is really small though so I've been using this product pretty sparingly. I will repurchase this 100%, but I'm going to wait for a Priceline Skincare sale because it isn't that affordable.

Biore Deep Pore Cleansing Gel is my favourite face cleanser for the shower. I've had quite a few bottles of this stuff and I have a new one in my shower right now.

Garnier Clean Sensitive 2-in-1 Gentle Make Up Remover is a MUST PURCHASE for all of you reading. This product is the best stubborn makeup remover you'll ever use. It's cheap and accessible. You need it, now.

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel is an amazing moisturiser for those of you with combo to oily skin. It's a great moisturiser that sinks in straight away. It's perfect under makeup because you can't tell its there.

THINGS THAT SMELL GREAT 
Victoria's Secret Secret Charm Body Mist is a product I've had for a really, really long time. I've been trying to use it up for what seems like forever. It's a nice scent, but I've smelt nicer, so I probably won't repurchase it.

Victoria's Secret Noir Tease Scented Body Wash smells AMAZING. I loved this body wash and I'll definitely be repurchasing it in a larger size if it's still available. It smells a lot like a Brittney Spears fragrance to me. Nice and sweet! It's probably strange that I like this because I usually like more natural, herby shower washes, but hey I love it.

YSL Parisienne Perfume was my favourite scent of last year. I used it up so quickly because it smelt so nice. It's a gorgeous sweet, warm and hearty winter scent, that I kind of stuck with all year long (oops). I'll definitely be repurchasing this one.

One thing I really wanted to do before the end of 2015 was finish up a lot of products. I am happy to say that I managed and my empties drawer is now empty. Here is a whole chunk of products that I loved and collected in a drawer, to share with you.




Joico Daily Care Range* was one of my favourite hair combos for 2015. The scent was incredible for both products and the conditioner smelt faintly like aftershave. The only problem I had was that the packaging is so sturdy that it can be a teeny bit difficult to squeeze out.

Bed Head Colour Goddess Range* smells like caramel / salted caramel. I used up the shampoo and loved it. It cleaned my hair really well and was very moisturising as well. I'm currently still using the conditioner and I love it just as much.

When it comes to heat protectors, I have tried so many. By far, my favourite is this one. John Freida's Frizz-Ease* is incredible. It sprays on evenly, locks up so it doesn't leak and my hair is so smooth after straightening. My hair is colour treated, and it's still very healthy. I'm sure this product is responsible for a lot of my hairs vitality!


Victoria's Secret  has some of the nicest smelling body washes ever. I used up Forever Pink and absolutely loved it. It was floral but not too sweet and actually smelt pretty fresh and natural to me.

Cowshed Wild Cow Invigorating Bath & Shower Gel* is probably one of my favourite body washes of all time. It is SO refreshing with lemongrass, ginger and rosemary. If you love fresh scents, grab this one.

The Body Shop Glazed Apple Shower Gel* was very sweet and of course, smelt like apples. It was limited edition and is probably a bit too sweet for me, so I don't think i'd pick it up again if it was re-released.

Welcome back to another installment of Time To Throw Dem Beauty Products Out aka beauty products empty in the language of Katina. Boy oh boy am I excited to be emptying my empties drawer (ha).

Makeup  This little collection looks so boring, sorry guys and girls. But these are true holy grails of mine and I go through them like crazy. 
Max Factor Face Finity All Day Primer is a product that I'm sure you're sick of me hearing blab on about, but it's honestly just so great! My friend Rosa from Lipstick'N'Linguine actually said that she loves this one more than her Hourglass Mineral Veil Primer which you can read about here. I personally haven't tried that primer, but compared to all other primers that I've ever used, this one just wins hands down. I have a more complete post and break down of why I love this product here. 
Covergirl Tru Blend Foundation in M6 is another thing that I am truly obsessed with. I'm oily, I have an uncommon skintone and this stuff just works. It stays on, covers what it needs to, doesn't feel sticky and I love it. 
L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes Waterproof Mascara till this day is one of the only mascaras that lasts on my stubborn, oily eyelashes. I cannot recommend it enough if you're also oily or stuck with stubborn eyelashes like me! It will change up your lash game forever. 

Skincare and Haircare
Wella Professionals Brilliance Conditioner For Coloured Hair SMELLS SO DELICIOUS. It's probably one of the best smelling and most moisturising conditioners I've ever used. I currently have way way too many hair shower products so I won't be repurchasing it yet, but it'll definitely be back in my shower in the future.

Schwarzkopf Extra Care Hair Repair With Liquid Keratin was okay. Nothing too special. Made my hair clean and smooth, but nothing about this product really jumped out at me.

This product was definitely a hair game changer for me. I've never used anything as soft and lathering as the Natural Secrets Goatsmilk Moisturising Shampoo. This entire product range is soooo incredible. I've loved all of the products in this range and if you have sensitive skin I think goatsmilk is definitely for you!


Other This is just something I always find funny when looking at my empties. How do I go through so much deodorant!? Well anyway, Nivea's Invisble Antiperspirant Spray is my fave. I do sweat quite a lot (tmi so sorry), but this keeps me feeling nice and fresh all day.
What are some products you've recently finished and are going to repurchase?  *Products marked with an asterisk have been provided for editorial consideration. For more information, please read my disclaimer.
