Empties Review: The Body Shop Camomile Sumptuous Cleansing Butter


This was the first cleansing balm that I ever tried. I really loved how easily it took my makeup off. 
I used this as the first step in a nightly double-cleanse routine.

I bought two tins of this balm and was convinced that this was the product I wanted to use to remove my makeup going forward.

However, I heard about another cleansing balm that I am now a big fan of. I am currently using that product now and it has knocked this balm off the Holy Grail throne...sorry Body Shop!

I am not saying that I wouldn't repurchase this balm again in the future, but it would have to be a special sale, and the other balm would have to be sold out in order to repurchase this one.

This tin retails for $9 CAD, and the other retails for $5 CAD for a deeper tub of product. If I come across a 2 for 1, or 3 for 2 sale at The Body Shop, I would definitely repurchase this cleansing balm again. Especially because the other balm is sold out quite a lot on the other website.

So in summary, although this product has been dethroned as my Holy Grail cleansing balm, it definitely is my next choice if I cannot get my hands on more of the other product.

What is YOUR favourite cleansing product?

March Additions to My Year-round Basic Wardrobe

Image
Today I am sharing the items I am adding to my year-round basic wardrobe for the month of March.  I am working through my clothing to see which items will stay and be added to my four seasonal boxes, of which I will "shop" from every time I want to change things up in my wardrobe. For the next while I will be creating monthly capsule wardrobes that include my year-round basics and different additions each month. I am starting this project a bit late but it will go on until I have fully curated a wardrobe that represents my colour palette  and also my three style words: Mellow, Fine and Gaiety. These style words represent how I want to feel when I get dressed...comfortable, polished and fun!! Now, let's see what I am adding for my March Capsule: The Clothing items include:  Camouflage Dress Olive Leggings Chambray Button-down Shirt Kelly Green Button-down Shirt Striped Tank-top Floral Top Green Patterned T-shirt Navy and Grey Baseball T-shirt For Shoes I have: Black Wedge-

I Got My Colours Done!!

Image
For my birthday this past year I asked my husband to get me a colour consultation with a lady I have followed on YouTube for over four years.  Image courtesy of @useless_dk on Instagram Her name is Signe Hansen of www.uselesswardrobe.dk   and she is a certified stylist and colour consultant. Because I had already been following and corresponding with her in the past, I wanted to support her and get my colour consultation with her. I did have to do it virtually over Zoom because she lives in Denmark! You are probably familiar with "Colour Me Beautiful" colour draping services. However, it has really evolved over the years. I first heard about it in the 1980's when it used to divide each of us into different colour seasons based on our skin tone, hair and eye colour. Now it is more nuanced and there are more groupings that are more based on tones, shades and saturation of colour than just the four seasons. I sent Signe pictures of me in natural light, both with and without

No-Buy 2023: January Update

Image
 In 2022 I decided to go on a No-Buy for all of 2023 for makeup, clothes, jewelry and skincare. For clothing and skincare, it is a replacements only no-buy (RONB) and for makeup and jewelry, it is an absolute no-buy. As we have been planning to get our closets redesigned by California Closets this year, it became clear to me that I have wayyyyyy too many garments of clothing and pieces of jewelry. I already knew I had way too much makeup, but because it took up less space it didn't occur to me to worry about it...until now.  In past declutters, I rashly gave away a lot of clothes and makeup which triggered me to accumulate even more...so this time when I declutter, I will do it slowly and make sure I will not miss what I am decluttering. And at the same time, I decided to not purchase any makeup or jewelry this year and only buy replacements for clothing (because white things...and underwear) and skincare. So far I have done well in January. I have not purchased anything that is of
