It's my last year at uni and it has been hectic. But I'm back with an empties post.
I'm really happy with my efforts to scale down my used products. My dad has plans to renovate the house and so I need to get through my products, because I really don't want to have to package them as well. Anyway lets dig into the empties tray and see what I have Sakurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18335604078893843262noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1111202441209694134.post-60880296960813600942014-01-04T13:33:00.000+11:002014-01-09T22:43:33.166+11:002013 Favorites Happy New Year everyone, I cannot believe how fast 2013 went. I'm not into making resolutions but I do want to start going to bed early, wake early and not spend all my money on makeup or skin care. Today, I will be doing a favorites post, I usually don't do these mostly because I tend to forget what I used most during the month.

Now I have been stuck with loads of essays and presentations. I just wanted to quickly do this post and then return to finishing my uni work :(
I really cannot believe it is December already, this year has gone in a flash for me, maybe it because I have been so busy with uni. Anyways let's dig in.

I hope your not bored of these already, if you are I apologize, but I really think that when buying a product it is so much help when someone has tired it out and reviewed it. Today I will be reviewing the cream.
As you can see the packaging is the same as the lotion and emulsion.

This is my last review for the Isa Knox MX-II Platinum line, it's the eye cream. I have really enjoyed using this line, it helped keep my skin well moisturized during the winter.
The Isa Knox MX-II Platinum eye cream comes in a light pink tube and contains 30ml of product, which is double the amount most eye cream are. The packing is simple but effective, I personally think that tube are a Sakurahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18335604078893843262noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1111202441209694134.post-1103010862604689352013-11-04T22:46:00.004+11:002013-11-04T22:46:47.978+11:00Monthly Empties - OctoberAnother month has gone by so fast, I don't know about you but I really thing that this year has gone by so quick.

I did an over view on the whole line a few posts ago, here. Before I begin, my skin type is very dry and during winter my skin gets very very dry and has an almost tight feeling. I also tend to suffer from dry patches on my cheeks and around my mouth area.

Priceline had a massive 40% off all skincare, which is a big deal in Australia because everything is so much more expensive in Australia.
