Empties – September 2014

So it's empties time and oddly this month there haven't been too many things that I've actually finished. I can't really decide why that is. I've been using lots of beauty products that's for sure but I've also been gifted lots of new things to try and I can be quite fickle and flit from… Continue reading Empties – September 2014
