As I have been really bad with being regular with my 'empties' post I decided it is easier to follow and write when I do them in smaller patches. Here are five products I managed to save from going into trash and I literally ended last month. So this post is really in order! When it comes to makeup I have no used up products to show you, but you will get more skincare and little bit hair care. 

MÁDARA Deep Moisture Gel is the one I have talked about before and just ended the second tube of it. I love it to hydrate my skin and apply under my moisturiser when I am drier. But more than ever, it is a perfect instead a moisturiser when your skin is unbalanced and isn't that dry. I always reach for it when it get warmer and even hot outside. It keep oilier areas at a bay and doesn't let skin get dry on other areas. It has such a pleasant and fresh herbal scent and liquidy consistency of this gel goes on like a much needed nectar for your face. I reviewed this and other MÁDARA products in here.

Nurme Lavender Facial Toner is meant for problematic skin, but everyone would actually benefit from it. It is 100% natural and I am absolutely in love with their facial toners. Lavender one I particularly love when I have some breakouts to calm down or at night time in general. It soothes, tones and cleans every trace of face mask or face cleaner off your skin. It comes in a spray bottle and that makes it easy to apply it before moisturising-step as a spray refreshment. The only thing I would love more than this already is, would be the bottle. It is fairly small and I go through it so fast. Also I would prefer a bottle to be without the pump as I love my toner on cotton round and whenever I spray it on cotton it gets everywhere else and that's a waste.

Caru Skincare Cucumber + Lime Organic Toner is created for normal or combination skin. It is extremely balancing and detoxifying and has much more power than any other toner I have used. When I first got it, I couldn't get over how beautiful this vintage bottle was. Chances are I am going to clean it and keep it just use it in the future when I happen to stumble on the beauty products that have a not so good packaging. The other thing was a scent of it. It is so refreshing and comforting, just like fresh cucumber salad with the twist of lime! With the combination of cucumbers and limes, it soothes an calms skin immediately, yet leaves pores so clean and small with the cleaning effects of lime. Even if it is labelled as a toner for normal to combination skin, it is so gentle, I would suggest it to everyone with the benefits of clearing up skin, boosting it and balancing its pH levels at all times.

Silver Tree Argan Oil Thairapy Ultra Hydrating Hair Mask is a huge jar full of really moisturising hair mask. I got it for a while ago from local Estonian beauty store I.L.U, when I was actually in a search of a new hair serum. I knew nothing about this brand when I picked it up, but was nicely surprised after first use. Since then it has been my must-have hair once a week hair mask and already got myself a new one. It is really thick and so moisturising yet doesn't leave hair heavy or greasy. It restores hair within few uses and you can actually feel, yourlocks are in a better condition. As just adding moisture doesn't cut it for my hair, it must also has to add some strength, because I won't struggle with the breakage anymore like I did before finding this mask. Since I have tried ever so expensive Macadamia Deep Repair Hair Mask which great, but is quite a splurge when it comes to its price. These two are really similar when it comes to hair results afterwards, but this one is so much cheaper.

LUSH Mask of Magnaminty is a face mask for problematic skin on face and back. I only used it on my face. Being deep cleansing, toning, exfoliating it takes care of your pores and blemishes you might have. I was so amazed by it at first and love the tingling sensation at first because of its natural peppermint oil, but after a while this mask made me sick. The scent got so repulsive and strong for me, I just applied it to use it up and knew it works wonders. It does really heal any blemishes and cleans up pores, but there's too much peppermint for my taste. Probably will give it a try in the far future again, but for now I will stay away from it.

If someone would have told me few months ago I would choose alternative hot drink over coffee, I would have laughed at them and continued to act as a coffee addict, always thinking when could I get another cup of coffee. Sometimes it even ruled my life too much, but I couldn't give up. I love the taste of coffee, the smell of coffee, the idea of coffee and the variety of coffee drinks you can get. 

When you usually enjoy green tea and throw away the tea leaves, then with matcha you will consume everything. This means 137 times more antioxidants than regular green tea! There are so many benefits in a good cup full of matcha. It boosts metabolism, clears up skin when you are prone to redness and spots and improves skin in general. Improves energy levels, nutrient balance and weight control. Green tea is extremely anti-aging when you drink it regularly. The most important factor to me is the fact that I get my needed caffeine without anxiety since I suffer from it. 

Basically you take 1/2 teaspoon of matcha powder and mix it with hot water in a regular tea cup or make a shot with juice and take it in at once. I prefer to drink it as a regular tea and since green tea can be little bit bitter, I like to add a little amount of organic local honey in it. Matcha creates little foam on top of it, but when you are pickier than me, you can always whisk it and create even more foam and enjoy your creamy foamy power drink. 

The benefits of matcha kick in quite fast. I usually feel the rush of energy right after I have finished with my drink, but still I will remain focused. I also noticed I won't feel sluggish afterwards when the effect of the caffeine has faded. It happens quite often with coffee consumption: you will feel yourself like in a rut and afterwards there's no energy at all. In conclusion I did notice in a month that my skin got better and didn't need as much care a pampering in order to maintain its cleanliness. My metabolism got punctual and much faster and overall I felt myself better, stress free and without any anxiety or insomnia.

I am not going to lie, I still consume coffee at least once a day in the morning, but I have cut down on it so much and am proud of myself. There have also been days without any coffee at all after matcha had got more and more near my heart.

About this particular Pure Chimp matcha green tea I love the fact it seems to be so high quality, the powder is very fine, dissolves quickly and only tiniest amount creates quite strong tea. Can't pass on mentioning the handy jar that can be taken with you anywhere without worrying about spilling your matcha.

Have you tried matcha green tea and did you like it?

If you are the one who also struggles often with sun- or windburned lips that can easily cause a nasty and painful cold sores. This is the little affordable magic in a pot. Whenever I feel I might get a col sore and my upper lip starts to itch or sting, I usually end up consuming enormous amounts of melissa tea. Which is good, of course. Because melissa tea has its own benefits and should be loved not only for that, but it is well known fact that melissa helps to boost your immune system and fight viruses.

Its base is the best local beeswax along with flax oil, safflower oil and of course the essential oils of melissa. It is 100% natural and handmade in Estonia, so imagine my surprise when I got to know that the best things don't have to come from far away. 

Lip balm itself is more solid than creamy, which is good, because humid weather can destroy easily melting products fast. This won't leave lips greasy, but applies very thin and so refreshing protective layer on them. Melissa's scent is so comforting, balmy and soothing. Within one application you can considerably reverse any damage that has already happened and go live on with your soft pout how it is actually meant to be.

This is my new TRIANGL Bandeau Neoprene Bikini in Pastel Neon Orange. It is called Winnie Arizona Sunset. I think that name describes it perfectly! This sure does look like a midsummer's sunset. I could talk about this gorgeous shade for hours, but that wouldn't be informative. So, onto the set itself! I got this a while ago, but have gotten really good use out of this set for the last couple of weeks. I love the fact it is bandeau as I think this kind of top is the most flattering and also convenient when sunbathing. No straps means no tan lines!

I also must admit that first when I ordered it, I was a bit worried how the top would fit and whether it would stay up or fall down too easily. It actually fits amazingly and you don't have to struggle at all in order to keep it up or worry about flashing yourself. It has been made of 100% neoprene which is little bit thicker material than swimwear usually has been made. While this material needs to be hand washed, it is so easy to do that and it goes clean within minutes. 

The benefits of this fabric and this bikini set are endless! It dries quickly after swim and isn't see through at all when getting wet. It has a flexible boning in a structured top that will hug your curves perfectly. Even though it is thicker, you won't get hot and your skin is able to breathe. It has back clasp fastening, but I also love the zipper in front that makes it easy to get on or off. As a lovely bonus it comes in a handy bag that has been made with the same material and is the same colour as the bikini set. Considering all that, I imagine this set of swimwear lasting longer than any other I have owned.

Most of all I do love the fact that with this bikini set you are covered up tastefully, yet you don't have to sacrifice the beauty of your bikini. As I said, I have always loved a good strapless bandeau, but very often they don't stay put where they should and you end up always arranging yourself. Sunbathing and swimming should be worry free and that is what this TRIANGL set offers!
