Hi, I'm Sanida!

Hello if you are new to these parts! My name is Sanida and I'm the shiny face behind @flukebeauty. I love indie beauty, I love writing about it and slapping it on my face. My blog has been running for almost 2 and a half years and I'm really proud of the resource it has become. Link is in my bio if you'd like to check it out.

Personally speaking I'm turning 35 next week and I feel really good about that. I keep saying I'm halfway to 40 but I've never been good at maths. 🤣

I'd love to know more about you too. What are you doing today? What is one product that you've used today that you love?

If there's anything you'd like to know about me, ask away!

I haven't done a dedicated empties post in a while but I think they're a great way to reflect on products and let you know my final thoughts. I only have two for now but expect a lot more as I try to use up what is in my stash! No buy challenge is in full swing.

First up we have the @augustinusbader Rich cream. Not gonna lie, my heart sunk when I pumped out the last dollop of this. Partly because I have no other night creams in my cupboard to fall back on but mostly because it is undeniably good. Very expensive so an immediate repurchase is not possible. Perhaps in the not too distant future. Really wish you could see how much is left in the bottle! I dislike surprises 🤣. Full review is on flukebeauty.com if you'd like to know more.

@alphahskincare Hyaluronic 8 may look small but it is mighty. I really enjoyed the hydrating and plumping properties of this serum and I was shaking the bottle to get every last drop of it out. I will definitely repurchase this once I have used up my other HA serums. Thanks to @ms_hannah_e for the recommendation! You were spot on, as always.

What have you used up recently?

Have you tried any facial cleansers that are like a bar of soap?

In my hand is a cute little @lessisbeauty sample of their cleansing Soap bar. It contains activated charcoal and it makes my skin squeaky clean. Maybe a little *too* clean so I don't think I would use this every day. Really oily skin types might appreciate this more but for me it is a twice a week detoxing treatment at most.
Thank you to @heartwoodau for the sample. 💚

Back to work tomorrow after a relaxing weekend so I've prepped my skin with some treats:

@jordansamuelskin Aftershow Treatment Cleanser, Matinee Gel Cleanser and Retinol Oil

@alexcarroskincare Exfoliating powder

@skinjuice Vanilla and Honey mask

@joshrosebrook Hydrating Accelerator

@olivarrier Squalane oil

@drunkelephant Protini

PHEW. That's that then. Off to watch some Breaking Bad. Has anyone seen El Camino?

Good night!

Have you tried any brands that were hyped up but failed to impress you?

My first @milkmakeup products were, unfortunately, a bit of a let down.

The Sunshine Skin Tint is a lovely formula and I really wish I could still use it but the packaging is completely stuffed. It's a click pen with a roller ball dispenser and it has stopped working. I can't get any product out.

The Kush Mascara just smudged all around my eyes.

The Kush brow gel is good but nothing ground breaking and not as good as the Surratt pomade.

So unless I am in a store where I can try before I buy I don't think I will be going out of my way to buy any more Milk stuff.

You win some, you lose some hey? 🤣

I'm hitting the pause button on any purchases of skincare and makeup for the rest of the year (unless it is to replace something). I did a big clear out last night and I don't even want to admit to the amount of expired product I disposed of. In all honesty, I felt sick.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, my policy is simple. Once all products in a category are used up, I am allowed to buy a replacement. It's not going to be easy, and I will check in with you every few weeks. I'm looking forward to the challenge and to the different types of content I can create with what I already have. :)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Have you ever gone on a no buy challenge?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
