Empties #1

Happy Wednesday everyone! I have a new kind of post for you today - I've never done an empties post before, but new(ish) year means new ideas for Bee's Knees! Here are the products I've used up recently.

I finished up my Biore Pore Unclogging Scrub which I don't think I will be repurchasing. You can read my review of it HERE. I only bought it originally because it was on offer. Although it does give my skin a lovely tingly feeling I have moved back to a Good Things scrub which I prefer.

This Colonial Home candle was mentioned in December's post on Christmas Candles on the Cheap. I've been burning this at least once a week for two years and it's only just finished - incredible value! My boyfriend bought me a set of two Yankee candles for Christmas so I will be using those up before repurchasing from this brand.

My Soap & Glory Feel Good Factor moisturiser will definitely be repurchased. I posted a review of it HERE - it's perfect for wearing under make up and sinks into the skin beautifully. I'm trying to use up a Liz Earle sample I have but then I'll be going back to S&G.

I can't believe I never posted about Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh. I love this perfume, it's fun, floral and a lighter version than Daisy. I would repurchase this in a heartbeat but I became a little bored of it and my Mum bought me Dot for my birthday instead.

I've had this S&G Butter Up body smoothing cream for ages - I think I got it for Christmas in a set a while back but I've only just used it up! Not an amazing, ground-shaking body moisturiser but it smelt nice and did the job. I wouldn't repurchase (& I think this has been discontinued anyway) - I have a million and one body moisturisers to get through!

Finally, an honourable mention to this Nivea 'Invisible' deoderant, which is amazing. It really is invisible & doesn't mark white or black clothes. I have already repurchased this and would recommend it to anyone.

I Want Never Gets... Sunglasses

Frustratingly this post was supposed to be up yesterday, as my IWNG posts are a Wednesday series but my internet was playing up and I've only been able to get online today! I'm now back from my lush little escape away to Sherwood Forest, and have a few more days off before I have to return to London and real life on Sunday.

Anyway, this might seem like an odd IWNG post for this time of year, but I am a big fan of shielding my eyes from the winter sun with some stylish sunglasses! Here are my favourites..

I think Raybans are the single most famous sunglasses brand out there, and they have that status for a reason! There are so many Rayban pairs on my wishlist that I'd love to own! These massive oversized ones are perfect for everyday wear in winter as the brown hues tone down the look to balance out the huge rims! £100 from red hot sunglasses. Click!

Some more Raybans, but this time the ever popular Wayfarer frames. My boyfriend owns a pair of these and I steal them at every possible opportunity. They're a nice shape for most faces and in this tortoiseshell print would be a classic, chic choice for this winter. £105 Click!

The final pair of Raybans, I promise! Here are the aviator shades that are guaranteed to make anyone look like a Hollywood star! There's just something about aviators that I adore - my Dad had a pair when I was little and I always thought he looked like the coolest Dad (oh dear, shouldn't be name dropping my Dad on my blog, woops!). These are £105 from red hot sunglasses. Click!

Now for something a little different, how fun are these shades from Marc Jacobs?! If you're a long time reader of Bee's Knees you'll know that I am a huge fan of the brand, and their sunglasses are no exception! A little braver compared to my other choices, these blue frames would make a real statement in the summer or the winter. £105 Click!

Last but certainly not least, as I think these are currently my favourite pair of sunnies... these gorgeous, classic shades are by Michael Kors and I love the cat eye shape! They're massive and oversized, tortoiseshell and just perfect. I can't pick any faults, I want them so badly! If only I had a spare £155 lying around. Click!

Do you wear sunglasses in the winter? Which is your favourite pair?
