Are you someone who suffers from occasional muscle aches and pains? Whether it's from a tough workout, long hours sitting at a desk, or just the general wear and tear of life, muscle tension can be a real drag. Today, I'm reviewing the Elemis Musclease Active Body Oil, a product designed to target those aches and pains and bring some relief.

 Let's delve into the treasures that have captured my heart and elevated my everyday routine in the month of January 2024. 

January 2024 favorites

Hello, lovely readers! Another month has whizzed by, and as we bid adieu to October, it's time for our monthly roundup of emptied beauty products. From haircare to skincare, this month's empties include some gems, a dud or two, and a couple of surprises. Let's dive into the beauty bin and explore the hits, misses, and everything in between!

October empties

I am happy to report my progress for the month of August. I feel I did a good job with emptying quite a few products. So here is what I finished off. 

August 2022 empties

I don't notice stark differences in sheet masks. For me, they are a source of hydration and moisturizing my face. However, this Tony Moly sheet mask was exceptionally good. I could literally feel the collagen plumping my skin and the after glow was noticeable. 

2. Go-To skincare exfoliating swipeys

These are exfoliating pads cum chemical peel swabs which came in my boxycharm premium box. I have already reviewed them. You can read my detailed review here. 

 3. Art Deco mineral powder 

I have been meaning to do a full fledge review on this product when I started using this product. Then I got distracted and busy and kept putting it off that I shall take pictures one day and then review the powder. Then the brand shut down in Pakistan and I felt what's the point? Anyhow, there was a time when I considered this powder to be an amazing for setting makeup but as I progressed in my makeup exposure, I realized, no, its quite an average product. Despite being average, it was for Rs. 1800 years back. It fails to keep the makeup matte. I can do without this powder and my face will end up looking dewy and oily just like it does when this powder is applied to my face. I will not suggest anyone opting for this powder. Glad I am done with it. 

4. Pigeon Breast Pads 

Man, this product needs a separate review post, which I am going to do in this month Inshallah. Finding the right breast pads for myself has been a journey. There is so little awareness around maternity products and breastfeeding, its a literal struggle. These are the best breast pads right now in the market that come in the most affordable price tag. I am on my box 2 now and I swear by these. Never have I had a visible leak with these on. 

5. Tresemme sulphate free shampoo 

I am not a Tresemme fan. Infact I blame the brand for my early greys. I reviewed one of their shampoos almost a decade back which I doubted was greying my hair. When I googled, turned out, I wasn't wrong. Still I purchased this shampoo as it was sulphate free and I had gotten keratin done so this was an affordable sulphate free shampoo. Other than that, its a pretty average off the shelf daily shampoo. 

6. Gilette Pro sensitive skin shaving foam 

My go to product for shaving in the shower.
