JUNE EMPTIES

Hey guys, i hope you are all enjoying your day! For the last few months now i have been sharing with you some of the products that i have used up and giving you my opinion on them, whether i would purchase them again or not etc. So i thought i would do this sort of post regularly (once a month or so)...

Skin Therapy Dry Skin Facial Wipes.

I mentioned earlier this week in my June Favourites post how obsessed with these i had become and as you can see i have already gone through two packets. They are only 75p for 25 wipes and i would definitely buy them again and i already have got my hands on another four packets to stock up.

Dove Dry Shampoo.

I love this dry shampoo, i always used to be a Batiste girl and when i first tried out this one from Dove i wasn't too sure but then i grew to love it. I have already repurchased this item.

L'Oreal Lumi Magique Base Primer.

This is my go to primer i just love everything about it. It is definitely a great primer for you if you love that dewy/glowing looking skin and is very similar to MAC strobe cream but obviously a lot more affordable. I have already repurchased this about three times and i need to again soon. At the moment i have been trying out the L'Oreal Nude Magique Blur Cream.

L'Oreal True Match Foundation.

I go on about this foundation way too much but it is just that good. It lasts all day and gives a really nice coverage/finish (i am now on my third bottle). The only thing i hate is it looks like there is product left but you can't pump any more out and i can't undo the lid.

Beauticology Chocolate Cupcake Shower Gel.

I had mentioned in my favourites the Vanilla Frosting hand cream i had been using and this shower gel was also part of the set. I ended up using this shower gel with one shower as i didn't think it was going to be a runny as it was and i ended up pouring out most of the bottle by accident. I don't think i would purchase this again i will stick to my faithful The Body Shop shower gel's although this did smell amazing.

The Body Shop Satsuma Hand Gel.

I buy these over and over again as they smell so good and are so handy to just carry around in your handbag if you need it (i always need it being the germaphobe i am).

Rimmel Stay Matte Powder.

There really isn't much to say about this powder except for it is the best powder ever. I have probably been buying this powder ever since i have been wearing makeup, it's that good i always keep a back up.

The Body Shop Shower Gel.

Surprise, surprise another shower gel from The Body Shop. They have been in every single empties blog post i have done, i will try a different brand one day...i promise!

MAY EMPTIES

Hey guys, hope you are all having a great day whatever you are up to! So for the past few months now i have been sharing with you some of the products that i have actually all used up. Some of the items are recurring favourites and some are of things that i either liked but wouldn't try again and some i would never use again...

Tresemmé Keratin Smooth 60 second treatment.

I mentioned this product in my last empties blog post as well as a couple of other favourite's blog posts, i use this 60 second treatment once a week after my normal shampoo and conditioning routine. I keep stocking up on them as they are so inexpensive.

Tresemmé Keratin Smooth restore and control shampoo.

I purchased this travel size version of my current shampoo to take away with me whilst travelling. I just can't give enough credit to Tresemmé for their Keratin range, they have changed my hairs life! I have also recently started using the Keratin 7 day heat activated treatment which i am going to talk more about in a separate blog post coming soon.

Collection 16 Hour Lasting Perfection concealer in Light.

I have used this up to the point where it looks like there is still some product yet you can't get any out. This is one of those well loved concealers (as you can tell by the state of the packaging) that one will always be in my makeup collection as it is such good coverage.

Boots Botanics Cleansing face wipes.

For the longest time i have been sticking to the Nivea facial wipes and i really wanted to try something different, these were on offer at Boots for around £1.70ish i think and they are usually £3.49. I really didn't like anything about these which is a disappointment as the Botanics range is usually pretty good, i found the wipes to be really drying, didn't really remove any makeup off and they didn't smell that great. In the end i just used these for wiping any makeup i got on my hands, i wouldn't repurchase these again.

T-Zone Nose Pore strips.

I don't think i have ever really spoken about pore strips in a post before, the T-Zone ones are the only ones that i have ever tried that i can actually tell a difference afterwards with. So i never bother trying out any other brands but this one as i know i will be disappointed. Another bonus is they are so inexpensive at not even £2 for 6 nose strips.

Clarins HydraQuench moisturizing cream.  

I have mentioned previously that i wanted to change up my skincare products so i had been trying out the Clarins HydraQuench Introductory Collection which had smaller sized products in so i could just give them a try without spending too much money on something in case i didn't like it. I love this moisturizer so much and i am so sad that it has all gone, i just don't know whether it is worth spending the £35 for the full sized when i have also been enjoying a Clinique one also.

The Body Shop satsuma shower gel.

If i could marry a shower gel (which i have just realized sounds really creepy) then i would marry this shower gel, in fact all of The Body Shop shower gels, they all just smell so great!

Soap and Glory scrub of your life.

Previously i was a huge fan of Soap and Glory and then i got back into using The Body Shop products but just lately i have fell back in love with Soap and Glory. I have about 6 of these smaller sized body scrubs in my possession left from gift sets at Christmas, so i have yet to buy a full sized one. I love everything about it the smell, the way it leaves your skin feeling super soft and a great exfoliate before fake tanning.

Hope you all have an amazing weekend, whatever you have planned!

   

APRIL EMPTIES

It's been a little over a month since i last did an empties blog post, so seeing as i have used up some more products i thought i would share my thoughts. Some are daily basics and some aren't...

L'Oreal Elnett Satin heat protecting spray.

In the past i have tried out so many different heat protectors, whether they are cheaper drugstore versions or higher end salon brands but non compare to this one I LOVE IT! The thing i hate about some heat protectors they tend to leave dried product on my straightener plates which is a nightmare to get off, this one doesn't do this at all.

Nivea gentle facial cleansing wipes in dry and sensitive skin.

I always purchase different facial wipes but then go back to these as i never like any other brands as much as these. They smell great, remove makeup well and doesn't dry my skin out. I have already repurchased and i will continue to over and over again, they are my holy grail face wipes.

Nspa Toner spray.

I have already repurchased this item as i love the fact it is in a spray bottle rather than having to use extra cotton pads, it's just so refreshing on my skin.

The Body Shop Vitamin E night cream.

I got this in a small sampler size just to try out, i liked the product i think it did it's job but there was nothing that made me think wow about it. I thought i would because i love the Cream Cleanser from this range.

No7 Exquisite Curl mascara in black.

I really liked this mascara, not for the top lashes but for my bottom lashes. The wand just seemed to work so well on them. I am not sure i will repurchase though as i just think there is so many better mascaras out there.

Tresemme Keratin Smooth 60 second treatment.

I mentioned these in my previous blog post about how much i liked them. I like to use one of these once a week after my usual shampoo and conditioner routine, i have found that it really helps my hair to straighten a lot easier after using it as my hair can be a nightmare to get completely straight with it being curly. 

The Body Shop honey mania shower gel.

I don't think i will use a different kind of shower gel again except for The Body Shop ones, i love them! The honey scent is also a top favourite, it smells so good! 

Garnier Mineral 5 protection deodorant.

I usually use the roll on deodorant by Garnier but i seen this one was new when out shopping and thought i would give it a try. I really like it as it actually does as it says. I have already repurchased.

Hope you all had an amazing weekend and are having a happy monday!

TRIED IT OUT TUESDAY: EMPTIES

There is always something satisfying about finishing a product, whether it is because you loved the product so much that you can't wait to repurchase or you are just glad to have used it up.
Here are some of the products that i have used up recently...

Batiste Dry Shampoo in the floral and flirty blush scent.

Batiste is definitely the dry shampoo of choice for me as it really does the job well but i don't think i would repurchase this particular scent again, when i bought this particular one it was because they didn't have my favourite scent (oriental).

Clean & Clear morning energy daily facial scrub.

I love love loved this facial scrub and i have already repurchased this item. I like to use it in the morning time as it really does as it says makes me feel awake and refreshed.

NSPA nourishing eye and lip treatment.

I have a love/hate relationship with this lip balm, it says it can be used under the eyes but i never used it for that, i just used it as a lip balm. It really did its job by re-hydrating my lips but i hated the consistency. I don't think i would re purchase this item as i feel there is so many better quality products available.

Nivea gentle facial cleansing wipes in dry and sensitive skin.

I always purchase different facial wipes but then go back to these as i never like any other brands as much as these. They smell great, remove makeup well and doesn't dry my skin out. I have already repurchased.

L'Oreal gentle eye makeup remover.

This is the third or forth time i had repurchased this eye makeup remover as for a long time it was my go to holy grail item but i had found a better remover which i preferred over this one. I don't think i will repurchase this one anymore.

Impulse body spray in into glamour.

I love impulse body sprays and the majority of them smell really nice but i would have to say this is my favourite scent hands down and i will continue to repurchase this one over and over.

The Body Shop vitamin e cream cleanser.

I mentioned this cream cleanser in my February Favourites blog post previously, i got this small size in a gift with purchase set from The Body Shop and i am obsessed with it. So if you are looking for a really great cleanser i definitely recommend this one. I have already purchased the full size.

L'Oreal mega volume collagene 24hr mascara in black smoke.

I have mentioned this mascara in so many blog posts previously, i am obsessed with this mascara. It doesn't only just give volume to my lashes it really gives them length, i just love everything about it. I have a couple of other mascaras to use up first and then i am going to repurchase this one without a doubt.

What products have you been using up lately?
