Products I've Used Up #1

I seem to have never done a empties post on this blog, and If I did then I can't seem to find it..so I thought I would start doing them from now on. I don't use up a lot of products up very often, but I do try to get through some. These posts won't be monthly by any means as I don't seem to remember to keep empty products after I have finished with them! I find that these posts give you a little review about each product and whether or not you will be buying it again.

Boots Deodorant // This was a impromptu purchase a while ago now, when I desperately needed some new deodorant I picked up the cheapest one I could find! Long story short, I ended up using it all the time and used it up, I am very sensitive to some deodorants and this was made for people like me who react to stuff!

Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer // Well, its about time this finished! You can hardly see the packaging on this thing as it has all been rubbed off, I have been using this for months and treasuring every moment until it runs out and I think the time has come to go out and buy another one. I love this concealer and don't have a clue what I would do without it.

Soap&Glory Scrub em and Leave em // This is a mini soap and glory scrub that I bought to try out and I loved using it every week as it left my skin feeling uber soft and thoroughly foliated. 

La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo Sample // I got this sample through the post a while back, and tried my best to use it in moderation to see if it works. And for me it really didn't! Maybe I need to use it for a  little longer or something, so I tried my best to use it up quickly!

Alberto Balsam Shampoo //  This was my previous favourite shampoo that I loved to death, but I found that when I had come to finishing it that it wasn't the best for my hair! It made it very greasy very quickly and I had to constantly wash my hair again and again. 

Witch Anti Blemish Stick // Ahhh! I am crying over the fact that this blemish stick has finished. I bought it out of the blue to try it out and I cannot believe that I have fallen in love with it, whenever I had a spot that was coming out I used this to help with the breakout and boy did it help me loads! 

T-Zone Rapid Action Gel // Another blemish breakout treatment that I started to use when the witch stick eventually ran out. This is a very thick and watery gel that you spread on your breakout area and it helps with spots within 4 hours. I found it best to apply this at night and when I woke up I saw such a difference it was amazing and I will be re purchasing some products from this range.

Nivea Express Primer // I love this primer for my skin, there will be a review coming soon as I have just recently bought another one which I showed in a haul last week. This primer is something I use everyday with my moisturiser sometimes and sometimes without. I have to use this under my makeup everyday and it helps so much with the longevity of my makeup and I cannot live without it. 

Soap&Glory Righteous Butter //  Another soap and glory product that I have fallen in love with and used up far too quickly. This is one of their many body butters that I wanted to try before buying and I am very glad I did as it has helped through the winter months with all my dry skin and especially on the elbows.

That is that for my first ever empties post, hope you enjoyed!

October Favourites ♥

First of all I would like to apologise for not doing a September Favourites, there wasn't a great deal of new things or even old things that I had been loving that month so I thought instead of boring you guys I would just leave that month out! However, I have got some October Favourites to share with you and my oh my is there a range of them!

First up skincare, I have been loving both these things from Nivea this month as I suffer from really bad dry skin in the autumn and winter months. So these have been my skin care saviours! The Nivea lotion for me is great to use on my legs, arms and body as it really nourishes my skin and leaves it feeling silky soft all day long. The pink tub, is there hydration express primer and holy moly I am in love with it. There will be a full review coming up on this but for now let me just tell you that this primer works so well at keeping my make up on my face all day; but it also helps with the dry patches and gives them love so that my foundation doesn't appear flaky and patchy.

Another skincare saviour this month, has to be the Tea Tree oil from Superdrug, I used a little bit of this on a cotton round every night for a week to soothe and calm down my breakouts. Not only did it help with the redness and spots, but it also helped with the scaring I have from previous breakouts. The scent can be very intimidating for some and was for me at first, but after a few tries and go's with it you just become immune to it.

Then for the more beauty items, I have been loving the body shop oil control powder. I have used this nearly everyday on my face over the bb cream I am currently using and it has such a nice finish and works well with my other products to give me a long lasting finish. A nail polish that has to be mentioned in this months favourites is 'Black Cherries' by Rimmel, I haven't stopped reapplying this on my toes since the start of the month, even though it lasts for ages I like to redo the colour as a touch up. It is a lovely deep purple with a slight hint of black in it. For school I have been loving both these lip products equally as they both give my everyday look some natural glow. The baby lips is in 'Peach Kiss' and the Party Proof lipstick in 'Kitty' are both nudes, the party proof one is more of a pinky nude then the other which is a brown nude. Both of these give my lips some colour during the day and complete my whole face.

 

Here are the more random favourites for this month - starting off with food! I have been craving these Caramel Snack A Jack's all month, they are the perfect sweet treat when you want something sweet and sugary yet is very healthy for you. I like to eat these on their own as well as with a spread of peanut butter on top - heaven on a plate.

This months music favourite has to be from The Vamps and their song 'Can We Dance', I only really heard this song a few weeks back and since then have completely fallen in love with it and the band its self to be honest. The song is very catchy and great to get into a good mood on one of those days..

Something else that I have been loving these weekend is the new series that Khila a.k.a 'MissBudgetBeauty' has started on her vlog channel. For those of you who don't know who she is then.. where have you been? Khila is a mum to two, with a vlog, blog and beauty channel! She has just finished doing Vlogtober and I have been loving one of the videos as part of her 'Khila Talks' series which is where she does like a chat show with other youtubers and bloggers about life! The one I have been loving is about Time Management, and I really learnt a few things from that video. 

If you haven't heard of Khila before or never seen her videos or even blog posts then I highly recommend you do so!
