Empties #4


Empties #4

The weirdest thing about having a blog is that I keep things that I have used up just so I can give you the 411 on how they were, if i would get them again and if they were amazing or not. 

Since finishing this I have bought another two bottles to keep me stocked up as I love this micellar water. It doesn't react with my skin, removes all my makeup and my skin feels refreshed afterwards. You can read a in-depth review here
For the past few months i have had some awful knee joint pains and neck pains and everything and anything has been put on both the areas to see if it helps. The only thing that has helped ease the pain at night and help me sleep is this rollerball, applying a thin layer cools the area down and makes life a lot easier.
I wanted to finish the wash as quick as possible because I found another one that is even better. This face wash is amazing and does the job of cleaning your face thoroughly, however the price of all freederm products is really off putting  and for that reason alone I wouldn't repurchase it but also because you can find way better ones for half the price. 
I still to do this haven't written a full review on this product and god knows why not because I can't say anything bad about it! This primer lasts all day, has spf in it making it amazing for the summer, and the weird texture at first is hard to use but afterwards it sinks into the skin and gives you a base for your makeup. I need to buy this again on my next trip to the shops!
Pixi Glow Tonic (full size £18.00)
This was a little sample I received in the LIB Summer box and after hearing a lot of people rave about this wonder tonic, and on twitter during chats on a sunday about skincare I always see this product coming up. So when it came in the box I just had to try it! I went through the little bottle within two/three days and loved using it on my skin. It didn't react like I thought it would because of it been quite harsh and my skin got a double clean. One day when I can justify it I will be buying the full bottle version.
Looking at the bottle of this foundation it looks like there is a lot of product left in, but there isn't *emoji crying face* the pump has given up on me and won't give me anything else and the bottle doesn't open to even scrape it out. Which is very very annoying. Since it running out I have bought another bottle that is a shade darker due to my summer glow and have missed the original formula after using the matte one for so long. If you are looking for a foundation that is lightweight, amazing coverage but not to pricey then this is the one for you.


That's it for this months empties! What products have you used up recently?

Empties #3

Empties

I am the worst at finishing up products, hence why there aren't many empties post on here. I can never seem to stick to one item of makeup or skincare or body and then only use that continuously, until i run out. I like to switch things up and make it a bit more exciting, which then leaves me baffled when youtubers upload empties videos like every month?? How do you use things up so quickly?? It's  beyond me! Anywho.. let's see what I've got through!

Garnier Ultra Dry Deodorant // This is my handbag hero, I love keeping this my bag to use when I am on the go. It isn't scented and doesn't leave any white marks so I love using it! 

Clean & Clear Dual Action Moisturiser // This is a product that I do use up quickly due to it being something that I use every single day! I love the way this helps with oil control, breakouts and minimises the appearance of blackheads. It also isn't very thick, so doesn't take forever to sink into my skin on a morning or night and then I can get on with the rest of my face application. 

Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Wash // Ahhhh, just thinking about this is making me imagine the smell that this soap has when I use it. It is super citrus and strong but even though it sounds very heavy, it smells heavenly and is so luxurious to say you don't pay very much. I was scared of using this at first because of my skin being super sensitive and this been filled with citrus, but my skin doesn't react with it at all! 

VO5 Smoothly Does It // I am always changing and switching up the shampoo I use because I find that my hair gets too used to a product and then doesn't do the job it is meant to be doing. This one however, is one that I can use all the time and my hair loves! It helps with frizz reduction and makes it easier to keep my hair straighter for much longer. I recently however picked up another one from VO5, so looking forward to trying that out!

Quinoderm 10 Spot Treatment // Where do I even start with this? This product is that long term spot treatment that you need in your life. If you are a spot sufferer like me and get them regularly, then buying this will make your life a lot easier, the smallest amount will go such a long way. I apply it at night and get the slightest little bit of a burning sensation when I first put it on, and then it dies down and settles. 

NYC Foundation // I loved this in the summer on those lazy days because of the formula being super light, but wouldn't use it again because the packaging it annoying. You can't get all the bits of the foundation out through the pump, it just stops? So, now I am left with a big section of product and no way of using it.

L'Oreal True Match // When I ran out of this, I actually shed a tear. An actual tear. Water and everything. This is something that I cannot now live without, the formula, texture, lasting power - just everything it claims to do - it does. Love, love, love and more love. 

Collection Cosmetics Concealer // Haha, if this isn't in an empties then we can't call it an empties post! Will always swear by this concealer and won't use anything else because of the amazing job that it does! 



Empties #2

Empties
Another Empties post! I know have a little section in my room that it dedicated to collect the products I have used up! Let's go before we are here all day!
Bourjous Nail Polish Remover // I am depressed that I have finished this pot of fantasticness! I use this all the time to remove my nail polish and need to buy another pot as it is making my life easier and now harder without having it in my life.
Simple Moisturiser// I love this cream for my skin as it is very gentle, but I tried my best to use this up as quick as possible because I find that in the summer it is too heavy to have on and my makeup wont' sit properly. 
Skin Therapy Scrub // I have already repurchased this because it really is that great, from the range that is available at Wilkinsons their cleansing scrub is great to use everyday or even every now and then because it feels great on the skin and removes all the nasty things that starts to build up. 
Tesco Nail Polish Remover// Now you can see I haven't used this up and the reason is because I hated it!! I can't even express how much it bothers me that I have had to keep it until now to show you because the formula of it is horrible and takes ages to remove your nail polish off your hands and it stinks really bad. 
Tresemme Shampoo// Another shampoo bottle because it is something that every girl uses up really quickly, this one for all hair types has been my favourite for such a long time but I wanted to try a new one for the summer so finished it quickly so that I can try more. 
Simple BB Cream// There is a full review of this on my blog so I won't go into much detail but I think that this is amazing for everyday wear. 
Collection Concealer// I am sure that this will be in my empties post quite a lot because I use this bottle of magic up so quickly and the packaging on this one looks awful because all of the writing has rubbed off as well as it exploding in my draw.
Witch BB Cream// Another product that I have hated since I bought it! I love Witch skincare products and had such high hopes for this BB cream but it really disappointed me as the colour is really off the texture is bad bad bad as it feels like glue on your skin. hate it so much!
Benefit Porefressional// A small sample of love. I loved using this Benefit primer and nothing compares to it, maybe one day I will justify paying the full price for a bottle but whilst I can afford I will stick to buying small samples. 
Makeup Wipes// As you can see there are several packets of wipes here because I like to use them daily. Yes, I know that it a big no no in the beauty world but they work perfectly for me and I will carry on using them no matter what anyone says. 

 

Products I've Used Up #2

Products I've Used Up #2
After my the amazing response to my first Products I've Used Up post. I decided to carry on collecting the products I have finished and talk about them again. 
- Tresemme Shampoo|| Love this shampoo so much, and since finishing I have bought another one that I hauled about. I hardly ever repurchase shampoos because I am really funny with them, some are great for my hair and some make my hair look awful! But this one is amazing.
- Superdrug Nail Polish Remover|| Just a simple and cheap remover that I used up! Nothing to really say..
- Oval Cosmetic Pads|| Life is so much easier if you use oval shaped cotton pads, they really help with removing all your makeup and are way easier to use than round ones.
- Primark Face Wipes|| I didn't have very high hopes for these wipes, but the two sided thing made me fall in love! These cucumber wipes come with an exfoilating side and a normal side, doing two jobs for you in one easy step.
-Batiste Dry Shampoo|| I decided to try out a small dry shampoo bottle first, before committing to a big one. And I have! Love this stuff for lazy hair days and for extra volume. 
- Natural Collection+Maybelline Colour Show Top Coat|| Both are my favourite drug store top coats, because of the price and the quality! They are amazing and I have used up every single drop.
-Natural Collection Concealer||Finally I finished this up! I love using NC products but for some reason my skin and this product don't seem to be getting along very well recently! 
- MUA BB Cream|| At first I loved this product and would really rave about it! But then suddenly I hated it, it broke me out everywhere on my cheeks (still suffering now!) and also didn't sit very well on the skin. It was however the perfect shade match for me, which is a shame. 


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.
Products I've Used Up #1
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!
