Empties #3

 I love doing an empties post because it means I can finally get rid of all the empty bottles I've been hoarding in my room for this purpose so the time has come where I finally have enough finished products to share with you!

It's been a long time since I last done an empties post so I have two deodorants that I've used up which are both by Soft & Gentle because they're my favourite brand for deodorants. I don't really look for much in deodorant other than it smells nice and these ones have lots of different scents and they always smell gorgeous so thats why I always pick them.

Shampoo and conditioner wise I have used up another Mane n Tail shampoo which is amazing for hair growth. I have stopped using it for the meantime though because I have long hair already and I have other shampoos to use up first. I have also used up the Tresemme Split Remedy shampoo and conditioner because my hair is very split endy and long overdue a cut. That being said I don't think they did anything to help split ends, once they're there they're there to stay! (wasn't that a mouthful..)

My deep conditioner that I've been using is Aussie's 3 minute miracle deep conditioner because this smells absolutely amazing and leaves my hair really soft and easy to brush. I would definitely repurchase this again when I need a new deep conditioner.

Obviously over Christmas I was using the amazing Snow Fairy shower gel because it isn't Christmas without snow fairy! Can you tell it's been lying on its side in my 'empties bag' for a long while? I always repurchase this at Christmas time because it has the most gorgeous scent.

I've used up two foundations since I last done an empties, my favourite ever L'Oreal True Match and Rimmel Wake Me Up. As much as I love Wake Me Up, I've since found a new favourite so for the time being I won't be repurchasing but it still is a fab foundation that I might go back to in the future. Of course I have already repurchased True Match because it is my holy grail foundation.

I got this body butter when I was on holiday in Italy and it is amazing on skin thats either sunburnt or just hot from being in the sun all day. Another thing this ones good for is rubbing on your feet after a long day because the aloe vera in it seems to just cool and relax the skin. Next time I'm abroad I may well purchase this because it was lovely but I have plenty of other amazing body butters so wouldn't ship it over from Sephora specially.

This will be the first ever empty fragrance that has made it to one of these posts, in fact one of the very few perfume bottles that I've actually ever got to the bottom of. River Island Paris is such a gorgeous scent and it's obviously really affordable too because it's from the high street. I love this perfume so much that I already have a refill on the go. It is my favourite scent in Summer time and I wore this non stop during first year of uni and when I had just turned 18 so it reminds me of going out and nights out.

I've used up my bottle of St Tropez tan which I loved. This gives such a gorgeous glow, smells and feels amazing on the skin. As much as I love this though I probably wouldn't buy it again unless it was for a special occasion/on offer because St Moritz is a pretty good dupe for it.

My big bottle of Bioderma has now ran out, I use this every night to take off my make-up and it works like a dream. I do love this but again have found a cheaper alternative to take my make up off with so probably won't go back to this. 

My beloved La Roche Posay finally died after a long successful life. I love this product, it's a gem and I would 100% recommend this to anybody struggling with their skin whether its redness or spots this will definitely make an improvement. I wouldn't think twice about repurchasing this if my skin gets troublesome again but its done such a good job that I don't even need it anymore.

I hope you enjoyed getting an insight into my empty products and the reasons on why I will or will not be repurchasing them, What products have you used up recently? Have you tried any of these ones?

Lots of Love,

March || Favourites

It literally feels like only last week that I was writing my February favourites, the months are flying by but I'm extremely pleased that the clocks have gone forward and we now have much lighter evenings and are officially in British Summertime!

My first favourite this month is my River Island Paris perfume. It's really fresh and light, has floral hints to it, dark amber and vanilla which on paper isn't my type of perfume but it actually makes a stunning combination. I love that the bottle looks very Chanel and that the liquid inside is a pink shade. Plus this only costs £12 for 75ml so it's very affordable and although it isn't the most long lasting smell because it's cheap I don't mind topping it up two/three times a day. It's the perfect Spring scent because of how fresh it is and for me it reminds me of university and going out because its the scent I wore all the time when I started uni. 

I have been loving my L'Oreal lipsticks especially my Eva one because it's such a pretty shade and it is in the most elegant packaging that I've ever seen from the drug store. I've done a full review post on my L'oreal lipsticks with swatches here if you want to see them in detail.

 My cleanser love this month has been the ESPA optimal skin pro cleanser and this is just a sample size so I'm dreading it running out because it's quite expensive to replace. It has jobaba spheres in it which exfoliate and then melt on your face and it also has pumpkin enzymes to dissolve dull cells and leave skin radiant and healthy. It is a tri-phase cleanser because it has moringa seed in it to cleanse and remove make-up. I love this (and hate it because I love it and will need to buy a big size) it makes my skin feel incredible, it's so soft after using this and visibly looks brighter and healthier.

My new haircare item that I've fallen in love with is this Tigi S Factor Silky Smooth Moisture Serum. From the minute I first tried this I knew it would be in my favourites, it smells incredible like watermelon and apple and it also feels super silky and soft. To use this you squirt a pump onto your hands and rub them together then spread the serum through the ends of your hair. It left my hair soft, not at all greasy- I use this every day and still only have to wash my hair twice a week. I am obsessed with this, is it sad that I look forward to using this every day? Probably.. If you are on the hunt for a new serum then this is the one girls! 

I showed this palette in my recent Make-Up Revolution haul and it's no surprise that it has been the only palette I have reached for since I got it a few months back. It contains so many colours that I just haven't got bored of it yet, I adore the golds, browns, coppers, pinks and purple shimmers but it also has a good selection of matte shades for blending out and putting through the crease. If I was buying someone a starter kit or I could only have one eyeshadow palette I think I would chose this because it just has everything you could ever need. It is of course super pigmented and long lasting although I always pair it up with an eye primer. 

What products did you love during March?
