Another month another empties post! I wasn’t actually going to do this
for another few weeks but my box was overflowing so thought I’d go ahead and
post!
Bodycare
Eucerin Intensive Lotion
I talked about this in a products I’m loving post here as it is the
BEST thing for dry, itchy legs! I had random eczema patches on my legs a few
years ago and this was the only thing that helped so I like to have a bottle of
it to hand at all times! Already repurchased!
Nivea Caring Shower Cream Indulging
Moisture Cocoa*
This shower cream featured in this post I did about the shower gels I currently have on rotation. Its creamy, moisturising and smells like cocoa!
Cocoa isn’t my favourite scent but I love Nivea shower gels and already have
another of their scents in my stash!
Cocoa Brown Tough Stuff 3 in 1 Body
Scrub
I haven’t had the best of luck with Cocoa Brown products unfortunately,
the first bottle of tan I bought had a aerosol type pump for the mousse tan and
broke off halfway through the bottle so I couldn’t finish it and this scrub I
won in a giveaway was really runny and didn’t lather up so I ended up using it
up very quickly! It’s pink in colour and I love the smell of it, it’s the same
as the tan with the Tahititan scent but I wouldn’t purchase it for myself as I
didn’t find it that effective.
Soap and Glory The Righteous Butter
This shows up quite a lot in my empties post as its one of my
favourite moisturisers. It’s rich, hydrating and dries in quickly. I love the
smell of it and it’s so handy that it comes in a tub as you don’t waste any of
the product when you are coming to the end of it! Already got a backup!
Skincare
Nuxe Gentle Toning Lotion for Face and Eyes
I bought this last year in this haul as I wanted a toner that was
alcohol free and so I wouldn’t go through my Glow Tonic so quickly. This is
rose scented but it didn’t irritate my skin and I ended up being really
impressed with it. It didn’t dry out my skin and I would definitely purchase
again in the future.
Soap and Glory Speed Plump All-Day Super
Moisture Marvel
I really liked this too even though I’m not the bniggest fan of Soap
and Glory skincare (much prefer their makeup and bodycare range) It’s light and
hydrating and sinks into the skin quickly leaving a nice base for makeup or
primer. I would definitely repurchase this again in the future and I want to
try the night time version too at some point!
Cult 51 Immediate Effects Serum and Night
Cream*
I don’t normally include sachets in my empties as I don’t get enough
uses out of them but I was sent 3 of these and they have lasted me ages as it’s
an eye serum. It’s a lovely light gel like serum and I have found since using
it nightly from around January the skin around my eyes is a lot smoother and I have
less white bumps under my eyes. I don’t have many wrinkles so can’t say much
for that and as it’s so expensive I won’t be repurchasing just yet but will
definitely keep it in mind for the future when I do need more help! The night
cream cropped up here and I love how it feels, it’s really hydrating, sinks in
quickly and makes my skin so soft. Unfortunately it's £125 for the full size so
I won’t be repurchasing but it was lovely while it lasted L
Emma Hardie Amazing Face Moringa
Cleansing Balm
I love this and talked about it in more detail here but basically it’s
the most luxurious cleanser ever and so effective at getting makeup off (including
eye makeup!) I already have a backup but I’m going to try to use a few others
up before opening!
Cowshed Lippy Cow Natural Lip Balm
I got this in a beauty box ages ago and while I love the orangey smell,
it wasn’t long lasting enough on my lips overnight so I wouldn’t
repurchase!
Caudalie Polyphenol Anti-Wrinkle Defense
Serum
This was a super tiny sample that again I got in a beauty box but I was
only able to get a few uses out of it. It was nice and light but I couldn’t see
any difference, I have a slightly larger sample from another beauty box I’m
using at the minute but doubt I would repurchase!
Haircare
VO5 Plump it Up Dry Shampoo
This is another regular feature in my empties, I love this stuff! I
have a more in-depth review here but basically it leaves no white cast, smells
lovely and is really affordable!
L’Oreal Elnett Satin Hairspray Extra Strength
I love having these size hairsprays and I think I got this in a beauty box
too. I prefer hairspray with hold so probably wouldn’t repurchase as I think
this is more of a finishing spray although it was lovely and lightweight and
brushed out easily!
Makeup
Rimmel Lasting Finish Skin Perfecting
Primer
I've written about this in another post here as I was so impressed with
it. It’s a white cream that really made my makeup sit better and last longer
and it’s so affordable. I will repurchase in the future but have too many
primers to go through at the minute so will be trying to make my way through them first!
NYX HD Concealer
I love this stuff and this is my second tube. It’s creamy, lightweight and
gives such good coverage! I already have a backup in the same colour which I
have started using but they seem to have changed their shade range so it’s much
more orange and I have to do a lot more blending which I’m a bit disappointed
with so will get the lighter shade next time!
Soap and Glory Kick Ass Blur and
Brighten Concealer
Another concealer I love! I use this under my eyes before I put on
foundation every day and it really brightens the area and offers good coverage!
I have already repurchased but it’s broke so I need to return it! That’s the
only bad thing about this concealer, if it gets dropped its very likely the
crayon will break off from the packaging! Not having much luck with concealers
at the minute!
Bourjois Volume Glamour Max Holidays
Waterproof Mascara
I got this in a free gift and I love it! It’s a drier formula than I usually
go for but it gives so much volume and separates my lashes really well! Already
have a backup!
Urban Decay De-Slick Makeup Setting
Spray
I was so disappointed with this as you will see in this post as I
usually love anything by Urban Decay! It did nothing to make my makeup last any
longer but I’ve since found another more affordable setting spray that I love
so I won’t be repurchasing this!
So there we have it, another empties! I can’t believe how quickly that
box filled up and this post is still ridiculously long despite me trying to do
them more often – sorry! Let me know what you thought of any of the products I
finished if you’ve tried them!
