Hi everyone! I have another empties post today and I can’t believe this is my 4th so I will get straight into it as its product heavy as usual!
Bodycare
Soap and Glory Whipped Clean Shower Butter 250ml
At risk of sounding like a broken record, while I love Soap and Glory, I usually stick to my two favourite scents, Original Pink and Mist you Madly, as I’m not a huge fan of their other scents. This shower butter is scented of pistachio, almond and sweet vanilla and while I’m sure most people love it I get sick of it quite quickly! I got through this tube really quickly and definitely prefer the pump body washes which I think last a lot longer. This is however nicely moisturising as it has cocoa and Shea butters, grapeseed, sweet almond and macadamia nut oils and is great to use if you are shaving your legs! I wouldn’t repurchase this but I happily use it up when I have it!
Soap and Glory Clean on Me shower gel mini 75ml
This is one of my favourite scents! I regularly go through the big ones of these too but had a mini lying round in my back up supply (lol) so thought I may as well as use it! Constant repurchase!
Nivea Soft
moisturising cream 300ml
This stuff is a constant repurchase for me! I won’t bore you
to death because I've spoken about it a few times before but in short I love
this! It smells fresh and clean and absorbs really quickly!
Hair care
Mane n Tail Shampoo
355ml
I picked this up around Christmas last year as I’d heard
using horse shampoo was meant to give you really shiny hair. I found the consistency
of this a lot like the Aussie shampoos and I didn’t mind the smell although it
was quite different to the normal shampoos I use. I didn’t find any drastic difference in my hair while using
this and it didn’t make it any shinier than other cheaper shampoos so I will
not repurchase!
TRESemme 24 Hour Body Root Boosting Spray 250ml
I’m so glad I have finally finished this! That's not to say I didn't like this but this stuff was never ending and I'm currently working on finishing another product from the same range that I've had for ages too. I love the smell of this and it didn't weigh my hair down or make it greasy but as I have long hair with long layers nothing gives it volume so I don't think this did much! I would definitely repurchase this but I'd rather it came in a smaller size as I got a bit bored of using it constantly!
REN Oat and Bay
Conditioning Shampoo 50ml
I got this in a mini REN travel kit and only got round to
using it recently. As suspected I didn’t get many uses out of it but I’m glad I
didn’t have more to use as I really didn’t like it. I wasn’t a massive fan of
the smell and I found it very hard to lather in my hair so I wouldn’t
repurchase.
TRESemme Salon Finish
Freeze Hold Hairspray 250ml
I really liked this hairspray; it didn't leave my hair
crispy or tatty and kept it straighter for longer when I sprayed it. My hair
doesn't hold volume well in general but definitely did for a lot longer with
this! It’s not my favourite scent and I’m not overly loyal to hairsprays so I
will probably try a few before picking this up again!
Skincare
Nivea Lotion 260ml
This is my first choice first cleanser in the evenings and
is a habit passed on from my mum who loves the stuff too! I find it lovely and
cooling on the skin and it does a great job of removing most of my makeup
without dragging my skin. I will follow this up usually with an oil or balm
based cleanser. Already repurchased and using!
Emma Hardie Amazing
Face Moringa Cleansing Balm 50ml
I love this stuff! I bought it in a set at Christmas but
only started using it a few months ago and was surprised at how long it lasted
me considering the tub is tiny, but a little goes a long way with this! I don't
love the scent, it's quite orangey, but the balm is so soothing on the skin and
used with a warm flannel leaves my skin really soft and well cleansed. I have a
few sample sizes of oils and other cleansers to use up but I will 100% be
repurchasing this in the future even with the price tag! Definitely one that’s
worth the hype!
Garnier Express 2 in
1 Eye Makeup Remover 125ml
I've spoken about this before in another empties post too
but I love this stuff! It’s so gentle and doesn’t pull my eyes. I find it to be
really effective at removing my waterproof mascara and eye makeup because of
the oil in it. It doesn’t burn my eyes which can be quite sensitive and get dry
easily as I wear contacts daily! Already repurchased and using and if you are
in the market for an effective eye makeup remover this is your guy!
Makeup
Maybelline The Colossal
Volum’ Express Waterproof Mascara
I really like this mascara and its one I consistently go
back to when it’s on offer or I need the third thing in a 3 for 2 offer! The wand
is big and bristly and gives me a nice amount of volume without clumping my
eyelashes together. I featured this ages ago in one of my first posts about
products I wanted to get used up because I have had it for ages (way longer
than three months) but it just didn’t dry up and was making my lashes look so
good! I decided enough was enough though and eventually put it to the side
because the length of time I had it was getting a bit ridiculous! Will
definitely repurchase!
Max Factor Clump Defy
by False Lash Effect Water Resistant Mascara
False lash effect is my favourite mascara ever so I thought
I would try this clump defy version for a change. This also featured in the
post about products I was trying to use up because again, this would just not
dry up and was making my lashes look so good I couldn’t bear to throw it away!
It has a plastic spoon wand and really separated and lengthened my lashes. Will
definitely repurchase!
Collection Lasting
Perfection in Fair 1
I don't understand the hype with this concealer! Don’t get
me wrong I do like it but I definitely don’t love it and prefer concealers such
as NYX HD concealer and Soap and Glory Kick Ass over this! It is a great budget
concealer which I use for spots more so than under the eye but I do go over my
spots again with a second concealer as it doesn’t cover them completely. I do
however have a backup of this so maybe I do believe the hype haha.
Sleek Brow Stylist in
Dark
I really like this brow pencil! It has a spoolie on the end
which is so handy (I lost the cap ages ago) and a slanted twist up nib that
gives good colour payoff so you don’t need a sharpener. It’s quick and easy to
use and give me defined brows quickly! I have already repurchased this but as
you will have seen in this post, I have quite a lot of other brow products on
the go at the moment so I haven’t opened it yet!
So there we go, another ridiculously long empties post!
Sorry! Have you tried any of the products I’ve mentioned? What did you think of
them?
