Empties #2 - October 2012

I am going to try and do these posts monthly, but I don’t tend to use a lot of stuff up, apart from boring products, such as, deodorant and mouthwash. But I promise I will try!

T-Zone Clear Pore Anti-Bacterial Cleanser – 200ml
Since using this I haven’t really noticed a difference, apart from my forehead may look shiner as this has oil in it. I am already working my way through a second bottle, so I will be able to ‘monitor’ it! I am going to try a different cleanser though, when the second bottle has gone.
£2.99 – click here!

Dove Invisible Dry Deodorant – 250ml
I am still using this and I currently have three back-ups.
£3.69 – click here!

Tesco Baby Ultra Soft Fragranced Wipes (alcohol free) – 64 Wipes
I got these because they were on a 3 for 2 offer. I just used them to wipe my make-up off before I wash my face. I am currently working my way through the third packet.
98p – click here!

Morrisons Large Oval Cotton Wool Pads (100% cotton) – 50 pads
I got these because of a 3 for £1 offer. This was my first packet and I am currently using the second. I use them in the morning with my face cleanser.
40p – no link can be found!

Maybelline Define-A-Lash Volume Mascara – 6.5ml
I bought the shade Very Black and I really enjoyed using this mascara. It is definitely one I would consider re-purchasing in the future.
£8.19 – click here!

Morrisons Daily Care Mouthwash in Cool Mint – 500ml
This was my fourth bottle and I re-purchased a different one by mistake, I think it is the same, but stronger. I shall see!
49p – no link can be found!

Thanks for reading! J

Empties #10 - August & September 2013

I have combined two month’s worth of empties again. At the end of August my box wasn’t that full, so I decided to carry on collecting and hope I use up more stuff. The majority of stuff I used up was necessities as usual, but there are some extra bits too. Here is what I managed to use up within two months:- Morrisons So Clear Dual Action Moisturiser | 100ml I have used another tube of this and have already re-purchased it. It works really well and doubles as a hand cream and most importantly, it is very inexpensive. Price - £1.49 Listerine Total Care Mouthwash in Clean Mint (Purple) | 500ml This is my favourite mouthwash and I have already re-purchased it. Although I get it for around £2.99, I still wish it was cheaper. Price - £4.60 Right Guard Women Total Defence 5 48H Invisible Power Anti-Perspirant Deodorant | 150ml + 250ml I have used more of these as usual and I still haven’t found anything that is better. I have however found a cheaper place to buy it f...

Oden's Eye Solmåne Eyeshadow Palette

I first heard of this indie brand through watching Angelika Oles’ beauty channel on YouTube. Oden’s Eye is a Swedish indie brand and they make Norse mythology themed products. This is one of two eyeshadow palettes I decided to purchase; I also picked up the two matching highlighter palettes.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is small and rectangular in shape. It is made out of cardboard and it has a sort of textured covering (like on pogs). The design and imagery is so unique to the brand. Solmåne means the sun and moon in Swedish. Sol represents the Sun Goddess and Måne represents the Moon God. Both Gods are represented on the packaging. There is a colour split of warm and cool toned shades (lavender, pink, orange & yellow) along with moon, star and Norse symbols. The wheel around the Gods is metallic gold, so it really reflects the light when you move the palette around. The eyeshadow shade names are printed on the back of the palette. The palette has a magnetic closing/opening, ...

Too Faced Pumpkin Spice Palette

I first saw a preview of this palette in early August on the Trendmood Instagram page. I just knew I had to have it. I also own and love the Gingerbread Spice and Gingerbread Extra Spicy Palettes by Too Faced. These are the only types of holiday palettes that actually interest me from Too Faced. All of their other holiday palettes tend to be gimmicky (but pretty looking) and not good quality. THE PACKAGING The packaging is a rounded rectangular shaped tin in a beautiful pumpkin orange colour. The design on the front kind of looks like spread on a cracker. The name of the palette is printed in two different raised fonts. It has a magnetic closing, which you lift up to reveal the inside of the palette. The little rectangular eyeshadow pans are arranged across a metallic gold base, with the shade names printed in a small black font above each pan. There is also a mirror on the underside of the lid of the palette. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get eighteen 0.70g eyeshadows in Matte (M),...
