Empties #4 - January 2013


Welcome to my first Empties post of the year! I’ve not really used much up because I have been trying to review things before using them up, but so far I’ve been slow on both tasks. Hopefully there will be new and more things next month!

e.l.f Tone Correcting Concealer – 2.4g
I had this concealer in two shades, Ivory and Rosy Beige. It wasn’t a bad concealer, I actually mixed both the shades, but they didn’t do enough for me coverage wise and lasting power. But for the price this concealer is great!

Soap & Glory FOAM Call Body Wash – 500ml
I bought this last year from my local Boots because I wanted to try all of Soap & Glory’s body washes, because they are so lovely. I do like this one and it is from the Fruitigo fragrance line, but the body washes last forever, so I got bored of the scent! I have a back-up that I got for Christmas though, but I will be using a Vera Wang shower gel before I start using Soap & Glory Clean Girls body wash. I’m sure this product will feature in an Empties post again this year though.

Katie Price Stunning Perfume (eau de parfum) – 30ml
I have finally used this up! I have had it for about two years and I really like it and have already re-purchased it. However I kind of regret re-purchasing it, because although I like it and think it smells lovely, it is still not my favourite

SchÜlke Desderman® International Disinfectant Hand Gel – 50ml
I got this for free when I worked at a Dental Practice. It is a very strong hand gel and it is not very good for your nails, but I needed to use it up. Plus I can now start using the Soap & Glory hand gels I bought. There is nothing special about this product; it was just what was available to me at the time, as the Dental Practice I worked at used the Desderman brand for hand disinfectant.

Morrisons Daily Care Mouthwash in Cool Mint – 500ml
As you can see, I am still using this type and I keep forgetting to check others out when I go out to purchase one.

Morrisons Large Oval Cotton Wool Pads (100% Cotton) – 50 Pads
This was my second packet of these and I have one packet left to use up.
40p – no link can be found!

Vera Wang Lovestruck Silky Shower Gel – 75ml
This shower gel smells exactly like the matching perfume. It smelt really nice when I used it in the shower, but you need to use quite a bit so that it lathers really good. Sadly the scent doesn’t last on your skin when you are out of the shower. Also as you may be able to see the packaging is a total mess because when the packaging gets wet the colouring peels off, which is very annoying because it gets everywhere!

Alberto Balsam Flexible Hold Hairspray – 300ml
I have had this hairspray for a few years now and I only used it if I plaited my hair, which was not very often. But a while before the end of last year, I started to get into the routine of using heat protectant on my hair before straightening and then when my hair was straight I sprayed it with hairspray, which resulted in my first ever bottle being empty, AT LAST! It is not a bad product at all, it doesn’t make your hair feel dry or clump together like most cheap hairsprays and it does hold your hair in place. I have had to purchase a different one because I couldn’t find this one, but I’ll keep looking for it.

Nivea Invisible For Black & White 48h Clear Anti-Perspirant Deodorant – 250ml
This is the first time this product has been featured in one of my Empties posts and I really like it. It is exactly the same if not better than the Dove deodorant I was using before. I thought this deodorant would turn out to be cheaper than the Dove, but there is not much difference in the price, but I have noticed this deodorant is sold at various prices and the cheapest I have seen is at Superdrug for £2.09. I have actually used up two cans, but I couldn’t find the other one for the picture.

Katy Perry ‘Purr’ eau de parfum – 1.2ml Sample Size
I have recently purchased this in the full 100ml size for £22 from CheapSmells.com and I really love it and the bottle is gorgeous and can still be used as décor even when the perfume has run out. I also love the sample vile because it still carries the Purr theme, unlike most samples that come in a plain plastic vile with just a fancy font for the name. I will definitely be doing a review on this perfume very soon.

T-Zone Clear Pore Anti-bacterial Cleanser – 200ml
This wasn’t a bad cleanser, but it was not enough for my skin as I still had visible clogged pores. I am currently trying out a different cleanser and hopefully it works for me.

Soap & Glory The Righteous Butter Body Moisturiser – 150ml
I have finally managed to use this up! I have had it over a year now and it is the smaller size, and I also have four more full sized Soap & Glory body butters to use up. It is quite thick and very moisturising and I do love that it comes in a tub, but the product gets under my fingernails when I scoop it out, which I do not like. It has the S&P Original Pink scent and I am now so bored of this scent and I am also trying to use up my collection before Christmas when I will probably receive more S&P products.

Swatches: Maybelline Colour Sensational Stripped Nudes Lipstick in Tantalizing Taupe

Tantalizing Taupe (725) - light, but deep nude beige Quite smooth, slight shine and pretty nude colour, but sadly it doesn’t really suit me. £6.99 - Maybelline.co.uk What do you think of this product? ♥ ♥ ♥

Perfume Power! - Avril Lavigne 'Black Star'

This is my third bottle of this perfume and in the 30ml too. The bottle is designed as a star, which has a black star shaped studded cap. Around the neck of the bottle is a studded metal choker ring, which is removable and wearable for your finger. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Blackcurrant, Mango, Pear & Black Plum Middle Notes: Jasmine, Lotus & Pink Hibiscus Base Notes: Musk, Sandalwood, Vanilla & Dark Mexican Chocolate To me it smells really light, fruity, floral and incredibly feminine. The floral notes stand out to me the most, as well as the musk. All of the notes complement each other very well and it is one of my all-time favourite perfumes. My only criticism is  after a while I cannot smell it on me, but people have said they can still smell it, so it must last longer than your nose leads you to believe! I just personally like to be able to still smell the perfume on me, because it is GORGEOUS! I will definitely keep on re-purchasi...

Colourpop Limoncello Palette

I first saw the tease of this palette on Trendmood’s Instagram and it instantly attracted me. I love the packaging and colour story, it just reminds me of summer. The design on the palette would also make a lovely and classy wallpaper pattern. This palette is part of the Limoncello Collection. THE PACKAGING The packaging is made out of cardboard, which is wrapped with a white, blue and yellow flowery and lemon design. The palette name and branding is printed in gold and the shade names are printed on the back of the palette. It has a magnetic closing, which you lift up to reveal the inside of the palette. The circle eyeshadow pans are arranged on a pale yellow, lemon skin textured base with the shade names printed above them at an angle in blue font. There is also a mirror on the underside of the lid. The mirror is inside a yellow cardboard base and it has a corner flower and lemon design on it. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get twelve 1g eyeshadows in Matte (M) and Metallic (ME) f...
