Empties #5 - February 2013


I haven’t used too much up this month, but I am getting there. I actually have a few reviews planned which will hopefully be posted in March, which means I can start using up more make-up related products instead of just bath and body stuff.

Soap & Glory Peaches & Clean Deep Cleansing Milk – 200ml
I am still using this as my night cleanser and I still love it. There is no need for me to re-purchase one because I received one in a gift set at Christmas! Although I have noticed that if I don’t use it one night, my skin is terrible the next day and I think it happens because my skin is so used to the product now, but I don’t know whether that is a good thing or a bad thing. I am still going to carry on using though and try to use it every day instead of being lazy!
£7 – click here!

Morrisons Large Oval Cotton Wool Pads (100% Cotton) – 50 Pads
This was my third and last packet of these. I will probably just re-purchase any type when I go shopping. I will not be showing a packet for this type of product again because I now keep them in a container so there is no need for me to still have the packet and I don’t really want to save the empty packet until I have run out of them, just to show it in an Empties post!

Morrisons Daily Care Mouthwash in Cool Mint – 500ml
I’ve still been using this sort, but I re-purchased a different one to try out because I came across it whilst shopping when I needed one and thought, why not?
53p – no link can be found!

Macleans Confidence Anti-bacterial Mouth Spray – 15ml
I decided to buy this when it was on offer at £1 and I really like using it. When I first used it the taste was horrible, but obviously over time you must get used to the taste because I now can’t remember why I thought it tasted bad. It is definitely a good product but it is a bit expensive for what it is. I recently bought Morrisons own one and they are good but not as strong as this one. Plus I have a problem with the spray on the Morrison one because it has decided not to work, which means I cannot use it. So at the weekend I think I might buy more of this Macleans one.
£2.31 – click here!

Soap & Glory Hand Food – 125ml
I have had this tube nearly two years and have now finally used it up! I now have another tube and a bigger size in pump form to use up! I did like this hand cream but I preferred to use it a night time because it is quite thick. It smells really nice and is really smooth. I just wish Soap & Glory had this with other beneficial properties, such as, nail care. I am now trying to use up a Vaseline hand cream I have and then I am going to open my second tube of this hand cream.
£5 – click here!

Nivea Invisible For Black & White 48h Clear Anti-Perspirant Deodorant – 150ml
This is the smaller size and I still like this product and have just recently re-purchased it in the bigger size.
£2 to £4 – click here!

Morrisons Savers Shaving Foam – 250ml
This is just a basic shaving foam and it works and is very inexpensive. I have already re-purchased it and have been using it for years.
49p – no link can be found!

Home Bargains My Baby Wipes (Fragrance Free) – 72 Wipes
These wipes are actually unbranded, but you can find them in Home Bargains. They are just basic baby wipes that work and are cheap and easy to buy. I just bought them because they were convenient at the time. I am currently working my way through a second packet. I just tend to buy any baby wipes I see when I need them. I use them to remove my make-up before I wash and cleanse my face at night.
39p – no link can be found!

Soap & Glory Hand Maid Hand Cleansing Gel – 50ml
I really love this hand gel and I definitely used it quite quick compared to the hand gel in my January Empties. This one smells really nice and I have noticed I am using it all the time, which could have something to do with the scent and the fact that you don’t need to use too much because it spreads quite far and easily sinks in and leaves your hands lightly scented and germ free. I already had two more tubes of this and will continue re-purchasing when I have ran out. I just wish they did a bigger size in a pump to match the Soap & Glory hand food hand cream and wash your hands of it hand wash.
£2.50 – click here!

Don’t forget to look out for some reviews next month and maybe a nail polish collection post.

Thanks for reading!

e.l.f Haul #4

More e.l.f, you can obviously tell I really like their products. I only made my order because it was free shipping if you spent more than £10, so I bought the few items that were on my wishlist, otherwise I would have waited a lot longer, until I had reached the £30 mark, like I usually do. I wanted their regular £1.50 line blush in Shy, but it is not on the website anymore, unless you buy the small panned one. I wanted the full size because it is a dupe for MAC Well Dressed (which I have) and it’s bigger, so you get more for your £1.50. Powder Puffs (set of 4) - £1.50 ( here ) Studio Blush in Tickled Pink - £3.75 ( here ) Studio Blush in Gotta Glow - £3.75 ( here ) Studio Daily Brush Cleaner - £3.75 ( here ) Thanks for reading :)

Haul: End of June

Today I am going to haul products I have purchased this much. I haven’t really bought much, but the majority of the items were necessities and I thought I would share them with you anyway! From Boots I bought their Vitamin E Gentle Eye Cream (£2.54) . I was nearly running out of my Soap & Glory eye roll on and decided I wanted to try something different and the Boots one seemed like a good one to try because it is inexpensive. I also bought another Soap & Glory Peaches And Clean (£8) because I have nearly finished my current bottle and the packaging has been re-designed. I picked up two bottles of my favourite hand gel, Soap & Glory Hand Maid (£2.50) . Lastly from Boots I bought a Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paint in Guava (£3.99) . From FeelUnique.com I bought a Maybelline Color Tattoo in On and On Bronze (£4.49) because it was 10% off and it was a shade I really wanted. I also received a free 1.5ml sample sachet of *DARPHIN MELAPERFECT Anti-Dark Spots Perfect...

Perfume Power! - Soap & Glory™ 'Eau De Soap & Glory'

I bought this because I already had the first Soap & Glory perfume and I really loved the Mist You Madly line scent. The bottle is cuboid shaped and made of opaque black glass. It has a regular perfume spritzer and the cap is clear plastic and T shaped with a pink woollen sash wrapped around the base. On the front of the bottle there is a pink foiled sticker with the Soap & Glory logo. The fragrance notes are:- Bergamot, Cassis, Magnolia, Freesia, Vanilla & Musk This perfume is a strong florally and musky scent. It is quite sweet, but not overpowering. The bottle is also a classic design, so you can re-use as decoration if you peel the sticker off the front. It is the Formula 2 scent, which is what some of Soap & Glory products smell like (The Daily Smooth, Clean Girls, Mist You Madly etc.). I can really smell the bergamot, freesia and musk. It has a sort of masculine smell and does last for a while on your skin. It is a must have if you love the Mist...
