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!

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Thanks for reading!

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...
