Empties #7 - April 2013


This month I haven’t used much up and the majority of the products are necessities.

Listerine Total Care Mouthwash in Clean Mint (Purple) – 500ml
I first bought this because it sounded perfect and it was at a discount shop. When I tried it, I thought it was strange because it felt as though it was burning and dissolving my tongue! After I spit it out I rinsed my mouth with water, my mouth and teeth felt really clean. It is definitely a really strong mouthwash because of the weird sensation, but it is not painful. I wouldn’t say it tastes of mint, but you get used to the taste after a few uses. I would buy this again but the full price is a little expensive and the prices vary from shop to shop and seem to increase, but I suppose it is worth it. Unfortunately when I ran out of this I couldn’t find it when I went shopping, so I had to buy the Morrisons one as I couldn’t do without and I’ve re-purchased the Morrisons one plenty of times.
Price - £4.60

Nivea Invisible For Black & White 48h Clear Anti-Perspirant Deodorant – 250ml
This was my last can of this deodorant as I have decided to try a different one. If the new one doesn’t work out I will go back to using this one because it is a really great deodorant and the best one I have tried so far.
Price - £2+

Soap & Glory Hand Maid Hand Cleansing Gel – 50ml
I have now finished my second bottle and I am still loving it! I have one more left in my spare stash and then I will re-purchase some more.
Price - £2.50

Wilko Body Spray in Passion – 75ml
I have re-purchased this body spray several times before and it is very inexpensive and it does smell pleasant. It is definitely not my favourite scent and I have had this particular can for quite a while and have now only just finally finished it. I won’t be re-purchasing again this time, but I do recommend it and I have already done a review.
Price - 49p

Impulse Body Spray in Into Glamour – 75ml
This is my third favourite Impulse scent and I have been through many cans of this. I already have a back-up of this but I may not open it for a while because I am trying to use up four other body sprays. I have also reviewed this body spray so click here to read it. My back-up is in the same can design but Impulse have recently re-designed all of their packaging, so if you click the price below you will see how different the new packaging looks!
Price - £1.99

Right Guard Women Total Defence 5 48H Sensitive Anti-Perspirant Deodorant – 250ml
This was my first can and the one I was on about trying because I used up the Nivea one at the start of the month and it was too late to include it in my March Empties. This one was really good and I think it’s the same as the Nivea one, but it is slightly cheaper because the prices for the Nivea vary from shop to shop. On that note I think I will stick with this one for a bit. As it turns out I picked up the same deodorant but it is different because this one is sensitive, but the new one I picked up is not so I will see what the difference is in the month to come.
Price - £3.19

SANCTUARY SPA COVENT GARDEN Body Wash – 75ml
I got this in a gift set I received for Easter and it smells really nice and fresh. You need to use more of it for a really great lather and I didn’t really notice if it was particularly moisturising because of the pink capsules it contains. It was a really nice body wash to use but I wouldn’t go out of my way to pick it up in full size.
Price - £5.10

Morrisons Daily Care Mouthwash in Cool Mint – 500ml
This is just a basic mouthwash and I have used and re-purchased on several occasions.
Price - 53p

I may start doing these posts every two months instead because I haven’t been using up a lot of products and it is getting repetitive and probably boring for you to read. I am also looking for suggestions for new products to try, so if you have any please let me know below.

Thanks J

Jeffree Star Cosmetics: Summer Chrome Collection 2017

I have decided to do a sort of swatch post today, but I have included a little more information than I usually would for a simple swatch post. Jeffree Star Cosmetics recently came out with a new Summer Chrome Collection of products and I decided I wanted to purchase something, but wasn’t quite sure what at first. The whole collection includes; 8 Velour Liquid Lipsticks, 3 Velour Lip Scrubs, 5 Lip Ammunitions™, 2 Skin Frosts™ and various lip gift sets. I decided to pick up two items from the collection, both are lip products. I got a Velour Liquid Lipstick in Calabasas , which was £16.00 for 5.4ml. I also got a Lip Ammunition™ in Birthday Suit , which was £16.00 for 3.4g. CALABASAS - matte rosy red BIRTHDAY SUIT - satin soft rose nude I wasn’t too sure if the liquid lipstick would suit me, but it actually looks lovely. I love the colour and it is perfect after one application (the wand tickles my lips a little). It dries down and it is long wearing, but wi...

Katie Price 'Stunning' Perfume VS JoJo Siwa 'Be You' Perfume - Are they the same?

I was browsing on AllBeauty.com and looking at celebrity fragrances and I saw that one was listed for JoJo Siwa. I had heard of JoJo before, but I don’t really know anything about her. I clicked on it out of interest and when I first saw the image of the perfume, I thought maybe the wrong photograph had been uploaded until I clicked on it and saw the description of the perfume. When I first saw the photograph, before I clicked on it to read the description, I instantly thought, that’s Stunning by Katie Price! I looked into it a bit more and compared it to Stunning. The JoJo Siwa “version” is called Be You.
