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

Love At First Blush - 7.5g Shade 1 - pink pop Shade 2 - soft beige Shade 3 - dusty rose Shade 4 - light pearl 4 Shades Mixed - soft, sandy, rosy pink The shades come across quite sheer and poorly pigmented when swatched on your arm, but on your fingertips they look bright.

Impulsive Spraying....

Spray me, I’m Impulsive.... This is a review on canned body sprays I have tried and some I still have because I love them. I was initially going to just review the Impulse ones, but I decided to include the Wilko’s ones too as a less expensive option, plus I love one of them. Impulse Impulse is a perfume deodorant/body spray brand, which is part of the Unilever brand of products. It was first launched in 1972 in South Africa, but only launched in the UK in 1981. They have a wide range of scents compatible for all females of all ages. I have also tried Very Pink , but I used it up a while ago and didn’t want to re-purchase it just for this review, but it was a very nice scent, but not one I would re-purchase. I have also tested a Hint of Musk , when I was younger and I didn’t like it! I have also got two other one’s to try, which I will do a separate review on and they are Loving Words and Love Puzzle . True Love I first knew of this scent when I received it in a gift...
