Empties #9 - July 2013

I have another empties post for you. I’ve used a few products this month and some different types too. So let’s get in to them:-

*Ted Baker Body Spray in Origami – 150ml
This is a strong woody scent and it is quite feminine and it does smell nice, but it is not my typical scent. I enjoyed using it and it does linger on your skin, but I will not be re-purchasing it. I have already reviewed it here.
Price - £5

Listerine Total Care Mouthwash in Clean Mint (Purple) – 500ml
I’ve used up another bottle of my current favourite mouthwash! This mouthwash leaves your mouth feeling really clean and I will continue to re-purchase.
Price - £4.60

Soap & Glory Clean, Girls™ Body Wash – 500ml
This was my first bottle of this scent and it is my favourite Soap & Glory body wash. I love it because it is in my beloved Mist You Madly scent! It is expensive for a body wash but it is very creamy and it lathers really well, but most of all it lasts for ever. I won’t be re-purchasing yet because I have two other Soap & Glory body washes to use up.
Price - £6

Schwarzkopf Palette Intensive Cream Colour – 678 Ruby Red
I always use this particular hair dye when I dye my hair. It is a really bright coppery red and after a few weeks my hair stays a similar red/brown colour until my roots start to grow through, which is typically when I get a haircut and dye it. I always buy this from a discount store and it is usually around £1.99.
Price - £3.98

ASDA Little Angels Baby Wipes (fragrance free) – 64 wipes
These are just basic wipes really and I happened to be in ASDA when I need some, so I chose these because they came in a big box of six for £4.50.
Price - 78p

Purity Plus+ Deep Pore Cleansing 2 in 1 Cleansing & Toning Lotion – 150ml
This was my first bottle because I wanted to try it. I bought it because I was already using a cleanser like this, but this one is a toner too so I thought it would be better than the one I was using. I really like this and my face felt so clean after using it. I used it every morning before moisturising. I will be re-purchasing it but I am currently finishing off a Morrisons cleanser.
Price - 99p

Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer in 010 Ivory – 7ml
This is my current favourite concealer and I love it! It conceals signs of fatigue, adapts to your skin tone, brightens your under eye area and looks flawless. It definitely recommend it and I have already re-purchased it. I have reviewed it here.
Price - £5.99

Right Guard Women Total Defence 5 48H Invisible Power Anti-Perspirant Deodorant – 250ml
I still love this and still keep re-purchasing it!
Price - £2+

dermaV10 Re-Energiser Eye Roll-On – 15ml
This is supposed to make your eyes look wide awake and minimise the blue/purple tones under your eye, for a temporary effect. It should also make the under eye smooth, so it is a good base to apply concealer over. It does slightly work if the blue/purple tones aren’t very strong, but other than that it doesn’t do much. Having said that it is cooling and makes your under eye area smooth ready for concealer, but I could live without it so I will not be re-purchasing. I also already bought a different eye cream to test.
Price - £2.49

Soap & Glory DR SPOT™ Invisible Spot Fighting Gel – 15ml
It took me a very long time to finally finish this product! It does work and it does dry spots out really well, but I found that’s all it did for me. It still took a long time for the redness to go. It is ok, but I wouldn’t re-purchase it because it is expensive for what it is.
Price - £8

Soap & Glory The Breakfast Scrub™ – 300ml
This was my second tub of this and I still love it. It is not too abrasive, but definitely makes your skin feel soft and even for a couple of days after use. I will not be re-purchasing it straight away because I am now working my way through a different body scrub from Soap & Glory.
Price - £8

Soap & Glory Peaches And Clean™ – 200ml
I think this was my third bottle of this and I still really like using it. The packaging has recently been re-designed and now looks a lot plainer (click here to see). It has also gone up £1 in price, but I will still continue to purchase it because it really works for my skin. I already have a backup, so no need to run out and buy another one just yet!
Price - £8

Glade Aerosol in Relaxing Zen – 300ml
I got this because I thought it was similar to one Glade used to do called Pure Zen. Pure Zen was really strong and lovely. This one does smell near enough the same, but it is not strong at all. You can barely smell it once you have sprayed it, so needless to say I will not be re-purchasing it.
Price - £3

Maybelline One by One Volum’ Express Mascara – 10.4ml
I had the shade Very Black and this was my second tube of this mascara. This was one of my favourite ever mascaras and has sadly been discontinued! It gave my lashes volume, length, definition, separation and most importantly, no clumps! Farewell my lovely! L
Price - £8.49

Soap & Glory Foam Call™ Body Wash – 500ml
This was my first bottle of this scent and it is really nice. It is the Soap & Glory Fruitigo scent and it is the same quality as the other scents. It lathers really well and lasts a very, very long time. I would re-purchase.
Price - £6.50

I hope you enjoyed reading. I think my next empties post will be a two month one, but it depends how much I use up next month.

Thanks for reading! J

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...
