Empties #10 - August & September 2013

I have combined two month’s worth of empties again. At the end of August my box wasn’t that full, so I decided to carry on collecting and hope I use up more stuff. The majority of stuff I used up was necessities as usual, but there are some extra bits too. Here is what I managed to use up within two months:-

Morrisons So Clear Dual Action Moisturiser | 100ml
I have used another tube of this and have already re-purchased it. It works really well and doubles as a hand cream and most importantly, it is very inexpensive.
Price - £1.49

Listerine Total Care Mouthwash in Clean Mint (Purple) | 500ml
This is my favourite mouthwash and I have already re-purchased it. Although I get it for around £2.99, I still wish it was cheaper.
Price - £4.60

Right Guard Women Total Defence 5 48H Invisible Power Anti-Perspirant Deodorant | 150ml + 250ml
I have used more of these as usual and I still haven’t found anything that is better. I have however found a cheaper place to buy it for just over £1.
Price - £2+

Schwarzkopf Palette Intensive Cream Colour | 678 Ruby Red
I died my hair with this again because my dark brown roots were beginning to show. My hair didn’t stay as red this time, but my hair still looks like my regular red toned mahogany brown shade after I have washed my hair a few times.
Price - £3.98

Head & Shoulders 2-in-1 Anti-Dandruff Shampoo + Conditioner in Citrus Fresh | 450ml
This was my first bottle of the 2-in-1 kind and I love it. It makes my hair feel really soft and I have found it makes a huge difference to dandruff, whereas the regular citrus did nothing for me. It is also great for people who can’t be bothered with using a separate conditioner. It is healthier for my hair because I have to wash it every day and before I NEVER used conditioner because I couldn’t be bothered and now the 2-in-1 means I still don’t have to bother, but this time I am gaining something. I have already re-purchased it and will continue to do so!
Price - £4.99

Soap & Glory The Greatest Scrub of All™ | 125ml
This was my first tube of this facial exfoliator and it didn’t do much for my skin. It cleared dead skin and cleaned my face, but it didn’t do anything for my pores. I just don’t think it was abrasive enough. It smelled nice, but I will not be re-purchasing it!
Price - £9

Maybelline Volum’ Express The Rocket Mascara | 9.6ml
This was my first tube of this mascara and I really like it. It gives yours lashes volume, separation, definition and it is clump free. It does sometimes transfer a little, but it is a great mascara overall and the brush and overall formula is similar to my beloved Maybelline One by One, which is still one of my favourites. I probably won’t re-purchase this one for a while because I have quite a few on my list to try out before I make a re-purchase!
Price - £7.99

Morrisons Total Care Breath Freshening Spray | 12.5ml
I am still using this kind and have already re-purchased.
Price - £2.50

Soap & Glory Hand Maid Hand Cleansing Gel | 50ml
This is my third bottle and I still love it. I have already re-purchased it. I still wish they did a large pump size to match the hand cream.
Price - £2.50

ASDA Little Angels Baby Wipes (fragrance free) | 64 wipes
I have used another packet of these and they are just basic wipes that I used to take my make-up off with at night. They also come in a big box of six for £4.50.
Price - 78p

Impulse Body Spray in Love Puzzle (LE) | 75ml
This was my first can of this scent and I love it. Unfortunately it is limited edition, but I have still seen it in local discount stores. It is a soft fruity scent with notes, such as, plum, apricot, mango, peony and sandalwood. It does last a while on the skin and it is a great scent for summer. I have already reviewed it here.
Price - £1.99

Morrisons Savers Shaving Foam | 250ml
I’ve used up another can of this. It works and is very inexpensive.
Price - 49p

febreze Mist & Refresh in Cotton Fresh | 300ml
I’ve had several cans of this room/linen spray before and I love it. It smells really clean, fresh and homely. From my experience you can’t go wrong with the febreze sprays.
Price - £3

Soap & Glory The Fab Pore™ 2-in-1 Facial Mask & Peel | 50g
This was my first tub of this mask and I was excited to try it. It is supposed to unclog and shrink pores, as well as preventing spots. After using it, I haven’t noticed changes to my skin at all, apart from my face felt smoother and looked brighter after using it. My pores are still clogged and I still got spots. Also in it’s title it says it is a peel, but you actually have to wipe it off with a flannel. I probably won’t buy it again and I think the actual problem is my face. I have tried countless products, mostly Soap & Glory and they don’t seem to want to fight my pores!
Price - £10

Glade Room Spray in Garden Sunshine (LE) | 275ml
This was my first can of this scent and it is my favourite. It smells gorgeous and my Sister now loves it too. It’s so fresh, clean and sweet floral smelling. It is definitely a great summer room/linen spray, but I would use it all year round! Sadly, this was limited edition, but luckily for me I bought two back-ups. When I have finished the other two, I would definitely go and try other scents from Glade, but not the aerosol kind because from past experience they are rubbish!
Price - £3

Impulse Body Spray in Loving Words | 75ml
At first I wasn’t overly keen on this scent because of the raspberry, but since I started using it to use it up; it has really grown on me. It is strong smelling and really fruity and it will last a while on your body. Since I got my can, which was my first, the packaging has been re-designed and now looks very plain in comparison.
Price - £1.99

I hope you enjoyed this post and I hope to have a lot more reviews posted soon!

Thank You & Bye ♥

Oden's Eye Solmåne Eyeshadow Palette

I first heard of this indie brand through watching Angelika Oles’ beauty channel on YouTube. Oden’s Eye is a Swedish indie brand and they make Norse mythology themed products. This is one of two eyeshadow palettes I decided to purchase; I also picked up the two matching highlighter palettes.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is small and rectangular in shape. It is made out of cardboard and it has a sort of textured covering (like on pogs). The design and imagery is so unique to the brand. Solmåne means the sun and moon in Swedish. Sol represents the Sun Goddess and Måne represents the Moon God. Both Gods are represented on the packaging. There is a colour split of warm and cool toned shades (lavender, pink, orange & yellow) along with moon, star and Norse symbols. The wheel around the Gods is metallic gold, so it really reflects the light when you move the palette around. The eyeshadow shade names are printed on the back of the palette. The palette has a magnetic closing/opening, ...

My Favourite TV Series

I have already shared with you some current favourite songs and my favourite films. I thought it was now time to mention my favourite TV series. Here are my top ten favourite TV series:-   Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003) This series is about a teenager who becomes the next vampire slayer. Only one slayer is born into every generation and one has to die for another to be activated. It is a kind of coming of age story and I love strong female characters. I also just loved the fight scenes. I was only four when this series first came out, so I did miss a few seasons at first. About five years ago, I did re-watch all seven seasons. I was sad it ended, but there are only so many monsters you can introduce and slay before it gets monotonous! It did watch the spin-off show Angel, but it didn’t have the same magic and feel to it for me.   Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (1999-) I am quite partial to a crime drama and it all started with CSI: Miami. I watched all of the Amer...

Review: Travalo Classic

I was sorting through some old pictures in my blog folder on my computer and I came across some Travalo pictures I took, and remembered I was mean’t to do a post about it. So better late than never, I am going to share with you how to use it and what I think. About the Travalo The Travalo is a small and handy perfume atomiser that allows you to decant a small amount of your favourite perfume into the tube and carry it with you, so you don’t have to carry around the bottle. It is made of strong, light aluminium and is 80mm in size and holds 4ml of liquid, which is approximately fifty sprays. It is also a “perfectly” rounded shape, which means there are no corners, so you don’t have to worry about it ripping your handbag, purse and pockets or scratching any furniture and surfaces. How to Use It If you want to decant some perfume to put in the Travalo you need to: 1. Take the spray cap off the perfume bottle 2. Get your Travalo and hold it upright over the spray s...
