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 ♥

Boots.com Haul #2 + Blog Sale Purchase

I thought I would share a haul with you today. I haven’t done one for a while but I recently ordered a few items from Boots and I wanted to let you know about it. I bought the Real Techniques Brush Cleansing Palette , which includes two sample sachets of the deep cleansing gel. I have been waiting for something like this and I cannot wait to try it. I simply refuse to buy the Sigma version, plus I don’t think it needs to be that big. I also got a packet of the Oral-B Precision Clean Electric Toothbrush Heads because they were on offer and I got eight for the price of four. I got four tubes of the Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Hand Sanitiser because I absolutely love the scent and I wanted to put them in difference rooms so they are always to hand when needed. I bought a back-up of the Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation , which is my favourite foundation and I use the shade 010 Light Porcelain. Lastly, I got the Rimmel Brow This Way Styling Gel in Clear. It is the second tube I...

Serial Sampler #31

This is a new perfume release for this year. I came across it by pure chance when I was asked to choose some free samples when I made a FeelUnique.com order. This scent was one of the two I chose to receive. It is Irresistible by GIVENCHY and it is a 1ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum. “ Rose effervescent. Luscious rose dancing with radiant blond wood ” It contains a mixture of notes such as; Pear, Ambrette, Rose, Iris, Virginia Cedar and Musk. When it is first sprayed, it kind of smells like soap. As it starts to dry down, it still smells slightly soapy but the ambrette, rose, iris and musk notes start to peek through. Once it has fully dried down it smells less soapy and more florally. It is definitely a more soft mature scent. It does smell nice, fresh and does remind me of spring. It isn’t a scent I am typically drawn to, so I probably will not buy a bottle of it. I would say the ambrette, rose and musk are the strongest notes. You can buy it in 35ml (...

Serial Sampler #32

I received this perfume sample for FREE when I spent over a certain amount of money on a LookFantastic.com order. I actually purchased the full sized bottle (90ml) of the Yves Saint Laurent Libre Eau de Parfum.   It is My Way by Armani and it is a 1.2ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum.   It contains a mixture of notes such as; Bergamot, Orange Blossom, Tuberose, Indian Jasmine, Madagascar Vanilla, White Musk and Virginian Cedar. This strikes me as a mature scent. It smells like something I have tested before, but I can’t quite recall the name of it. It is a very delicate and light fragrance and is definitely floral based. It is not my typical scent, but I do appreciate it. I can really smell the bergamot, tuberose, jasmine and musk notes. I would recommend it, but I personally wouldn’t wear it.   You can buy it in 30ml (£55/$74), 50ml (£76/$97) and 90ml (£103/$126) and it is available at places such as; ArmaniBeauty.co.uk and Sephora.   | I received this sampl...
