Empties #11 - October & November 2013

I haven’t used too many products up this past couple of months. Most are just repeats, but there a few products I haven’t mentioned before.

Pearl Drops Ultimate Whitening Toothpolish | 50ml
This is the kind that claims to give you the ultimate Hollywood smile. It should make your teeth four shades whiter in three weeks. I haven’t noticed any difference at all and I have used it for a few months now. It is my first tube, so I am tempted to re-purchase and continue using for a while longer.
Price - £4.85

Soap & Glory Clean On Me™ Shower Gel | 500ml
This was not my first bottle of this scent and all of Soap & Glory’s body washes are amazing. They lather really well and last forever.
Price - £6

ASDA Little Angels Baby Wipes (Fragrance Free) | 64 wipes
I have used up several packets of these and will continue to do so.
Price - 87p

Wilko Body Spray in Dreamy | 75ml
This is my favourite cheap body spray, which is not from Impulse. It smells very fresh and fruity and lasts quite a while. I have been using this for years, but I will be holding back from re-purchasing because I really love Impulse and I still have a few more body sprays to use up. I have it reviewed here.
Price - 49p

Right Guard Women Total Defence 5 48H Invisible Power Anti-Perspirant Deodorant | 250ml
I am still, of course, using this deodorant! I haven’t yet found something that will beat it!
Price - £2+

Listerine Total Care Mouthwash in Clean Mint (Purple) | 500ml
I’m still using this.
Price - £4.60

Schwarzkopf Palette Intensive Cream Colour | 678 Ruby Red
I’ve used up yet another one of these. I love it!
Price - £3.98

Morrisons Total Care Breath Freshening Spray | 12.5ml
I’m still using this too.
Price - £2.50

MODELCO Fibre Lashxtend Mascara | 10ml
The packaging of this mascara is nice and it has a handy mirror on the back. The brush is not too big and the formula is so rich and glossy. It is packed with small fibres, which make your lashes defined, long, amplified and voluminous. It is not completely smudge-free, but the effects do last all day. It would recommend it, but I wouldn’t re-purchase because £28 is too hefty of a price for a mascara!
Price - £28

Soap & Glory Sugar Crush™ Body Scrub | 300ml
This was my first tub of this scrub and it smells divine! It works really well and makes your body feel nice and smooth. It is not too abrasive because it contains more oil than sugar and the grains are more separated. I actually prefer something more abrasive, like The Breakfast Scrub. I’m not certain whether I would re-purchase because I am still in love with The Breakfast Scrub, but this one has the better scent.
Price - £8

Barry M Lash Modelling Mascara | 8ml
The packaging is rather attractive and the formula doesn’t disappoint! When I first opened this mascara, I found that it made my lashes flat and just coated them black. After it had been it my collection a while, I decided to give it another go and what a difference the break has made too. It lengthens, defines, volumises and separates. It also leaves your lashes looking bold and clump-free. I would definitely recommend it and re-purchase it.
Price - £6.19

Glade Room Spray in Garden Sunshine (LE) | 275ml
This was my second can of this scent and I still love it. One more can to go and then it has gone forever! L
Price - £3

Morrisons So Clear Deep Clean Cleanser | 200ml
I have used up another bottle of this. This is a great cleanser and very inexpensive. It is currently my second favourite.
Price - £1.49

Glade Candle in Glistening Snow (LE) | 120g
I got this as a Christmas gift last year and I was saving it for when my bedroom has been redecorated. My bedroom still hasn’t been done and I decided to use this one first because I had bought many more Glade candles for the same reason. It smells beautiful and spicy. It was limited edition for Christmas 2012, but there are many more amazing Glade scents. They last for thirty hours and you can re-use the jar they come in and each comes in a different colour. They are a bit pricy, but you are getting a candle and pretty jar. They are sometimes on offer in supermarkets, which is why I stocked up! Glade, PLEASE release more new scents!
Price - £5

Boots Natural Collection Body Spray in Mango & Papaya | 150ml
I have finally used this up! I have had it for a quite a while and it was one of three I originally had. I gave the other two away because I got bored of one and I didn’t like the other. This one obviously smells of mango and papaya, which means it, is very fruity. It also reminds me of a fizzy drink and it has the funky orange colour to match. It does last for quite a while and it is not too heavy. I probably wouldn’t re-purchase because I prefer aerosol body sprays. I would also have to buy it online because my local Boots store doesn’t stock this particular scent.
Price - £2

I hope you found some of my views on the products helpful. It has taken me a while to use some of these items up. I now have to go and recycling everything! The next empties post will be a single month one.

Thank You & Bye

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 f...

Morphe X Jaclyn Hill Volume II Palette

This palette has been out for a while now and I did purchase it a while ago, but I have only just decided to really play with it. Morphe palettes in general put me off because of the size of them, no shade names, boring packaging and too many shades in some palettes. The colour story of this palette in particular is really attractive to me. I didn’t buy Volume I as I didn’t want to jump on the band wagon, the size of the packaging and the colour story is just boring to me. I did pick up the Vault Collection (four palettes) and what a massive disappointment it was too (now decluttered)!! I was initially put off this palette due to my past experiences, but the colour story though! Also, a good thing about the Morphe website is that you can always get 10% off your order with an affiliate code.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is a quite large thin rectangular shape. It is made out of glossy white cardboard and it has the branding and information printed in metallic silver font on the fro...

BY BEAUTY BAY Fiery 16 Colour Palette

This is the third BY BEAUTY BAY make-up product I’ve tried and I did see it on the website when it first launched, but never picked it up. It was always sold out anyway so I couldn’t get it and the packaging has just been re-vamped for all of their palettes and all of the products were re-stocked. I decided to pick this one up because of the size, it’s not too small and it’s not too big. The nine shade version of this palette is all matte, and I really like shimmers/metallic and the massive forty-two shade version is too big (too many shades and too big to store in my drawers). I thought the sixteen shade palette would be the perfect medium. My palette actually arrived faulty; one of the eyeshadows is missing (Burnt Sienna). In the spot were Burnt Sienna should be there is actually a duplicate of another shade in the palette (Sunstone). Basically, I have two Sunstone eyeshadows and I should only have one. I don’t have the shade Burnt Sienna when I should have one of them (abov...
