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

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? ♥ ♥ ♥

Glossybox #17 - October 2015

I can’t believe that we are nearly half way through October already! It seems like the year has flown by recently. I wasn’t really looking forward to this box, but it has surprised me a bit. Here is what I received this month: So Susan Haute Light Highlighting Pencil | £15.00 | I prefer a highlighter like Benefit High Beam, so it will be interesting to see how this works. It does come across relatively creamy for a sharp jumbo pencil. Talika Photo-Hydra Day Moisturiser | 30ml - £24.85 | Another moisturiser for your face is always very useful.  I can’t really see it being anything special. Nicka K Airbrush Blending Sponge | £6.50 | This looks quite a bit like the BeautyBlender, but has a different shape. I imagine it will do the exact same thing, but it is a lot cheaper option. I am interested in giving it a try, although I prefer the old finger and hand method of applying foundation and concealer. Jelly Pong Pong Play Paint in Damson | £8.95 | It ...

HUDA BEAUTY Purple Haze Obsessions Palette

I’ve previously only tried one HUDA BEAUTY mini palette before, but this one really caught my eye. I almost bought the Khaki version too. I eventually decided on only picking up the purple one as I wasn’t massively impressed with the Topaz Obsessions Palette I previously tried.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is made of translucent purple plastic and it is square shaped. It just has the palette branding across the front in place of a design and it has a clip closing, which you lift up to reveal the square eyeshadow pans arranged in threes across an opaque matte purple base. The eyeshadows do not have names. There is also a little mirror on the underside of the lid. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get nine 0.64g eyeshadows in Matte (M), Metallic (ME) and Shimmery Topper (ST) finishes.   ·          Smokey Shades ·          Buttery Mattes ·          Intense Metal...
