Empties #15 - March 2014

I have another Empties for you. I’ve not used up much this month I’m afraid. It’s mostly body care items because I’ve been doing more buying and using!

Lady GaGa Fame Shower Gel
This shower gel was quite good. It lathered really well and the scent was strong too, just like the perfume! The colour of the gel was also black and then it turns grey when lathered. Although I liked it, I wouldn’t purchase it separately.
200ml | £15

I have used up several cans of this scent over the years, and I won’t stop now! It is my second favourite scent from Impulse and I LOVE it!
75ml | £1.99

Morrisons So Clear Dual Action Moisturiser
I have used this before and it is just a basic product, but it works and it is inexpensive.
100ml | £1.49

Cien BodyCare Classic Anti-Perspirant Deodorant
I still love this deodorant.
200ml | 75p

I’ve used up yet another packet and I still have more of them to get through!
64wipes | 87p

Morrisons Instant Fresh Breath Freshening Spray
I am still using this too.
12.5ml | £2.50

I really liked using this powder and I think it might be my favourite. I already have it reviewed here.
10g | £3.99

This is my second tube of this mascara and it makes your lashes look longer, fuller and more voluminous. The effects last all day and it is easy to apply, even though the brush is huge and the formula is clump free!
10ml | £10

This was my first packet and I bought them just to try them because sometimes I am too tired to moisturise my face at night and I thought these would be a good cheat. They are not bad, but too expensive for what they are and you only get fifteen wipes in a packet. They smell nice, but I’m not overly keen on the scent of melon. I probably wouldn’t re-purchase them.
15wipes | £3.95

This was my first can of this deodorant because I ran out of the one I was using and this was the most convenient to buy in the shop I was in. It is a very good deodorant, but not that different to the Cien one, apart from the Nivea one has a sort of silky scent. I prefer unscented deodorants, because sometimes when you sweat the scent from the deodorant can get into your clothes and after a while it can make them smell funny, especially if you are extra sweaty one day. I would re-purchase it though, if I come in need.
150ml | £2.50

Glade Candle in Honey & Chocolate
This is my fourth candle of this scent and I still love it! It reminds me so much of sandalwood and I will definitely be re-purchasing this again soon.
120g | £5

Glade Room Spray in Sparkling Floral (LE)
This was my first can of this scent and it was quite nice. I also used up the matching candle last month. It is not my top scent from Glade, but I would re-purchase.
275ml | £3

Schwarzkopf Palette Intensive Cream Colour in 678 Ruby Red
This is the last box I have to use up and then I think I might try a lighter brunette shade next time. But I love this colour and I think I would miss it too much, but we shall see!
115ml | £3.98

Morrisons Savers Shaving Foam
I have used up another can of this.
250ml | 49p

Dentalux Coolmint Mouthwash
I decided to try this because it was convenient and cheap to get. I probably wouldn’t get it again because I am used to the strength of the Listerine mouthwashes. If you want something gentle and inexpensive, give this a go.
500ml | 49p

I used up my last can of this deodorant and it is good, but it doesn’t beat my new favourite by Cien!
150ml | £1

A few make-up products are nearing their end, so you may get to see them in an Empties soon, which will be a big change. I think I may start doing these posts every two months again, because I am mostly using up body care items and they are not as interesting as make-up or other beauty related products. I am however, still trying to get lots of reviews planned because I have quite a few new Benefit products to try, so keep your eyes peeled for that. But for now, it’s sayonara!

What have you used up this month?

My Eye Primers: The Verdict!

It has taken me a long time to put this altogether, but I have finally done it! I decided I wanted to share my thoughts on eye primers I had tried and it turned out that I had ten, so I thought I would test them and find out which one worked best for me. I have split them into two categories (High End/Low End) and I aim to rank them from #1 to #10 on which is the longest wearing. Let’s look at the primers I will be testing. HIGH END URBAN DECAY PRIMER POTION PRICE: £17.50 SIZE: 10ml SHADES: Original, Anti-ageing, Freebase, Eden, Fix, Minor Sin, Sin and Caffeine APPLICATION: Squeeze tube without a nozzle, but also has a sponge stick applicator PROMISES: Non-creasing, gives you vibrant eyeshadows WHERE TO BUY: UrbanDecay.co.uk (UK) & Sephora (USA) I like to think that this primer is my favourite as I love the packaging (purple is my favourite colour). It is potion bottle inspired and it is the first primer I remember ever seeing and wanting. The packa...

Perfume Power! - Next 'Paradise'

I first smelt this perfume after receiving it in a mini gift set about ten years ago and I have loved it ever since. This 100ml size is my first bottle of it though, other than the tester/sample size. The bottle is quite tall and it is a sort of clutch bag shape if you turn it on its side. The bottle is a simple design and you can easily see how much perfume you have. On mine the spray pump sometimes gets stuck in the band around the neck of the bottle, but the problem is easily solved. I can’t find a specific note list anywhere for this perfume, but on Next’s site it is described as, "a light fruity fragrance with white florals and green notes". To me it smells really fruity and fresh. It is also multifunctional because it is quite strong and sexy, so perfect for a night out, but it is also not too overpowering and smells fresh and fruity enough for day time wear. It is actually an eau de toilette, which means that it is less concentrated, but I find that it is st...
