Empties #16 - April & May 2014

I have used up quite a few different products for this post, but still no make-up items disappointingly!

This was my second can because I couldn’t get hold of the Cien deodorant for a few weeks. It works and it got me through the waiting period.
150ml | £2.50

This was my first tube of this product and it was ok. It did moisturise, but I didn’t notice much more than that. The consistency is very thin and if you apply too much, it turns your face white and takes forever to soak in. I will not be re-purchasing it.
75ml | £2.99

I just wanted to try a different scented hand gel and this one does smell great. However, if you apply too much, the scent can be overwhelming! I also did not like the fact that once it has dried and you pick up food, the scent transfers over to the food so you can taste it! Overall, I probably would re-purchase it, but in a different scent.
50ml | £1.45

I have had a smaller bottle of this before and it smells great! It is very floral and makes a brilliant linen/room spray too. It has taken me two years to use this bottle up, so I probably won’t hurry out to re-purchase it just yet. Click here to read my review of it.
250ml | £6.50

This was my second bottle of this perfume and it is a lovely scent. I probably will not re-purchase it again though because it is not my favourite kind of scent and I am bored of it now! Read my review of this perfume here.
100ml | £34

This was my first scent of this candle and it does smell really nice. I actually prefer it in the room spray form, which I also have. The pineapple is more prominent in the room spray version and it makes you appreciate the scent more. I probably will not re-purchase it in candle form.
120g | £5

I have used up another packet of these and I still have two and a half left!
64wipes | 87p

Impulse Body Spray in Be Surprised
This was my first can of this scent and it is currently the newest scent by Impulse. It is definitely in my top picks and it smells really woodsy and the violets and red fruits really complement each other. I would recommend it and re-purchase.
75ml | £1.99

I received a free 2ml sample size sachet of this and it felt/smelled nice, but I didn’t notice a change in my skin. I probably wouldn’t anyway because it was one sample, but the purpose is to make you buy the full size. I probably wouldn’t buy it in full size because it is quite expensive for a wash off cleanser. If you don’t mind spending the money, I recommend you try it out.
150ml | $70

This was my first bottle of this scent and it smells heavenly! It lasts quite a long time and you can also use it to shave with. I already have another bottle in my drawer, waiting to be used.
500ml | £6.50

This was my first bottle of this product and I found it ok. I used it to cleanse my face in the morning and it did a good job of getting the left over dirt off my face from when I washed it the night before. It did work really well for me, but I think it is a bit overpriced for what I want/need from it! If you actually use it to remove make-up, you might see better results. I am now currently using the less expensive Garnier alternative.
200ml | £4.99

Cien BodyCare Classic Anti-Perspirant Deodorant
This is still my favourite deodorant!
200ml | 75p

This was my first one of these candles and it was really nice. The class jar is lovely and the different colours were very pretty, especially in the dark! The price is a bit steep, but it lasts quite a long time and you can smell it whilst it is burning. I probably would re-purchase, but I wish there were more scents.
155g | £7

I have used this shampoo for a while now and it is ok, but I think it is time to try something new.
450ml | £4.99

This smells amazing! It is a great scrub and it is soft at the same time. It is pink in colour and the grains are very small. I actually prefer The Breakfast Scrub because it is more abrasive, but this product smells better and works just as well.
300ml | £8

This was my first bottle of this ‘flavour’ and it worked ok. Ironically it tasted quite sweet to me. It is possible for me to re-purchase, but I prefer the stronger tasting Listerine mouthwashes because it feels like they are doing something.
500ml | £5.60

Colgate Max White One Active Toothpaste in Power Mint
This was my first tube of this kind and it was fine to use, but my teeth don’t look whiter at all! It promises to make your teeth one shade lighter in one week and this did not happen for me. I will not be re-purchasing it, as it is expensive for disappointing results. I have re-purchased a different Colgate whitening toothpaste to see if it works for me any better.
75ml | £3.99

Glade Room Spray in Tropical Twist (LE)
This was my first can of this scent and I had the matching candle too. It smells very nice and the note that stands out the most is the pineapple. I might re-purchase it if I come across it in the stores again.
275ml | £3

This is my second tube of this mascara and it is my current favourite from Maybelline. It makes your lashes, bold, defined and voluminous. The brush is flexible, but easy to use and the formula is clump free. I love this mascara!
9.6ml | £7.99

Avon Femme Body Spray
I got this with the matching perfume and it is a really lovely scent. It has strong floral notes, but it still smells fresh and very feminine. Click here to read my review of the perfume.
75ml | £?

From now on, I think I am only going to do these posts when I have plenty of products and new products to share with you. So I may post these every few months or when I want rid of the rubbish (I recycle the majority of it)!

What have you used up this month?

KALEIDOS Futurism VI: Lunar Lavender Palette

This is my second KALEIDOS palette and I bought it from the same Depop seller as last time. I also purchased the Futurism I: Sci-Fi Green and Futurism VII: Sashimi City Palettes, reviews on those will be coming soon. THE PACKAGING The packaging is a long thin rectangle shape and the concept reminds me of a wardrobe. There is a purple, pink and rose gold coral (the reef kind) and cloud theme all over the packaging. It has a magnetic closing and you open up the left side first and then the right side to reveal the circular eyeshadow pans and long thin mirror inside. The outside theme continues to the inside, but the colours are lilac, pink, peach and orange with rose gold. The eyeshadow names come printed on a plastic sheet. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get six 1.33g eyeshadows/pressed pigments in Matte (M), Duo-Chrome (DC) and Shimmer (S) finishes.   ·          Rich and Velvety Texture ·          Smo...

Jeffree Star Cosmetics X Shane Dawson Conspiracy Palette

I managed to get my hands on the new JSC x Shane Dawson palette on launch day! It took a few hours to complete the purchase online, but I didn’t give up. I have been following the journey of the creation of the whole collection on YouTube and everything is eye catching. I decided to only pick up the main palette this time; I usually buy at least one liquid lipstick from every JSC collection launch. Also available from the collection was the Mini Controversy Palette. I really love the shades Controversy and My Apology from the palette, but I knew I wouldn’t get much use out of the other shades, which is why I decided against purchasing it. There are also six velour liquid lipsticks (none of the shades appealed to me), pig mirrors, make-up bags/cases, clear version of the gloss and a lip balm. I believe the lip balm is only available in the USA. You can buy the products in bundles or buy the items separately. The packaging of the Conspiracy Palette slightly resembles the cas...
