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?

Boots Fragrance Sampler Gift Set for Her 2015

I decided to treat myself to this little fragrance set. As you know, I am a perfume addict and I’m quite addicted to collecting perfume samples too! It’s this year’s Boots Fragrance Sampler set for Her. I saw last year’s advertised but I always thought it was a little expensive for what you get. The set basically contains eight samples of Boots best-selling female fragrances by other brands. The set comes in a small, thin cardboard box and each sample is set inside a plastic insert. You also get a small fragrance guide and the voucher, which is what you’ll need to get your full size bottle of your favourite sample. The eight samples in this year’s set are:- HUGO BOSS - Boss Ma Vie This is a 2ml sample vile in pipette form and can be exchanged for a 30ml bottle of the eau de parfum. “Inspired by the independent spirit of a woman, exuding a glow of femininity and confidence. Created around the cactus blossom, aiming to reinvent and modernize floral green notes ...

Jeffree Star Cosmetics Jawbreaker Palette

I bought this palette back when it first launched (summer 2019) and I was interested in it so I could experiment more with bright colours. The colour selection definitely doesn’t disappoint and I was expecting it to be the same quality as the Blood Sugar Palette, if not slightly better! The packaging is quite a large rectangular shape and made out of metallic pink cardboard with colourful dots/dashes all over representing a jawbreaker pattern. The name of the palette is in a slightly raised font. It has a magnetic closing which you lift to reveal the twenty-four eyeshadow pans arranged on a white background. The other side is the same pattern as the front cover with a mirror. You can purchase it for £54.00 ($58.00) from JeffreeStarCosmetics.com and BeautyBay.com. You get twenty-four 1.50g eyeshadows in Matte (M), Shimmer (S) and Metallic (ME) finishes. Swatch Stencil: Stripes Double 14 Pan by SwatchPerfect.co.uk Virgin - bone white (M) Good Morning - soft pink ...

Make-Up Declutter 2022

This is the last ever declutter post I will be sharing with you. I have lost interest in really experimenting with my make-up looks so I thought it was time for another declutter.

The brands of products I have decluttered are; BECCA, Benefit, Kaleidos, MAC and theBalm.   EYES Single Powder Eyeshadows - 9 Single Cream Eyeshadows - 3 Single Liquid Eyeshadows - 1   That is a total of 13 eye products.
