Empties #2 - October 2012

I am going to try and do these posts monthly, but I don’t tend to use a lot of stuff up, apart from boring products, such as, deodorant and mouthwash. But I promise I will try!

T-Zone Clear Pore Anti-Bacterial Cleanser – 200ml

Since using this I haven’t really noticed a difference, apart from my forehead may look shiner as this has oil in it. I am already working my way through a second bottle, so I will be able to ‘monitor’ it! I am going to try a different cleanser though, when the second bottle has gone.

£2.99 – click here!

Dove Invisible Dry Deodorant – 250ml

I am still using this and I currently have three back-ups.

£3.69 – click here!

Tesco Baby Ultra Soft Fragranced Wipes (alcohol free) – 64 Wipes

I got these because they were on a 3 for 2 offer. I just used them to wipe my make-up off before I wash my face. I am currently working my way through the third packet.

98p – click here!

Morrisons Large Oval Cotton Wool Pads (100% cotton) – 50 pads

I got these because of a 3 for £1 offer. This was my first packet and I am currently using the second. I use them in the morning with my face cleanser.

40p – no link can be found!

Maybelline Define-A-Lash Volume Mascara – 6.5ml

I bought the shade Very Black and I really enjoyed using this mascara. It is definitely one I would consider re-purchasing in the future.

£8.19 – click here!

Morrisons Daily Care Mouthwash in Cool Mint – 500ml

This was my fourth bottle and I re-purchased a different one by mistake, I think it is the same, but stronger. I shall see!

49p – no link can be found!

Thanks for reading! J

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...
