Empties #9 - July 2013

I have another empties post for you. I’ve used a few products this month and some different types too. So let’s get in to them:-

*Ted Baker Body Spray in Origami – 150ml
This is a strong woody scent and it is quite feminine and it does smell nice, but it is not my typical scent. I enjoyed using it and it does linger on your skin, but I will not be re-purchasing it. I have already reviewed it here.
Price - £5

Listerine Total Care Mouthwash in Clean Mint (Purple) – 500ml
I’ve used up another bottle of my current favourite mouthwash! This mouthwash leaves your mouth feeling really clean and I will continue to re-purchase.
Price - £4.60

Soap & Glory Clean, Girls™ Body Wash – 500ml
This was my first bottle of this scent and it is my favourite Soap & Glory body wash. I love it because it is in my beloved Mist You Madly scent! It is expensive for a body wash but it is very creamy and it lathers really well, but most of all it lasts for ever. I won’t be re-purchasing yet because I have two other Soap & Glory body washes to use up.
Price - £6

Schwarzkopf Palette Intensive Cream Colour – 678 Ruby Red
I always use this particular hair dye when I dye my hair. It is a really bright coppery red and after a few weeks my hair stays a similar red/brown colour until my roots start to grow through, which is typically when I get a haircut and dye it. I always buy this from a discount store and it is usually around £1.99.
Price - £3.98

ASDA Little Angels Baby Wipes (fragrance free) – 64 wipes
These are just basic wipes really and I happened to be in ASDA when I need some, so I chose these because they came in a big box of six for £4.50.
Price - 78p

Purity Plus+ Deep Pore Cleansing 2 in 1 Cleansing & Toning Lotion – 150ml
This was my first bottle because I wanted to try it. I bought it because I was already using a cleanser like this, but this one is a toner too so I thought it would be better than the one I was using. I really like this and my face felt so clean after using it. I used it every morning before moisturising. I will be re-purchasing it but I am currently finishing off a Morrisons cleanser.
Price - 99p

Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer in 010 Ivory – 7ml
This is my current favourite concealer and I love it! It conceals signs of fatigue, adapts to your skin tone, brightens your under eye area and looks flawless. It definitely recommend it and I have already re-purchased it. I have reviewed it here.
Price - £5.99

Right Guard Women Total Defence 5 48H Invisible Power Anti-Perspirant Deodorant – 250ml
I still love this and still keep re-purchasing it!
Price - £2+

dermaV10 Re-Energiser Eye Roll-On – 15ml
This is supposed to make your eyes look wide awake and minimise the blue/purple tones under your eye, for a temporary effect. It should also make the under eye smooth, so it is a good base to apply concealer over. It does slightly work if the blue/purple tones aren’t very strong, but other than that it doesn’t do much. Having said that it is cooling and makes your under eye area smooth ready for concealer, but I could live without it so I will not be re-purchasing. I also already bought a different eye cream to test.
Price - £2.49

Soap & Glory DR SPOT™ Invisible Spot Fighting Gel – 15ml
It took me a very long time to finally finish this product! It does work and it does dry spots out really well, but I found that’s all it did for me. It still took a long time for the redness to go. It is ok, but I wouldn’t re-purchase it because it is expensive for what it is.
Price - £8

Soap & Glory The Breakfast Scrub™ – 300ml
This was my second tub of this and I still love it. It is not too abrasive, but definitely makes your skin feel soft and even for a couple of days after use. I will not be re-purchasing it straight away because I am now working my way through a different body scrub from Soap & Glory.
Price - £8

Soap & Glory Peaches And Clean™ – 200ml
I think this was my third bottle of this and I still really like using it. The packaging has recently been re-designed and now looks a lot plainer (click here to see). It has also gone up £1 in price, but I will still continue to purchase it because it really works for my skin. I already have a backup, so no need to run out and buy another one just yet!
Price - £8

Glade Aerosol in Relaxing Zen – 300ml
I got this because I thought it was similar to one Glade used to do called Pure Zen. Pure Zen was really strong and lovely. This one does smell near enough the same, but it is not strong at all. You can barely smell it once you have sprayed it, so needless to say I will not be re-purchasing it.
Price - £3

Maybelline One by One Volum’ Express Mascara – 10.4ml
I had the shade Very Black and this was my second tube of this mascara. This was one of my favourite ever mascaras and has sadly been discontinued! It gave my lashes volume, length, definition, separation and most importantly, no clumps! Farewell my lovely! L
Price - £8.49

Soap & Glory Foam Call™ Body Wash – 500ml
This was my first bottle of this scent and it is really nice. It is the Soap & Glory Fruitigo scent and it is the same quality as the other scents. It lathers really well and lasts a very, very long time. I would re-purchase.
Price - £6.50

I hope you enjoyed reading. I think my next empties post will be a two month one, but it depends how much I use up next month.

Thanks for reading! J

Glossybox #25 - February 2019

This is my third Glossybox since I re-subscribed last year. It is also the Valentine’s Day themed box. I would say that so far, this box seems to be the one most tailored to my usual interests. I received seven products in this box, technically six because two go hand in hand. HUDA BEAUTY Lip Contour in Venus This lip pencil formula is supposed to be waterproof and transfer-free. It should glide on effortlessly and give your lips an intense shot of colour. You can use it to contour or colour your lips or pair it with a lipstick. Venus is a warm beige nude shade. It glides onto your lips very easy, but it feels a little tacky when you fill your whole lips in with it. I’m not sure how often I would use this seeing as though I have never used lip liner. I prefer liquid lipsticks and I don’t feel the need to line my lips before applying it. | 1.20g - £16.00 | NAILS INC Nail Varnish in Status Ready This nail polish should be long lasting and super glossy. It is a deep che

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

e.l.f Earth & Ocean Palette

I haven’t purchased anything from e.l.f in the longest time. I happened upon a post of this palette on Instagram and the complimentary comments really peaked my interest in trying it for myself. Palettes I have tried from e.l.f. in the past haven’t been the greatest of quality; I kind of associate the brand as being for children, beginners or natural beauty wearers. I was also interested in the Retro Paradise Palette , but I thought I would get more use out of this one at the moment.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is quite simple with a clear/black outlined plastic rectangular shape. The fronting is transparent so that you can see the eyeshadows from the outside of the palette. It has a clip closing, which you push apart to reveal the inside. The square eyeshadow pans are spread out across a black base and the shade names are printed in grey font under each pan. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get eighteen 0.94g eyeshadows in Matte (M), Metallic (ME), Glitter (G), Satin (S) and Shimmer
