Empties #10 - August & September 2013

I have combined two month’s worth of empties again. At the end of August my box wasn’t that full, so I decided to carry on collecting and hope I use up more stuff. The majority of stuff I used up was necessities as usual, but there are some extra bits too. Here is what I managed to use up within two months:-

Morrisons So Clear Dual Action Moisturiser | 100ml
I have used another tube of this and have already re-purchased it. It works really well and doubles as a hand cream and most importantly, it is very inexpensive.
Price - £1.49

Listerine Total Care Mouthwash in Clean Mint (Purple) | 500ml
This is my favourite mouthwash and I have already re-purchased it. Although I get it for around £2.99, I still wish it was cheaper.
Price - £4.60

Right Guard Women Total Defence 5 48H Invisible Power Anti-Perspirant Deodorant | 150ml + 250ml
I have used more of these as usual and I still haven’t found anything that is better. I have however found a cheaper place to buy it for just over £1.
Price - £2+

Schwarzkopf Palette Intensive Cream Colour | 678 Ruby Red
I died my hair with this again because my dark brown roots were beginning to show. My hair didn’t stay as red this time, but my hair still looks like my regular red toned mahogany brown shade after I have washed my hair a few times.
Price - £3.98

Head & Shoulders 2-in-1 Anti-Dandruff Shampoo + Conditioner in Citrus Fresh | 450ml
This was my first bottle of the 2-in-1 kind and I love it. It makes my hair feel really soft and I have found it makes a huge difference to dandruff, whereas the regular citrus did nothing for me. It is also great for people who can’t be bothered with using a separate conditioner. It is healthier for my hair because I have to wash it every day and before I NEVER used conditioner because I couldn’t be bothered and now the 2-in-1 means I still don’t have to bother, but this time I am gaining something. I have already re-purchased it and will continue to do so!
Price - £4.99

Soap & Glory The Greatest Scrub of All™ | 125ml
This was my first tube of this facial exfoliator and it didn’t do much for my skin. It cleared dead skin and cleaned my face, but it didn’t do anything for my pores. I just don’t think it was abrasive enough. It smelled nice, but I will not be re-purchasing it!
Price - £9

Maybelline Volum’ Express The Rocket Mascara | 9.6ml
This was my first tube of this mascara and I really like it. It gives yours lashes volume, separation, definition and it is clump free. It does sometimes transfer a little, but it is a great mascara overall and the brush and overall formula is similar to my beloved Maybelline One by One, which is still one of my favourites. I probably won’t re-purchase this one for a while because I have quite a few on my list to try out before I make a re-purchase!
Price - £7.99

Morrisons Total Care Breath Freshening Spray | 12.5ml
I am still using this kind and have already re-purchased.
Price - £2.50

Soap & Glory Hand Maid Hand Cleansing Gel | 50ml
This is my third bottle and I still love it. I have already re-purchased it. I still wish they did a large pump size to match the hand cream.
Price - £2.50

ASDA Little Angels Baby Wipes (fragrance free) | 64 wipes
I have used another packet of these and they are just basic wipes that I used to take my make-up off with at night. They also come in a big box of six for £4.50.
Price - 78p

Impulse Body Spray in Love Puzzle (LE) | 75ml
This was my first can of this scent and I love it. Unfortunately it is limited edition, but I have still seen it in local discount stores. It is a soft fruity scent with notes, such as, plum, apricot, mango, peony and sandalwood. It does last a while on the skin and it is a great scent for summer. I have already reviewed it here.
Price - £1.99

Morrisons Savers Shaving Foam | 250ml
I’ve used up another can of this. It works and is very inexpensive.
Price - 49p

febreze Mist & Refresh in Cotton Fresh | 300ml
I’ve had several cans of this room/linen spray before and I love it. It smells really clean, fresh and homely. From my experience you can’t go wrong with the febreze sprays.
Price - £3

Soap & Glory The Fab Pore™ 2-in-1 Facial Mask & Peel | 50g
This was my first tub of this mask and I was excited to try it. It is supposed to unclog and shrink pores, as well as preventing spots. After using it, I haven’t noticed changes to my skin at all, apart from my face felt smoother and looked brighter after using it. My pores are still clogged and I still got spots. Also in it’s title it says it is a peel, but you actually have to wipe it off with a flannel. I probably won’t buy it again and I think the actual problem is my face. I have tried countless products, mostly Soap & Glory and they don’t seem to want to fight my pores!
Price - £10

Glade Room Spray in Garden Sunshine (LE) | 275ml
This was my first can of this scent and it is my favourite. It smells gorgeous and my Sister now loves it too. It’s so fresh, clean and sweet floral smelling. It is definitely a great summer room/linen spray, but I would use it all year round! Sadly, this was limited edition, but luckily for me I bought two back-ups. When I have finished the other two, I would definitely go and try other scents from Glade, but not the aerosol kind because from past experience they are rubbish!
Price - £3

Impulse Body Spray in Loving Words | 75ml
At first I wasn’t overly keen on this scent because of the raspberry, but since I started using it to use it up; it has really grown on me. It is strong smelling and really fruity and it will last a while on your body. Since I got my can, which was my first, the packaging has been re-designed and now looks very plain in comparison.
Price - £1.99

I hope you enjoyed this post and I hope to have a lot more reviews posted soon!

Thank You & Bye ♥

Serial Sampler #43

I decided to purchase a sample of this perfume online as I missed out on the free sample offer on Facebook (I had no idea it was being offered). Lady GaGa is the face of the advertising campaign for this fragrance and the television adverts feature a reworked snippet of her song ‘Sine From Above’.   It is Voce Viva by Valentino and it is a 1.2ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum.   “ A couture and feminine bouquet of white flowers that gives Italian tradition a contemporary edge. ” Launched: 2020   Type: Floral Woody Musk / Feminine Notes Top: Mandarin Orange, Bergamot and Ginger. Middle: Orange Blossom and Gardenia. Base: Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Musk, Sandalwood and Oakmoss. This is a very soft floral scent and it smells lovely. It dries down very light and not overpowering, which is nice but I feel like it could be a little stronger as it smells quite weak on me. I can detect the Bergamot, Vanilla, Musk and Sandalwood notes. It is my type of floral scent even tho...

Escada Collector's Edition Gift Set

I’ve always been interested in trying Escada fragrances, but there are so many to choose from and I didn’t want to risk buying a full size bottle. I came across this little gift set whilst I was shopping online at Boots and clicked buy straight away! All four fragrances are in a tiny, but cute 4ml potion looking bottle. Here are the four scents you get to try:- TURQUOISE SUMMER This bottle is a turquoise/clear theme and contains the notes; pineapple, strawberry, raspberry, blackcurrant, peach, violet, orange blossom, vanilla, sandalwood and musk. It smells really strong of orange blossom and kind of like a car air freshener. It does linger quite a while on the skin, but it is not really a strong scent. Overall I don’t like this scent. It doesn’t really smell of anything to me and what you can smell isn’t what I would call pleasant. I give this perfume 1/5 . BORN IN PARADISE This bottle’s theme is the same as Turquoise Summer and contains the notes; green apple, watermelo...

Serial Sampler #41

An advertisement popped up on Facebook with an offer of a free sample of this new fragrance and I clicked straight away! I have previously tested the original scent of this fragrance line and I loved it, so I was also expecting to like this one.   It is Born In Roma Yellow Dream by Valentino and it is a 1.2ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum.   “ A floral lift of a thousand rose petals, twisted with a new clean and fresh addiction. ” Launched: 2021   Type: Floral / Feminine (Donna) Notes Top: Italian Lemon. Middle: Rose Essence. Base: Clean Accord and White Musks. This is a very soft and delicate floral scent with a fresh musk hint. It is definitely more floral smelling than the original Born In Roma fragrance. I can’t really detect the Italian Lemon. I can pick-up a fruity sort of hint, but it definitely isn’t lemon to me. I can detect the very light Rose Essence and White Musk and it does smell like a clean scent. It smells like a lovely spring day to me. I w...
