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 ♥

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 ...

Glossybox #19 - December 2015

I have been really looking forward to this box as I knew it would be rose gold themed. All the products were carefully selected by the Beauty Blogger ReallyRee, for this special looking limited edition Christmas box.  Here is what I received:- être belle Golden Skin Caviar Eye Roll On | 10ml - £30.66 | This product is a bit odd and really doesn’t appeal to me at all! So Susan Statement Skin Highlighter Pencil in Starlight | 1.8g - £15.00 | This is a very strange colour and the cream shape is odd too. I am not interested in this product one bit. I prefer light pink highlighters and this is a yellow gold shade, not flattering at all for my skin tone! COLLECTION Long Lasting Nail Effects in Touch of Glamour (31) | 8ml - £2.99 | This nail polish looks really pretty and it is definitely my kind of shade (rose gold). I am looking forwarded to trying it on my nails. I think it would look beautiful on it’s own. Hylamide Pore Delete | 10ml - £18.00...

Katie Price 'Stunning' Perfume VS JoJo Siwa 'Be You' Perfume - Are they the same?

I was browsing on AllBeauty.com and looking at celebrity fragrances and I saw that one was listed for JoJo Siwa. I had heard of JoJo before, but I don’t really know anything about her. I clicked on it out of interest and when I first saw the image of the perfume, I thought maybe the wrong photograph had been uploaded until I clicked on it and saw the description of the perfume. When I first saw the photograph, before I clicked on it to read the description, I instantly thought, that’s Stunning by Katie Price! I looked into it a bit more and compared it to Stunning. The JoJo Siwa “version” is called Be You. Photo Source: Perfume.com Stunning by Katie Price ·          Released in 2007 (12 years ago). ·          Contains the notes; Mandarin Orange, Jasmine & Patchouli. ·          Classed as a floral scent. ·       ...
