Blogmas #30 | Empties #12 - December 2013

I have used quite a few Glade candles this month, they are my new love! It’s nice to throw away a few things before the New Year and I hope to use a lot more stuff up next year because I hope to re-decorate my room. Here is what I have used and will be disposing of shortly!

It has taken me the longest time to use up this lip balm, over a year actually! It is a decent product and what sold me was the scent, it smells amazing. It smells so amazing that not long after purchasing I got two more tubes. It really is moisturising but it does take a while to soak in, which is why I only used it at night and I applied extra. After I’ve used up my other two tubes, I will not be re-purchasing because I actually prefer solid lip balms in stick form because it is not as messy and it tends to soak in a lot quicker.
10g | £2.69

Glade Candle in Brazilian Mango Flower
I’ve used up another Glade candle. This one had a really soft scent and I really liked burning it.
120g | £5

Glade Candle in Sparkling Spruce (LE)
I regretted buying this one a bit. When I smelt it in store I didn’t like it, but because it was on offer and I didn’t have that one, I bought it anyway. Luckily, you can’t really smell it when it is burning. It just smells really warm and woody and it did grow on me a little, but I wouldn’t buy it again!
120g | £5

It has taken me a long time to use this perfume up. It has the Mist You Madly scent and I do quite like it, but it has a slight manly scent to it. It is also very strong and lasts quite a long time when sprayed, considering it is an eau de toilette. It has notes of bergamot, cassis, magnolia, freesia, vanilla and musk. I have reviewed it here. It was nice, but I probably wouldn’t re-purchase it. It has also gone up in price quite a bit; it was £15 when it was first released!
50ml | £22.99

This was my first bottle of this spray and I love it! Unlike most of the other heat protectants I have tried; this doesn’t make my hair appear greasy. Since using it I have also noticed my hair is in a lot better condition than it was because I straighten my hair near enough every day. My hair also feels very smooth and looks sleek after use. I have already re-purchased this.
300ml | £4.79

I have been using this new deodorant lately and I quite like it, as you can see from my many used cans! It is basically the same as the last one I was using, but is mean’t to be a more ‘Xtreme’ version. It does work, but I can’t say much about the stain prevention because it depends on what you wear. The thing I find annoying about it is that, not every shop sells it and the shops that do sell it, only have it in the roll on cream version or the small version I have! I would continue to re-purchase though.
150ml | £1

Glade Candle in Garden Sunshine (LE)
This one smells exactly like the spray. It smells divine! The only problem I had was that you couldn’t really smell it when it was burning. I would probably still buy it again because I love the spray version so much!
120g | £5

This mascara is brilliant! It volumises, defines and separates, as well as being smudge-proof and clump free. You can’t even feel it on your lashes, because the formula is so light and soft because it is a gel mousse. I would definitely re-purchase and I 100% recommend it.
9.6ml | £7.99

Glade Candle in Spiced Pomegranate (LE)
This is a limited edition scent for Winter 2013 and it smells gorgeous.
120g | £5

Cussons Pure Shower Gel in Zesty Lemon Burst
I bought this because I fancied a lemon scented shower gel for a change from Soap & Glory. This one was inexpensive and it smelled gorgeous. It wasn’t a bad shower gel, but it didn’t foam up as well as others I have tried. I will not be re-purchasing it.
500ml | 59p

Glade Candle in With Love
This is one of my favourites. It smells quite florally and it is a very nice and delicate scent. I would re-purchase it and I hope I can find the room spray somewhere, if Glade does one.
120g | £5

I’ve finished another packet of these and I bought the six pack again.
64 Wipes | 87p

I have used another one of these and I still love it! PLEASE Soap & Glory bring out a bigger desk size to fit in the metal cradle you once sold.
50ml | £2.50

Glade Candle in Blackberry Frost (LE)
This too is a limited edition scent for Winter 2013 and it smells gorgeous and the colour of these look amazing! I also purchased the room spray in this scent. I can’t decide whether I like this one or the spiced pomegranate the best.
120g | £5

I saw this was quite inexpensive for an Oral B mouthwash and decided to get two bottles, thinking I would try something new and thinking it would be good because it is made by Oral B. It is not a bad mouthwash; it is just not special like I wanted it to be! Once the second bottle has gone, I will go back to my beloved Listerine!
500ml | £2.99

Glade Candle in Honey & Chocolate
This is the most recent one I have finished burning. It is definitely a favourite of mine and it is the first one in this scent I have had. It smells amazing and kind of reminds me of sandalwood and the Hilary Duff With Love perfume.
120g | £5

I have been using this shampoo for a while now and it is ok and I am continuing using it.
450ml | £4.99

Morrisons Total Care Breath Freshening Spray
I am still using this product.
12.5ml | £2.50

I thought I would finally throw this away, even though it is not quite empty. I am just not keen on the texture.
20g | £1.99

This is a brilliant mascara and gives your lashes length and mega volume. I would consider re-purchasing this. A review will be coming soon!
11ml | £6.99

Do you have any recommendations for things for me to try? You will probably see a lot more Glade candles in my empties posts. I am ADDICTED!

What products have you used up lately?

Serial Sampler #16

I have a mascara sample I would like to share with you today. It is  False Lashes Extreme Black  by  MAC  and it is a 1g sample of the full size mascara. It is supposed to make your lashes appear thick, voluminous and full feathered with its ultra-thickening carbon black pigment mousse like formula. It should also lengthen, curl and separate your lashes and it should be long wearing, flake proof and smudge proof. This mascara does add quite a bit volume to your lashes, as well as length, separation and definition. It also slightly curls the tips of your lashes. I’m not sure if the ultra-thickening formula and carbon black pigment really adds anything extra and I wouldn’t say that it really gives you a full feathered look. It was easy to apply and after a couple of coats you are good to go. The effects do last all day, it is smudge-proof but not flake proof and I do like the small thin and precise brush. I did enjoy using this mascara and I would be int...

Birchbox #2 - July 2014

This is my second ever Birchbox (arrived yesterday) and I was interested to see if it beat last month’s box. I got another free lifestyle extra, so I am assuming you get one every month! Here is what I received this month:- Models Own Nail Polish in Sparkler | £5 – ModelsOwnIt.com | This is my first ever Models Own nail polish and it is from the Fireworks collection. It looks like a very pretty top coat, but I’m not sure if I would actually use it. Only time will tell! Balance Me Wonder Eye Cream | £20 (15ml) – BalanceMe.co.uk | I have owned a lip balm from this brand before and this eye cream does sound interesting. I will give it a go because I am always on the lookout for a new/different eye cream. LAQA & CO Lip Lube in Menatour | £14.95 (full size) – LAQAandCO.co.uk | I have never heard of this brand before and this product looks very interesting. It is a cute mini size and the colour is a bright purple. It is not something I would typically we...

LOOKFANTASTIC BEAUTY BOX #6 - October 2020

I was hoping to have posted about this last Thursday, but it took a while for my box to arrive. There was an issue with some people’s subscriptions and it mean’t some orders were not generated for existing subscribers. The issue was corrected and I have now received my box. Last month’s box was the Birthday Edition and this month we have the Retreat Edition with an indigo themed box. The six items inside the box should be worth over £58.00 altogether! Here is what I received this month:- GLOV Hair Wrap | £14.99 | This hair towel is made of from microfibres, which means it is gentler for your hair. I use a hair wrap towel every time I wash my hair, so this will come in very handy. I usually prefer darker colour towels as white ones look grubby after a while. | Full Size - £14.99 | ECOOKING Overnight Foot Cream | 30ml - £8.10 | This foot cream is supposed to remove dead skin as well as moisturise. It works best overnight and it is recommend that you wear socks over the cr...
