Empties #15 - March 2014

I have another Empties for you. I’ve not used up much this month I’m afraid. It’s mostly body care items because I’ve been doing more buying and using!

Lady GaGa Fame Shower Gel
This shower gel was quite good. It lathered really well and the scent was strong too, just like the perfume! The colour of the gel was also black and then it turns grey when lathered. Although I liked it, I wouldn’t purchase it separately.
200ml | £15

I have used up several cans of this scent over the years, and I won’t stop now! It is my second favourite scent from Impulse and I LOVE it!
75ml | £1.99

Morrisons So Clear Dual Action Moisturiser
I have used this before and it is just a basic product, but it works and it is inexpensive.
100ml | £1.49

Cien BodyCare Classic Anti-Perspirant Deodorant
I still love this deodorant.
200ml | 75p

I’ve used up yet another packet and I still have more of them to get through!
64wipes | 87p

Morrisons Instant Fresh Breath Freshening Spray
I am still using this too.
12.5ml | £2.50

I really liked using this powder and I think it might be my favourite. I already have it reviewed here.
10g | £3.99

This is my second tube of this mascara and it makes your lashes look longer, fuller and more voluminous. The effects last all day and it is easy to apply, even though the brush is huge and the formula is clump free!
10ml | £10

This was my first packet and I bought them just to try them because sometimes I am too tired to moisturise my face at night and I thought these would be a good cheat. They are not bad, but too expensive for what they are and you only get fifteen wipes in a packet. They smell nice, but I’m not overly keen on the scent of melon. I probably wouldn’t re-purchase them.
15wipes | £3.95

This was my first can of this deodorant because I ran out of the one I was using and this was the most convenient to buy in the shop I was in. It is a very good deodorant, but not that different to the Cien one, apart from the Nivea one has a sort of silky scent. I prefer unscented deodorants, because sometimes when you sweat the scent from the deodorant can get into your clothes and after a while it can make them smell funny, especially if you are extra sweaty one day. I would re-purchase it though, if I come in need.
150ml | £2.50

Glade Candle in Honey & Chocolate
This is my fourth candle of this scent and I still love it! It reminds me so much of sandalwood and I will definitely be re-purchasing this again soon.
120g | £5

Glade Room Spray in Sparkling Floral (LE)
This was my first can of this scent and it was quite nice. I also used up the matching candle last month. It is not my top scent from Glade, but I would re-purchase.
275ml | £3

Schwarzkopf Palette Intensive Cream Colour in 678 Ruby Red
This is the last box I have to use up and then I think I might try a lighter brunette shade next time. But I love this colour and I think I would miss it too much, but we shall see!
115ml | £3.98

Morrisons Savers Shaving Foam
I have used up another can of this.
250ml | 49p

Dentalux Coolmint Mouthwash
I decided to try this because it was convenient and cheap to get. I probably wouldn’t get it again because I am used to the strength of the Listerine mouthwashes. If you want something gentle and inexpensive, give this a go.
500ml | 49p

I used up my last can of this deodorant and it is good, but it doesn’t beat my new favourite by Cien!
150ml | £1

A few make-up products are nearing their end, so you may get to see them in an Empties soon, which will be a big change. I think I may start doing these posts every two months again, because I am mostly using up body care items and they are not as interesting as make-up or other beauty related products. I am however, still trying to get lots of reviews planned because I have quite a few new Benefit products to try, so keep your eyes peeled for that. But for now, it’s sayonara!

What have you used up this month?

Perfume Power! - Harajuku Lovers 'G'

I received this perfume as an Easter gift from a family member. The bottle design is really cute. It has a doll figure cap, which lifts off and the actual bottle is clear and simple glass, it kind of has a flower shaped base. The size I have is very small, so it is handy for your handbag. And I suppose you could keep the doll for collector’s purposes, when you have used up the perfume. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Crisp Mandarin, Fresh Coconut & Apple Skin Middle Notes: Jasmine Sambac, Soft Freesia & Magnolia Vapour Base Notes: Coconut Cream, White Sandalwood & Cottonwoods To me it smells really strong for an eau de toilette. I quite like the scent because it is very feminine and quite sweet. The only thing I don’t like about it is the coconut. I don’t really like the coconut scent anyway. Other than that, it smells amazing, until the coconut hits your nose. I can also smell the floral side to it as well, the coconut does complement the flor...

Graze - Box #10

I have another Graze box post for you today. I am thinking of stopping these posts soon because it is starting to feel compulsory and I need to post more relevant beauty related content. A closer look at my treats. Graze’s Popping Corn ‘Lightly Salted’ I have tried this before and it is really nice and not overly salty. You get quite a bit of corn in the bag too, even though it is a small packet. Lightly Toasted Pistachios “Whole pistachios toasted with a little salt” I have had this packet before too and I just love pistachios! Tomato & Basil Pizza “Basil crunchini, cheese cashews & mini tomato breadsticks” This is my first experience with this packet, but each snack has been in other packets I have tried before. The crunchini is very nice and it’s just like croutons. The cheese cashews are nice and I do still really like the tomato breadsticks/baguettes. Herby Bread Basket “Basil baguettes, garlic crostini and oregano ric...

Glamour Magazine - July 2013

Yesterday I picked up the new edition of Glamour Magazine, well three copies of them actually! It is the July 2013 edition and you get a choice of five free MODEL CO products and four different magazine covers ( Rebel Wilson , Zooey Deschanel , Myleene Klass & Daniel Radcliffe ). I have never heard of the MODEL CO brand before, but judging by their website, they are marketed as high end. I’m not sure what size the items in the magazines are, but I have listed the full sizes and prices below. FIBRE LASHXTEND Mascara - £28 SHINE Ultra Lip Gloss in Strip Tease - £12 SHINE Ultra Lip Gloss in Showgirl Red - £12 COLOURBOX Eye Pencil in Black 01 - £14 LIP ENHANCER Illusion Lip Liner - £16 I decided to pick up two copies because this month’s edition is £1 instead of £2. I got the FIBRE LASHXTEND Mascara and COLOURBOX Eye Pencil in Black 01 .  When I got home and I opened them, I soon realised the eyeliner box was empty! L All the plastic packaging was inta...
