Empties!

Hey lovelies! So I filled up yet another bag of empties and thought I would share the products I have recently used up with you.

Physicians Formula Organic Wear Mascara - I did a post a while back on this mascara and if you happened to have read that then you know I really liked it. I like more natural looking lashes which, when applying just a little of this mascara, is what you get. I did find that it smudged a little bit on me though. 

Snow Fairy by Lush - This was my first time using Snow Fairy so I just went with the smaller bottle to see if I liked it but let me say, when it comes out again this year, I will definitely be picking up the larger bottle. Like most people, I loved it! 

Accessorize mini nail polish in Purple - I find the nail polishes in the Accessorize line to be pretty hit or miss - some I really like and apply nicely while some are just disappointing. I didn't get much use out of this one, even though I know it's just a mini bottle because it went gloopy pretty quick. I'm also not sure of the exact name because the mini bottles don't come with them.

Herbal Essences Coconut Hydrating Hair Mask - When I picked this up I didn't realise it was coconut scented and if I had realised, I wouldn't have bought it since I don't like coconut scents but I was pleasantly surprised by this and ended up really liking it. It leaves your hair feeling super soft.

Parma Violets Lip Balm - I saw this in Primark and decided to give it a go because I love the parma violet sweets and although this smelt nothing like the sweets, it was a pretty decent lip balm which I enjoyed using.

Maybelline Babylips - What can I say? I LOVE these lip balms but I find, since they are so soft, that I get through them really quickly. 

Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish - I'm not the biggest fan of cream type make up removers and tend to just remove my make up when I wash my face (with the acceptance of any stubborn mascara or eye shadow) but when my sister offered me her bottle of Cleanse and Polish which she didn't want, I decided to give it a go because I had heard so much about it. I ended up really liking this product and felt like it removed my make up really well. It's even gone through my mind to repurchase another bottle of it!

Not Your Mothers Shampoo - This shampoo smells amazing and I did really enjoy using it but I like a shampoo that lathers and this doesn't since it is a more natural product. 

Neutrogena Clear Pore Toner -  I'm pretty sure they're just a rebranded version of this Neutrogena toner you can pick up in Boots (which is currently my favourite toner) but these ones were bought in America so they're in a different looking bottle. This toner leaves your face feeling smooth and clean.

Do you enjoy reading empties posts? I'm not sure whether to make this my last one of not!

Friday Favourites

Hey guys, welcome to my first Friday Favourites! I'm not very good at doing a monthly favourite posts, I usually just don't have enough products to talk about. As a result of that, I've decided to start doing Friday Favourites, although not every week.. just when I have a few products that I'm loving and want to tell you about!

Macadamia Deep Repair Masque - I've already reviewed this product (which you can read by clicking here) so I wont talk about it too much but I'm still really liking the masque which I usually leave on for around 10-15 minutes for silky soft hair. I have found a highstreet mask which I'm also loving also, so stay tuned for a blog post and review on that soon!

Not Your Mother's Way To Grow Shampoo - I've been really picky with shampoo lately and keep finding they leave my hair feeling knotty and hard to manage but this one not only smells amazing but didn't leave me with knotty hair and made it feel clean and soft instead. I'm almost out of this and going to be sad when it's gone because the product isn't readily available in the UK

Essie's Ladylike nail polish - Ladylike is my go to polish when I want something on my nails but not sure what or when I just can't decide on a colour to wear. It's a subtle nude with a pale purple hint to it. I think Ladylike is a perfect name for this polish as it brings in a chic almost classy look to your nails, which I love. 

Maybelline Babylips in Quenched - I love the Babylips balms but in particular I like the clear ones as you can apply them without a mirror and not worry about them getting all over your face. I think these might be the softest balms I've ever used but that means I do find myself getting through them pretty quick.

Soap and Glory Sexy MotherPucker lipgloss in Punchbowl - I was given this as as unwanted gift from my sister and at £9 I don't think it's something I would have purchased myself but I really like this gloss. It has a plumping formula so has that tingly sensation after you apply it but I love the colour and find that this actually stays put on my lips for longer than I expected. I like this so much I think I may just pick up another colour!

Well those are my favourites for this week!

Empties!

As you can see, I've managed to get through quiet a lot of products but it has been over the course of a few months. That lip balm with the red lid and no label was a Carmex one - I seem to pull the labels off things when I'm coming to the end of them forgetting I want to take pictures of them for a blog post! I really like the Carmex lipbalms, especially in the twisty tubes like that one. Behind the Aussie conditioner is a Tresemme heat defense spray.. I need to organise my pictures better!

Tresemme shampoo - Ah! I am SO happy to be done with this shampoo. I don't think it's the greatest shampoo in the world and it's just far too big. I had trouble holding the bottle and I got bored of it half way through. 

Tresemme heat defense spray - I like this but I'm not sure whether it really does any good. I have another bottle on the go at the moment but once this one is gone I may look for a different one to try out. What are you favourites?

Natural Collection mascara in brown - I really liked this mascara considering it was under £2 but then I like natural looking lashes which is exactly what this gave me. If you like your lashes to look like you're wearing a lot of mascara then I don't think this is the one for you.

Babylips lipbalm in quenched - I've tried a few of the Babylips balms but this is my favourite. Since it's clear you don't need to worry about applying it without a mirror which for me, is something I don't want to worry about when applying a lip balm.

Collection concealer - While I like this concealer for covering blemishes I just find it breaks me out so although that tube in the picture isn't fully finished - I won't be using it anymore.

Soap and Glory smoulder kohl eyeliner pencil in black - I love this eyeliner! It  smooth and stays put all day. I could get some more use out of it but I lose the lid to it and it's now covered in other make up so I've decided to get rid of it.

Some further reviews of some of the other products can be seen by clicking the following links: Lush Mask of Magnaminty, Nip + Fab Pistachio Sundae body butter and Soap and Glory Smoulder Kohl eyeliner pencil,
