Product Empties #14


Product Empties #14

This product empties has been a long time coming. With moving it was a bit awkward trying to keep up with them! I had to collect a massive amount before moving then collecting more as usual once I was at my new home! So this product empties is a pretty big one to say the least!

Haircare

Batiste XXL Dry Shampoo and Batiste Dry Shampoo in Fresh

First off haircare. By now you guys know that dry shampoo always makes an appearance in my product empties - particularly the XXL volume variety! I won't sing its praises anymore as I feel I may be boring my regular readers but it truly is amazing. I also finished up an older can of the Batiste dry shampoo in fresh. Since I've been packing stuff away I have dug out and used up some remaining products! The fresh version is okay however I much prefer the XXL volume version!

L'Oreal Elvive Colour Protect Conditioning Protect Spray

I have mentioned the Elvive Colour Protect conditioning spray a few times in my empties. I will admit I haven't repurchased it since the move however I do plan on doing so. It really does leave your hair feeling smooth especially between deep conditioning.

Skincare

L'Oreal Skin Perfection Micellar Solution

Now we're on to skincare. The L'oreal Micellar solution took the beauty and blogging world by storm initially. Since then a lot of people, including myself, have noticed it can be drying on the eyes. Personally I won't be picking this up again as I love my Garnier one far too much now however it is a great one to pick up to experiment with if you are beginning to explore micellar waters.

Simple Kind To Skin Soothing Facial Toner

I occasionally like to use a toner just to get a slightly deeper clean. Lets face it sometimes when we use make-up remover it doesn't feel like it's done the job! The Simple Kind To Skin Soothing Facial Toner is the perfect toner for those of you that don't want anything too abrasive and harsh on the skin but are after a deeper clean that leaves the skin feeling fresh. Personally I will be repurchasing this after finishing up my Olay toner!

Soap & Glory The Scrub Of  Your Life

I own far too much Soap & Glory... lets get that out there! So I have been working on using up some of the bits and bobs I have! The first of those being the Soap & Glory Scrub of Your Life. I love this scrub for travel. It perfectly exfoliates whilst leaving a lovely lather behind. After using this my skin feels fresh and fully cleaned. I have tons of this stuff left but if ever I get through my many other containers yes I will be repurchasing it!

Soap & Glory Hand Food

I also managed to use up a tub of Hand Food by Soap & Glory. Anyone that knows me knows just how much I use hand cream and Hand Food by Soap & Glory has to be a beauty blogging cult favourite. Don't get me wrong it isn't an intense treatment for your hands but as far as moisturising goes it gets the job done fast with long lasting results.

Scents

Soft & Gentle Deodorant

Oh the usual boring items. Deodorant yes. I finished another... Should we just move on? You all must know by now Soft & Gentle is my go to!

Make-up

L'Oreal Studio Secrets Anti-Shine Mattifying Primer

It's very rare that I manage to get through make-up. A lot of you out there would agree it is the hardest thing to let go of! This L'Oreal Studio Secrets primer was my first ever primer and I really did love it. It is pretty much the same as the Smashbox Photo Finish primer. I'm not sure if they still make this but if they do I would totally pick it up as a cheaper alternative.

Nails

Nail Polish

Before I moved out I decided I needed to have a massive clear out of nail polishes. My collection was topping 70 and I was about to go back to work. I rarely paint my nails during term time so I knew now was the time to down size. A lot of these are colours that are either used up or are going off! If any of you are interested in seeing a blog post on my nail polish collection as it is today do let me know!

Other

Johnson's Baby Shampoo

I could have put this in hair care however I don't use this to wash hair so it would be a tad misleading! Like many others out there I use Johnsons baby shampoo to clean my brushes. It gets your brushes lovely and clean and isn't too harsh. As you can imagine I have already bought this again and will continue to do so! For those that are new to make-up and using brushes I would totally recommend good old baby shampoo!

Cotton Pads

Of course I couldn't finish off this blog post without including the usual cotton pads - a beauty must have! Good for removing make-up, nail polish and applying skincare. Always a good buy!

Well there you have it. Another product empties is out of the way! What products have you used up lately? Let me know in the comments below!

  1. I love empties posts, I just feel like I never use anything up! I love the idea of using baby shampoo for brush cleaning. I just use normal shampoo, but I might try this when I run out! :)

    1. Once I started keeping a bag of all the things I use up you really see how much you use! Even if it's just shampoo! It really is good to use on make-up brushes, very soft on them but gets them clean!

  2. I very rarely finish a nail polish, so I'm impressed if you've actually finished some of them! Also love that Soap and Glory hand cream - smells SO good!
