Beauty ¦ February empties

I've actually finished quite a lot this month, it's been one of those months where things have run out on me without any warning. We've got quite a lot to get through today so i'm going to stop wittering on and get on with it. 

L'oreal Nude magique blur cream - Repurchase: Most likely

This is a really nice more affordable version of Benefit's porefessional, I don't quite like it as much but due to the Benefit one being almost £25 I don't use it everyday so it's nice to have an alternative. It's not quite as blurring and smoothing as the porefessional but it works well for an everyday basis. 

L'oreal True match foundation - Repurchase: Yes

This is my all time favourite drugstore foundation, I wasn't the biggest fan of it when my skin was on the more oily side however now it's a little more combination it's just stunning. I haven't actually got round to repurchasing it yet however I need to get on and pick it up. 

Seventeen Stay time concealer - Repurchase: Yes Yes Yes 

This is another of my all time favourites this is just the best drugstore concealer I've ever used. It's super high coverage whilst not being cakey or drying. You won't need to hear me talk about this if you're a regular reader as i'm a little obsessed. 

Collection Lasting perfection concealer - Repurchase: No! 

I hate this stuff, it's been sat in my stash for ages and i've just decided it's time to let it go. I find it so drying and I find it cakes so badly no matter where I put it on my face. 

The Body shop Camomile cleansing butter - Repurchase: Probably 

This is really lovely and it's super effective for removing makeup with. It makes the skin feel really clean without feeling stripped. Due to it being a butter it makes the skin feel beautifully moisturized. It's definitely a good one and it's brill if you've got dehydrated skin. 

Lady Gaga Fame eau de toilette - Repurchase: I already had a back up bottle. 

I love this stuff so much I asked my mum to buy me a backup bottle for christmas as it's just amazing. It's a quite sweet scent however it has a little hint of musk so it cuts through the sweetness and balances it. 

The Body shop Strawberry body butter - Repurchase: Not this scent 

I mentioned when the shower gel in this scent was in my empties that I'm not the biggest fan of the strawberry scent. I really like the body shop body butters and I will continue to purchase them for the foreseeable future. 

Soap and glory Whipped clean Shower butter - Repurchase: Yes 

This stuff smells amazing, I reviewed it //Here//  I love it so much and it smells amazing. It doesn't stop me moisturizing on top but it does help and adds a little moisture so if I am in a massive rush I can skip moisturizer. 

Yankee Candle Sparkling cinnamon - Repurchase: LE christmas scent

I really liked this but I'm in no massive rush to pick it up again, I like the cinnamon scent but it's not something that I'd burn at this time if year however I may pick up another cinnamon scent next christmas. 

Beauty ¦ January Empties

Another month, another lot of empty products. This month I didn't get through much as December was one of those months where everything seemed to run out so there was a whole lot of starting new bottles and tubes before January. 

Batiste Tropical Dry shampoo - Repurchase - Yes 

This is my favourite Batiste dry shampoo, it smells amazing and leaves my hair looking and smelling a lot better. It's perfect for slightly foody smelling but freshly washed hair. 

Blistex Intensive moisturizer - Repurchase - Yes 

I had to buy another tube of this in Germany as I thought i'd lost it and I couldn't bear to be without it. The actually name of the product is different but it's the same thing. This is one of my favourite lip balms as it really soothes my chapped lips and leave them feeling nice and hydrated. The only problem I have with it is that it leaves a white cast on the lips so it's definitely one for in the house. 

Catrice Re-touch Light reflecting concealer - Repurchase - No (it's not available in the UK) 

I really enjoyed this and the only reason I haven't repurchased it is the fact I can't get it in the UK. It's very similar to the L'oreal lumi magique so I am probably going to repurchase that when I next go shopping. 

Gosh Amazing Length n' build mascara - Repurchase - Possibly 

Not my favourite mascara but it wasn't bad by any means. I found it was really nice for a more natural look and I was really impressed with just how waterproof it is. It does nothing amazing to the look of my lashes but naturally I have quite thick and voluminous lashes so just the colour is perfect for me on a more natural face day. 

Beauty ¦ November and December empties

With doing blogmas I never got chance to do my November empties so I thought I would just roll both November's empties and December's empties into one post. 

Batiste Dry shampoo's in Cherry and Blush - Repurchase - Definitely 

I love batiste dry shampoo and it's the only brand I will use, i've tried other brands and nothing cuts the mustard in comparison. My favourite scent is the tropical on but these are the other two I like. I am going to repurchase when I finish my current bottle but I think I may give the one for brunettes a go as since I dyed my hair dark I've been having trouble with it leaving white residue in my hair. 

Soap and Glory Sugar crush body scrub - Repurchase - I already have 

This is another holy grail item for me. I love this scrub as not only does it smell absolutely amazing but it's quite a harsh scrub which really feels like it's working. For someone with sensitive skin this may be a problem but for me it has the perfect amount of scrub to it. Did I also mention it smells amazing? 

The Body shop Peppermint smoothing pumice foot scrub -Repurchase - Possibly 

This was something I'd have never gone into the body shop and picked up myself but I received it free when I got my Love your body card. It has a really minty scent and is a very coarse scrub which feels amazing on tired and sore feet. It's something that I will probably repurchase closer to the summer when I have to start wearing sandals again! 

Superdrug Coconut and almond intensive conditioner - Repurchase - Maybe 

This stuff is so cheap and it works really nicely. It's very thick in consistency and I like to leave it on my hair wrapped under a towel as a mask. I find it leaves my hair really silky and smooth, it also really helps calm down my naturally knotty hair. I'm in no rush to repurchase this as I've got other hair masks that need finishing first but I may do in the future. 

Max Factor False lash effect - Repurchase - More than likely 

I think this is my favourite drugstore mascara, it's the only thing I've found that even comes close to Benefit they're real. The wand is plastic with very short bristles which is just how I like my mascara wand to be. I also found it's waterproofness (Surely that's not a real word) to be second to none and it kept my very long but very straight lashes nice and curled all day. 

The Body shop Strawberry Shower gel - Repurchase - Not this particular scent 

I got bought this for christmas last year and in all honesty the strawberry scent from the body shop isn't one of my favourites. I really like the shower gel but I won't be buying this scent. 

Tresemme Keratin smooth hair mask - Repurchase - No 

This was something that I really wasn't impressed with. I didn't find that it left my hair any silkier and any less frizzy and I also find it didn't help tame my tangly hair at all. 

Avene Cleanance K Cream gel - Repurchase - No 

I loved this at first and I found it really helped clear my skin but as I used it more I found my skin got used to it and it completely stopped working even after not using it for 2 weeks and going back to it. I want to try the la roche posay effaclar duo but this has made me a little bit cautious about it. 

September Empties.

I've come to the conclusion that empties posts are super satisfying to write as I never really realise how many products I actually finish a month! 

Makeup wise this month I have finished the Maybelline Fit me concealer which is one of my all time favourite drugstore concealers. It's incredibly light weight whilst offering plenty of coverage and lasting all day without any sign of caking. The other makeup product I finished this month was the Benefit They're real mascara this is one of my favourite mascara's and it's actually been sat empty in my stash for a good couple of months I just kept forgetting to throw it in my empties basket. 

For hair I finished the Garnier Ultimate blends sleek restorer conditioner which goes along with the shampoo I finished in my last post. I liked this it was nothing to shout from the roof tops about but I enjoyed using it. 

Finally I finished up a few bits of skin care this month. First off I finished the Skinetica anti blemish solution I've had a couple of bottles of this from various giveaway wins and blog event goodie bags and I just don't like it. I find it does absolutely nothing for my skin and just seems fairly pointless in all honesty. Another toner type product I finished this month was the Avene cleanance lotion - toner I quite liked this one, it made my skin feel really clean and completely clear of any left over dirt, makeup or cleanser. I wouldn't say it helped clear my spots but it didn't break me out either! Finally for this months empties is the No7 Beautiful skin hot cloth cleanser which I really love, it gets off all my makeup including waterproof mascara but doesn't leave the skin feeling dry and stripped. 

The empties #1

I never used to like empties posts but I've come to the conclusion I just don't like empties posts with 30 products in them. 

Garnier Ultimate Blends The sleek restorer shampoo. 

Repurchase - Yes

I really liked this, it didn't weigh my hair down and it makes it feel really clean. It smells really good to which is always a bonus! I found this really helped calm how frizzy my hair is and has just made it look smoother in general! 

The Body shop Vanilla bliss shower gel.

Repurchase - Maybe 

This is one of the body shop christmas scents. I really like it but I actually prefer the cranberry one. I love the body shop shower gels as they lather up really nicely and feel nice and moisturizing on the skin. 

Lush Sweetie pie shower jelly. 

Repurchase - When I next go anywhere with a lush store

I love this stuff it smells amazing and it's just so much fun! I also like the fact it's sparkly. Again like the body shop one it's nice and moisturizing on the skin. 

Seventeen Stay time concealer.

Repurchase - Yes Yes Yes! 

I love this stuff it's my current concealer it covers everything really nicely and looks flawless on the skin. I can use this both under my eyes and on blemishes! 

Extra gentle eye makeup remover. 

Repurchase - No 

I really wasn't a big fan of this I only tend to use a liquid remover like this if I'm wearing a heavy eye so I like to get rid of some of it before cleansing. I just found this didn't really do much it just wiped the makeup around my face. I ended up using it to take swatches of my hands and it wasn't even great at that! 

I'd love to know you opinions on empties posts. 

 Do you love them or do you hate them?
