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.
