Yes, that's right - I'm on the Empties bandwagon!!
Myself and my husband are on 'Mission Use Up' at the moment as we have so many products lurking around our bathroom that we seem to have had for ages and are now using up before we buy anymore (we'll see how long the no-buying lasts!!!); so we have used up quite a lot this month. There's loads to get through so I'll just jump straight in...
Lush Ultrabland Cleanser
The packaging looks gross so I apologise for that!
I am so upset that this product has run out. I LOVED this, it was so luxurious and smelled gorgeous and also was amazing. Basically, it's a bit like applying vaseline to your face, it's think and kind of greasy (I'm not making it sound good am I??), you apply a small amount all over your face and then rub your hands all over your face including your eyes (you can open them and it doesn't sting!), then you use a face cloth that has been run under hot water to remove it all and I swear, every single trace of make up will be removed from your face - it is so so so good! Also, I have quite a dry t-zone and after using this cleanser, my skin was hydrated and just looked amazing. I would highly recommend this cleanser, it's brilliant!
Moving on...
Pampers Baby Wipes
Simple Eye Make-Up Remover and Johnsons Clean and Clear Cleanser
I've lumped this in together as I've spoken about them in quite a lot of depth in my last Skin Care Routine post so won't go into too much detail here. I really like both the products but haven't repurchased as I am trying out the No7 Cleansing Water at the moment just for a change. I would recommend both these products though as they definitely do the job. I seem to go through eye make-up remover so fast though (especially since I have run out of my Ultrabland!).
Pretty standard staple item in every girl's routine. For removing make-up when I'm feeling lazy. Does the job, that's all I can say really!!
Bourjois Delice de Soleil Bronzing Spray
Hmmmm... I'm on the fence about this. As you know if you read my blog, I am not a fan of the chocolate box bronzing powder and this (obviously as it's from the same range) is in the same league. It doesn't really do enough for me to say that I love it although it does give a little bit of shimmer to the skin and it smells of chocolate. Not something I'll be re-purchasing though unfortunately.
Superdrug Spa Purifying Bath Gelee
Now, this is something that my mother-in-law picked up for me on one of her shopping trips and I stuck it in my bathroom drawer and didn't think any more of it. Then as I was clearing products out, I came across it again and thought I'd give it a go and in all honesty, I'm glad I did. It's lovely and moistursing and smells like a spa product (and creates a lot of bubbles as well which is always a winner). I'm actually quite intrigues by the Superdrug range of products as I have heard nothing but good things and whilst I probably won't repurchase this (just because I have a lot of other things to use up!), I think I will try out some of their other products. Definitely worth a gander if you're in Superdrug. Their Vitamin E range is lovely as well, I have a few of the products from that range.
NYC Liquid Eyeliner
This was one of the first liquid liners I had ever tried (not this actual one, but the brand) and I really really like it. It has a brush applicator which I'm not particulary a fan of but it does go on very smooth and lasts all day as well. I would recommend this eyeliner to someone maybe just starting out and doesn't want to spend a fortune. I have repurchased this and will carry on using it.
Boots Natural Collection Wild Strawberry Body Scrub
I'm a big fan of the Boots Natural Collection, I love the fruity scents and the range of products that are available as well as because they are very good value (and quite often on 3for2 offers - bonus!!). It's quite a gentle scrub which I like and smells absolutely gorgeous, obviously of strawberries! I'll be repurchasing this as soon as I've used up the other million scrubs that I've got!!
Vaseline 24h Protection Deoderant
I really like the Vaseline deoderants (although I've only used the roll-on versions), this smells lovely and lasts all day. If you lift your arms during the day you do tend to get a waft of it which I don't mind as at least you know it's working! Doesn't leave white marks on your clothes either. I'm using a Vaseline roll-on at the moment but definitely going back to this one once I've used it up!
Freederm Oil-Free Perfecting Moisturiser
This was ok, not great. It didn't really do much for my skin and I hate the packaging. I really dislike that you can't see how much you've got left, I don't know why but it really grates on me for some reason! I won't be repurchasing this, it just didn't rock my world and I was glad when I used the last of it!
Boots Natural Collection Mango & Papaya Hi-Shine Conditioner
I really like this conditioner and have actually used it for years now. It costs next to nothing (think it was 89p or something) and is really great if your hair needs a boost. My hair feels silky soft when I've used this, it's lovely. I have another one to use and a face mask as well so I'm looking forward to that.
Morrisons Lemon & Lime Shower Cream
This is something I picked up as something cheap that I could shove in my gym bag and not worry about and it turns out that I love this shower gel! It smells amazing and actually left my skin feeling really soft! I think it cost 99p and is obviously from Morrisons supermarket. They do different versions, think there's a stawberry/raspberry one and a tea tree one. Definitely worth giving a try and I'm on my third bottle of this now and will carry on using it.
Boots Coconut & Almond Shampoo and Conditioner
Again, these were bought as cheapies to shove in my gym bag and I think they're ok. I like the coconut smell although it doesn't tend to linger on my hair which is disappointing. The conditioner isn't great but at 99p each, I think you get what you pay for. Not sure I'll but them again, but I don't hate them. I actually have the leave in conditioner from this range as well and quite like it.
Herbal Essences Hello Hydration Shampoo and Conditioner
I know I've just mentioned a shampoo and conditioner but these were the ones I used in my bathroom and I love them. My hair feels amazing after using these, so silky and soft and healthy. I highly recommend the Herbal Essences range as a whole as they're really good. I'll definitely be repurchasing these again in the future.
Bobbi Brown Concealer
This is without doubt the best concealer for under eye circles that I have ever used. I have mentioned before that I really suffer with eye bags and I struggle to find a product that is effective at hiding them. I'm pleased to say that this product does the job perfectly and I will definitely be buying this again. Incidentily, for anyone that suffers from eye bags as I do - I am using the Mac Moisture Cover Concealer at the moment which is also really good!
Anyway, that's it for my June empties. It's the first time I've done one of these and I really enjoyed looking back over the products I've been using. It's nice to keep a log of the products that I don't like as well so I don't make the mistake of purchasing them again - ha ha!!
What do you think of this type of post?
Lotsa love
