Product Empties #3

It's been a long long time since I last did a Product Empties post, I'm so rubbish at remembering to keep empties to photograph there should be a lot more, but I've still managed to keep quite a few for this post to share with you. I've also been trying out different products since my last post of this kind so hopefully you'll get to see some new products.

Baylis & Harding Hot Chocolate Shower Gel (set) - This shower gel was part of a gift set I was given at Christmas and I loved using it. I find that some things that claim to be chocolate scented don't actually smell like chocolate whereas this shower gel does. And I'm now using the gingerbread one that also came with this set!

Possibilities Strawberry Souffle Shower Gel - This shower gel lasted me such a long time it's a really big bottle and I like how it even gave you a recipe on the bottle which is a little bit odd for a shower gel but if you wanted to re-create the scent into something edible you can with these.

Batiste Dry Shampoo in Cherry - Getting up at 6am and not having time to wash your hair in the morning and having to do it the night before is when dry shampoo comes in handy, with Batiste there are so many scents to choose from and this Cherry flavour is one of my favourites.

Bourjois 123 perfect foundation - This foundation was recommended to me by a couple of my friends that have used it but I have to say I really didn't get on with it at all, I think I had the lightest shade but that still wasn't light enough for me.

Revlon Colourstay Foundation - Now this foundation is actually my favourite foundation, I have the one for combination/oily skin as they also do one for dry skin and I love it. I'm even onto a new bottle of it now, it applied great (best with a beauty blender) and I find the shade matches my skin perfectly.

Maybelline Collosal Mascara - One of my favourite mascaras, I like to always try and use different mascaras because there's so many out there but I found myself going back to this one because I just liked it that much.

Ted Baker Liquid Eyeliner (set) - Finding the best liquid eyeliner can be tricky and especially within a gift set you don't know what you're going to get but with this one it was a winner. Super thin pen and easy to apply, so sad it ran out as I think they only sell it as part of this gift set.

Garnier Micellar Water - When the Garnier/L'Oreal micellar waters first came out I tried the L'Oreal  one and absolutely loved it, but then when I'd read some of the comparison reviews between the two most people seemed to prefer Garnier's especially due to the size and bottle, and after trying Garnier's too I have to say I do also slightly prefer this one too.

Neutrogena Visibly Clear Pink Grapefruit Daily Scrub - This was the first one of this product I'd ever tried and I have to say I really loved it. I'm currently using a different facial scrub at the moment but when I run out I think I might have to go back to this one.

Product Empties #2

This is my second product empties post and there are quite a few more products than the first post that I've managed to accumulate (despite forgetting to save some of the bottle now and again, oops) and I've also given you a quick review on how I found each of the products, so, enjoy...

Hair: Herbal Essences Ignite my Colour Shampoo - I went through a phase of trying different shampoos to see which one worked the best for me, although I did like this one I'm now back to and sticking to vo5.

Avon's Superfruit Souffle - This smells so nice and I don't think Avon stock it anymore but I have to say it was one of my favourite conditioner's ever!

Rainforest Moisture Hair Butter - I had a bit of a love/hate relationship with this product. Before I purchased it I'd read mixed reviews, some saying that it made their hair knotty which I didn't think was possible until the first (and second) time of using it it did the same to me! I then gave it another try and since then it was fine and it smells good too.

Aussie 3 Minute Miracle - I love this product. I remember when it first came out a few months back and after seeing some before and after photos I knew I really needed this, I can't believe how well it works and I can't wait to use it again once I re-purchase it!

Face: Botanics All Bright Purifying Face Scrub - This is a product that although I liked at first I thought it was a bit too harsh as a face scrub compared to some others that I've been so I don't think I'd buy this again.

Origins Clear Improvement Face Mask - Although this is only a sample it lasted me quite a while and now that I've had a chance to try it I know how much I like it (just as I thought I would) and now I can allow myself to at some point pay for the full-size version.

Body: Avon Senses Winter Delight Shower Gel, Wilko Sweet Shower Smoothie and Grace Cole Eastern Spa Body Wash. As they're all shower gels/body washes there isn't too much I can say about these three except that they all smell so good although they're all different. The winter delight smells particularly amazing and it gets me in the mood for Christmas!

Other: Charlie Pink Body Spray - One of my favourite body sprays for almost ten years now, just smells amazing, I'm not surprised it's still being made!

Rimmel London Lash Accelerator Endless Mascara - If you want long lashes rather than volume this is a great mascara and Rimmel is a great brand to go to for mascara's too.

Have you tried or want to try any of these products?

Product Empties

This is the first time I've done a 'Product Empties' post, usually I either switch between so many products that I don't often empty many (hence my current ten body butters/lotions) or just throw the odd few that I do get away. So, for the past month or so I've managed to use up a few products and saved them until I had enough to show you.

Rimmel Match Perfection concealer - This is one of my favourite concealers, although I don't use this for blemishes as it also works as a highlighter and those aren't the areas you want to draw attention to. It is however really good under the eyes for example.

Rimmel 'Scandaleyes' mascara - This is one of the older products from my empties and I have used a couple of others since I last used this one. I wouldn't say it was my favourite mascara but I think it could be compared to the Maybelline Colossal Mascara (which I reviewed here).

I really like both of these foundations although they are quite different. The Wake Me Up Foundation looks a lot better worn in the summer because the shades are slightly darker for when you've been out in the sun, and it also has a shimmer to it which I actually like! The Match Perfect Foundation is however more of an all round good foundation, one which would probably work well for you if you are just starting to get into make-up and are looking for a good foundation too.

The Soap and Glory Sugar Crush body scrub is my absolute all time favourite body scrub! The smell is amazing and it does a really good job at leaving your skin feeling smooth.Instead of repurchasing this one however I have decided to try something a little different which if you check back here regularly, there should be a review up on my new Gadi body scrub.

These two products I have already re-purchased - I love them that much! The L'Oreal Micellar Solution I use to take off my make-up which you can find my review on here. This Vo5 shampoo is quite possibly my favourite shampoo, just lately I've been trying out a few different shampoos to see which works best for me (I'm currently using a herbal essences one) and I've decided to re-purchase this one, being my current favourite!

Let me know if you enjoy reading product empties posts because I've never posted one before.
