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.

January Favourites


Now that January is over it's time for all of the first monthly favourites of the year to be posted. For a change, I don't actually think this month has gone too fast to what it usually feels like so let's hope it stays this way! I think out of all of the monthly favourites I've done before, this might be my favourite because I am absolutely loving every single one of these products so much at the moment, even more than usual.





First up, is my first ever Real Techniques brush, this is the 'Expert Face Brush' and believe me it is amazing! Looking back now I can't believe I just use to apply my foundation with my fingers before, I can't even describe how good it is (not very helpful, I know) but it makes my foundation spread much more evenly and looks quite... professional (if I do say so myself) so I highly recommend it and need to stop eyeing up the rest of the Real Technique's brushes that I want to purchase!





A perfume which I put on a wish list way back when I first started my blog was the new Killer Queen perfume by Katy Perry. I already had Meow and for Christmas I was lucky enough to not only get Purr (the first of Katy's perfumes) but also this Killer Queen perfume set which does include the shower gel too but I'm using up some others before I try that out. It has been my 'go to' perfume this month and every time I step out of the shower I just have to use this body lotion, it just smells so good!





As you may have seen in my recent Beauty Haul, I purchased the Revlon Colorstay Foundation. It has a lot more coverage than the foundation which I was previously using so I only tend to use it if I'm going out somewhere and some days at uni (depending if I'm in a hurry to get ready or not). I use it with the real techniques expert face brush which I mentioned earlier and hopefully soon I'll get a review up about this foundation!





These two Ted Baker lip crayons (which you can read more about here) were part of a gift set and I don't think they are sold individually which is quite sad because they are such great colours and formulas. At first I was using the darker plum coloured one and I didn't wear the pink one for a while until I finally tried it out (I didn't think it would suit me at first) but I really like it and now I'm usually wearing one of these during the day and carrying it around in my bag, I just love them!


I hope you enjoyed reading my monthly favourites, what have been your January favourites?

What's in my Make-up Bag

I've seen quite a few 'what's in my make-up bag' posts lately so I thought it was about time I showed you all what's in my make-up bag. I only have a selection of products with me because I'm still on my Christmas break from uni (going back tomorrow), so it's basically my every day make-up with a few different/extra eyeliners and lip products. I also haven't included other bits that were in my make-up bag such as brushes (because I really need some new ones) and hair bands/grips.

This is the perfect gift set and it's now half price in Boots so I'd grab it whilst you can!
