Hello!
I apologise
for the lack of posts recently. I have just finished my exams and gone straight
on holiday for two weeks where I had no internet to post.
I have been
obsessed with watching ‘Empties’ videos on youtube lately so I have been
collecting the products I have used up over the past few month and thought I would share
them. I have spilt the products up into categories, mainly to make things
easier for me; Skincare, Haircare, Makeup and Other products.
Clearasil Ultra Rapid Action Pads-
I have been
using these for a couple of months now, on and off, and have just finished my
first tub of them. At first I couldn’t see a big difference in my skin and it
wasn’t until I decided they didn’t work and stopped using them that I realised
they do. Almost as soon as I stopped using them, my skin got really bad and
only got better when I started using them again. I have repurchased these
already. A full review will be coming soon.
My Skin Skin Bright Exfoliating Face
Scrub-
I bought
this product a while ago because I was attracted by the fact that it is
‘especially for teenage skin’. As teenage skin is most commonly prone to
breakouts, I had imagined this would be a good product. I didn’t expect it to
completely fix my skin but I did hope that it would keep it under control.
Unfortunately, this product did very little at all for my skin and I was very
disappointed. I will not be repurchasing this.
Nivea Visage Daily Essentials Facial
Cleansing Wipes-
I always
remove my makeup with wipes before cleansing and I tend to just pick up
whatever wipes are on offer. I don’t have a problem with face wipes as long as
they are wet and both sides can be used. Unfortunately, these wipes lacked both
of these things. I found the wipes to be very dry, more so on one side than the
other, and even when I reached the wipes nearer the bottom of the pack which
usually absorb all the moisture. The wipes had one side which was the usual
flat wipe and the other had little bumps. The bumpy side was usable enough so I
could put up with the bumps but the flat side was practically completely dry
and could not be used at all. I will not be repurchasing this product.
Lee Stafford Dry Shampoo-
I received
this product as a gift a while back and decided to give it a go recently to see
how it compared to the Batiste dry shampoo. The product itself is decent
enough. The dry shampoo works well and lasts all day. It is a very white powder
and is a lot more noticeable and ‘dandruff looking’ than its Batiste
equivalent. The scent, which for many is the main selling point of the Batiste
dry shampoo, is very boring and just what you would expect from a hair product
of this kind. I would not repurchase this over the Batiste dry shampoo.
Batiste Dry Shampoo in Diva-
I love my
Batiste dry shampoo and I purchase a different one of the scents each time I
buy it. This time round I bought the scent ‘Diva’. I won’t give too much away
about my thoughts on this product as I have a review coming up but I do really
like this scent and will continue to repurchase this product again and again.
Aussie Luscious Long Conditioner-
Over the
past 6 months or so I have completely fallen in love with Aussie hair products.
This conditioner was one of the first products I bought around 6 months ago and
it has only just run out. I really like this conditioner for a few reasons. The
smell is completely amazing! Every time I use it my hair smells amazing for
hours afterwards. It also leaves my hair feeling so soft and sleek and almost
as if it’s brand new. I haven’t repurchased this particular conditioner as it
was limited edition but I have purchased a different Aussie conditioner.
Natural Collection Loose Powder in
Neutral Translucent-
This is my
all time favourite makeup product. I don’t feel like I need to say anymore but
I do have a review on this product if you would like to know why I love it so
much. You can find the review here. I have repurchased this several time and
will continue to do so.
17 Ultimate Volume Mascara in Black-
This mascara
was a favourite of mine a while ago and, although it was probably too old to be
using, I picked it up again recently and decided to use what was left of it.
This is a good mascara which does, as it suggests, give a good amount of volume
to your lashes. I would have repurchased this product if I hadn’t found the one
I am currently using.
Sure Clear Pure Crystal Deodorant-
I don’t
really know what to say about deodorant. This is my favourite deodorant as it works really well, doesn't leave nasty white marks on your clothes and smells great. I have repurchased this.
Renu Multi-Purpose Contact Lens
Solution-
I wear
contact lenses almost every day and this is the solution I buy and use to clean
and store them. I like this solution as it doesn’t irritate my eyes, unlike
some other brands, and lasts quite long. I have repurchased this many time and
now have far too many.
That is all
the products I have used up this month. Let me know if you would like a review
on any of these products and I will do that soon. Also let me know what you
think of this type of post and if you would like to see this as a monthly
feature.
