Empties of 2019 part 7

Slowly I am getting through my stash of products and using things I have received either in GlossyBoxes or samples somewhere!

Garnier Ultimate Blends coconut hair oil £9.99
My hair felt absolutely amazing using this. It's also a lightweight formula so your hair doesn't feel weighed down or look greasy

Would I buy full size?
Yes, of course

Empties of 2019 part 6

Here is another one of the empties posts, as you may already know these are products I've recently finished and here are my thoughts....

Naobay Protective hair mask volume and conditioner
I received this in a GlossyBox and as it says it's a volume hair mask and conditioner. I had quite a few uses out of it and my hair did feel lovely after using it.

Would I buy again?
No and mainly because I have no idea where to purchase it and I feel there is other volume conditioning masks you can get more locally.

Colgate max white toothpaste
Recently I've been getting into the whole charcoal/whitening toothpastes and I feel this is definitely a good like budget one. It doesn't have a funny taste as I have noticed some charcoal ones have and I did notice my teeth looked a bit more white.

Would I buy again?
Yes, a lot of places have this for £4 but have a look around you can pick it up cheaper.

A new month and a new set and of empty products to review, these are not the usual kind of products I tend to use, minus the dry shampoo but it's always good to try something new!

Batiste dry shampoo in tropical
You all know I love a dry shampoo, they come in so handy if I haven't had a chance to wash my hair or I just want to add a little texture. This one smells so gorgeous just like summer!

Will I buy again?
Of course!

Empties of 2019 part 4

I made a pact to myself this year that I would try different brands and products seeing as I have a small collection of things I'm finishing a lot of different kinds of products lately which is definitely a good thing! So here is the latest lot of products I've finished..... 

Palmers cocoa butter solid formula
Who doesn't love the smell of Palmers cocoa butter?! I love this and it certainly keeps you moisturized just it can leave your hands feeling very greasy after

Will I buy again?
Yes, this is great if you have dry skin
 

Schwarzkopf rise and shine volume and hair spray
I got this when I was away one weekend as I forgot mine and I thought I would try this one as I wanted some volume too. I think what sold it was the volume side but unfortunately I was a bit disappointed there was not really any volume I had to spray a lot to get anything.

Will I buy again?
No, I know there is other products that do add volume

Empties 2019 part 1

I feel like in this post there is a lot of products I've actually loved and was sad to see that I had finished them but what a great way to start the new year on a positive note.

Jahaitian black castor oil leave in conditioner £5.99
Sometimes when I use a lot of heat on my hair it can sometimes feel dry so I try and put some kind of leave in conditioner. When I use this it makes my hair feel so soft and I always concentrate on my ends as they are the most damaged especially where I colour my hair too.

Would I buy again?
Yes, a little goes a long way

Preparing for Winter

How much has the weather change in like the last couple weeks?! The mornings and evenings are certainly getting colder and of course the clocks changed over the weekend. Right now I'm all for staying home and binge watching a TV series on Netflix and a hot drink.

So what am I doing to prepare myself for the new season?

Empties of 2018 Part 4

It's been a month or so since my last empties post, I have quite a lot of products which I have finished lately, my "little" stash of empty products is getting bigger slowly! I will say I really enjoyed using a majority of these and will definitely look at using in the future but some didn't quite make the cut.

Naobay Moisturising Peeling
When I first see this I was a little unsure because it said peeling I thought my face was going to be bright red after I used it but I would call this a light face scrub. The little bits in it are not harsh at all so it feels like a gentle exfoliation I suppose my face felt so good after and got rid of the dead skin. Only thing is it's quite runny and every time I opened it I never expected it to come out like it did!
Would I buy again?
Yes, I struggled to find this in any where and the only place which I can find that stocks it is Amazon and I'm waiting for the day it says out of stock and can never purchase it again!

Home made body scrub

For Christmas I decided to actually make a present instead of buying one, I thought it would be more of a personal present. I wanted something Christmassy so I chose cinnamon as a base and then looked all over the Internet to see what recipes I could find and what would go best.I kept it quite basic as this was my first ever attempt of even making anything like this before. To go with the cinnamon I picked Madagasca Vanilla essence. Here is a list of what I used and how I made it :)
