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.

Beauty favs of July/August

The past couple months I have really been getting into the habit of trying new products or a different way of doing my regime a little and I've discovered a few new products that I wanted to share with you guys. I'll be honest these are not all brand new on the shelves but they are new to me and I think it's sometimes good to try things that have been out for a little bit. I find if you keep using the same things over and over again your skin gets immune to it and it don't seem to work as good as it used to so to switch it up every now and again is good.

PS clear and cool refining toner £2
For £2 I had to give this a try! With it's tea tree and witch hazel it's designed to purify skin and refines pour. I use it every night before I bed and I don't find my pours are as big and it just makes my skin feel more cleaner but not too clean where I feel stripped of my natural oils.

Empties of 2019 part 5

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!

How to boost tired and dull skin

Do you ever get that feeling when you look in the mirror sometimes and your skin just looks dull and tired and you just feel urgh? Well lately that's exactly how I've been, the past couple months have been a lot crazy for me some of you know but all will be revealed shortly in a post and on my YouTube channel.

I thought I would share with you all what I have been doing to give my face/skin a little boost and some me time, just to let you know if you don't know already I have combination skin so some of these products may not be best suited but I will try and link the equivalent. You may think this is quite simple but finding the products that suit your skin can be quite difficult to begin with. This is what I tend to do once a week or some products once every few weeks.

Empties of 2019 Part 2

It's that time again to see what I've recently finished and my thoughts. In this month there has been some great products used and definitely thinking of purchasing in the future again.

Dove deodorant in floral touch
I absolutely love dove deodorant, it's one of them ones that you smell like hours after you've sprayed it. Usually I just get the original but I thought I would give this one a try and it's a light floral scent it's not like over powering make you want to sneeze kind of scent and won't clash with any perfumes.

Would I buy again?
Yes :)

The Body Shop hand and nail cream in almond
Honestly these hand creams last so long and it's surprising that a little bit goes a long way. This is such a moisturising cream but doesn't make your hands feel greasy or dry after 10 minutes and it doubles up as a nail cream too I noticed when I used this often my nails would look and feel better.

Would I buy again?
Yes, recently bought mini one hoping it will help get my nails back looking better again!

Beauty buys of December

 I haven't done one of these written posts for a little while as I wasn't really buy too many products to warrant a post dedicated to what I had bought previously but when I sat there and put everything together I was a like oh there is a few bits here oops lol and nearly half are from Primark I just got a bit carried away. Primark are really impressing me at the moment a majority of the items were purchased when I was in London just before Christmas.

 

Marc Jacobs Daisy Love from £42
I will be doing a dedicated post (next week) to this so I won't go into too much detail but I absolutely love this such a beautiful scent.

Garnier botanical gel wash £3.49
This is my go to morning face wash, it just gently cleans your face. It's super handy that it's in a pump bottle even though it's a pump you are still able to get all the product out and it lasts super long!

Fav items of 2018

If you haven't already seen my most recent YouTube video, have a look and see my thoughts on my fav products I used throughout 2018.

All the links for the products are below:

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

Empties of 2018 Part 6

It feels like I haven't done one of these for a little while but it was only last month maybe earlier in the month? Anyway here is some of the products I've finished lately, I am excited to do my next one as there is some products I just love that are included.

Hawaiian Tropic Island Berry lipgloss

This has summer written all over it, it's so amazing and smells lovely. It is very moisturising as I find I use this more in the summer as it's got a little gloss and keeps my lips soft. Sometimes I even apply a little of it over a lipstick just for a bit of shine to it.


Would I buy again?

Yes, I bought a two pack from Amazon!

Empties of 2018 part 3

I think it's time for a little empties post as it's been a few months since my last one. I put all finished products unless they are repeat staple purchases in a bag and it wasn't until I looked the other day and realised it is building up so I picked some at random but I do try to get a mixture of things.

See what my thoughts were on these products

How I keep my skin spot free

We have all suffered with breakouts at some point in our lives and if you haven't well you're just blessed. As a teenager I was lucky enough not to really have any I had the odd one but it wasn't till I got a bit older, in my early 20's, where they wanted to make an appearance and trust me it wasn't pretty. It knocked my confidence and I wasn't one to wear make up everyday just because (who's getting up earlier to put make up on?!) but there was times I had to, to cover the redness. I'd be lying if I said it never brought me down and times I didn't want to go out because I couldn't get my make up right to cover it. Also I did pick at them which is the worst thing to do as I'm now left with some scars and uneven skin tone.

Recently I've now been able to control my breakouts better, maybe it's because I'm getting older? I'm not sure but what ever I'm doing I will continue to do and I'm going to share with you what products I use. Also my skin type is combination, typical oily t-zone but occasionally suffer with dry patches around my mouth and chin (is very annoying)

Empties of 2018 part 2

Is it just me but don't you find it satisfying when you actually finish a product? I have so many products I try but not all I finish, this year it is my aim to try and use all products unless it doesn't agree with me and I genuinely have no further use for it. Also a couple staple items were finished this month, I think you might be able to guess which ones they were!

See what products I've finished and what my thoughts are on them and would I repurchase?

Mini Body Shop haul

So over the weekend I popped into my local Body Shop, in all honesty the only reason I went in is because I received an email saying they have 40% off their 100ml hand creams and I am running low on the one I keep at work.

 

Whilst I was in store I noticed it was double points weekend for anyone who has a Body Shop card and thought I would look around and see what else they have in at the moment.

 

 

A lot money could have been spent but I was good and only picked up two new products to try. Also when you make any purchase on your receipt there is often £10 off any purchases made between certain days although they never for a long period but I suppose you could buy one small thing and then with the voucher you could save some money?

 

My recent beauty buys

It's been a while since I done one of these kind of posts, unfortunately I just haven't been buying loads of beauty products to do a haul like post. Over the last month or so I've bought a few things, some which were repurchases and some new. I kind of forgot how much I love shopping for anything beauty related but not how much money I would spend!

See what new products I've bough and what products I've repurchased....

Last minute secret santa gift ideas under £10

Have you agreed and decided to take part in a secret Santa at your work place and your not too sure what to get the person? This can be real fun like who doesn't love a little gift just before Christmas but on the other hand it can be difficult especially if you don't really know the person that well. I've created a little list of some ideas and as the title gives away, under £10!

This list has both his and her ideas, you may even like something for yourself or to put in as a stocking filler for someone else.

Beauty favourites of 2016

Happy New Year everyone!! I hope you all had a lovely time. I haven't made any new yeas resolutions but 2017 will be a year I want to be happy and I wish for all my friends and family the same.

On the last day of 2016 I posted a video to my YouTube channel. It took a lot of courage to take the video and post it as I am very shy and I hate hearing the sound of my own voice (when editing). I hope in the future I will make more of these, make sure you check it out and give it a thumbs up and also subscribe.

Body Shop Himalayan Charcoal Mask review

A few months ago GlossyBox sent a sample of the Himalayan Charcoal Purifying Glow Mask, I honestly didn't think what they had sent would be enough but it was. This clay mask is designed to draw out the impurities, revive and refined your skin. Of course being that it is from Body Shop it is 100% vegan and free from parables, paraffin, silicone and mineral oil. It's packed with natural ingredients including green tea leaves (everything about green tea is just good) and tea tree oil which we all know helps with spots.

Empties of Summer 16

I've been thinking for a while now to post and share what products I've used up recently instead of just showing you the new things I buy. I see a few people do it and it is interesting, I often find I try new products and I either don't finish them and just leave them or they don't do what I want them to. When I decided I would do this post I had no empties so it was a little bit of a waiting game, I started to feel like the little kid of the Fairy washing up liquid adverts who wants the empty bottle lol.
