September Favourites

It's that time once again, it's the end of the month which means favourites! Here are the products I've been using & loving throughout September. 

Sally Hansen Sugar Coat Textured Nail Colour (£6.99)

L-to-R: Pink Sparkle (230), Royal Icing (210), Red Velvet (240), Treat-Heart (220).

My lovely hubbie bought these for me (isn't he good?) a little while ago but I've been wearing them nonstop this month. They've got a rough texture to them, exactly like sugar (funny that). They're almost matte with a subtle shimmer/glitter but the best thing is that they are so long wearing. My daughter calls the blue one 'Frozen nail varnish', it has that ice/frost look to it which I love. 

Yankee Candle in 'Vanilla Chai' (£7.99 for a small jar)

I'm obsessed with Yankee & this candle smells good enough to eat, the perfect Autumn smell. Seriously can't get enough of it. 

Dove Advanced Hair Series Pure Care Dry Oil Shampoo & Conditioner for 'Dull/Dry Hair' (£5.99 each)

These contain 'precious oil' but aren't greasy whatsoever. (Precious oil sounds a bit Lord of the Rings doesn't it?). They leave my hair so smooth & soft, plus they smell lovely too. Really great products for the price. 

Bomb Cosmetics Cleansing Shower Butter in 'Mint Choc Chip' (£7.99)

Another product that smells good enough to eat! At first I though this was just a novelty product looking at the colour but I really love it. You scoop a bit out and it melts under hot running water. It smells insanely good, has a really soft lather which is so creamy and moisturising. It contains essential oils & shea butter and makes showering a pleasure! 

Joe & Seph's Gourmet Popcorn (£19.99 for 6 bags with delivery)

L-to-R: Caramel with Espresso, Gin & Tonic, Apple & Cinnamon, Belgian Chocolate with Mint, Mince Pie, Brandy Butter. 

I first discovered this incredible popcorn whilst away on holiday this month. I scoffed a bag of Mijito flavour in record time. As soon as we got back I couldn't wait to get my hands on more. They make the most amazing and unique flavours that taste soooo good & are ridiculously moorish. I'm going to attempt to keep some of these for Christmas (who am I kidding?!). 

So there are my September loves, what products have your been reaching for nonstop this past month? 

I'm off to NOT eat my popcorn,

Empties - Products I've Used Up

I've always found the concept of Empties' posts a little strange - literally looking at someone's rubbish. Having said that I *really* love watching them on YouTube and reading them on blogs. The fact that someone has used a product in it's entirety means that they either totally love it or have used it enough to give some real decent feedback.

So i'm jumping on the bandwagon - here are some of the products I've used up recently.

Skincare:

L to R: 
Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water - £4.99 
This is my second empty of this and I have already started my third. Love it. I use it to remove all my makeup before cleansing with a facial wash. Does a great job, great price, all round great product.
Simple Kind To Skin Soothing Facial Toner - £2.99
Pretty good for the price but can't say I noticed a big difference using it. Probably wouldn't repurchase.
Simple Kind To Eyes Eye Makeup Remover - £3.25
I've probably gone though 6 of these in the past few years. Gets off your eye makeup gently, doesn't sting or irritate. Okay, it doesn't budge waterproof mascara but apart from that all round great buy.
First Aid Beauty Face Cleanser - £14
Seriously love this stuff. Cleans my face so well, a really soft and soothing product. Gets rid of all the remaining makeup and oil without drying out my skin. Have already repurchased another.

Haircare:

L to R:
Wen Cleansing Conditioner in Pomegranate - £27
Read my review of the Cleansing Conditioner here. Really enjoyed using it, made my hair really soft but I haven't repurchased it. Not life changing for the price.
Dove Refresh+Care Dry Shampoo - £4.59 
Love this dry shampoo as it's clear - it doesn't leave that white chalky dust you get with some others. Smells lovely and works really well. Have already repurchased.

Bodycare:

L to R:

L'Occitane Delicious Almond Shower Gel - £20
Gorgeous product, smells divine, lathers beautifully. Decent size. Will repurchase if I'm feeling a little spendy.
L'Occitane Shea Butter Ultra Rich Body Lotion - £20
One of my faveourite body products. So moisturising. Seriously can't get enough. Smells almost like a baby product. Rich without being greasy - sinks in super quick. Will absolutely repurchase.

Cosmetics:

L to R:
bareMinerals Ready Luminizer in 'The Love Affair' - £26
I bought this in America quite a while ago and am really sad to see it go. A really gorgeous highlighter in a honey pink tone. So wearable. Will try and track down another as it does not seem to be available online right now in this shade.
Mac Eyebrow Pencil in 'Fling' - £13.50
Pretty straightforward product. Self sharpening, nice fine nib. Haven't repurchased as Soap & Glory have just released a dupe which is practically the exact same but cheaper. (Check out my review here)
bareMinerals Stroke of Light Eye Brightener in 'Luminous 1'  - £22
Lovely product - covers dark circles but doesn't settle in my fine lines. Really is luminous. I also used this for highlighting too. Probably will buy again, just on the look at for something new to try first maybe.

So there you go, all my recent rubbish. I hope you've found this helpful. What's been the one product you repurchase time and time again?

I'm off to my recycling bin. Happy product-using!
