Empties - Products I've Used Up #3

It's that time again where you get to rifle through my rubbish, aren't you lucky? Seriously though, I really enjoy reading Empties posts - when someone has used up a product in its entirety it mostly means you get to read an honest review & most importantly if they would repurchase that item. 

So without further ado here are the hair, skin & body care products I've used up recently. (There's a whole cosmetics empties post coming up shortly). 

Wen by Chaz Dean Cleansing Conditioners in 'Pomegranate' & 'Sweet Almond Mint' - £27 each

I wrote about these guys in their very own post (read it here). A new concept on hair washing, a conditioner that cleans whilst it moisturises. Lovely products which I really enjoyed using.... but for some reason I stopped using them about 3/4 of the way through and it's taken me ages to pick them back up and finish them off. Quite pricey but they do a good job. I might buy them again but I'm not rushing out to get some immediately.

No7 Cleansing Body Polish - £9.50

This body scrub is one of the more gentle finer scrubs I've used. Yes, it says it's gentle enough for everyday use but for me it was just too gentle. I don't use a body scrub everyday so when I do I like them to be seriously scrubby. Smelt lovely but won't be buying it again. Perfect if you're after a super fine scrub. 

Sanctuary Spa Body Wash - £5.50

Classic product. Love the scent. Long lasting, rich foam, will defo buy it again. 

Bio-Oil - £19.99

Left over from my pregnancy days, this is a really great body oil which I used all over my huge preggo belly. Ive only just got around to finishing this up. Nice and light weight, super hydrating, a mum-to-be must have. 

Lush 'Snow Fairy' Shower Gel 

A limited edition christmas product (I can't actually remember the price). This smells so good. So so good. Classic lush product which fills your entire bathroom with its scent whenever you use it. Love Lush shower gels! 

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water - £3.33

Another all time fave product. Totally fantastic considering the low price point. I use this to remove all my eye and face makeup before going to go wash my face. Does a great job and lasts for ages. Has been in an empties post before and will be in future posts without a doubt. 

First Aid Beauty Face Cleanser - £14

Love this stuff. It's been in my Empties post before. A super creamy and gentle face wash which leaves my skin soft, clean and not at all tight. Will absolutely buy again. 

Environ AVST 2 Moisturiser 

I got this face cream from my local beauty salon. As it's super high in vitamin  As it's a product you have to build up to use and not one you can pick up anywhere. Annoyingly I can't remember how much it cost and as you can't buy it online I can't google it either, I think it was around £50. A lovely cream which left my skin feeling fabulous. I will repurchase but I have a few other products I'd like to try out first. 

The Body Shop Vitamin C Skin Reviver - £15

This a light gel type formula packed with vitamin C and Brazil nut oil. I'm not sure if I really liked it or was completely not fussed by it. You use it after your moisturiser for a smooth & healthy glow. I can't say I noticed any difference but it did feel really nice on my skin. Probably wouldn't repurchase at the moment. 

So there you have my first Empties post for 2015. Watch this space for my cosmetics Empties!! You can read my last Empties post here. 

I'm off to the recycling bin!

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!
