Products I've used up #5


Here is my 5th installment of my empties.


- Schwartzkopf Gliss hair repair conditioner, I love this conditioner and I've done a hair care routine post where these are featured in, here.

- Dove go fresh compressed deodorant, I have to say there is nothing different between this size deodorant and the larger size, but I find this size great for my bag as it takes up less room.

- Nivea Creme care shower cream, I loved this and I've done a review on it, here.


- This SPA body wash was given to me in a bath set for Christmas from Wilkinson, It smelt nice and kept me clean.

- TRESemme heat defense styling spray, I've been using this a while and I featured it in my hair care routine, here.

- Pure deep cleanse face wipes, I really love these wipes and I'm always using them to wipe off my makeup at night, 2 packs for a £1 from Pound land.


- The Body Shop body butter in Mango. I really love these body butters and they really help moisturise my skin.

- Escape body butter, this was also from Wilkinson's a while ago and I added some body oil into it to help with my scars.

- Model Co Fibre Lashxtend mascara, I really love this mascara and have since bought a new one, I have also written a review on this here.

Products I've Used Up #4


Hey guys so todays post is another installment of products I've used up. I've decided to try it out a different way this time and instead of going through each product, I'm going to do an overall review of them all and then pick at each product through that. Let me know in the comments what you think of it this way, if you prefer it or not.

So this time I've actually really liked all of the products that I've used up and I would purchase them all again in the future. With this shaving gel I just picked up whichever one was on promotion/cheapest at that time as it doesn't really bother me which one I use, but this was did well for my skin and helped keep my legs moisturised while I was shaving away. Next is the John Frieda Frizz-Ease shampoo and conditioner, I was given these to review (here) and I really loved them, they really helped out with my hair and I was able to wear it naturally when I'd used these. The two shower gels are from the body shop the top one is Atlas Mountain Rose and the second is Honeymania. I really loved both scents and they stayed on the skin. I also used up the Moringa body butter also from the body shop and my skin really loved this and I've had no dry skin problems since using this. Last up is the Sure roll on deodorant, I bought this to use at night time and it does the job, smells nice too.

Products I've used up #3


I bought this candle from Primark last christmas time and at the time I had a few candles that I wanted to burn before this. When I eventually got around to burning this it was summer time. It's one of my favorite vanilla smells ever. If I remember correctly it was around £4 at the time. If I went to primark again and this candle and more where there I would buy some more. 


The bottle on the left is in the scent Moringa and the one on the right is Passion fruit. These have to be my two favorite scents from the Body shop currently. I hadn't heard of  or seen the Passion fruit range until I went into my local store and seen it in a sale, and I have to say I haven't seen or heard of it since. I don't know if it's a seasonal smell or a range that has stopped, but they both smell really nice and I want more. 


I bought this in Tesco quite a while ago and it lasted me a good while, using it every night. It's definitely a good night time moisturiser to have over the winter time when my skin is getting drier. You can instantly feel the cream sinking into your skin.

This is the second packet that I've had of these face wipes. I have to admit that I bought them both at the same time, otherwise I don't think I would have got the two separately. In the first packet I found that the top half of the wipes were on the drier side, I don't feel my face is being cleaned unless it has some moisture to the wipe, these didn't have it. The second packet was better than the first, but overall I didn't feel they did much for my skin apart from remove my make up and the drier ones didn't do that. I originally bought these because I wanted to trial out some different ones from my staple Pure range wipes, but I will be sticking to them in the future. Sorry Superdrug.

Products I've Used Up #2



The first product I've used up is Timotei Pure, I bought a small bottle of this from poundland when I was trying to get the brown out of my hair. In the past I have used this product and it started to strip out my hair colour, I tried this out again and it helped  remove the colour a little.
But for it's actual job of conditioning my hair it did a good job and left my hair feeling soft and silky.

Timotei Pure Conditioner - £2.99 (400ml, Superdrug)












I bought this mascara a long while ago and only typically used it when it was raining and I was in college. I didn't want mascara running down my face, even if I am with horses most of the day. With the large brush I found this mascara did give a big volumus effect to the lashes and was waterproof. I've read reviews for this product in which people have said it dried out quite fast for them but it last a good while for me.

No Longer Available in the Collection 2000 mascara line.










 

This product was in my last favourites and like I mentioned in that post when I first got this foundation I didn't really like it and just used it to use it up, but over the time using it I started to really like it.
I like the coverage it gave and it gave a really nice natural look. 


Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation - £6.99 (Superdrug)












I received this product when I got a deal with the Daily Mail for a box of beauty items worth £70 for £10. I started to use this product and used it all up (I'm using this image as my mum threw it out in the recycle before I could get to it). I found that this face wash didn't do anything special to my skin, it just washed it like any supermarket face wash would. 
Maybe I wasn't using this product in the right way, did anyone try it out from a Beauteco box?

Arran Aromatics Lavender Tea Tree Face Wash - £12.95 (£10.36 on Special price)











Same again with the picture of this product, my mum threw out this bottle before I could get to it. This shower gel had a nice smell to it and the smell lasted a couple of hours on the skin after the shower. I wouldn't buy this product again as I felt it didn't do anything special for the price it's being sold at.


P.s It's my birthday Yey! :)

Products I've used up #1



























 I don't actually use the separate products to cleanse and tone. I find that these wipes do a perfectly enough job for my skin. I use them in the morning and after a shower at night. I got these specific ones from Wilkinsons. These eye makeup remover wipes are my lifesaver, these wipes are so good they'll get waterproof mascara off. These wipes are from poundland, there's 30 in a pack and you get 2 packs for £1.

This is the Garnier Moisture Match for normal to dry skin. I've had this for awhile I got this as a full size sample before the product even hit the shelves. I found this product lasts for a while, it's nice and thick when you need moisture for your skin and it's one of my favourite products now.


 When saving my legs I used to use shower gel until they started getting dry when I was saving. I then googled and found out that using shower gel dries out your legs. Because of this I bought this shaving gel, It worked well with my legs and I found that with this and moistursing that my legs are starting to get better. 
The next product is a line of products from Wilkinsons, I bought this for my mum in a bundle last christmas and she never used it. I stole it and used it, It was your typical body wash but it had bits in it that would exfoliate when you're washing. This product smelt really nice.

The last two products are these Shampoo and conditioner from poundland. I think these are supposed to be like products from the Aussie brand. They smell like bubblegum and they are amazing smelling. The conditioner made my hair shiny and soft. 

I'd have to say that I was impressed by all of these products and I would buy each of them again.
