Empties #2

I have too many beauty products. I buy stuff pretty much for the sake of it a lot of the time... bad for my bank, good for the economy?! Doing my bit...



Superdrug Vitamin E Daily Moisturisor
Affordable - yes but this cream did nothing for my skin what so ever. I was such a big fan of the Superdrug Vitamin E range but this cream really did my skin no benefits. In the end, this cream became my foot cream! Waste not, want not. Definitely not repurchasing this cream.

Revlon Grow Luscious Eye Liner in Black
Apart from the Estee Lauder double wear eyeliner pencil, Revlon Grow Luscious eyeliner is my 2nd favourite. I don't really know why I didn't just get the Estee Lauder one as there is about £4 price difference?! Anyway, this eye liner is a lovely intense black that smudges to a soft smokey look wonderfully. Already repurchased! Good sign. 

Collection Healthy Mix Concealer in Light  (Not pictured)
One of my favourite under eye concealers ever. This stuff gives a lightning effect without being too unnatural, covers dark circles and bags to perfection and is affordable. Another product I have already repurchased! 

MUA Black eyeshadow 
This little guy was getting to the end of its life, it cracked & was a black eyeshadow mess then it got stuck up the leg of my joggies - do not ask how, I don't know! - and went flying across the room resulting in black eyeshadow being everywhere, EVERYWHERE. It was nearing it's end but I could have disposed of the remainder in a less messy way. Definitely repurchasing this wee guy. £1 for a decent enough eyeshadow that lasts ages & does its job well. If you don't cater-polt it across the room that this...

L'Oreal Elive Damage Care Conditioning repair spray
I bought this as part of a deal at least 8 months ago & have finally got round to using it up. why I bought it I don't know?! It is an alright product but I think more suited to a longer haired lady as I found it to just gather in the roots making my hair appear greasy.

Rimmel Wake me up foundation
Another whim purchase that I hated. This foundation is so drying it is crazy!  By the end of the day my face felt like a bit of sand paper. Not impressed with this which is a shame as I so wanted to love it!

Bourjous Healthy mix Serum in 53
This was my fake tan foundation shade that I used up before giving up the fake tanner for all eternity... maybe. Not really much to say on this one. I repurchased it in 52 and then in 51 as I got paler. This foundation & I have a long standing love affair.

Empties


I mostly focus on fashion on Erratic Glamour but I buy & try a fair amount of beauty products so I thought I would keep a few empties each month - not the boring every day stuff like deodorant etc - and talk about how I found them. So here goes!



Garnier Soft Essentials Comforting Toner 
This is the Rose extract version which is specifically for dry skin something which I have struggled with for as long as I can remember ... boo hoo! I really love this range as it removes all my make up quickly & gives my skin a nice clean feeling without leaving a heavy residue plus it couldn't be anymore readily available really, from Boots to your local Tesco stock this range so easy to get hold of as well as being affordable. Once my Olay products run dry I will definitely be looking to this once again.

Clinique High Impact Mascara 
My Granny gave me this sample sized Clinique mascara when I was home over Christmas & of course I used it religiously so this little tube of loveliness dry. I would 100% consider buying a full size tube of this when my Faux Cils runs out as it gives a lovely long, full look to the lashes without being clumpy. Winning.

Marks & Spencer Floral Collection Magnolia Shower Cream 
 This stuff is my favourite scent ever. It is floral without being too much & is a really nice moisturising product.  I got this in a set with some talcum powder - love this too - and some bubble bath. I am 100% going to repurchase this as I can see no flaws with it at all. It is just my favourite!

Boots Botanics Hydrating day cream All bright with SPF 15
Another buy it on a whim product that turns out to be something I really, really love. I bought this when it was on offer (I think the range is still on offer) as I needed a new face cream. This gives all day mositure while adding a subtle, healthy glow. I am really enjoying the Botanics products now after the re-brand they had not so long ago.

The Body Shop Sweet Lemon Body butter
I love these body butters regardless but sweet lemon was a new scent for me, I normally stick to the shea butter what a bore! This was a nice surprise, it isn't overly powerful scent wise & does the job perfectly. I can't complain about this one either. If I ever feel adventurous again in terms of body moisturiser scents then sweet lemon will get a look in!

A few, well actually, all these products I would buy again for sure.
