Small Beauty Haul ¦ October 2012 ¦

Hi Guys,

Hope that you are all okay, so after going for a job interview this morning, me and my Nan decided to go and do a little bit of shopping! *hehe* I just wanted to get some stuff from Boots and Superdrug so here we go, 

Firstly I needed to stock up on some more facewipes, in Superdrug I found that these Simple facewipes were buy one get one free. These have always been my favourite ones to get but I just normally get whichever ones are on offer. So I was happy when I saw that these were.  

Then I got the Nivea Daily Essentials Express Hydration Primer, I have wanted to try this ever since I first saw it, so today when I was having a little shop fuddle I decided to cave and get it to see what it was like. I have read a lot of reviews of it so am very excited to see how it works for me. 

These next 2 things are a bit strange for a beauty haul but at the moment I have my wisdom teeth coming through :( *ouchhyyy* so I decided that I needed to get some ‘bonjella’ and some mouth wash to see if they would help. So, yea I'm not too sure what else to say about that!

This is definitely my favourite eye makeup remover I have ever used! To me it feels like I'm using water! It is the Garnier Simply Essentials Soothing Eye Makeup Remover. If you have seen any of my empties posts you will see it in there! I have been using it for a very long time! 

The Superdrug Naturally Radiant Brightening Hot Cloth Cleanser was a bit of a gamble for me to be honest. I am absolutely in love with the Boots No7 one but it has almost ran out, and when I saw this in superdrug for £2.99 (I think) I decided I wanted to give it a go! I'm sure there will be a review of it once I have given it a good test out.

I usually use the Sally Hansen Insta-dri top coat for my nails but recently I haven’t been able to find it anywhere! So today I found the Superdrug 2 in 1 Top Coat and Nail Hardener, I don’t know how good it is going to be but I thought I’d give it a go and see what it was like.

Next I got the Rimmel Glam Eyes Liquid Eyeliner, I got this for free because I spent over £6.99 on Rimmel in Superdrug. I don’t know if I am going to use this for myself or put it in my college makeup kit, I haven’t decided yet. 

This is the reason I got the Eyeliner for free. I have been looking for new foundations to put into my College makeup kit because I really don’t like the ones that came in it (even our tutor agreed that it wasn’t the best) and I decided that I wanted to try this Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation, I thought that I would get one for myself to try to see what it was like before I buy more colours for my kit. So I tried to match myself to the colour as best as I could. I am really looking forward to trying this out.

This is a massive repurchase, for about the 8^th or 9^th time! The Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer. I absolutely love this concealer and I always have to have it in my collection, I think that I am going to get some for my College kit as well.

Again another strange one but this seems to be the only deodorant that I can use the Dove Go Fresh Cucumber and Green Tea one, I have tried so many in the past but just keep going back to this one!

The Clinique Anti Blemish Solutions Foundation is my 100% favourite foundation that I have ever tried! I love all of the Clinique foundations I have tried but this one is the best for me! I didn’t actually buy this today; my Nan went and bought it for me yesterday because she went to Debenhams, reason being because they had the Bonus Time on until Saturday, she kindly gave me the Bonus Time bag as well! 

 In the Bonus Time Bag I got,

All About Eyes eye cream

Take The Day Off eye makeup remover

Mild Liquid Facial Soap

Blusher – Sunset Glow

Chubby Stick – Mega Melon

High Impact Mascara – Brightening Black

So this is everything that I have got recently, if you would like any reviews on any of these products please let me know! 

Have any of you got any recent haul posts? 

Lots of Love

All Used Up - May 2012

Hey Guys,

So I decided at the start of last month that I would keep my empty products for a blog post, as I absolutely love reading empties posts and watching empties videos on Youtube. So these are probably more than a month’s worth of products here so there may not be this many every month, but I am on a bit of a ‘use everything up’ mission at the moment as I am moving house in around 4 weeks *YAYYYY*

1.       Gillette Satin Care Shave Gel – Radiant Apricot

I really liked this to be honest, but I don’t know if I will re-purchase it. Me and my mum share shave gel and we normally just but what is on offer at the time depending on where we go. I however do love the smell of this one so if it is on offer next time I see it, it will definitely be in my basket!  

2.       Clinique Deep Comfort Body Wash

I have had this for a while, my Nan bought me a set of the body was, body lotion and body scrub, I used the body scrub up quite quickly and I still have about half of the body lotion left. I do really like this body wash it foams up great and makes your skin feel really clean afterwards. It doesn’t really have a smell; it just smells like every other Clinique product. Even though I did really like this I do not think that I would repurchase it because for a body wash it is quite expensive and I have quite a few more to use up before I buy any more.

3.       Dove Go Fresh Nourishing Body Wash – Pomegranate & Lemon Verbena

This used to be my staple body wash, I absolutely love the smell, texture and how it foams up. I think it’s a great price, (as I used to buy it in ASDA) I think this will definitely be the one that I go back to after I have used up all the other ones I have!

4.       V05 Cherish My Colour Conditioner

I actually really liked this conditioner, I used it with the shampoo as well, but I always seem to use the conditioner quicker than the shampoo. I do think that it kept my hair colour vibrant and it did leave my hair really smooth and soft. I think that I would repurchase it, if I didn’t always want to try new hair products.

5.       Herbal Essences Hello Hydration Conditioner

Now even though what I said before that I very rarely repurchase hair products, I am definitely going to repurchase this one; I only have the small bottle because I do not use it every time I wash my hair. I use it as a bit of a hydration treatment when I am just chilling in the bath about once a week. I think I should probably get the version of this that is actually a mask. So that might be my next purchase, but I think that this is a great conditioner; it smells great and leaves my hair so unbelievably soft. An absolute winner in my eyes.

6.       Clinique Anti Blemish Solutions Cleansing Foam

This is one of my Holy Grail products. I have already repurchased it; I did so the day after I ran out of this one. It is one of the best skincare products I have used for spot prone skin. I also have the step 2 in this system from Clinique and love that too! I really love foaming cleansers. This one doesn’t dry my skin out at all, and just makes it feel really clean and I feel that it does really work on my spots as well.

7.       Nivea Extra Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover

I didn’t actually buy this myself, I asked my nan to get me the eye make-up remover that I normally use and she couldn’t find it so bought me this one, it was good and it did get my make-up off, but I really didn’t like the smell of it. The one I normally use doesn’t have a smell and this does. I also thought that it stung my eyes more than the one I normally use. Most eye makeup removers sting my eyes, I don’t think I have ever found one that doesn’t at all. But I don’t think that I would repurchase this one again! I have bought my normal one now this is ran out!

8.       Soap & Glory Flake Away Body Scrub

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS! I used to use the Body Shop Mango Scrub and I liked that but I found that it went really bitty on my skin and didn’t go on smooth at all, this does! It is the best body scrub I have ever tried! The smell is amazing as well. I agree with most people that say that it smells like Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Perfume! (Which is next on my list of perfume I want) I have already repurchased the full size tub as this was the small one. This is without a doubt my new favourite body scrub!

9.       Clinique Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief

This is such an amazing night time moisturiser! I love it! This is a small sample size of it and I have almost used a whole full size tub too, I just love the consistency of it, as it is a Gel Crème. It’s just so smooth and really makes me feel moisturised from the second I put it one to the morning. I have got another small pot of this which I keep at my boyfriend’s house. I have bought a different day and night moisturiser from No7 to give a try because no matter how much I love this one, it is just so expensive! So we will see if I love the No7 one as much or if I will revert back to this one!

10.   Clinique Superdefence SPF25

This was my day moisturiser until I used this up and bough the No7 one to go with the night cream. I did really like it and loved the fact that it has SPF in it, but again it is very expensive. I have also recently bought a Garnier facial SPF so I do not really need one in my moisturiser. I do have another little pot of this at my boyfriend’s house, I am going to say the same about this as the Moisture Surge, if I like the No7 one more then I am going to stick with that but only time will tell.

11.   Estee Lauder Signature Face Powder

This is actually the only make-up product that I have used up recently! I got this as a sample from the counter in my local boots, it is in the shade 12 – Translucent and was a fabulous colour on me, which I really find hard in powders. I absolutely adore loose powder so I loved this and I don’t think I have a bad word to say about this! I have not yet looked at the price so I am not sure how much it is full size, depending on that will determine whether I repurchase it in full size or not.

So that was my empties for this month, I hope that you enjoyed the post, expect another at the end of this month, as I am keeping the Benefit bag under my desk to put all of my empties in.

Lots of Love
