Hello you lovely lot!
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!
I'm getting back into blogging now that I'm becoming used to the routine of uni, but I haven't got a christmas haul for you today. I've already packed up most of my things to take back to Derby with me, plus the light in my room here is really bad for photos. I might put up a mini post of a few things I got in a few days, but there are some guaranteed reviews coming soon, on pieces from Soap & Glory, Lush, Sleek and Avon to name a few!
Today I've got an empties post for you, because I've been finishing up products at a ridiculous rate the last month or so.
Superdrug nourishing nail polish remover
"acetone free with aloe vera and vitamin E"
I've started using any acetone free nail varnish remover because it's apparently healthier for your nails. I keep meaning to research into why but that requires free time! However this does its job nicely enough, what more could you ask?! I'm thinking of doing a little bit more research into nail care, so hopefully I'll be making a post on that soon :)
Tresemme instant refresh dry shampoo
"the perfect solution to instantly cleanse & revitalise hair without water"
I love this, it's such a staple hair care product for me! I've reviewed it here and it was in my last empties post.
Aussie heat protect leave in spray
"When you really want style, your hair can't let you down. So spritz a little Take the Heat Leave in Spray into your hair and Hallelujah! Gorgeously protected hair that's ready to keep up with you!"
This is one of the first heat protect sprays that I've used, and I really love it! I've noticed that my hair smells much less of burning when I use this before using heat (always a good thing), and also my hair has significantly less split ends. I'd repurchase this definitely, although for now I'm trying out a few of the other products in the range.
The Body Shop organic cotton pads
"made from 100% organic cotton. soft and gentle on the skin"
I started using these back when I first started blogging, and I've been buying them since. They're just your bog standard cotton pad really, although these have never fallen apart, and their slightly larger size means that taking off your make up goes through so fewer cotton pads!
Lush Big shampoo
"We love salt on the hair because it’s great for giving volume. We experimented with it for a very long time before coming up with this, our ultimate salt shampoo."
Back when I had rather a big shop in October, I was given this as a sample from a lovely lady in Lush. My friend Jessie, who I was shopping with, uses this a lot and her hair always looks gorgeous so I immediately asked to try this when I was offered a sample of anything! Using it was a bit strange because it has chunks of salt in it, which help volumise your hair, but I saw such a difference. I've put the full size onto the Christmas list, so hopefully I'll get it. I'd like to get it anyway because I really want to do a proper review of this!
The Body shop tea tree blemish gel
I've become slightly addicted to the Tea Tree range from the Body Shop because I've found it to be super effective on any spots that I get. The size of this particular product has pros and cons, because it's great for traveling but runs out so quickly. I've been exploring more of the range to try out for reviews :)
Natural Collection concealer stick
This is one of the first ever products that I used, and I have always stuck with this concealer. I'm trying out a few new ones, but I love this so much! I use the shade fair, which matches my skin really well and I find the coverage to be really good and lasting. Plus it's only £1.99!
Soap & Glory Thick & Fast mascara
I got this as a freebie, and although I wasn't initially too keen, I think I might repurchase it because it is a really nice mascara. The only downfall for me is the size of the mascara want, it's such a daunting size to put so close to your eye!
Collection 2000 colour lash
This is something else that I'll be repurchasing but not for my lashes. The one pictured I used on my lashes, but I have another which I use as a brow gel. I prefer to use it that way, but it works really well both ways! I wouldn't recommend this as a mascara base coat if you get ready in a hurry though, because I'm fairly certain it's not very effective if it isn't slightly dried when you apply mascara over it.
17 Peep Show mascara
17 has to be one of my faavourite brands for mascara, and Peep Show wasn't a disappointment. I've bought a replacement for this already! I'll be doing reviews of my top five mascaras soon, and I can guarantee that this one is going to be in it. I love the formula, brush and packaging, plus it's not super expensive at £6.29.
I hope you liked this post! Let me know if you wanted full reviews of any of these things :)
