January 2015 Empties

January 2015 Empties

Kleenex Shine Sheets – I talk about these all the time, they’re unfortunately discontinued but I did manage to find some in Home Bargain a while ago and so I stocked up on quite a few. I like to carry them with me just to keep the shine at bay, it means I have to powder less throughout the day. A pack of 50 sheets lasts me over a month & they’re handy to have especially in the warmer months.

Herbal Essences Dry Shampoo – I bought this from the Poundshop & love to try a new dry shampoo. Since I had my hair cut into a short bob I don’t wash it as often and dry shampoo has become my best friend. This one did leave a slight white cast but it also did a very good job at absorbing the oil of 3 day hair. I liked how it gave my hair volume & texture too. I would buy the full size of this.

Molton Brown Thai Vert Hand Cream – I had the hand wash in the same scent & really like them both. I think I prefer the hand wash over the handcream. The handcream lasted me a whole year, its a little greasy but the scent is uplifting and fresh. I wouldn’t buy the handcream again. I think there are better quality ones available.

Grace Cole Pink Grapefruit & Watermelon Handwash* – OMG did this last me for ages. I decanted it into a smaller bottle, so it did’t look as industrial in my bathroom. I have to say the packaging might be a little large (500ml) but the product itself was really nice. It smells so fruity and tropical, it didn’t dry out my hands and left them feeling smooth and clean. I was quite impressed & its a brand I hadn’t heard of before but I will be checking out a few more products from them as they’re affordable and great quality.

Eucerin Micellar Water* – This was an effective makeup remover but I used it up quite quickly. It didn’t sting my eyes or dry out my skin. I do think the Garnier Micellar Water is better but this is still a great option if you are able to purchase it on offer. I reviewed it more in depth here.

Moroccan Oil Hair Treatment – I do like this & thought it was incredible, until I tried a few other hair oils & I realised that they were just as good. Moroccan Oil has a hefty price tag & I think the Avon hair oil, Dr Organic & OGX hair oils are all just as good.

Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask – I adore this mask & I like to use it as an overnight treatment if my skin is dry or needs a boost of hydration. Although I think this also works well as a face mask for 30 minutes. I get almost the same results. Its great as a winter mask, it gives your skin a little help combating the effects of the central heating.

Origins Clear Improvement Mask – Another great mask, I like to use this once a week to balance my skin and help draw out all the grime & dirt. It helps keep my skin clear & less oily. I think this is a staple in most peoples skincare regime. Its a mask you can always count on.

Jane Packer Fig, Sandalwood & Amber Perfume – This is a beautiful fragrance, I’m sad its all used up & will have to replace it asap. My favourite scent is Fig & this has Sandalwood and Amber thrown in too which make for a sophisticated beautiful fragrance. I have written a little more about the perfume & Jane Packer here.

Seventeen Back Lash Mascara – This is a really good jet black mascara. It didn’t clump or flake & when I wanted bolder looking lashes it was buildable. It gives volume and separates my lashes making them look a lot thicker. I would 100% buy this again. If you’re looking for a purse friendly mascara then I recommend this one.

Products that are marked with an * have either been sent to me for my consideration or I’ve received at events. I’m under no obligation to review them on my blog. However if I do, the reviews are 100% my own.

  1. I love Grace Cole I picked up a Passionfruit and Guava Body Mist think it was a huge 200ml bottle for only five pounds in House of Fraser (that was full price as well) if you want to try more of the range I’d definitely recommend the body mists! I’ll be looking into their body butters next 🙂
