Empties Late Winter 2016

  
This could very well be my most abitious empties post ever.  To be honest there are a couple of products here that aren’t empty, we just did not get along very well.  I considered doing a makeup I’m getting rid of or donating post in a few weeks but it feels so good to clear out the Superdrug bag under my bathroom sink.  With that said: let’s dive into the goodies.
Batiste Dry Shampoo in Tropical

I really want to love this.  I’ve been using Batiste for a long time but for some reason I haven’t been getting on with the Tropical scent.  Don’t get me wrong I love the smell and packaging but I get halfway through the can and it spraying product.  It’s so bazar.  It’s happened to both cans.  Sigh.

Recommend: No.


Boots Anti Viral Hand Foam

This isn’t the first empties this hand sanitizer has been in.  It’s my favourite hand sanitizer; quick, odourless, and non sticky.

Recommend: Yes.


Pantene Classic Clean Shampoo and Conditioner

I usaully really enjoy Pantene shampoo and conditioner, but for some reason this just my hair look and feel so meh.b I don’t know if the UK formula is different than the USA but this just did not get along with my hair at all.

Recommend: No.


L’Occitane Hand Cream

Another product that’s been in my empties before. I’ll keep it short and sweet: the best.

Recommend: Yes.


CVS Tinted Under Eye Roller

This is a nice eye roller for the morning.  It’s light and really does help with dry circles.  It’s affordable and does the job.  A long time favourite.

Recommend: Yes.


Rimmel Fix and Perfect Primer

I absolutely adored this primer.  It did the job at an extremely affordable price.

Recommend: Yes.


Soap & Glory Soothe Bath Float

I bought this to curb my lush addiction.  While it does smell nice and add some bubbles to your bath it’s really not that great.  It says to use a handful but that did nothing.  It’s a fairly large container and it only lasted me four baths.

Recommend: No.


Sephora Peal Mask

I always pick one of these up when I go to Sephora.  I used this one after my flight from Newark and my skin felt so nice after a long flight,

Recommend: Yes.


Simple Moisturizer

I’ve gone through so many of these in the last few years.  It doesn’t make me greasy or clog my pores.  Sometimes it does burn my skin (sensitive skin grrr) but overall it’s z great drugstore Moisturizer.

Recommend: Yes.


John Frieda Frizz Ease Hair Gloss Mist

This is my holy grail hair product.  I’ve mentioned this a few times but it’s a really fine mist you just spray in your hair.  I like to do a few spritzes st the ends and fluff it out.  

Recommend: Yes.


MAC Lipstick in Hot Gossip

I’ve mentioned this so many times in my last few posts.  This is the one that broke but I did replace it.

Reccomend: Yes.


Clinique Syreum

At first I really enjoyed this little sampler.  It made my skin super soft but after a while I stopped noticing a difference.  It’s quite expensive and I’m not sure it really did anything.

Recommend: No.


Borjouis CC Cream

Ugh.  This sat on my skin all funny.  This is the lightest shade and it oxidised so quickly on my skin.  I finished about 2/3 of it before switching back to my Bare Minerals.  Life is too short for bad makeup.

Recommend: No.


Diorshow Mascara in Coffee

This was really having a moment on my blog about six months ago.  It’s a beautiful mascara that stays in place all day.  

Recommend: Yes.


Clinique Dramatically Different Mascara

For the first week this was really going well, and then one day it began irritating my eyes so bad.  So yeah, I still don’t like Clinique mascara.

Recommend: No.


Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer

I felt like I was using this concealer for years.  (Okay it was a year but still.). It’s a great formula with nice coverage.  I do prefer the Bobbi Brown one I’m using now but this is a great alternative.

Recommend: Yes.


Kiko Lip Pencil 107

Another product I’ve mentioned a lot on my blog.  I have a backup but I’ve been holding on to this little guy for ages.  It’s the best inexpensive lip liner out there.  I love using this and putting pink shades on top.  A great brown for those of us who are fair skinned or want to dive into the brown trend but aren’t fully committed.

Recommend: Yes.


Rimmel Brow Pencil in Hazel

This was so inexpensive and lasted all freaking day.  I purchased this last March and stopped using it in January so its really a super bargain.  It is quite bold so if you’re looking for something light this might not be your best bet.

Recommend: Yes.


CVS Hair Removal Cream

I think this expired.  I used it for almost two years with no problem, but the last two times I’ve used it I’ve got such bad burns that lasted for a few days.  So, it’s going in the bin.

Recommend: No.
