Empty Products #2

I feel like it takes me forever to completely finish a product! But I seem to have amassed quite the collection of empties in the last couple of weeks. I will show you what I have used up!

1. Soap and Glory Sugar Crush Body Scrub & Body Buttercream - I absolutely loved these! The scrub was really great to use (and effective too) and the body buttercream was so light and creamy. Plus, these smell absolutely amazing! After using the body scrub in the shower, the entire bathroom smelled incredible. I have said it before but the scent is not unlike Yankee Candle Vanilla Lime if you are familiar with that! Would definitely repurchase these, but I might try something different next time. Will definitely come back to Sugar Crush though!

2. Clarins Instant Eye Make Up Remover - I am a little obsessed with this stuff and have gone through countless bottles now at this stage! I can't remove my eye make up properly without it and it is definitely a holy grail product for me. I will have to manage with a micellar water until whatever stage I get to a Clarins counter to repurchase!

3. YSL Touche Eclat - I used to really love this, and this is the second one which I have finished. However I think the bags under my eyes need something a little "stronger" to counteract them. The Touche Eclat is fabulous but I just feel like it hasn't been working for me the last while. A change is as good as a rest, so I have ordered the new Urban Decay Naked concealer for under my eyes to see what it is like!

4. The Body Shop Raspberry Scrub - This is the body scrub that looks like jam! I really enjoyed using this too, though it kinda took a back seat when I got the Soap and Glory scrub. It is almost like a very thick gel but the seeds in it are really good for getting a good scrub! I am quite keen to try more stuff from The Body Shop, I think I would like the honey one next time.

5. L'Oreal Wild Stylers Next Day Hair - This is the only texturising spray I have ever used, but I loved it! I would curl my hair and give it a good spray with this Next Day Hair. My hair can be quite "slippery" so this worked really well for me. I bought this last summer and it has only run out now! Which just shows how often I actually style my hair!

6. Nuxe Reve de Miel Lip Moisturising Stick - I have been using this religiously every day! It is such a lovely lip balm, I loved the texture of it and of course the scent. I have a habit of liberally re-applying lip balms even when I don't need to, so this one I used up fairly quickly. I'd like to try the other Nuxe lip balm in the little pot next time!

7.  The Body Shop Honeymania Lip Balm - This is the lip balm that I keep at my desk at work. Honeymania is such a nice flavour! I really enjoyed using this and will kind of miss it now that it has run out :( though like I say, I will be trying the Nuxe lip balm next time!


What products have you used up lately?

Mini Body Shop Haul!

Do you ever have one of those days - after a long hard day at work you arrive home and start browsing online, when before you know it, you have your bank card in your hand! That was me the other night!

There isn't a Body Shop near me, and I have barely tried any of their things. I don't order too many things of a cosmetic nature online, but I have heard nothing but rave reviews about their body butter. After much consideration I went with the Raspberry! I love anything fruity so I knew i couldn't go wrong. I needed a new body scrub too, so I got the accompanying raspberry. And then, just as I was about to check out, i added in the honey lip balm just for fun! (You can't have too many lip balms, right?)

After trying each of these products a few times, I have to say that I am most taken with the body scrub! It looks exactly like raspberry jam! A tiny bit of product goes a long way, it is hard to see but there are minuscule exfoliating beads in there as well as what looks like seeds! It's really great and it smells so fruity and fresh.

The body butter is great too, I was a little surprised by the texture! It's kind of firm at first, a bit like a mousse texture but it absorbs really well and does not feel sticky at all once it's on! It has the same lovely raspberry scent - if I apply this at night I can still smell it even the next day! I would love to try more of these, especially the orange one!

The lip balm it really nice, it is kind of like a Vaseline type but much softer in texture. The smell is - oh my god! amazing! I actually think I am addicted to this. It gives really decent hydration to the lips but I can't help but re-apply it unnecessarily. I'm not usually a fan of lip balms in pots but this product is so beautiful I don't care. And i think the pot is super cute.

So, I am so impressed with my purchases! I definitely would love to try more things from the Body Shop!
