February Empties

Today I thought I'd share with you some of my recent empties, I haven't written one of these posts for a while a my pile of empties was building up so I thought that it was about time that I wrote a post about what I have been using up. 

First item is the Aussie Miracle Hair Insurance this is a leave in conditioner which I spray on my hair when it is wet. It acts as a detangler and also makes my hair really soft plus it smells amazing. I have already repurchased this as I use it every time I wash my hair. The next items are the Tresemme Platinum Strength Shampoo and Conditioner I really enjoyed these 2 products they left my hair feeling so soft and nourished. They also seemed to make my hair dry straighter when it dried naturally which was really good. I would pick these up again in a heartbeat because I love how they made my hair look and feel. 

I finished my Along Came Betty Pore Fectly Clean Hot Cloth Cleanser I loved this cleanser as it removed all of my makeup and unlike some cleansers this one didn't dry out my skin. The Garnier 2 in 1 makeup remover is something that I am glad I have finished I did not like this at all. I found that it wasn't particularly great at removing makeup and it left my skin feeling very oily. The Botanics Rosewater Toning Spritz is perfect for refreshing your face throughout the day when it is hot and is also good to use after cleansing as it removes any leftover residue. I will get this again when the weather gets warmer as it is so refreshing on the skin. I really liked the Naturally Radiant Renewing Night Cream it smelt really good and it left my skin feeling really soft. Some night creams can feel heavy on the skin but this was light and sank in really well. 

I have recently got back into using mouthwash I stopped using it because I wasn't a fan of the over powering mint taste and I didn't really like this Colgate Plax one either it was just too minty. I have finally found one that I do like from the same line but it is the Clean Mint one which isn't too minty so it doesn't burn my mouth. I only bought the Colgate Max White One as you got a free Nails Inc polish with it but it was a pretty good toothpaste that helped whiten my teeth a bit.

September and October Empties

So I know it is like the middle of November but I wanted to share with you my September and October empties. I was supposed to post this ages ago but it go to the end of each month and I hadn't posted it so I thought I would post it now before it is the end of the month again. I haven't actually used that much up recently but I thought I would still share my empties with you. I finished the Nivea Facial Cleansing Wipes which  I wasn't a massive fan of. I usually use wipes if I haven't got time or I haven't actually got that much makeup on. I know they are bad for your skin but I don't always use them. I also use wipes to remove swatches. Usually I take photos for my blog in bulk as I don't get very much time so I always need to get rid of my swatches. These wipes were ok, they were quite soft but they weren't amazing at removing makeup. Next empty is the Pantene Deep Repair Mask   which I love. This is a really nice mask it deeply conditions my hair and it smells amazing. I will repurchase this again however I want to try some other masks as well. I used up the Superdrug Naturally Radiant Hot Cloth Cleanser  which I loved. I preferred this one to the Vitamin E one. This removed makeup really well, it was gentle on the skin and it made my skin look brighter. I would definitely get this again. I used up some Colgate toothpaste which I quite liked it did make my teeth seem slightly whiter however I prefer the one I'm currently using called Max White one. I used up the Nip + Fab Dry Leg Fix which I got in an issue of Cosmopolitan, I loved this product and I am tempted to buy the full size. Firstly this smelt amazing and it made my legs so soft and smooth. It is one of the best body lotions that I have ever used and it sank into my skin really likely which is a huge plus for me. The last thing I used up was the Spa Hand Wash I got this in a gift set last Christmas, it came with a hand lotion as well. This hand wash smelt amazing and I am sad that I can't get it all year round.

Naturally Radiant Renewing Night Cream Review

After trying the hot cloth cleanser from the same range I knew I wanted to try some of the other products in the range. About a month ago I finished my Botanics night cream and I knew I wanted to try the Naturally Radiant one. I have been using it for just over a month now so I wanted to share my opinions with you.

This range from Superdrug uses plant extracts within its products.This particular product has kiwi extract and mulberry extract which helps brighten the skin.  The fruit acids help naturally exfoliate the skin and the sugar beet helps moisturises the skin.

The product has a herbal scent which I believe the whole range has. I quite like the scent but some people may not like the scent although once on your skin the scent does not linger.

The packaging is quite simple it has a lovely colour which all the packaging in the range has. There is 75ml of product which is quite a lot for the price. The full price of the cream is £5.99 but at the moment the Naturally Radiant range is on offer so it is only £2.99 which is a bargain.

The  cream is quite thick but it doesn't feel greasy on my skin. I find that it sinks in really well and when I wake up in the morning my skin feels moisturised and I think it does look more radiant. This product claims to even out skin tone but I haven't noticed that it does this. 

Overall I really like this cream and I recommend it as it is very moisturising and leaves my skin feeling very soft. 

Have you tried this?

July Favourites

It's that time again for favourites. This month has gone so quickly and I am now on my summer holidays. I haven't been loving a lot this month as I've mainly stuck to the same things but there has been a few stand out products for me. 

The first thing I have been loving is Superdrugs Naturally Radiant Night Cream I really like this stuff. It smells amazing and isn't too thick. I apply it before I go to bed and although it sinks in quickly my skin is really soft when I wake up in the morning. 

The next thing I have been loving is a face wash from Arran Aromatics this is a Scottish. I have been loving this lavender and tea tree face wash. This has bits of actual lavender in which helps exfoliate the skin it also has tea tree in which helps prevent spots. I use this after using my hot cloth cleanser and I have been loving how it leaves my skin fee

ling. 

Now onto makeup favourites this month they are all eye products. Firstly is the Avon SuperShock gel eyeliner which I got free in an issue of Marie Claire. This is very similar to the Rimmel Scandaleyes eyeliners. I love this eyeliner as it is a very pigmented black and unlike my MUA one it doesn't fade during the day. I love wearing it on my waterline and also to line my upper lash line. 

My  next favourite is the Rimmel Scandaleyes eye shadow stick in Bulletproof Beige. I love the colour of this, it is a gold shimmery colour and I love wearing this by itself. I have just been adding it to my lids and blending it out as it is a very quick look to do. 

My last favourite is the Model Co. Lashxtend mascara that I got in Glamour magazine. I love this because it lengthens my lashes and makes them look lovely. The mascara doesn't budge which is good in these warmer months but when it comes to removing it comes off easily. I also like that it has a mirror on it which means I can apply it on the go which I go sometimes if I haven't had much time in the morning to get ready. 

What have you been loving this month?

Naturally Radiant Hot Cloth Cleanser Review

When my Vitamin E Hot Cloth Cleanser came to an end on the one hand I was sad because I had really enjoyed using it but on the other hand I was happy as I got to try another hot cloth cleanser to see how it compared. I picked this one up from Superdrug's own range called Naturally Radiant. 

I was intrigued by this range as it uses plant extracts which is meant to make the skin softer and more radiant. 

I use a hot cloth cleanser to remove my face makeup as I find using it on my eyes is a little too harsh as it uses a muslin cloth to remove the product. This uses kiwi fruit extract  and mulberry fruit extract which helps make the skin appear brighter. The addition of cocoa butter means that it moisturises and softens the skin.  

This tube is slightly smaller than the Vitamin E one as it was 200ml and this is only 150ml  and they are both £5.99. I think I slightly prefer this one as it smells nicer than the Vitamin E one. The Vitamin E one didn't have a scent which will suit some people but I prefer products that have a scent. 

You use this in exactly the same way as the Vitamin E one. You rub some of the product over your face and neck (I've found that it does remove eye makeup quite well but sometimes the muslin cloth can be a bit too harsh but I have quite sensitive eyes). You then run the muslin cloth under hot water, wring it out and then wipe away the product. 

I think that this does make the skin look more radiant and it removes makeup really well. This uses a muslin cloth (which is included when you buy it) which means that it gently exfoliates the skin. The cream is quite thick which I really like as I find that it is quite moisturising.

Overall I think just beats the Vitamin E one but I recommend both of them as they are both really good products. I plan to try some more things from this range as I really like it.

Updated Skincare Routine #3

I thought it was about time I did an updated skincare routine post as some of the products have changed. Some of them haven't changed so I didn't bother photographing them, if you want to see them you can look at my old post here. 

This new face wash from Clean & Clear is really refreshing to use in the morning. It really wakes up my skin and the little beads in it gently exfoliate my skin. 

I love this moisturiser from Nivea it is really light but it gives my skin a lot of moisture. I really recommend this cream they also have one for dry and sensitive skin and oily skin so there is something for everyone. 

I ran out of my Vitamin E hot cloth cleanser but I had this in my cupboard. I really like this it smells really nice and it removes my makeup really well. 

I really like this face wash which I use at night. It contains tea tree which helps combat spots and it also has lavender in as well so it smells really good. It actually has real bits of lavender in it which helps exfoliate the skin. This product uses natural ingredients which is another good thing about it. 

Lastly is my night cream, I love this one from Botanics. It smells really good and is super moisturising. It leaves my skin feeling really soft. If you want more information you can read my review here.

Weekend Wishlist #2

I have so many things on my wishlist at the moment but unfortunately I have no money so I can't get them at the moment. I thought I would share a couple of the things that I am lusting after. 

Sleek Sweet Cheeks Blush £9.99

I have seen so many rave reviews about this trio of blushes. All the colours are really pretty and colours that I would wear. Plus I have never tried anything from Sleek before and I would love to try some of their stuff.

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer £5.99

I have the foundation and powder from this range (reviews coming shortly) and I quite like them and I have heard good things about the concealer so I really want to try it. 

Real Techniques Limited Edition Duo Fibre Collection   £22.92

I love the Core Collection and Starter Set and I have been lusting after more brushes for ages and this new collection looks amazing. 

Naturally Radiant Face Mask £4.99

In my May Favourites post I mentioned the Naturally Radiant Hot Cloth Cleanser. I love the hot cloth cleanser and really want to try more from the range. The mask really appeals to me as I love using face masks.

L'Oreal Micellar Solution  £4.99

I've heard good things about this, it is meant to be good at removing eye makeup and is said to be a dupe for Bioderma which I have yet to try as it is quite difficult to get in the UK. 

What is on your wishlist?
