March Empties

This month I have used quite a few products and I wanted to share them with you. 

Kleenex facial cleansing wipes £2.99
These weren't the best wipes I'd ever used. Although they were soft they didn't remove makeup particularly well especially eye makeup. On a plus side they did stay moist unlike some wipes I've used in the past.

Would I repurchase? Probably not

Soft lips French vanilla lip balm £1.85
I really liked this not only does it smell of vanilla (my favourite scent) it also moisturised my lips. It did tingle which I don't mind but some people will hate that. I think this is an American brand and over there they do many different flavours but I've only ever seen vanilla in the UK. When I went to my local Superdrug to repurchase it they didn't have it so I ended up getting a Nivea one instead.
Would I repurchase? Yes (If I can find it)

Balance me balancing face moisturiser £24 (full size)
I really liked this moisturiser. It left my skin feeling soft and smooth. Also it was 99% organic which is really good. It had a really nice smell to it as well. I wish it wasn't so expensive otherwise I would repurchase it. If you want more detail about this product you can read my review here.
Would I repurchase? Yes

Witch blemish stick £2.89
I love this it is great for removing spots. This is a must for treating spots as it works so well in making them go away. I have already repurchased this as it is so good. For more information you can read my review here.
Would I repurchase? Yes

Botanics skin toning body wash (discontinued)
I didn't particularly like this it had a herbal smell which I didn't like. Also I didn't notice any skin toning effects.

Baylis and Harding peony white tea and jasmine body wash and body lotion (from a gift set)
I liked the body wash it smelt really nice and it lathered up really well. The body lotion was alright although it was really difficult to get out the bottle.

Pantene hair mask £4.69
I really like this hair mask it leaves my hair feeling really soft and smooth. I use this about once a week. It smells really good and I've already repurchased it.
Would I repurchase? Yes

Shopping My Stash Update

A while ago I posted a Shopping My Stash post and I said I would update you with my thoughts on the products I used. I wanted to share with you my thoughts on the products.  I will probably do another one of these in a few months’ time. So onto the products.  

Stila tinted moisturiser- Before I found this really orange but I think it was because I wasn’t blending it properly now with my Buffing Brush this is amazing. It blends out really nicely and it is really light on my skin. It lasts the whole day without the need for reapplication.

Stila powder- I really like this powder it is really light and not cakey. It sets my foundation really well. I think the reason for me not using it was because it wasn’t in a compact but I now have a cute floral compact that I got in a charity shop so I use this more often now.

Witch concealer- If you read my latest Emptiespost you will know that I hated thisand I threw it in the bin. It was really cakeyand didn’t cover blemishes at all and it had a funny smell.

Benetint- I’m not a massive fan of this because I find it difficult to apply and blend. Thecolour however is really pretty andis very subtle which I like. I muchprefer powder blushes so will be sticking to those.

Elf all over cover stick in Toasted- I love this it is a really nice eyeshadow. The Maybellinecolour tattoos have converted me to cream eyeshadows and although I stilllike powder ones I enjoy using cream ones now. The colour of this is reallynice and is great for wearing every day.

Maybellinecolour effect in Cool Beans- Again  like Toasted I really like this. The colour isreally pretty. I think these cameout before the colour tattoos. My only problem with this is that it is in a squeezy tube which means I alwayssqueeze too much out, which is why I prefer the colour tattoos.

Rimmellash building mascara- This mascara is still not my favourite and it isbecause of the curved wand. I findthat this mascara clumps and becauseof the curved wand I find it difficult to apply but that is just my personalpreference.

From the top cool beans, toasted, benetint, concealer, powder and tinted moisturiser 

I hope you enjoyed this post if you have done a post like this let me know I'd love to read it.

Products I’ve Used Up #6

Pantene repair and protect shampooand conditioner-  £4.69

I love this shampoo and conditioner not only does it smell nice but it leaves my hairfeeling amazing.  After using this, myhair feels really soft and clean.

Would I repurchase? Yes

Imperial Leather Bath Cream – Limited edition

I didn't like the smell of this. However it did create lots of bubbles for when I had a bubblebath which I really liked. I might try some others from the range but not thisscent.

Would I repurchase? No

Nivea Crème Soft- Sample

I really liked this it smelt of soap so it had a nice cleanscent. I found this to be really moisturisingand I liked to use this after scrubbing and shaving my legs.  

Would I repurchase? No (because I have a lot of shower gelsto use up)

Body Shop shower gel Cassis Rose- Discontinued

I was so disappointed to find out that this had been discontinued. I love the scent of thisI am not usually a fan of rose scents as they are usually overpowering andcheap smelling. But this was really nice it smelt fresh and was a very subtlescent.

Boots Extracts Cocoa Butter- From a gift set full size £7.95

I loved this body butter it was so moisturising and it dried really quickly as well. This smeltamazing and the smell lingered on the skin. I could get away with not applyingit every day because it kept my skinsoft for ages.

Would I repurchase? Yes

Garnier simply essentials 2 in 1 makeup remover- £2.99

This is really good for removing makeup. I used this on lazydays when I didn't have time to use my hotcloth cleanser. I found at times it could make my skin oily.

Would I repurchase? No

Garnier mineral Invisible deodorant- £2.09

I really like this deodorant it smells quite nice and itdoes a really good job. Unlike some deodorants it doesn’t leave white marks on myclothes and dries really quickly.

Would I repurchase? Yes

Witchanti blemish concealer- £4.75

I hated this which is a shame as I really like the blemishstick. I found that this was really cakeyon my skin and it didn't cover blemishesat all. It also had a strange smell which I presume was the witch hazel but I didn't like it at all. Also the application was messy as you had to twist it to get the product up and use thebrush to apply it.

Would I repurchase? No

Updated Skincare Routine #2

In the morning I wash my face with the Neutrogena grapefruit face wash. When I first got this I found the smell to be too strong but now I really like it. I then use the Nivea cleanser and toner from their daily essentials range. I really like this as it is very moisturising. The moisturiser that I am using that the moment is the radiance moisturiser from Along Came Betty. I love this as it smells really nice and it wakes my skin up.

In the evening I use my vitamin e hot cloth cleanser to remove my makeup. I really like this as it removes makeup really well. I them use my botanics toning spray to remove anything that the cleanser hasn't removed. This is really refreshing and in the summer I spray it throughout the day. I am using the balance me moisturiser at the moment and I really like it. It is really moisturising and it is made from natural ingredients.

Once a week I will use a face mask and scrub. At the moment I am really liking the face mask from Superdrug's simply pure range. My skin feels really soft after I use this. The scrub I'm using at the moment is the my skin face scrub. This smells really nice and its too harsh either.

On days when I'm feeling a bit lazy then I won't use my hot cloth cleanser to remove my makeup. I will either use a face wipe or my Garnier makeup remover. The Kleenex wipes are really soft although not the best for removing makeup. I quite like the Garnier makeup remover although it wouldn't be suitable for oily skin types.

When I have spots I will use my witch blemish stick in the morning. This works really well at reducing the spots. In the evening I will use the clean and clear dual action moisturiser. I put a blob of it on my spot and let it sink in. This works really well at reducing spots.
