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

Beauty And Makeup Tips- Storing Makeup

My first post in this series is going to be on storing makeup.

It is important that you have somewhere to store your makeup either a drawer in your bathroom or bedroom or a shelf it is also important not to put your makeup in direct sunlight so avoid putting it on a window sill. I am going to show how I store my makeup.

As you can see I have dedicated one drawer for my makeup as my collection expands I will need to change my storage system but for now it is fine. I bought the little plastic boxes from a pound shop I think and I have separated them into sections face products in one, eye products in another and lip products in the other one.

I also have some makeup on my desk. I have a pot with my favourite lip products, an old jewellery box with my most used eye products and two separate pencil pots one for my pencil eyeliners the other for my makeup brushes. I also have a pot for hairbrushes and combs but that is a separate topic.

This set of drawers is very popular with bloggers and it is from Ikea it is pretty pricey at £85 pounds but it is something you would use for a long time. I have a plastic drawer similar but it only has 3 draws. I don’t use it for storing makeup I use it to store my hair styling products, body sprays and nail polishes but I might start using it for makeup. Obviously 9 draws might seem really big so I found this 3 draws one.

This one is much cheaper as it is only £10 but you can still use it to store your makeup this is especially good if you have a small collection. You could also get dividers and different containers to but in your draws a great website for this is http://www.muji.eu/index.asp They have stores in London, Birmingham, Guildford and inside Selfridges in the Trafford Centre. They have stores in other countries as well and you can order online.

I hope you found this post helpful as always these are just suggestions you don’t have to store your makeup like this in fact if you store yours a different way I’d be interested to hear.
