A Very Late October Empties

Hi everyone,

Please excuse the lateness of this post, I lost my memory card with the pictures on, but it has now been found :)

 

These are the products that I finished in October...

 

 

Soap and Glory Foam Call Shower Gel - £6.50

I love Soap and Glory shower gels and this one is no exception. It smells amazing, kind of fruity, it lathers up really well and is pretty moisturising.

Repurchase? Yes

 

Garnier Intensive 7 Days Body Lotion L-Bifidus and Peach - £4.99

This lotion is described as a gel-cream, and I would agree with this, it is a strange texture, quite light but moisturising and sinks in quickly.

Repurchase? Yes

 

Body Shop Coconut Shower Cream Travel Size - £4 for Full Size

This lathered up really well and was really creamy but the coconut smell was a bit overpowering for me.

Repurchase? No, not in the coconut scent but I loved the formula

 

The Sanctuary Spa Therapies Comforting Night Body Butter Travel Size - £10.25 for Full Size

This is a gorgeous nourishing body butter, it takes a while to sink in to the skin but feels amazing when absorbed. It has a slight cocoa butter scent.

Repurchase? No, it was nice but a bit expensive for me.

 

 

 

Simple Kind To Skin Soothing Facial Toner - £2.99

I love this toner, it made my skin feel really clean and was very gentle.

Repurchase? Yes!

 

Soap and Glory Scrub Your Nose In It Face Scrub and Mask - £7.50

I really like this face scrub, it's got a lovely minty scent which makes my skin feel lovely and fresh. It's also great as a mask.

Repurchase? Yes, already have.

No7 Soft and Soothed Gentle Cleanser Travel Size - £8 for Full Size

There was only enough product left for one use when I rediscovered I had this product. It was ok, did the job, got my make up off. Nothing special, well at least from what I could tell after one use.

Repurchase? No, probably not.

 

Spa Deep Cleansing Facial Wipes - 59p

I really like these cleansing wipes, they smell great and get my make up off. Oh and they're cheap :)

Repurchase? Yes

 

John Frieda Full Repair Conditioner - £5.89

I really like this connditioner, it smells amazing. See my full review here.

 

Classics Nail Polish Remover - 69p

This stuff is great, dirt cheap and gets my polish off :)

Repurchase? Yes

 

Marks and Spencers Butterfly Perfume - £6

This reminds me of DKNY's Blossom perfume, it's gorgeous! Fruity, floral and light.

Repurchase? Yes

 

Boots Moisturising Nail Polish Remover Pads - £1.50

I bought these for when I went camping, they were ok, left a bit of a greasy residue on my nails thought.

Repurchase? No

 

MUA Mascara Shade 1 - £1

This isn't empty but it's really gross so I'm getting rid of it. It's a great brow gel and really cheap!

Repurchase? Yes, already have.

Pamper Me #1

Hi everyone,

I thought I'd start a new little series showing the products I'm using when having a pampering session, The Sunday Girl does this and I just think it's such a lovely idea for a post!

I've been really into pampering sessions recently and have been having one at least once a week. I love to have a nice hot bath, use lots of lovely products, have an aromatic candle burning and watch You Tube videos on my laptop with a drink in my hand. :)

So here are the products I used on Saturday night....

I filled my bath with my favourite bubble bath, Soap & Glory Calm One Calm All Bubble Bath and lit my Yankee Candle in French Vanilla.

I then applied my Soap & Glory Scrub Your Nose In It as a face mask and left it on whilst in the bath. I also tried out my new Champneys Exotic Retreat Body Glow and gave my body a good scrub. This scrub was an absolute bargain for only £1.25 on the Boots clearance shelf!

I felt like pampering my feet a bit and changing my nail polish so I slathered them in Sanctuary Intensive Rescue Heel Balm, which isn't my favourite foot cream but I'm trying to use it up! Then before painting my nails I rubbed No7 Nourishing Nail and Cuticle Cream into my cuticles and then painted my toenails with Essie's Your Hut Or Mine? and then topped it off with Barry M's Rose Quartz glitter top coat.

How often do you pamper youself?

Thanks for reading,

Jess

June Favourites

Hi everyone!

Today I have my June Favourites post for you! :D

Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation
I've really been enjoying this foundation this month. It provides good coverage and makes my skin look nice and dewy.
Urban Decay Marshmallow Sparkling Lickable Body Powder
Ive been on a few nights out this month and have been loving wearing this on my legs and chest area. It smells so amazing!

This Works Go Balmy Lip Balm
This has a lovely subtle strawberry scent and it's texture is similar to a lipgloss so it applies really nicely.

MUA Blusher Shade 2

This blusher has great pigmentation but it's still easy to be heavy handed with it and not get in a mess. I love how this shade flatters my skin tone, and it only cost me £1!

The Sanctuary Hand Cream

I've kept this in my handbag this month and I love it, it has a gorgeous gingery scent which is nice and uplifting.

Rimmel Nail Tip Whitener Nail Polish
This is awesome! The brush is just fantastic, using this was the first time I've ever been able to give myself a neat french manicure. Totally worth buying.

Swizzels Matlow Double Dip Cherry Flavour Lip Balm
I got this lipbalm in a gift set last Christmas and it's great, it's very moisturising and smells yummy!

Avene Soothing Hydrating Serum
This stuff is really nice, it's the first facial serum that I've tried and I'm a fan. I feel that it really makes a difference to the texture of my skin, it makes it lovely and smooth.

Thanks for reading,
Jess
