Hair Empties
Hair Empties | Coconut & Sweet Almond Intensive Conditioner, Coconut & Sweet Almond Shampoo, Tresemme Split Remedy Conditioner, Lush Retread Conditioner,  Live Colour XXL Luminance Hair Dye in L76 Ultra Violet, Nice & Easy Colour Protect Gloss Conditioner.
Superdrug Coconut & Sweet Almond Intensive Conditioner 
This is one of the best conditioners I've ever used, and I will repurcahse it until I can't any longer. It's super thick, so can work as a mask to. It smells great, and it really works. It makes my hair soft, and is really cheap. 
 
Superdrug Coconut & Sweet Almond Shampoo 
This is a great shampoo, and on about £1. It's not the best I've ever used, but it smells amazing and lathers up really well. It doesn't dry out my hair which I love, and it doesn't make my colored hair fade out quicker than normal like some other shampoos can. 

Schwarzkopf Colour Live XXL Luminance in L76 Ultra Violet 
This is the hair dye I'm using at the moment. It's okay. It makes my hair purple, which is what I'm looking for but it's not the best I've ever tried. It doesn't lighten my hair quite like it says it will, but it works well enough. I might try something else next time. 

Tresemme Split Remedy Conditioner 
I adore this range, it's one of the best drugstore ranges that I've used. It really makes my hair feel soft, and healthier. The conditioner, mask and serum are amazing, and I'll be repurchasing this soon. 

Lush Retread Conditioner
This was okay. It wasn't the best, and I wouldn't buy it again because 1) I didn't like the smell and 2) it's not worth the price in my opinion. It worked well enough for days when my hair wasn't as dry as normal, but not good enough for my dry hair to really get any benefits from. 
 
Nice & Easy Colour Seal Conditioner for Red Hair 
I always have a few of these lying around because the conditioner they give me in hair dye never feel like enough for my hair. They say they are meant to last a few used but I can't even get one full use out of the box dye ones, so I use this to  top it up. It works just as well and they are only 99p each. 
 
Body Care Empties
Body Care Empties | St Ives Elements Microderm Abrasion Scrub, Lush Rub Rub Rub Shower Scrub, Oh Lola Shower Gel & T Tree Foot Wash
St Ives Elements Microderm Abrasion Face Scrub 
I only got this because it was on sale, and I don't think I wold get it again. I liked the texture to some extent but it just wasn't scrubby enough for me. It was a nice change from the normal apricot St Ives scrub, but I think I'll try something else next time. 
 

Lush Rub Rub Rub Shower Scrub 
This is great, it really gives you a good scrub but I hate the smell. It's the only reason I wouldn't buy it again because I used it for everything. I used it before shaving, tanning and even in my hair. 

Oh Lola Shower Gel
There isn't much to say on this. It worked like any other shower gel would. The smell was nice when I was using this, but it didn't last any longer than any other shower gel. 
 
T Tree Foot Wash 
This was just a peppermint smelling wash. I used it on my feet, but it did no more than shower gel does when washing my feet. 
Makeup Empties
Makeup Empties | Lacura Concealer Pen, Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation, Stila Smudge Stick in Moray, Benefit They're Real & Sleek Twist Up Eye Pencil in Noir.
Lacura Beauty Concealer Pen 
I love this. It worked really well as an under eye concealer, and it was light enough for my skin tone. They have a pink tone or yellow tone to suit you, and it doesn't crease. It ran out quicker than some, but it's a lot cheaper than some though so it works out well either way. 
 
Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation in True Ivory 
I love this, just like everyone else. It works well for my dry skin, lasts ages and blends really well. I will have to get a lighter shade next time, but I would pick it up again. 

Benefit They're Real Mascara 
I don't think I need to say much on this because everyone has something to say on it. I love it, but it's a little to expensive for me. I think I'll stick with my drugstore mascaras for now, but I would get this on sale if it were ever on offer. It curls, volumises and lengthens and doesn't move all day. It's actually a total bitch to get off. 
 
Sleek Twist Up Eye Pencil in Noir 
The fact that I've used this makes me want to cry a little. This is my all time favourite black liner, and it's discontinued. I like the new liners sleek came out with but this is better. You don't need a sharpner (I always loose mine) and it's really black. It lasts a decent amount of time on my water line and doesn't end up any where that I don't want it to. 
 
Stila Smudge Stick in Moray 
I got this is a beauty box, and love it. I think, when I have some money, I will pick up the black or brown in this. I love the formula, the lasting power and the fact it's a twist up pencil. It lasts ages on the lid, lower lash line and waterlines. It's nicely pigmented, and just the right amount of creamyness. 


Skincare Empties
Skincare Empties | Soap and Glory No Blogs Allowed, Tea Tree Foam Face Wash, Simple Refreshing Face Wash, Clarisonic Nourishing Care Cleanser & Nivea Daily Essentials Day Cream
Soap and Glory No Clogs Allowed Face Mask 
I love this mask, and have already got a back up. I love this more than I can say. It's the only mask that works for every aspect of my skin. It helps unclog my pores, draws out impurities and leaves my skin feeling lovely. It's brilliant, and I can say not more than that. Go try it. 
 
Tea Tree Foam Facial Wash 
I wasn't impressed with this, so just used it for the sake a using it. I didn't feel like it left my skin clean enough for my liking, and it stung like a bitch if it got on any sensitive areas or blemishes. I wouldn't use this again, but the other bits from this range are good. I love the moisturizer. 
  
Simple Refreshing Face Wash 
This is the best bog standard face wash. It has not frills or anything like that but it leaves the skin feeling nice and clean, and it's great for all skin types. If I ever need to go back to basics to sort my skin out, this is what I reach for. 
 
Clarisonic Nourishing Care Cleanser
I don't think there is anything special about this. I got in a beauty box and I'm glad I didn't pay for it. Maybe you need to use it with a clarisonic, but without one this just really doesn't do anything special. 
 
Nivea Daily Essentials Day Cream 
If you have dry skin, give this a go. It's a super thick, really moisturizing cream. It won't be good for people with oily/combo skin because it is so thick, but for my dry skin buddies this is great for dry patches that makeup can cling to, and it works as a great night cream too if you find it to intense for the day. 

Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed.

  1. Woah, that's a lot of empties!
    I'm about to try that hair dye... I think.. Haven't decided yet. *gulp* Haha.
    I have the stila eyeliner but mine is broke so no idea if I like it or not!
    Also got that St ives on sale but it's just sitting there.. I find it hard to get off my face and it's so fine! I don't feel like it does anything.
