My first ever empties!
So, I'm moving house in just less than two weeks and I'm trying to use up as many products as possible so I have to pack less! It also means I get to treat myself to a load of new things when we finally move into our new place ;)
So let's get this ball rolling! Here are most of the things I finished up during September...
Herbal Essences Beautiful Ends Shampoo
Okay, we're off to a bad start. I was cleaning the shower one day and once I finished I put the little shelf back up on the wall and apparently I did it wrong, because a few hours later I noticed everything lying on the shower floor surrounded by deliciously smelling pink goo. The cap broke and the entire contents was on my shower floor. So no, I didn't use this up. But it is technically empty, so it counts, right?
I've got the conditioner in my shower at the moment, and I'm really liking that, if that's any consolation!
John Frieda Sheer Blonde Colour Renew Tone Correcting Shampoo
I purchased this to use on my journey to becoming a blonde. My ends were so brassy and I needed something that worked wonders. This didn't do everything I needed it to do but it certainly helped a little. I used this twice a week and people were constantly asking me if I had my hair done or if I've had it highlighted again. Must have been doing something then!
John Frieda Sheer Blonde Colour Renew Tone Correcting Conditioner
I bought this just so that I'd have the matching set that I'd use together. I don't believe it had any effect on the colour of my hair, although it did do an adequate job at conditioning it. If I were to repurchase the shampoo again, I probably wouldn't get this too.
Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Reconstructor
If you don't have one of these in your bathroom at the moment, go out and get one. Right away. Seriously, I can't knock this product. It's cheap, its easily accessible, it smells incredible (like bubblegum!), and it conditions your hair like no other. Obviously going to be picking another one of these up next time I'm at Asda.
Head and Shoulders Hydrating Smooth & Silky Conditioner
I bought this a little while ago when my scalp was particularly sensitive and have only just got round to finishing it off. It's nothing out of the ordinary, just a regular conditioner that's not going to irritate your sensitive skin.
Be warned though, I've heard that H&S is notorious for fading your hair colour (not your natural colour, of course).
L'Oreal Ever Pure Shampoo & Conditioner
I received these in the post and was excited to try them as I'd never tried sulphate free hair care before. Unfortunately these only only provided one use so I can't comment too much. I am interested in trying more sulphate free products though.
Etat Pur B23 & B26
The French skincare company were giving away samples of their face moisturisers from their Facebook page. You were able to select 2 out of 5 and these were the 2 I chose. I enjoyed using them, and after looking through their website, I really want to try out a few more of their products.
Simple Soothing Facial Toner
I don't always use a toner, but I had this in my cupboard so I used it up. I can't say it made a difference to my skin, and since I've stopped using it, I can't say I've missed it. The only benefit I can think of is how it sometimes removed any makeup my cleanser might have missed. However I'm pretty sure it isn't its prime purpose.
Johnson Face Care Night Cream
I really loved this cream! First of all, it had a really lovely pearlescent colour to it. I know that shouldn't be important, especially for a night cream, but it's the little things! Secondly it was relatively thing for a night cream, which meant that it soaked in really quickly but moisturised really well.
Garnier Pure Deep Clean Cream Wash
I didn't particularly enjoy this product. It had an odd scent which I didn't favour, but I pursued. It stayed in my shower and eventually I used it all up.
Nivea SOS Relief Body Lotion
I honestly can't remember buying this, but I found it in my cupboard and it had about enough left to do my legs. So I done my legs and that was that. It was neither here nor there really. I didn't notice any instant relief, not that I needed any, but my legs did feel kind of soft for a short while afterwards.
Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Scrub
I haven't heard a lot of people talk about this scrub and I really don't know why. It smells delicious (sweet and citrusy) and is so dense and gritty that it does an amazing job at exfoliating. It's also packed with oils so it doesn't leave your skin dry and craving moisture afterwards.
Garnier Body Intensive 7 Days Soothing Lotion
I've heard Miss Budget Beauty rave about this and I seriously know why. It's perfect for people like me who are too lazy to use body lotion every day. It keeps my skin feeling soft for days! If you're a slacker like me then I defiantly recommend you pick this up.
Phew. That was a lengthy one. Hopefully my next empties post is quite as long as I won't be pushed against time to finish things up!
