Empties | Quick Product Reviews

Hello!

After rounding up a few finished products, I thought i'd give you an empties post! There isn't too much here as I don't tend to use up products that quickly and I wouldn't want this post to be too lengthy or boring by including unnecessary products! Without further ado I'll start here..


Garnier Moisture Match in Shine Be Gone.
I love this moisturiser, it has got to be my favourite! It's a perfect texture for me and locks in the hydration for 24 hours and my skin feels feather-like- i'm not kidding! I don't necessarily think this leaves my skin mattified but I do not look like a grease-ball once used so I can't complain! I purchased the one with SPF in for protection over the warmer months and I could not wait to repurchase this again, although the SPF one wasn't bad.


Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water.
Another Garnier product, I've discovered that my skin really gets on with Garnier so i'll definitely continue to try their products. This was no exception, I was so impressed with how well this dissolved my makeup and left my skin feeling clear of makeup and cleansed, although you can use this without washing the product off I still follow it up with a cleanser of which you'll see in this empties post. Overall, I can't fault it and it's very affordable! 


Collection Lasting Perfection concealer.
Do I need to say anymore? A concealer that is constantly raved about and I can see why! This covers pretty much all of my blemishes and dark under eyes! This is perfect for blemishes and although it covers dark circles it does tend to crease a little after a long while. I'm yet to find the perfect concealer for under eyes though so this is doing the job for now and I'll repurchase again and again!


Soap and Glory Scub of your Life.
Before I had the full-size of this and then a mini, I didn't really use body scrubs- oops! But i'll definitely be repurchasing this as it made my skin so smooth ready for moisturising and it smells great! I've seen there is a scrub which is lime scented, I may have to give that one a go too!


Garnier PureActive Foam Wash.
I'm sure you've seen this mentioned here on my blog before but if not you can see a review here. This is a great wash for the morning as it has quite a strong scent so definitely wakes you up! I find this is great for when I have more blemishes as it gives such a deep cleanse and it seems to reduce the redness and get rid of them quicker. This is another product i'll be buying again!

Lush Tea Tree Toner Water. (For some reason the picture didn't transport, but it can be seen above or below)
After having a few more blemishes I decided to opt for this to not only refresh my face but as it contains Tea Tree will act as an anti-bacterial, keeping my skin refreshed and cleansed at the same time. I really enjoyed using this product, especially during the warmer months as you get a little sweaty, disgusting I know but it happens to us all! My only bug bare with this is that as it is natural it doesn't last a very long time so i'm glad I purchased the smaller bottle of this, although I think i'll repurchase this when I next pop into Lush!


That's all of my empties done and dusted! I love seeing empties post as it gives an insight of whether somebody actually enjoyed using the product and to see whether they'd actually repurchase it, so I hope you liked this post! Let me know if you'd like to see my next batch of empties and i'll be sure to save them up for a post!

Until next time,

The Sunday Edit #4

Hello!
So i'm back after a little break from blogging, this is my first post of the week whereas I would usually have posted 1 or 2 before this- but if I'm honest this week I haven't really been feeling like blogging, I've felt a little stressed and just not with it. But I'm trying to keep the Sunday Edit going, so here I am updating you on the week I've had, if i'm honest I haven't done a whole lot!

This week started with me having a motive, where has that been for the past 3 weeks I've had off college?!
As you may of seen on my Summer Wishlist is that one thing i'd like to accomplish this summer is to stop procrastinating and do the work I've been set to do over summer, that I did! I woke up early and got the work out of the way within an hour, so pleased! I then had nothing planned for the rest of the day so I thought I'd better make it productive so, I cleaned my room, cleaned downstairs and got the washing done as my mum hasn't been home all week- I felt like a proper housewife, haha!
My makeup brushes were also awaiting a clean after a short while so that's what I got done, while watching the Little Mermaid which I haven't done since I was about 7, and I loved every minute of it!

Tuesday- In all honesty I actually can't remember what I got up to on Tuesday, I think this was the day I wasn't feeling to great as I felt exhausted so I tried to sleep throughout the day and lets just say it didn't happen! I was supposed to be meeting my older sister to go food shopping as my mum hasn't been home all week like I said, that didn't happen. Pizza happened instead, oops! Just after I started working out too, yes that's right- i'm using the app PumpUp if you're wondering!

Again I didn't get up to much on Wednesday, I was supposed to go food shopping with my sister for the week but again it didn't happen. I had work, which was strange as I hadn't worked a Wednesday night before but I'm sure you don't want to know about that so!

Thursday is a little more exciting for you, this was the day of strikes so my sister was off work which meant I could actually do something. We were hoping for a lie-in but woke up super early, so we went for an early morning shop and I'm on a spending ban so it wasn't too fun for me, but even still window-shopping was enough to fulfill my need. I went into Primark to exchange my T-Bar shoes in nude for a smaller size, they didn't have them so instead I saved myself £12 which i'm not over the moon with as I really wanted them shoes! The weather was pretty good on Thursday, of course I wasn't appropriately dressed so I was boiling so we came home as I was starting to feel a tad ill. If you don't already know my sister is moving out very soon so I helped her to clear out, of course obtaining a few new items!
She said I could go and view the new house she's moving into with a couple of friends so that's what we did, I am so pleased for hear and very jealous too!

99p each- B&M Bargains

We finally went shopping, although there was only 2 days left we'd have to cook. I picked up some really cute pots in the perfect colours to match my room, which you can see here. We also decided to cook pasta bolognese which was honestly amazing!

Again like every weekend I am working, Friday and Saturday but this week Sunday evening too because of the world cup! I'm not even a huge fan of football but I'm not looking forward to missing the final as my brothers have a bet on, I'm not even sure who they've bet to win but they've done so well up to here!
I also received an order this weekend that I purchased with my FeaturePoints rewards, I got a Toni&Guy curling wand which I will be doing a blog post on very soon! And that's pretty much been my week! So that's all for now, i'll be back with another blog post very soon this week!

Until next time,
