March/April Empties
11:00
Hello everybody! Today I bring to you a well overdue empties post as since being on/completing my beauty buying ban I seem to have finished up a whole bunch of products! For those that haven't heard of Empties posts, basically I show you photographs of empty containers and give you my thoughts on the products now I have finished them.
Onto the empties...
Boots Essentials Cucumber Eye Makeup Remover Gel - REVIEW HERE
I used to love this as it seemed to remove everything without irritating my eyes but I found that I woke up the next day when using this with panda eyes which defeats the purpose of this. I much prefer my Amie Extra Gentle Eye Make Up Remover.
Pure Revitalising Cleanser - REVIEW HERE
This worked, to an extent, to remove my makeup however I found that my skin soon started to dislike this and it would sting and get irritated everytime I used it and for that reason I will not be repurchasing
Clarins Multi Active Night
I actually really liked this. Although I don't need an anti-ageing cream at 16 I found this really moisturising and soothing on my skin and definitely helped my dry skin.
Garnier Dark Spot Corrector - REVIEW HERE
I really liked this moisturiser. It was lightweight but still provided enough moisture for my skin so I didn't have dry patches. It also lasted for ages.
Skinetica - REVIEW HERE
I really enjoyed using this so was glad when I found out that I had won Shonas (@FreshBeautyxox) blog giveaway. This is really effective at removing makeup without leaving your skin irritated and red. I highly recommend this.
Soap and Glory Girligo Body Moisturising Mist
I loved this; it made moisturising much more convenient and this smells lush too! I highly recommend it.
Vaseline Active Fresh
This lasted for ages and worked quite well but I still prefer my Garnier deodorants
Bath and Body Works Hand Gel - REVIEW HERE
I love BABW Hand Gels however I did find this scent very overpowering. Although I would buy the hand gels again I wouldn't buy this scent.
BENEFIT Bad Gal Lash
Despite the numerous raves from bloggers, I could not get along with this. It didn't seem to do much to my lashes, was clumpy and transferred to under my eyes, it was also a pain to remove. I shall not be wasting my money on this again.
EOS Lemon Sorbet Lip Balm - REVIEW HERE -
I loved this lip balm. It was creamy, smelt/tasted great, lasted for ages on the lips and the packaging makes for easy application.
BALMI Lip Balm - REVIEW HERE
This is another lipbalm that I love. These are very creamy, creamier than the EOS, smell great and, again, last on the lips.
NATURAL Collection Eyeshadow Duo (Mink/Sable) -REVIEW HERE
Although this is/was an eyeshadow duo I loved using this on my cheeks. I loved using this as it added a very natural flush/contour to my cheeks and it is dirt cheap too!
RIMMEL Blusher
This was a blusher that I have depotted from a christmas set. The colour is very pigmented so you only need a light hand. I don't think the colour is available anymore though so I shan't be repurchasing.
Woah that was a long post! I hope you enjoyed reading it and I hope you check out some of the reviews as there are some gems here!

Onto the empties...
Boots Sensitive Expert Shampoo
Although the is supposed to be good for sensitive scalps I still found that my scalp was irritated with this and I found my hair was tangled when using this. I won't be buying this again
Head and Shoulders Sensitive Scalp Care - REVIEW HERE
I dedicated a whole post (Not a Rave Review) to this. Basically it says its for sensitive scalps but this makes your scalp worse and I would not recommend it even for 'normal' scalps.
Boots Essentials Cucumber Eye Makeup Remover Gel - REVIEW HERE

Tesco Vitamin E Hand and Nail Cream
This has a nice natural scent and does provide moisture without being overly greasy however I have found other hand creams that are much more moisturising so I probably won't be buying this again.
This lasted for ages and worked quite well but I still prefer my Garnier deodorants
Bath and Body Works Hand Gel - REVIEW HERE
I love BABW Hand Gels however I did find this scent very overpowering. Although I would buy the hand gels again I wouldn't buy this scent.

I love Soap and Glory Girligo I have to avoid going past it in Boots because I can't resist a spritz and then I have to buy a new one! OOPS! Have you tried Mist You Madly?
