Empties/Products I have used up #2

Saturday, August 25, 2012











Another empties post for you guys!

Clynol Shampoo - I got this in a Glossybox and really loved the shampoo. It's a shame it's only a sample size as it only lasted for two washes! The problem of having long hair! I might considering repurchasing but it is rather expensive for a shampoo!

Botanicals Rose and Camelia Skin Tonic - I was sent this from the lovely people at Botanicals and I fell in love with it. It was so good on my skin! It's such a shame it ran out. I do have this on my repurchase list! So roll on payday!

Aussie Miracle Moist Shampoo - I got this on offer for a £1 in Asda and wanted to try it out. I really loved the shampoo and think its great on long hair. I probably will repurchase this again at some point!

Gliss Conditioner - I brought this from poundland and I was really impressed the conditioner is really rich and perfect for my dry ends. I need to pick up some more of this!

Noble Isle Shower Gel - I adore this shower gel! I got this sample in Glossybox and it's amazing. Sadly it costs £20 a bottle! So I won't be repurchasing this myself, however if someone wants to buy it for me! I'd be more than happy!!

Soft and Gentle Deodorant - I've had this kicking around for a while and mainly used when I stayed round mr swan's. I won't be repurchasing this one, not because I don't like it I just tend to settle for what's on offer at the time.

Bourjois 123 Perfect Foundation - I brought this after a few recommendations. And I did enjoy using it. However I found it to be a bit dewy for my oily/combo skin. So I didn't repurchase this. I brought one very similar but for oily skin. I'll be doing a full review on that soon!

Elizabeth Arden Visible Difference Skin Balancing lotion - Another sample in Glossybox! I did really enjoy this! I love Elizabeth Arden skincare I don't think you can beat it. I loved using this before I applied my foundation it worked in really well on my skin!

L'Occitane Cherry Blossom Shower Gel - I got this in my L'Occitane goody bag and I love the scent. I really want the Eau De Parfum in it! I won't be repurchasing as I have so many shower gels at the minute I should use those ones up first!

Botanicals Clay Mask - The best face mask! It leaves my skin feeling plumped and hydrated! And perfect for my sometimes sensitive skin! I swear by this and this is also on my wishlist come payday!

July Glossybox Review!

Monday, August 06, 2012


A little late but I hadn't tried out all the products and didn't want to post about it until I had. This months Glossybox was fantastic. I loved every single product and I'm super impressed!


The first product was the HD Brows Eye & Brow Palette RRP £19.95 - this was a full size product too which was amazing. I had been wanting to try an HD brow palette for a while now but didn't want to splurge on it in case I didn't like it. I love it I swear by this now and my brows look filled but natural. I use the pale neutral colour on my eyelids to just smooth them over!


The second product was the Clynol Salon Exclusive Enrich Colour Shampoo RRP £9.35  - I loved this product too. I love trying shampoo's and you get results instantly. My hair loved this, it added some moisture to my dry hair, it also cleaned it well. I would probably pay for a full size as I enjoyed it but shampoo is shampoo and I'm going to keep trying lots of different ones for now!


The next product was the MONU Golden Glow RRP £23.00 - I'm not a major fan of fake tan but this worked nicely. It claims to work in 3 - 5 hours and it does. It is gradual tan to so no orange streaks in sight. I did enjoy using but I would buy it. Like I said I'm not too fussed by fake tan. I've given this to my mum to use!


The next product was the Jelly Pong Pong Lip Frosting RRP £10 - I enjoyed this so much! It looks great and smells good enough to eat. I really enjoyed this. I am going to be looking at the range online to see what else they stock. This colour is a pinky red. It looks a lot darker when you squeeze it out than it does on your lips. But it doesn't look to tacky, which is great!


The last product was the Elizabeth Arden Visible Difference Skin Balancing Lotion SPF 15 RRP £32 - I really enjoyed this too. I love how this makes my skin feel. I use this as a base before I apply my make up. I loved my eight hour cream so I knew that this would be a fantastic product. I probably won;t be buying it for myself as it is a little pricey but I do love it so if you want to buy it for me! You can!!!


There was a bonus sample too of the Elizabeth Arden Visible Difference Skin Balancing range. I haven't tried these out yet but they are very similar to the lotion. The samples include and exfoliater, a serum and another sample of the lotion!

Overall I really enjoyed this box! It was amazing and I've used all the products this month. Each one has found it's place in my collection (expect the tan, mum can have that!).
