~ A Bunch of Empties ~

Sorry for my irregular postings on here for the past couple of months, i've been busy on enjoying my summer holiday and now i am settling into my postgraduate course. Nonetheless, i have continued trying out new skincare and make-up products ready to write reviews on. Over the past month i have used up a fair few products and i enjoyed using some of these but not so much others, although i didn't want to waste the remainder of the products so i felt obliged to finish it up. So this post i will just summarise briefly what products i have used up and my opinions on them.

ORIGINS A perfect world Antioxident cleanser with white tea: This took me ages to use up (Approximately half a year if i remember correctly) seeing that you get so much product in this and a little goes a long way. I really love the smell of this as it is very refreshing and leaves your skin feeling soft without stripping away all the moisture. Repurchase? No

NIVEA daily essentials oil free moisturising day cream: Lasted quite a while (Approx. 2 months) and its a pleasant consistency to work with in the morning. Non-greasy which i am happy about and absorbed into the skin effortlessly. However, i do feel that it makes me more shiny throughout the day probably due to the extra moisture and my natural oils seeping through. Lovely light moisturiser, but i prefer moisturisers with more of a mattifying component. Repurchase? No

Liz Earle instant boost skin tonic: Received this in a set i bought from Liz earle as a starter package for oily-combination skin. Just your ordinary toner and i didn't find it to be anything amazing. The bottle/container was quite a hassle to get the product out of because the lid was small and fiddly which lead to spilling the product easily when accidentally knocked. Didn't feel gentle enough for my liking and i am not too keen on the smell. Repurchase? No

Yankee Candle Jar - Christmas cookie: This candle has been lying about since christmas and i loved this so much that i have repurchased a large jar to burn over the upcoming months. I think i prefer this tumbler form because i find that it burns nicely and doesn't leave any horrible residue on the sides. Cannot wait until christmas so i can use this and get myself into the festive mood. Repurchase? Yes

MAC gentle eye and lip make-up remover: When i initially purchased this, i thought it was amazing and a must have for anybody. It removed all my waterproof eye make up wonderfully and it was gentle enough for my sensitive skin. However, i discovered a much cheaper alternative which is the Garnier 2in1 make-up remover so this was put aside for a while until last month when i finally finished the product so i can get a 'back to mac' lipstick sooner. Repurchase: No

Garnier soothing eye make-up remover: This is such a gentle eye make up remover and does its job very well for when i decide i want a natural eye make up look and give waterproof mascara a miss. I really like the size of this because its really easy to take it with me while travelling and it is very easy to dispense the product onto cotton pads. Repurchase? No

The Body shop Vitamin E facial wash: I really loved this cleanser and i find that it has improved the condition of my skin. It is very affordable and i enjoy the consistency of this aswell as the scent. Further Review here Repurchase? Yes

The Body shop seaweed pore-cleansing facial exfoliator: A very gentle exfoliator and i love how lightweight it is and not too abrasive for the skin. Left my skin feeling very refreshed and soft. I definitely recommend this to people with sensitive and dull skin.  Further Review here Repurchase? Yes
