Empties | July 2017

I've been meaning to get this post up for a while now but I wanted to wait until I had a good round up of products. I'm not sure why but it takes me so long to use up a product unless it's something like shampoo or shower gel. I've seen some bloggers do empties posts every other month and it always amazes me! Today's post is very skincare heavy but there are some hair and body bits as well! 

Skincare

Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish 
I was so surprised that I managed to finish two 150ml bottles of C&P in just 6 months but in a way, I'm not because Hubby and I use it all the time. I used up two Limited Editions but I'm now back to using the original which will always be my favourite.

Pixi Glow Tonic
This is such an amazing exfoliating toner and I already have a new one on the go. It contains 5% Glycolic Acid, Ginseng and Aloe Vera which work to resurface and brighten the skin.

Formula 10.0.6 Best Face Forward Daily Foaming Cleanser
I was kindly sent this from the brand last October-ish and I instantly loved it. Whilst it's not something I would use every day, I think it's a great 'shower cleanser'. It leaves the skin feeling really soft and clean and it smells nice and fruity. 

La Roche Posay Serozinc Spray
There's not much to say about this other than I love it and will always repurchase it. It's a Zinc Sulfate spray which helps to calm the skin as well as fight breakouts. It's a must have for everyone!

Sarah Chapman Skinesis Ultimate Cleanse
I really enjoyed using this cleanser and I will definitely pick it up again at some point. It's a beautiful cleansing balm, quite similar to the EH Moringa Balm, just a bit thicker. It spreads over the skin like a dream and my skin always looks and feels so healthy and nourished after using it.

Superdrug Simply Pure Hydrating Serum
I didn't realise how much I love this stuff until I ran out and didn't have a backup. Whenever my skin is dry, irritated, sensitive, you name it, this knows just how to fix it. Straight after applying it my skin feels soft, nourished and really well moisturised but not in a greasy way. It's a lovely semi-thick texture and it works beautifully under makeup. 

I also used up - 
More Superdrug serum
Garnier Moisture Bomb Tissue Mask for Dry Skin
Garnier Pure Active Daily Deep Pore Scrub
Boots Botanics 100% Rosewater Spritz

Haircare

L'Oreal Elvive Fibrology Shampoo
I've used up two bottles of this and although it did work well for me in the beginning, I probably won't repurchase it again. It's a bit too thick for my fine hair and it almost leaves a coating which I can't stand.

VO5 Heat Protect Spray
I'm already onto my third bottle of this stuff and I know it's quite boring but it's one of those products that just does what it says on the tin. It smells nice, protects my hair and makes it feel lovely and soft. Plus it's really affordable!

Alberto Balsam Blends Smooth & Sleek Conditioner
I first heard about this range from Caroline Hirons but I prefer this scent to the one she normally talks about. I don't even know how many of these I've gone though. My hair is so soft and shiny after using it and the gorgeous Argan Oil and Jasmine Flower scent last all day. 

Body

The Body Shop Cocoa Butter Body Butter
I'm so proud of myself for finishing a full tub of body butter. I'm very lazy when it comes to moisturising my body and a lot of the time my skin get's irritated with a lot of creams/lotions, but this was gorgeous and I loved the soft, comforting scent. 

Palmolive Naturals Milk & Honey Shower Cream
I've been using this since I was little and it's always what I go back to if I'm having an issue with something else. It's so creamy and it and always leaves me feeling really clean and smelling nice. 

Ted Baker Blush Mini Body Spray 
I've just finished my first bottle of this and I'm already working my way through a second. It's such a gorgeous, light mist and I love keeping it in my bag so I can top up my scent throughout the day. If you like floral, sweet scents, I would definitely check this out!

I really hope you enjoyed my first ever empties post! What products have you used up recently?
