I'm terrible when it comes to finishing products, especially in a short amount of time. Of course, things like shampoos and shower gels are an exception as I use them every day but makeup and skincare always takes a lot longer to make its way into my empties bag. I've been hoarding these products for a good couple of months and I think it's finally time I showed you what I've used up!

Makeup

L'Oreal Paris Miss Baby Roll Mascara
I wasn't blessed with long fluttery eyelashes so I love using this mascara as it's one of the only ones I've found to give serious volume and thickness without being clumpy! 

Primark PS Primer Water
I've already got five backups of this so it's pretty clear how much I love it. This is a lovely hydrating primer that softens the skin and helps foundation and concealer go on like a dream. It's also great if you're looking a bit powdery and you need something to help mesh everything together. 

Eyeko Brow Gel
I got this sample in a magazine ages ago (longer than I care to admit) and I've pretty much destroyed it. There's just something about this brow gel that looks super natural and helps keep every hair in place without being stiff or crunchy. I will definitely be purchasing a full size! 

Skincare

Origins Ginzing Energy Boosting Moisturiser
This is one of the only moisturisers I loved so much that I had to repurchase it. It's such a lovely gel formula that feels incredibly hydrating and soothing on the skin. The Ginseng and Coffee Bean give a gorgeous glow that really perks up the face, especially in the morning! Makeup applies beautifully over the top and the citrusy smell always puts me in a good mood. 

Pixi Beauty Sleep Cream 
This is another product that I loved and used until the very end. It's a rich night cream that leaves the skin beautifully soft and plump without being greasy or clogging pores. A little goes a long way and the Lavender fragrance always makes me feel nice and relaxed.

Yes To Coconuts Cream Cleanser
I really enjoyed this cleanser and I would definitely repurchase it in the future. It's perfect if you want something light and gentle that can be used both AM and PM. It leaves the skin beautifully clean but not dry or stripped. 

The Body Shop Vitamin C Face Spritz
I loved using this last year during the hotter months. It's super refreshing and leaves a lovely layer of hydration and glow on the skin. It smells amazing too! 

The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5
I actually really enjoyed this serum and I will definitely be repurchasing it. The main reason I liked it was because it's a very thin formula that doesn't feel really thick or gloopy. I also noticed a big improvement in the overall texture of my skin when I used this so it's a big thumbs up from me! 

Mario Badescu Drying Lotion 
Although this is pricey for the amount of product you get, it actually lasted me a really long time. It's a spot treatment formulated with Salicylic Acid and Calamine which work to reduce the size and inflammation of blemishes overnight. I'll definitely be picking up a new one next time I visit an Urban Outfitters

Pixi Hydrating Milky Mist 
I really need to get another bottle of this stuff. It's probably my favourite mist for layering moisture between products. I definitely prefer it to the Glow Mist!

Hair

Herbal Essences Daily Detox Green Herbs & Mint Shampoo*
You all know how much I love Herbal shampoos. They're the best ones I've found for cleaning my hair thoroughly without leaving it feeling stripped or weighed down. This is one of my favourite scents I've tried so far as the mint is really uplifting and refreshing. 

Garnier Ultimate Blends Maple Healer Conditioner
I can't explain how good this product smells. If you love warm, sweet scents then you've got to check out this range! It's a really rich and buttery conditioner but it still washes out properly which is a must for me! My hair always feels so soft and shiny after using this and it's definitely helped keep my hair healthy during the Winter months. 

Grow Gorgeous Full Bodied Volumising Shampoo*
I'm slightly obsessed with this brand. Literally, everything I've tried from them I've loved, especially this shampoo! It does a great job of creating a lot of air between the hair strands making it feel a lot more lifted and voluminous without weighing it down. It's super luxurious and it smells ah-mazing

Lee Stafford Coco Loco Coconut Heat Protection Mist
I really enjoyed using this mist. It smells delicious (obvs) and it conditions and protects the hair without making it greasy or sticky. 

Body

Soap & Glory Shower Gel | Clean On Me & Sugar Crush
When it comes to shower-time, you can't go wrong with a bit of S&P. The Clean On Me scent will always be my favourite but I love switching to Sugar Crush in the Summer for a nice zingy twist. 

Superdrug Mix & Fizz Bath & Shower Gel | Pink Fizz
I think I've found my new favourite shower gel. I cannot explain how good this stuff smells. It's like showering in a bottle of pink bubbly! It lathers up beautifully and it leaves me feeling super clean and soft. I'm definitely going back for the other scents! 

Dolly Mixtures Chocolate Orange Shower Gel
When Poofie says you need to go and buy a product, I don't question it, I just do it. This stuff is like chocolate orange on steroids. It's only £1 from Poundland and it leaves me feeling really clean and smelling delicious. I already have two back-ups!
