Empties #3

Another Empties post for you lovelies today! I feel like it has been ages since I have done one of these - and I'm sure since then I've been through a good few products but here are a few I've saved to share with you all... because I love them!
Looking at these now I think they have all definitely been featured or mentioned on A Yellow Brick Blog at some point in the past 6 months... I hope this doesn't bother you lovely people! (Just proof that I really do love them really!)
1. Nutrasome Thickening Shampoo
This shampoo was mentioned in my January Favs and I just finished the bottle last week! Although like I said there, the smell is a little masculine - this stuff has actually worked. Since writing my Jan Favs I have actually been to my hairdresser and she even commented on how thick my hair was feeling compared to the last time she saw me! I think I'll definitely be re-purchasing this stuff! I got it from Boots and I think it was about £8.19!

2. Nivea Express Hydration Primer
This stuff is a god send. I so so glad I picked it up last year! I use this every morning after using my Liz Earl Skin Tonic. It gives a great base for make-up (although most day I do wear a simple primer as well as this stuff!) and keeps my skin feeling smooth and hydrated without getting clogged up or greasy. I already have another one of these on the go - I highly recommend this, it is a fab daily moisturiser and under £5! 

3. Indeed Labs Hydraluron 
Another hydrating product? Why yes it is! I gave into the hydra-hype and coughed up the £20ish it is for this little tube! But I have to say I am glad that I did - this stuff made my skin feel smooth, silky and plump aswell as getting rid of the couple of dry patches that randomly seemed to appear this winter. Right now I'm, of course, on a spending ban, (sad times) so I can't afford to buy a replacement tube - but maybe somewhen (that's an Isle Of Wight word that you guys have probably never heard!) in the near future U'll be able to invest again!

4. Taylor by Taylor Swift Perfume
I'm a huge Swiftie - duh! So obviously I own this! I love it and it probably took me about 5months to use this 30ml bottle (I'm always changing up my perfumes!) so I bought another one in the xmas sales (which you probably saw in my Boots haul - total bargain) so don't worry I'm not without!

5. Seventeen Miracle Matte Pressed Powder
Previously I've never been one for powders - but putting one over the top of my liquid foundation to set it has become an everyday occurrence now. I love the finish it gives my skin and being a matte powder this helps banish any unwanted shine I may have! It takes alot for me to hit pan with products as I change them up alot so this is proof that I am addicted - I need to buy a new one asap, my daily routine wouldn't be the same without it!

Empties #2

Yes, my 2nd empties post is here already! Not long since my first I know but like I said in that, I always seem to run out of things at the same time - typical! 
This empties post has a variety of products from body to hair to cosmetics, some have lasted a long long time and some a things I use daily!

1. Soap & Glory's The Scrub Of Your Life - I have talked about this before, it is one of my favourite ever scrubs! 
This stuff is fantastic - I love the classic Soap and Glory scent and a little goes a long way! I had been using this probably once or twice a week and it has lasted months! The main reason I love this scrub is because it helps target those annoying red bumps on the back of my upper arms ... come on I know some of you must have those too, it has basically cleared them for me - a miracle product! (I already have a replacement bottle in my shower)

2. Liz Earle Instant Boost Skin Tonic - This is one of my daily skincare products. I use it both in the morning after my shower and in the evening after removing my make-up! It leves my face feeling revived and refreshed whilst maing sure it is super clean before I add any cream, serum or make-up to my face. A product I couldn't live without, I probably get through one of these per month.

3. Lee Stafford Argan Oil Deep Nourishing Treatment - I bought this along with the matching shampoo and conditioner from the collection (which I am also nearly out of)!
As you all know I'm a major Lee Stafford fan girl! So when these products were 3 for £20 a little while ago I had to pick them up! Of course they are fantastic on my hair, I love how strong, smooth and silky it feels after using this treatment - especially after recently having a full head of bleach highlights done, it is so important to look after your hair and even more so if you abuse it with colour like I do!

4. Maxfactor Masterpiece Max Mascara - By far my favourite "drug-store" mascara! If you like brushes which are comb-like then this is the mascara for you. I have used this for years, I've tried so many others and I always seem to come back to this old faithful beauty!

5. Soap & Glory Hand Maid Hand Gel - I'm not sure how many of these I've ever been through. I am a serial hand sanitiser user, I use this stuff like it's going out of fashion! I love this soap and glory one as it smells so nice and does last for a good while even if you use it like crazy like me!

Have you run out of anything lately? All of these products are going to be repurchased!

Empties #1

Empty products posts are some of my favourite posts to read! I know, like myself, bloggers own and buy a lot of products.... And I mean a lot! So to get down to the bottom and use it all I know it has got to have been a gooden!
So I thought I would start sharing my "empties" with you all as and when I finish them! 
Most of the products I finish I will always re-purchased at some point! For me to finish something down to the very last drop means that I seriously love it!
1. Soap and Glory's Sugar Crush Body Wash 
Now... How many times have I mentioned this stuff? The sugar crush range from soap and glory is probably my favourite! I love the scent and I love how it makes my skin feel! I have used all 3 of the sugar crush products over the last few months and this has got to be the one I use the most! (In fact I already had a new one waiting for me after this one has run out!) They are £6.50 each which some of you may think is expensive but this stuff lasts me a good month  per bottle! Which if you think about all the cheaper branded bottles you'd probably buy over a 4 week time span works out at about the same price! I think the pump action is great for controlling dis pension and making sure you don't waste the product! Try this stuff and you won't be disappointed! 

2. Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish
Well this stuff is always going to be in my empties! I buy one of these probably every month and I can easily say it's the best cleanser I've ever used and it would be hard to beat! Like I said before 1 bottle normally takes me a month to use, I love this stuff.

3. Lee Stafford Breaking Hair Conditioner
I've probably worked my way through most of Lee Stafford's products now, I have to say it is my favourite haircare brand!  I cannot live without conditioner and I love switching up my routine and trying out new ones all the time! This has been one stuck in my shower for the last couple of months, along with the breaking hair shampoo and treatment this stuff has made my hair feel amazing over and over - so smooth and strong, I will definitely be repurchasing... just after I've used all the others I have been waiting to try out/use!

4. Maybelline Super Stay 24 hour Concealer
A fab concealer that I've used 98% of! This stuff is great for my horrible under-eye bags and isn't that expensive (approx £6.19) for the amount of time it lasts, a great buy that I will no doubt re-purchase!

5. Moroccanoil Treatment Oil
This stuff is a god send. I actually don't know how I lived without it before! I did a whole post on this oil back in the summer when I first tried it out.  You may think they stuff is expensive at about £13 for just 25ml but that first bottle has lasted me around 4 months! Which crazy seeing as I use it everytime I wash my hair - it is amazing value for money and I already have a new bottle on the go! I could even feel the difference when I couldn't use it for a couple of washes, I don't think I'll find an oil better than this now!

Well there you have it, my first empties post! I hope you have enjoyed it - please let me know what you thought! 
There should be another on the way soon , why is it that we seem to run out of everything at the same time!?
