Empties post

Image
Ive always wanted to do an empties post, and I've  finally accumulated enough empty products to do so. (Wahoo!) Garnier Micellar Water I got this in Early May/ Late April, mainly because everyone was talking about it and I wanted a piece of the action! I love this water. On the back it says you get 200 uses out of it, which on reflection I probably have had near that amount - using it twice a day morning and night. Garniers Micellar Water does an extremely good job of removing Gel eyeliner and mascara. I have been pretty impressed with this product and would definitely buy it again. It would be good if they did mini ones for weekends away etc though. Benefit Bad Gal Lashes Mascara Right so, I first experienced this a while back (maybe over 2 years ago) as a free sample from Glamour magazine and thought it was amazingggg! I then asked for some for christmas as I didn't know what else to ask for. Since then I've had a love hate relationship with it. It j

Sudocrem - Skin Care Cream

Image
Ok so I know what you're all thinking, isn't Sudocrem* what you put on babies bums? Well Folks this cream is a growing skin care cream and many celebrities swear by it.  Since using this the skin  on my face appears clearer and brighter. When I first began using it, I was using too much and I was left with some what greasy skin, I don't know if this would happen to everyone, but my skin just didn't like the thickness. I decided to use only a tiny bit and only in the places  I had problems with, this cream got rid of any blemish or spots I had in a night, which is pretty good.  Ive also found it handy for day to day annoyances from small grazes to nail hangs.  I love how the packaging is small enough to pop into your make up bag or hand bag. The amount of product you get is 30g and easy to dispense. I've seen the tubs that it comes in and was always slightly put off due to the un practical packaging, so the tube is a great improvement!  Have you trie

London trip feat Topshop

Image
On Saturday I took a quick trip to London and although there was the thought of not spending any money we all knew that I would buy something, I also found a whole host of things which I need/want.  So this little beaut was in the Topshop sale I wanted it when it first came out but for the full price of £40 I was slightly put off. I first saw the blue version they did  and then found this orange one in my size hidden else where. I love the colours in this playsuit. It's also a great length not to short not to long!  Next up. Is this.. I love head dresses and although this is the first one I've bought I do spend hours looking at them. I just be-grudge spending over £20 for them. This one I've had my eye in for a while I got it from accessorize and it was meant to be £22 but since it has been in the sale, I finally got it for 70% off which meant it was a mere £6.60. I love this so much even if it is a little big for my head!  And now on to my wish list which if I'm honest

Bourjois 123 Perfect CC Cream

Image
I am extremely dubious when to comes to BB and CC creams. When ever I gave one ago I have hated it. With a passion.  I don't know why but all the formulas I have tried just ended up oxidising on my skin and going really orangey. However while the English heat wave was in full swing I needed something a little better than my tinted moisturiser but not as heavy as my Foundation. As Bourjois seem to be pulling out amazing products on a regular basis I thought, I would give the CC cream one more chance. So off I went and got Bourjois' 123 Perfect CC cream in Light Beige. If it wasn't summer I would have definitely picked up the lightest shade, but luckily for me I am rocking a tan (a base tan at that!) So anyway on with the product review. Firstly, this product is extremely runny, if you have swatched/tried/have Mac face and body, it is similar to that. I don't really mind this but, it can be messy if you over squeeze the tube as you get more product out than you

July Favourites

Image
Now I never thought I would say this but, how fast has July gone?!? It only seems like yesterday I was packing my stuff up from uni to go home! Madness.   Unless you've been living in a cave recently then I'm sure you are all aware of this crazy hot summer we are having. If its not hot where you are move to the Isle of Wight. I honestly cannot remember a summer lasting more than 2 weeks. With that in mind my favourites seem to be those which wont over load my face with product.     Bourjois 123 Perfect CC Cream     I love this it gives a good even coverage with the added bonus of a 15SPF. I got the shade Light Beige, had it been winter I would have got the palest colour, but with my tan glowing I thought I better go up one shade. This has 3 colour pigments in it Green to cover red areas, Peach/Apricot colour to hide signs of fatigue and White to hide those dark areas. With this I can actually get away with not wearing any concealer or under eye concealer so
