Empties #2 │ lipsticksandlevis

Hello everyone!

Over the last month or so, I have been trying to use up all those products that I had started to use and then forgotten about. I have quite a large stash of beauty bits and bobs, so I really want to start to use things up so my stash becomes smaller, because I probably have enough shower gels and shampoos  to last a good few years! So as I've used up a few bits and bobs, I thought I would do a quick empties post to give a mini review of each of the products that I have used! I say 'quick' but there are rather a lot of empties now I sit here and look at it. Here we go..



Avon Advance Techniques Instant Repair 7 shampoo & conditioner - I have used both the shampoo and conditioner, but only have the conditioner here. I loved using this combo and could definitely notice a difference in the condition of my hair after using them. The ends of my hair both looked and felt a lot healthier after each use and I would definitely buy them again

L'Oreal Paris Hair Expertise EverRiche Nourishing Intense Mask - I am a complete sucker for a hair mask. I am always buying new ones to try out and I couldn't tell you how many different ones I have tried. This was one of my favourites, specifically designed for dry and very dry hair, I feel like it really got to work on the dry ends of my hair and put back that moisture and shine that they had lost. It doesn't look like the biggest pot, but it lasted a really long time, so I would definitely consider repurchasing again in the future.

Colab Dry Shampoo - This was my second can of the Colab dry shampoo, and I am already using a third. I love this stuff, it really is incredible. It really is invisible and makes my hair feel fresh and clean when I haven't washed it. This has completely overtake my love for Batiste and I will continue to use it religiously. I love it.

Dove Go Fresh Pomegranate & Lemon Verbena scented deodorant - I don't really know what to say about this. It's a deodorant. It works. It smells nice. It lasted ages, so was good value for money. It just did the job and that's all I can really say!

Soap & Glory Butter Yourself Super Rich Smoothing Body Cream - I loved this stuff, especially as my skin got super dry during the winter. I loved to use this in the mornings because of the fresh, zesty scent. It was quite a thick formula, so was really moisturising. It sunk in quickly and left my skin feeling really soft and smooth.

The Body Shop Chocomania Sugar Body Scrub - Sugar scrubs are my favourite kind because I can really feel the particles working and scrubbing away the dead and dry skin. I loved the texture of the scrub and the way that it worked but I wouldn't repurchase this because of the scent. The chocolate scent was so overpowering and a bit sickly. It really wasn't a scent that I would like to use on a regular basis.

Soap & Glory The Scrub of Your Life - I had the miniature version of this in a gift set that I received for Christmas. I didn't really look at the packaging to see exactly what the product was, I just saw the name 'The Scrub of Your Life' and assumed it was just a scrub so used it once my old one had run out. I was shocked to find that it was a super moisturising scrub, kind of a scrub and moisturiser in one. I love a multi-tasking product, so this was perfect for me. I even loved it for shaving too, as it kind of lathered like a shaving gel. I was disappointed that I only had the miniature version because I loved it so much. It really is an all-in-one product and I will definitely repurchase when I'm in need of a new scrub.

Lush Hot Toddy Shower Gel - This was one of their limited edition products for Christmas. I'm usually a fan of all their spicy, musky scents at Christmas but I did find this a bit too much for me. It smells very strongly of cinnamon, which I'm only a fan of in small doses. I did, however, like the fact the scent lingered very faintly on my skin for a while after using it. I also wasn't really a fan of the gold glitter in the product, I just didn't really see the necessity for it.

Maybelline Baby Lips Intense Care - I liked the way that this made my lips feel when I first applied it, but I didnt really find it to last for long and I was constantly re-applying. I also found that it always left a strange and not very appealing taste in my mouth when I used it. If I put something on my lips, I don't want it to taste horrible. I wouldn't repurchase this lip balm because I have used ones that work so much better for me.

Colgate Max White One Optic Toothpaste - This is a slightly strange thing to review but I think it's really good so I have to talk about it. I first bought this toothpaste just because it was on offer and I have been using it ever since. I can really notice a difference in the whiteness of my teeth since I started using this. It has these small blue particles that burst while you're brushing your teeth and whitens them in the process. I have continued to repurchase and I will in future.

L'Oreal Paris Skin Perfection Moisturiser - I really, really like this moisturiser. It was super moisturising, while still being lightweight. It kept my skin hydrated without it feeling like there was a film on my skin, which is something I really hate. I found that whilst using this, the Skin Perfection part lived up to it's name. It really improved the texture and appearance of my skin and I am definitely going to repurchase this along with some other products from the range once I have used up some of my other skincare products.

Sanctuary Deep Cleanse Facial 5 Minute Thermal Detox Mask - This is possibly my favourite mask that I have ever used. I love the thermal side to it, because as it heats up you feel like your pores are opening up and the mask is getting to work on them to clear them out. I really feel like it does give a deep cleanse and my skin always felt amazing after using this. I will 110% be repurchasing this mask once I have used some of my others. I probably have around 15 different face masks waiting to be used. They're a bit of an obsession of mine, this being my absolute favourite!

Have you tried any of these products?
