June Empties

These are the products I used up in June - not very many this month!
Imperial Leather Foamburst in Oriental Calm with Cherry Blosson & Rice Milk.  This is a full size product, it contains 200ml and retails for £2.55 here.  It is a gel that transforms into a foam, a little bit of gel makes a lot of foam! I would buy this again as it smells lovely and is a fab price as it claims it lasts for 40 showers.  It does contain SLS but I didn't find it drying.

Caudalie Shower Gel in The Des Vignes.  This is a travel size product containing 75ml and was sent to me by Sandra from Beauty Balm.  I am in love with this product! It smells absolutely gorgeous and I will absolutely be purchasing this in the full size version.  It doesn't contain soap, SLS, or parabens and is suitable for sensitive and delicate skin.
Sure Clear Aqua Crystal Deodorant - this is the compressed version which I really like as it is a perfect size to fit in my handbag, especially in this gorgeous weather! Retails for £2.00 here. I would repurchase this again (in fact I have and I am currently using it) I found it kept me dry all day and didn't mark my clothes.

Green People Cleanser and Make Up Remover - you can read my review on this product here.  I would repurchase.
No 7 Beautiful Skin Wipes for All Skin Types.  These retail for £7.00 here and contain 30 wipes.  I really like these wipes, the fabric is soft and doesn't drag the skin.  I buy these when Boots do the £5.00 off No7 range vouchers.  I would repurchase.

Nivea Facial Cleansing Wipes for All Skin Types.  These retail for £2.99 here and contain 25 wipes.  Although these are less than half the price of the No7 wipes I wouldn't repurchase them, I found the material quite rough against my skin and they were a lot drier than the No7 wipes.

Aprils Empties!

Yay its bank holiday weekend! Hope you are all enjoying the sunshine :)

Used up quite a few items this month, I am putting £1 for every full size item and 50p for every sample size item in my money box.  I started in March and have £9.50 so far.


Full size Rituals foaming shower gel in Zensation - organic rice milk & cherry blossom, I love the Rituals foaming gels and this is my favourite scent.  Will absolutely definitely be repurchasing (once I use up the other three bottles I have!)

Full size Balance Me super moisturising body wash - this left my skin lovely and soft but I really don't like the smell it has patchouli in and the scent is very heavy.  I got this in one of my Carmine boxes, I wouldn't repurchase it in this scent but I have one in Rose Otto and that smells much nicer, like turkish delight! 

Sample size Molton Brown Heavenly Gingerlily bath and shower gel.  I got this in my Harrods Glossybox and I love it! A little goes a long way and the smell is divine. 

So thats £2.50 into the pot.


Sample size Decleor Phytopeel, natural exfoliating cream.  I received this in my last Feel Unique box, I really like this product.  You spread it over your face wait for it to dry then rub it off! It leaves my skin super soft.  The full size retails at around £25 so its not cheap, but my skin looks much better after using it and I have a few on the shelf that I have received in swaps so don't have to splash the cash just yet!

Two sample size FAB cleansers - my skin loves these cleansers which means I do too! I have a stash of these that I have received in swaps, I am down to my last three tubes now and will be purchasing the full size when I'm down to my last tube.

Full size Soap & Glory scrub your nose in it - I love the smell of this, I leave it on for a few minutes as a face mask and it leaves my skin lovely and soft.

That's another £2.50 in the pot.



Sample size Soap & Glory flake away - this smells good enough to eat! I think this is my favourite body exfoliator.

Sample size Dead Sea Spa Magik silky smooth body lotion - I received this in one of my beauty boxes, I use it on my shins and it doesn't irritate them.

£1 in the pot.


Sample size Lulu Timebomb flashback night cream - I received this in one of my Carmine boxes. Its quite light for a night cream which I quite like, it doesn't irritate or clog my sensitive skin. I was actually quite surprised by how much I like this product!

Sample size Yon-Ka Anti-Pollution Vital Defense cream - I received this in my December Joliebox, its a very small sample which makes it hard to judge whether or not you like a product.

Sample size Sisley Sisleya global anti-age cream - Received this in a Latest in Beauty box, a little goes a long way which is good as the full size product retails at a whopping £260 for 50ml! I liked it but I didn't like it £260 worth!

Thats £1.50 in the pot.


I wouldn't normally include toothpaste in my empties, but I got these in my Carmine box.  I have used this brand before and I wasn't too impressed with the whitening power BUT these toothpastes are brilliant, my teeth were much whiter after using and I'll be buying the full size.

Another £1 in the pot.



Sample size Ginvera green tea BB cream - I got this in a Latest in Beauty Little box. I have tried a few BB creams and not been too impressed with the coverage, but I like this one! The smell is awful but the coverage and colour is really good.  Its probably just a touch too dark for my pale skin but would be fine in summer.

50p in the pot.


Full size Prada Candy - My lovely hubby got me this for Christmas after I loved the sample in my first ever Feel Unique box.

Sample size Thierry Mugler Womanity - love the tester packaging! 

Sample size Yardley Peony - got this in a Carmine box, its actually really nice a lovely spring scent

Sample size CK Euphoria 

Sample size CK Shock

Another £3.00 in the pot.


Thats £12 in the pot for April.  Must moisturise more in May!
