June Empties 2015



June Empties

It's that time for another empties post. Here are all the things that i have used up and i'll give you the low down on what i think about these products. 


Baremineral's Mineral Veil - 9g - £20.00 - I was shocked i even came to the end of this as this finishing powder never seems to end. However i do really love this and it pairs extremely well with the original foundation. My foundation stays on all day and looks flawless. Even though this is a mineral powder, it doesn't look cakey on the skin. I have already repurchased this.


Benefit - They're Real Mascara - £19.50 - I have really fallen out of love with this mascara and i really hope it takes a fall from grace this year as there are so many better mascara's out there. This mascara dries up so quickly, it clumps to hell and is just a horror to get off. 


REDKEN - Smooth Lock Shampoo - £13.80 - I adore this shampoo and i have repurchased this straight away. It makes my hair look and feel amazing. I also love the almond smell of it. I love anything that has heat protectant in it and this is a sure winner. 


Vichy Derco Shampoo for Sensitive Skin - £5.66 - For a good value shampoo, this is really excellent and a great balance for a high quality shampoo. This really cleans your hair and helps get rid of any dandruff that is in the hair. 


Sisley Black Rose Mask  - Sample Size - I can't deny, this mask was amazing, the sample size was such a teaser for the really expensive mask. I can't say it is worth the price but this little sample was a wonderful treat.

Rituals Fortune Scrub - £10.00 - I adore this scrub and finishing another of these was a pleasure. My back has never been cleaner. I already have a back up so and i'm already using it. The scene is so relaxing. 


Caudlie Beauty Elixir - £11.20 - I do love this as a little treat and another bottle has come to an end. I really love the smell and the way this feels on my skin. However i won't be buying a back up anytime soon. I am looking to try other sprays. 


Impulse tease - £1.99 - This is a easy peasy quick pick me up when you don't feel so fresh. Great to keep in your bag to get out when you most need it. I do like the scent but i think i will be moving back to perfumes to keep me smelling great as i don't feel this lasts very long. 



Sanex Pro Hydrate Shower Gel - £3.19 - Cheap, lasts a long time and is great on my dry skin, i really cannot fault this. I love a good shower cream as opposed to Gel and this one sits on top of my list. I cannot deal with all the fragrance'd shower gels so this one really keeps that at bay from irritation.

New Discovery - Rituals - Fortune Scrub


For the longest time I have been looking for the perfect body scrub. Normally scrubs are far way harsh for my skin, especially at this time of year when my eczema begins to creep back up on me. 

All i can say is that Ritual's you have literally saved my skin's winter blues life!!! This scrub is absolutely fantastic!! It is incredibly light with perfectly sized small scrubbing beads which clean and make sure my skin is not irritated. 

I have tried several scrubs from Body shop, sanctuary and Soap and Glory and nothing really compares. The issue I have found on the market is that they ignore that some scrubs need to not be sugar based or have really harsh huge scrubbing beads in them. Those products really tore at my skin and even made my eczema bleed, which is not pleasant. I really feel that brands need to look to how facial scrubs are made because for some of us, we cannot cope with a lump of sharp sugar or a really uncomfortable gritty bead dragging across our skin and not just clearing the dead skin cell's but feel as if they are damaging my current growing skin cells. I honestly feel Ritual's have filled a HUGE gap in the market.

My skin feels so much softer and not at bit irritated at all, not just that it does the job hands down and all my dead skin cell's are gone, POOF. I usually use a brush in the shower with this and the two together are a marriage made in heaven. My skin has never felt so clean and clear. 

Not to mention the smell, the Madarin and Yuzu really fill my shower with a wonderful citrus scent which is my favourite scent all year around, and with it being winter, the nice smell of oranges really makes it feel a little like christmas.

You can buy it now for 50% off in the Ritual's sale. Needless to say, I have already gone on bought several off these already...oops...
