July All Used Up

Hello everybody! It’s that time again to finally give the bin man my used up junk, well actually I’m a little early but I can’t stand having junk laid around so I thought I would get it posted and out of the way. Once again it seems I have gone through a fair amount of stuff, it’s actually quite surprising. So here goes.

♥

Elemis Freshskin Skin Clear Mattifying: Moisturiser I have been rationing this moisturiser like crazy because I absolutely love it; it has to be one of my favourite moisturisers ever! It’s a mattifying moisturiser and is specially formulated for oily and blemish prone skin. It changed the look, feel and behaviour of my skin for the better, really helped with spots and kept my oily combination skin at bay. You can read my full review about this product and some others from the Freshskin range from Elemis HERE. I will be buying this in the future without a doubt. Simple Kind to Skin Eye Make-up Remover: Sometimes when I run out of things, I have a change and buy the product I need from a difference brand, and boy did I make a bad decision with this product. I picked this product out from a choice of others because I’ve heard amazing things about Simple, and Simple claim that their products are kind to the skin and this product would be kind to the eyes. I will give them 10 out of 10 for this product being kind to the eyes, it didn’t irritate or sting my eyes but by the time I managed to remove half of my eye make-up my eyes were red and sore. This eye make-up remover seriously fails for me, it is gentle on the eyes at first but it’s incredibly bad at removing anything, and I made my eyes red and sore just trying. I will not ever by this product again, it’s not for me. Avon Anew Skin Transforming Primer: Is a white cream with a soft light texture that applies to skin very easily leaving a transparent finish. This primer contains light reflecting particles and ingredients that are beneficial for the skin as it is an anti-ageing serum. My make-up stayed on day and helped to control my skin form becoming as shiny. It’s a good primer but I wouldn’t buy this particular one again because it’s aimed for mature skin and doesn’t benefit me all that much. Collin Resultime Anti-Age Signnes Visibles Eye Contour Cream: This eye cream uses specific active ingredients to fight the five signs of ageing the eye contour area: dark circles, puffiness, fat pockets, wrinkles and sagging. This light cream has a soft texture and is easily applied to the eye area and instantly making the area feel softer and cared for. I have to somewhat agree with the companies claim because I saw a difference in the first couple of uses. My eyes looked less tired and dark, and it generally made me feel good about myself. I can’t say too much about this product because I only had the sample size but I had no problems using it and I was a little sad to run out. Unfortunately I won’t be buying this product any time soon because I find it be quite expensive. However It is an amazing eye cream. 

 Avon’sBlackberry and Vanilla Bubble Bath: I love Avon bubble bath to start with because you get a lot of product for the money and the bubble bath is very bubbly and they all smell divine. I like how the bottle is ribbed if that’s the correct way of putting it because it’s easy to measure how much product you’re putting in the bath, and seeing how much is left.  I love Avon Bubble Baths and I will continue to purchase them.

  

AvonMoroccan Argan Oil:  Comes in glass bottle with a pump dispenser and holds 30 ml of product. It’s thick golden oil which can be applied to dry or damp hair and is not sticky at all nor does it make my hair greasy. It leaves my hair looking sleeker, shiny, and soft and keeps my hair from becoming dry. I’ve also noticed it helps with drying time which is a bonus because I have super thick hair. I have already repurchased this about seven times and I will continue to do so. All in all I love this product just wish it was available in a bigger amount, as 30 ml doesn’t last me very long. Avon Dry Ends Serum: Again this comes in a glass bottle with a pump dispenser holding 30ml of product, and again I do wish it was available in a bigger amount.  The product is a clear serum and isn’t sticky nor makes my hair greasy. Since using it my hair feels softer, sleeker and my dry spit ends for bleaching have drastically improved. To me this product is my little life saver and I simply love It and I will continue to repurchase this over and over. Avon Naturals Shea andApricot Detangling Spray: Oh my god this smells gorgeous and I knew I would like it before I even bought it as I’m addicted to Shea Butter. It detangles any knots or tangles in the hair while leaving the hair smelling amazing. However I do prefer Avon Naturals Kids Crazy Hair Tamer because I find it to tackle my knots better, so for that reason I won’t buy this product again, I will stick to my favourite one. But It does smell amazing!!

So there you have it, all the products I have used up this month.

Anatomicals Review*

I while ago I got sent some lovely items from Anatomicals, be aware that you need a sense of humour to get along with this brand and their products. I also recomened visiting their website to get a gist of the brand. 

Headache Relief Balm £3.49 for 20g

This balm has made itself at home in my life, it goes everywhere with me. I get headaches quite often so its a handy little thing to have. The balm is very greasy and I don't like the consistency very much but this stuff works. As soon as I feel a headache coming on I immediately apply the balm to my head and after a few minutes my head feels cool and the headache wears off its amazing. I highly recomemned. 

Deep Cleansing Mud Mask £0.99 for 15ml

This mask is made from 100% pure clays, it has a soft consistency which makes it easy to apply and its very comfortable on the face. I left the mask on my face for a full 20 minutes and then removed it with luke warm water and a soft wash cloth. Afterwards my skin felt soft and supple and appeared to have a healthy glow. 

I enjoyed using this mask and I would like to use again as a lot of clay masks leave my skin feeling tight.

Deep Conditioning Hair Pack £0.99 for 15ml

I loved using this hair conditioner, however it was different to any conditioner I had used before. It has a liquid consistency which I thought was unusual as every conditioner I have every used has been thick and creamy. It has a nice scent and soaked into the hair quickly, I left it on my hair for 15 minutes and put a shower cap on my head. Once the time was up I rinsed my hair and my hair felt super soft! Just what I want in a conditioner. These small sachets are perfect to take on holiday. 

Vitamin Rich Hand Cream £3.00 for 100ml

This is a nice hand cream, its not greasy and sinks into the skin quickly. However I'm not fond of the floral scent so I keep this hand cream in my bedside draw to use before I go to sleep. 

Lip Balm £2.49 for 15ml

I didn't think I would like this lip balm the first time I applied it because its very thick and a bit sticky. But once it was applied it sank into the lips and left a thin gloss layer that is lovely and hydrating to the lips. I like to wear this instead of lip gloss because it looks like gloss but its also hydrating the lips. I think this will be great for the summer. 

Eye Gel £3.39 for 15ml

This gel is lovely to use when I've had heavy eye make up and false lashes as sometimes my eyes can feel a little sore. The gel soothes and cools and makes my eyes feel nice again. unfortunately that's pretty much all this does for me. 

I do like most the products that got sent to me. I love Anatomicals. silly side and I will be trying more of their products in future.

Empties

Oral-B Sensitive Alcohol Free Mouth Wash 300ml - £1.00

I first bought this mouth wash after I got my jestrum and labret piercings because the mouth wash I was currently using (Listerene) was to harsh for them. This mouth wash is really nice and pleasant to use because it is alcohol free, so you don't get that burning sensation. I bought this from Home Bargains for £1.00 but I haven't seen this mouth wash in any other shops. I really like this and I have repurchased and I probably will again. 5/5

Avon Naturals Kids Mango Crazy Hair Tamer 200ml - £2.50
I've been using this hair tamer for years because it does exactly what it says on the bottle. It combes any knots and tangles out my hair and makes my hair smell fantastic. I buy this product from Avon. This product comes in different fragrances. 5/5

Rimmel Exaggerate Liquid Eye Liner 10ml - £5.29
As some of you may know I would be lost without liquid eye liner as its part of my everyday make up routeen. This is really good quality jet black liquid eye liner and I have repurchased over and over because its great. 5/5

Elemis Fresh Skin Exfoliating Wash 30ml sample Full size £12.00
Review HERE. 5/5

Planet Spa Bath Oil From Avon - 50ml £??.??

A really nice bath oil that helps to moisturise the body but doesn't leave you feeling greasy or oily. I won't be buying this again because it leaks out of the bottle and makes everything oily. 2/5

Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation in shell 30ml - £27.50

I've had this foundation for quite a long time because I didn't wear it that often. It has fantastic coverage and gives  flawless almost perfect skin. The shade shell is the lightest shade and its very close to being a perfect match to my skin. Unfortunately it feels way to heavy on my skin and breaks me out like crazy, being the reason I didn't wear it much. 3/5

Soap & Glory Super Eyes Wide Awake Lifting Eye Gel 15ml - £9.00

I'm a big fan of Soap & Glory, and I like all of the products I've tried apart from this one. Although it does give a soothing cooling sensation that's all I have found it to do for me. Big shame. 1/5

Rituals Magic Touch Whipped Body Cream 70ml - £5.00

I absolutely adore this body cream, the first thing that attracted me was the scent, I'm not sure how to describe the scent but its kind of floral, a scent I normally don't like. It's really nice to use and melts into the skin really quickly, leaving your skin feeling incredibly soft and smooth. I will be repurchasing. 5/5

Soap & Glory Breakfast Scrub Body Exfoliator 300ml - £9.50

Another Soap and Glory product I love. Its has a thick consistency and it is full of oatmeal grains that work to remove any dead skin cells. The scrub smells of honey and porridge, not to everyone's taste  but I think it smells divine. Almost good enough to eat. I will be repurchasing. 5/5

Morrisons sensitive baby wipes 80* - 4 packs for £3.00

I've been using these wipes for quite some time because they are cheap, last, and remove make-up superbly. They are sensitive, so they can be used on the eye area to remove make-up. I have bought these over and over. They are fab. 5/5

Soap & Glory Night cream In shining Armour 50ml - £13.00

This is my favorite Soap & Glory product so far. Find my review HERE. 5/5
