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.

Essential Haul

Morrisons Sensitive baby wipes 80* - 4 packs for £3.00: 

I've already mentioned these wipes in my first empties post, and I have bought these wipes over and over again. They have a great deal of 4 packs of 80 for £3.00, and these packs last me a long time. They are great for removing dirt, oil and all of my make-up even on the eyes. The wipes themselves are a good size and I only need to use two of them to remove make-up. 1 for the brows, eyes and lips and a second wipe for the face. They work out a lot cheaper than buying actual make-up wipes and these wipes are a lot larger. Love them!

Oral B Fluoride Toothpaste 100ml - £1.27:

Toothpaste, I know its boring but everyone needs toothpaste and I was running low. There is nothing special about it. I like the Oral B Sensitive Mouth wash which I also mentioned on my first empties post. So I thought I would try out the tooth paste, and it was on offer. 

Sanex Dermo Moisturising Dermo Oils Normal to Dry Skin Shower Gel 500ml - £1.80:

I've never used this shower gel before but my skin was becoming really dry, and even though I use body lotions / moisturises I thought why not try a moistursing shower gel. I used it this morning and I really don't like the smell but it lathers up nicely and feels nice on the skin. I decided not to use lotion after my shower because I'm full of cold and couldn't be bothered, and I noticed my skin felt really smooth and hydrated and I'm guessing that was because of the shower gel. 

Simple Kind to Skin Bath Cream 400ml - £1.00:

I bought this bath cream for the same reason I bought the shower gel. I've always used fruity bubble baths so I wanted to try something that would benefit my dry skin. I have not yet tried this but I'm looking forward to the time I do. 

Possibility Raspberry Pavlova Bath and Shower Body Scrub. 150ml - £1.00:

Raspberry pavlova body scrub is all I have to say, I was taken. Unfortunelty I used it this morning and I was hugely disappointed. It does smell like raspberry pavlova but this really is not a scrub. It has a liquid consistency so I had to pour it into my hands, and there is no  scruby-ness at all. Its literally like trying to rub an unset jelly into your skin. But I will keep it for bath times simply because the smell is divine. 

Mua Clear Mascara 7.0ml - £1.00:

I don't actually wear clear mascara on my eyelashes but I do like to use it on my brows to tidy and tame the hair. I've never used a proper eye brow gel because I'm pretty sure this does exactly the same job.
