Are You ready for another empties post?
I hope that was a yes because it's a bigun'. I dedicated the cutest little sweetie tub to store all my empties in as i didn't want to bin it. It is now filled up so i think that is a good indicator that this post is long over due. I'm trying to be really productive lately so as i am writing this it is 7:47am on a Wednesday morning and i am waiting for the bus. We love a productive sister.
Lets just get onto the products shall we?
Skincare
Most of the products that I've recently used up are mainly skincare. This is because i try to do a proper skincare routine every morning and night. I say try because lets be honest, most of the time i'm too lazy and there's a pack of makeup wipes calling my name.
The skincare empties I've collected are:
- Garnier - SkinActive Micellar oil-infused cleansing water - £2.99 - Repurchase? No
- Simple - Water Boost Micellar Cleansing Water - £6.99 - Repurchase? No
- Fourth Ray - AM to PM Gel Cleanser - $12 - Repurchase? Yes
- Nip + Fab - Glycolic Fix Daily Cleansing Pads - £9.07 - Repurchase? No
- Suki - Exfoliate Foaming Cleanser - £8.80 - Repurchase? No
- BareMinerals - Skinlongevity Vital Power Infusion - £48 - Repurchase? Yes
I won't go through every product but i will pick two out and give you my thoughts in more depth.
1. Garnier Micellar Water - Did this product work? Yes. Did it do well at removing my makeup? Yes. Was it suited to my skin type? No. This is an oil-infused product and therefore adding oil to my already combination skin didn't help. It did work well however i could only really use this at night after a proper cleanse. If i used this in the morning my skin would become shiny and oily during the day and that's not fun.
2. BareMinerals Serum - I got this baby in my GlossyBox advent calendar and it worked like a dream. I love a good serum and this is by far a good one to add to the list. It made my skin feel amazing! This little bottle didn't last long so i think a purchase is in order.
Makeup
I haven't used up much makeup since my last empties post so this won't be long. I don't know why as i feel i have used more makeup recently but i'm not complaining.
- Revolution - Conceal and Define Concealer - £4 - Repurchase? Yes
- Maybelline - Instant Age Rewind - £6.58 - Repurchase? No
- This Works - In Transit Camera Close Up - £21 - Repurchase? No
- Colourpop - Brow Boss - $5 - Repurchase? No
1. Revolution Concealer - This product is fab. I won't bore you with loads of details because i know every blogger and youtuber has raved about this product, but all i want to say is you should try this. I do think i ran out of this very quickly but that'r probably because i used it so much.
2. Coloupop Pencil - I quite liked this product but it ran out so quickly which means i would have to constantly repurchase it. Coloupop can be difficult to get in the UK due to shipping costs so i would probably find something similar which i can get more easily.
Thanks for reading this empties post.
Do you enjoy these?

Good morning/afternoon/evening... I've been stashing away my empty products to share my views to you lovely people.
The struggle is real... i really want to paint my walls white as i'm having to fake white walls with white paper and its so much effort!
I've collected 12 products as i didn't want to make the post too long or short (and i ran out if space to store them)
What I Loved! (Will repurchase)
- Glamglow - Volcasmic matte glow moisturiser. I adored this moisturiser. it felt amazing on the skin and made it so smooth. Now the best feature of this product is the scent...O.M.G... It smells like sherbet and it's just delicious!
- Soap and Glory - Sugar crush body scrub. Again this is another product that smelt amazing! It reminds me of summer and is perfect to use before shaving or tanning.
- Colourpop - No filter concealer. For the great price, this concealer does not disappoint! It has medium coverage and hides blemishes. I loved this concealer to use under the eyes to help hide my dark circles.
What i liked (But wouldn't repurchase)
- L'oreal - Smooth sugars nourish scrub. This was a very nice scrub and felt gentle on the skin. It just didn't WOW me unfortunately. It was nice to use.
- Dermalogica - Daily microfoliant. This product was quite interesting and i enjoyed using it. it didn't seem to make much difference the skin however.
- Lacura - Calming toner. I actually picked this up at aldi as a last resort to toner as i had ran out and didn't fancy making a trip to town to pick up some more. I actually quite enjoyed this toner and i might possibly purchase again if i run out and need a toner quickly. It was super affordable too.
- Neal and Wolf - Flexible styling spray. This hairspray lasted me forever! it was a great hairspray however the product wasn't dispensed well and i had to keep shaking it in order for the product to spray out.
- The Body Shop - Shea butter scrub. This product made my skin feel great after using it. I found it to become quite messy and i felt the grains were to fine to actually be scrubbing my skin.
What I didn't enjoy
- The Organic Pharmacy - Antioxidant lip balm x2. I found this product to be very runny and they just didn't do much for my lips and sometimes made them worse.
- Caudalie - Micellar cleansing water. I hated the scent of this micellar water. The product its self was okay but ii personally didn't like the scent.
- AVEDA - Thickening tonic. I didn't seem much difference when using this product and therefore i don't see the point in repurchasing.
That's all for today. I hope you found this post helpful!

Hey! Today i am bring a post based around my empties. Now i usually rotate my make up and skincare each month , so it takes time for a product to completely run out. I've manage to create a collection of a few items and i'm going to tell you which i loved, liked and disliked.
What I Loved!
I really need to try out more products as everything i have tried from this brand i have loved! This moisturiser is super hydrating and satisfying to apply. It made my skin feel amazing and i looked forward to applying this product every morning!
Caudalie - SOS Serum
Again I absolutely fell in love with this product and after i use my last little travel size i will defiantly be purchasing a full size as this serum is a dream.
Collection - Lasting Perfection Concealer
I'm constantly repurchasing this concealer. It is really affordable and is great for an everyday concealer. I would say that this is a medium coverage and is great for under the eyes.
MAC - Pro Long-wear Concealer
If you're looking for a more full coverage concealer than this one is a great choice. I will say i had to break open my jar as there was still lots of product left at the bottom but it didn't squirt out through the pump. I also wish it was more affordable.
What I Liked!
This is quite a good micellar water and does actually feel like it is cleansing my skin unlike other ones i have tried. The product did run out quite quickly though as a lot of product does come out at once, therefore i just wish the packaging was more efficient.
Just your average foundation. I wouldn't say it lasts 8 hours never mind 24. The coverage is light to medium where i would prefer a full coverage. Nothing special.
This is a nice mascara however i think because it is the waterproof version it isn't as impressive. I will be looking to try out the regular version as I've heard some great things!
Skinfix - Foaming Oil Cleanser
This cleanser was good! I felt like it really did cleanse my skin. I would but this in the 'love' section however i'm just not jumping at the opportunity to repurchase.
OOlution - Eye Love
I quite liked this eye cream. I think it did a great job. It really woke me up in the morning , I'd just like to see some more results.
What I Disliked...
Garnier - Micellar Water Sensitive Skin
I didn't mind the product to apply and i did use it all. I just felt that the product didn't cleanse much at all, which was quite a disappointment. I also received my product in the post, only to find it half empty as the packaging had snapped and leaked, They need to make their packaging more sturdy.
Thanks for reading!
