March Empties

 So after my first empties post last month, I promised I would have more products to talk about. I've definitely achieved that! 

This Imperial Leather shower gel was actually used more by the husband than by me, but I absolutely love the scent. Imperial Leather normally release these around autumn, and this blackberry fragrance is just perfect for that time of year! Unfortunately these are limited edition, so I'm not sure whether repurchasing will be an option. Plus, we are still working through our Christmas haul of shower gels.

Repurchase: Perhaps later on in the year.

 I have so many hand creams on the go at the moment, but I managed to finish this Weleda cream which came with one of my Love Me Beauty boxes. The scent of this is quite odd, and initially I really wasn't a fan. However, the cream itself absorbed into my skin amazingly well which is what won me over. I can't stand that greasy feeling which some creams leave on your hands after applying! 

Repurchase: Probably not. I have way too many hand creams at the moment!

 These Elegant Touch nail polish remover pads came with a Glossybox at some point last year. They remove normal polishes quite well, but anything with glitter in is a nightmare. They also left quite a greasy residue behind on my fingers after using.

Repurchase: No.

I always keep a packet of these face wipes from Simple handy. I've mainly been using them for removing my mascara this month, but they're also quite nice to use for removing other types of make up. They remove mascara and eye make up really well, but I do find that they struggle with waterproof mascara. They do remove it, but you can be stood in front of the bathroom mirror for quite a while!

Repurchase: Already have.

I received this face mask from Murad with the March Love Me Beauty box. You can see a full review of it here. My main thoughts on it were that it left my skin super clean and clear, but I really wouldn't want to spend £25 on sachets.

Repurchase: No.

This is the first product from my Yule Monty gift set that I've finished! This Peaches and Clean face wash has been really lovely to use. I absolutely adore the peachy scent, and it has managed to successfully keep my skin clear from any outbreaks of spots. My skin also felt lovely and soft after using this. £8 is quite expensive for cleanser, but I will definitely be keeping my out for offers in Boots!

Repurchase: If I can get it on offer, definitely.


Hae you tried any of these products? What did you think of them?

January Favourites

This is a new thing for me, but I've decided to start talking about products that I've enjoyed using during each month. I realised the other day that I don't really talk about things once I've done an initial review so this should hopefully get me out of that bad habit!

Late December/January has been pretty good for new releases. I've really enjoyed playing around with the Revlon Colorburst Lacquer balms which came out this month. These have been great to slap on in the morning and I don't find myself having to reapply them too often throughout the day which is perfect! They might leave my lips a bit dry, but a bit of lip balm before bed helps with that. Watch out for more in-depth reviews of these coming soon!

Also among my new release faves is the Pretty Edgy palette from MUA's Luxe range. I absolutely love this palette. I've been pretty much using it every day. The colours are fantastic and I really enjoy the break from the usual neutral shades. If you're interested, you can see my full review and swatches here.



I don't really know how I'd have coped this month without these handy concealers from my 'How to Look the Best at Everything' kit from Benefit. I've had a few stress-related breakouts which have been hidden really well by mixing these concealers. I'd love to be able to get my hands on the full-size versions when these run out, but I'll have to see how my finances are doing!

Finally, I've been enjoying having a few pampering sessions with my Soap and Glory goodies from the Yule Monty set! My current favourites are the Butter Yourself body lotion, the Sugar Crush shower gel, the Peaches and Clean face wash and Heel Genius foot cream. The foot cream has definitely come in handy for nabbing a few cheeky foot rubs from the husband!
