January Empties


I can't believe January has gone already! The end of another month means another empties post! Just a quick note - I've decided to stop including deodrant/body spray in my empties posts, as I use them up so often and tend to use the same ones. It's not that I don't bother haha.

The Body Shop Strawberry Shower Gel 250ml - £4.00
You really can't wrong with a shower gel from The Body Shop can you? I have so many of them building up in my bathroom cupboard! Strawberry is gorgeously fruity without smelling too artifical. It's not my favourite Body Shop scent, but it's one you can't go wrong with really!
Re-purchase? Probably.

Dermalogica Active Moist 50ml - £25.99 (online price)
I've used this moisturiser for a couple of years now as it's suitable for oily skin, is lightweight yet hydrating and not at all greasy. 
Re-purchase? I already have, but the price keeps going up (I think I bought it for about £22.00 last year), so next time I may start looking around for something else! 

Kleenex Shine Absorbing Sheets (Pack of 50) - £2.99
I couldn't go out without these in my handbag! I blot one of these purple sheets over my face every day to remove excess oil and shine. Better yet, they don't affect my makeup!
Re-purchase? Yes - apparently they're on offer for 99p at the moment at Superdrug, so I will stock up!

Benefit They're Real Mascara - £18.50
I've finally accepted that I must throw this away as I've had this about 8 months now. I really do love this - it makes my lashes look long, curly and voluminous! The things that I don't like quite as much though are the price and that it's a pain to remove!
Re-purchase? Not yet - I've bought the new Seventeen Doll'd Up mascara to try first! (Does it match up? Review coming soon!)

Lancome Hypnose Star Mascara (mini) - Magazine Freebie
I got this mini mascara free with Tatler last year and thought it was time to throw it away too. It's about 6 months old and is starting to flake off through the day when I wear it. It definitely gives my lashes volume and curl but it does clump when applying. The brush has both rounded and flat sides - you're meant to apply the mascara to the base of the lashes with the flat side and work it up through with the rounded side. It's just a bit of a faff really!
Purchase full size? No - the full size is £22.00 and for me, it isn't worth it.

What products have you used up this month? Any suggestions for a moisturiser for oily, problem skin would be much appreciated!

  4. It's definitely a dilemma when your fave products keep going up in price - especially when they are quite expensive already! Good variety of products - love a bit of body shop and the benefit mascara is one of my favourites, even though it is used up pretty quickly! x

    1. It is such a lovely moisturiser! I don't really want to stop using it but it depends on money/price next time I run out :s xx

  9. Just to let you know ... if there is a Home bargains shop anywhere near you they have the Blotting sheets for 69p !!! The 3 items from the Kleenex range (blotting sheets, eye make up remover wipes and the cotton wipes) are all 69p. I'm not sure if this is because Kleenex are discontinuing them but I've been going in every weekend and buying 10 packets to stock up for the apocalypse !
