I'm still getting to grips with this Youtube thing! I've decided to set myself a task of making one video a week at the moment, So this is the first one of possibly many? Feel free to watch on Youtube for more information as well as subscribe to my channel if you haven't already (:
So another round of empties! Thank god I can pop them in the bin now and start a fresh! Im such hoarder when it comes to packaging anyway so these types of video's really don't help that! As always check Youtube for all the deet's and please subscribe if you like (: You can also view my other products I've used up video here!
Bioderma Crealine H20: Like I mention in the video this is one of my favourite eye makeup removers as it's so gentle and kind on my sensitive eyes. All it takes is two cotton pads soaked in the solution and my make is completely gone.It's lack of availability in the UK does bothers me and I have moved onto using another micellar water from La Roche Posey. I've done a post on some dupes here.
TresSemme Dry Shampoo:I just simply wasn't impressed with this product as it didn't live up to it's claims. I didn't think it was as translucent didn't as it claims to be and still needs to be combed through. I found it was light and didn't build up too much but I just think that overall Batiste will always be my go-to dry shampoo of choice!
Ojon Dry Recovery Shampoo and Conditioner:My all time favourite shampoo and conditioner duo! Nothing leaves my hair as moisturised and nourished as these two used together. I cant rave about them enough and they are one of those products I think I'll be repurchasing for the foreseeable future without a doubt!
REN Clear Calm 3 Clay Cleanser: My skin is pretty broken out at the moment and I love using this to keep some of the excess sebum at bay, break down the dead skin cells, draw out impurities and calm any redness. I thought it was odd using a clay based product to cleanse with as it is a little on the messy side but I absolutely love this and have repurchased it a fair few times now.
Makeup Forever HD Foundation in 115: This is a semi matte, mid to full coverage foundation. It's really hard to get hold of in the UK as far as Im aware so Im not rushing out to repurchase. I can see why this is a lot of people's holy grail foundations but I felt it was missing something for me. It does look outstanding on camera though and I often wore it in blog photos!
Dior Airflash Foundation in 300: Another foundation I was so-so about. Dior Airflash is a matte spray on foundation that leaves a soft focus finish with no mess or fuss. It's so simple to use and perfect when your in a rush. However the fact it didn't even last me a month (and it's hefty price tag) just didn't do it for me. It's a shame as I expected a lot more from this product than it actually delivered on. If it lasted longer I think I'd be more happy to recommend it!
Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish: Almost everyone I know loves Liz Earle Cleanse and polish. It's just the perfect calming and refreshing cleanser for my skin. It removes all traces of makeup without being abrasive and drying. I can see why it's a cult favourite and I would recommend everyone trying it at some point!
I feel like Im constantly doing empties videos at the moment but honestly I've just been trying to use up what I have rather than keep buying more and more stuff I don't need. Hope you enjoy the video above and read below for more information that I might not have mentioned within the video! All information about what Im wearing and that jazz is in the bottom bar of the video, and please subscribe if you liked it (:
LUSH Big Shampoo (£11.50): I adore this shampoo as it's great for clarifying the hair as well as adding volume and shine. Sea salt is such a strange thing to put on your hair but it does honestly really work amazingly well! One tub lasts me around 4-5 washes which is not that much considering the hefty price tag. I probably only use it once a week max, but it's a nice addition to my usual haircare routine!
Origins Clear Improvement Mask (£19): My favourite deep cleaning mask! Packed full of white clay and charcoal this mask gets right down into the pores and gets all the gunk out. Perfect for congested or breakout prone skin to combat the skincare issues that cause bad skin. I love to have a good pamper at the weekends so this is perfect just to lie back and let it work. It goes quite hard after it's been on for a while which I like as it feels like all the pores are being cleansed and my
Vo5 Moisture Soak Elixir (£4.49): I always rave about this hair mask. I use it 2-3 times a week at the moment as it's so quick, easy and cheap. For the price you cant really go that wrong! I use this as a pre washing treatment and apply it while in the shower. It takes one minute and leaves the hair feeling smoother, softer and nourished. Over time I've seen this really improve the manageability of my hair.
Boots Botanics Hot Cloth Cleanser (£5.99): I remember hearing about this cleanser earlier in the year but I only managed to get hold of it agyer the rebrand and reformulation. I cant compare it to the original but personally I really like this one. It removes my makeup effortlessly without the need to go in with a micellar water to get the excess off. I can even use it on my super sensitive eyes. Balms are perfect for the winter months as they stop the skin from drying out from harsher gel or foaming cleansers. I'm a real covert to balm cleansing though! It's also 97% organic.
Original Source Mint and Walnut Shower Gel (£2.99): A uplifting and invigorating shower gel for those cold winter mornings. I buy this all the time as I really like the way it smells so strongly and goes slightly tingly on the skin. These are normally on offer for £1 or 3 for 2 so I tend to stock up whenever they are cheap! The walnuts don't really scrub all that much but they do add a nice roughness to the shower gel.
Laura Mercier Invisible Setting Powder (£29): I bought this probably about two years ago and have probably used it less than a handful of times. It just made my skin look cakey and ashy, which for a supposedly translucent powder just isn't right. It's very expensive for what it is too! I currently use the Laura Mercier Mineral powder to set my foundation which I absolutely love! I see so many bloggers rave about this setting powder but I just couldn't for the life of me work out why it looked so weird on me. It did control my oil and set my makeup but it just threw my colouring off completely.
MAC Moisture Cover Concealer (£14): Im a bit indifferent to this, It was okay but tended to get more and more orange as I wore it. NW20 isn't my shade (for when i'm pale or tanned) so it always looked a bit stark and cakey on my face. It does cover up redness and under eye circle well though! I would recommend the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer over this though as it's very cheap and works just as well if not better!
Pixi Lash Line Ink (£12): My favourite eyeliner of all time which has even taken over my love for Loreal Superliner Carbon Gloss. It's super pigmented, smooth, deep black and long lasting. I find it doesn't budge or migrate throughout the day. A perfect liner for those who are just getting into doing liquid eyeliner as the nib is long and precise.
There ya go! Another lot of products I've been hoarding with the intention of doing a video on for a few weeks but just haven't got round to doing it! I've got so much stuff I need to get rid of so I think I'll have to do a bumper one soon! Hope you enjoyed my video and please like and subscribe if you enjoyed it! It's always lovely to know your feedback on things!
