Empties #1

I love seeing what people have used up, I think it gives you the best understanding of how a product really works, and most importantly, whether you would buy it again! Here's my thoughts...

From left to right:

1. Origins Ginzing Moisturiser: I love the scent of this moisturiser and I love the texture of it. It's really cool, light and refreshing. Which makes it even more annoying that it didn't work for my skin. I found it made my eye area dry and I've had this patch of irritated skin since I started using it and I think it might be this that's causing it. I didn't repurchase this, and have tried another Origins moisturiser which I will share in an upcoming haul. £23

2. Benefit They're Real Mascara: I was sceptical about this mascara initially, particularly as it is so expensive, but I took the plunge and repurchased this. I saw a video from benefit about how to use the brush and it totally changed the results I had. What I love most about this mascara is it doesn't flake off, even after a 12 hour shift and that's really important for me. Also, it's not really difficult to remove which is another important factor. £19.50

3. Nivea Stress Protect Anti-Perspirant: Another repurchase for me and I love the big can of this. Again this is vital for me since I work such long hours and it's so effective. It also has no alcohol in it which is good if you have sensitive skin. Already working through another of these. £2.50

4. Revitalash Advanced Lash Conditioner: I will always have one of these on my bedside table and have recommended this product to so many people I should have shares in the company! This product has literally transformed my lashes and there is rarely a day that goes by where someone doesn't say something about my eyelashes. Read more about my experience here. I am already using my next tube and will buy another one soon, I always need a back up of this! £61.20

5. Alpha H Liquid Gold: Another product I absolutely love and I fully intend on repurchasing this when I have more pennies. These bottles always last me a really long time (the packaging has changed since I bought this one!) and I always see results with this. I feel it makes my skin clear, soft and much brighter. It's so easy to use too, it's a crime not to have this in your beauty regime. After I've cleansed my skin I apply this to dry skin with a cotton pad and go to bed without putting on any other products and the next morning my skin feels great. £29

6. Make Up Forever HD Foundation: I have already repurchased this foundation and I can't imagine being without this now. It's really difficult to get in the UK which is a real shame. I wear N130 and it's a great colour for me, I can get away with it when I'm slightly paler or with a fake tan and a bit of bronzer. Love this! £30.95

7. Sally Hansen Moisturising Polish Remover for dry, brittle nails: I love Sally Hansen nail polish remover and always have a few back ups of this in my stash. I find it's really effective at removing nail polish, especially with all the dark colours I wear at this time of year. £2.45
