STOP PRESS: Products I Actually Emptied #2

As many Beauty Bloggers might agree, actually finishing a product is generally a momentous occasion and not one that happens very often. Back in February of 2013 I posted my first Empties post (here) and almost a year later here is the second edition. I have gone through other products throughout the year, but I've either forgotten to keep the packaging or haven't deemed them interesting enough to talk about.

The first empty product is the Vaseline Spray & Go Body Moisturiser. I have the Aloe Fresh scent, but you can also buy it in Essential Moisture and Cocoa Radiant. I was first drawn to this from the tagline that it 'moisturisies in seconds' meaning that you can put your clothes on straight away rather than waiting around in a sticky mess. The idea is that you spray a fine mist all over your body, quickly rub it all in and you're good to go. The scent is really fresh and its left my skin feeling really smooth. Its quite a strange texture, in that it sprays like a hairspray would but as soon as it touches your skin it reverts to a cream-like consistency. The spray has lasted me a good 4 months, so for £4.99 I'd say it's definitely worth investing in if you're in need of a quick fix for the mornings. I definitely will repurchase it in the future.

 Secondly is the Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Translucent. As you might have noticed from the rather empty pan, I really love this powder. I wear this literally all the time. It mattifys my skin really well, and keeps my make-up in place all day long. At £3.99 it is such a bargain, and lasts for months too. If you're wondering whether I would repurchase? I already did, weeks before I finally decided this should hit the curb. True love.

Hot Cloth Cleansers are my favourite way to take the day off. They leave me feeling super clean and fresh. The No. 7 Hot Cloth Cleanser in particular is a favourite with me. The creamy consistency of the cleanser feels really nice on the skin and spreads really well. You only need one pump at a time, which means it lasts for ages too. I love the clear packaging on the cleanser too, as you can tell how much product you have left really easily. Although I do love this product and my skin feels so much clearer now after using it, I won't be repurchasing just yet. Purely because I'm trying out the Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish at the moment instead. At only £9.95 for the tube though it's definitely a product that I'll have in my collection again.

I hope this was interesting for you! Have you tried any of these products? :)

Skincare Haul.

Recently I've added these three products to my skincare regime, and I'm totally loving them! I've really been enjoying taking better care of my skin, and I'm definitely reaping the benefits now :)

My first new purchase is the Vaseline Spray & Go Moisturiser in Aloe Fresh. Now I'm not gonna lie. I am soo bad at moisturising. I hate waiting around in that sticky stage, so all my lovely moisturisers end up collecting dust in my cabinet. So aside from trying to get better at that particular area of skincare, when I saw the reviews of the Spray & Go moisturiser I knew it'd be perfect for me. Claiming to' moisturise in seconds so you can put your clothes on straight away' is music to my ears! Obviously your skin isn't going to be as hydrated as if you'd spent a full five minutes slathering on a cream, but for busy mornings? This is perfect. The scent Aloe Fresh smells lovely too!

Second is a cult blogger favourite which I finally succumbed too when I saw it on offer, in M&S of all places! The REN Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask is a real luxury product in my eyes. I've been trying to use this once a week for the best results, and I love the way my skin feels afterwards. So soft and smooth, and slowly but surely I think my entire complexion is brightening and clearing up. It really feels like a treat to my skin when I use this of an evening. The only downside I'd say is, it doesn't smell particularly pleasant. But for how good my skin feels afterwards, I'm willing to put that aside!

Lastly is the Nip + Fab Dry Leg Fix. For some reason or another I've always had quite dry skin on my legs. But, as stated previously I suck at moisturising regularly. This product however is such a lifesaver, that I don't mind spending the extra few minutes. Especially if I'm not wearing tights that day. I actually got a free sample of this with a magazine (for the life of me I can't remember which one!), and loved it so much that I went out and bought the full size! Its a really thick creamy consistency but it does sink in to the skin nicely and doesn't leave you feeling sticky. Definitely a holy grail product for me now. :)

So there's my three recent skincare additions! Let me know of any other products you think I should try next! :)
