Empties #58

It is rare when I retire a brush but sometimes it does happen. Sponges are different and need to be replaced more often due to the likelihood of contamination and germs.

Empties #50

We have a lot of hair products and a few makeup empties today!

Sanctuary Spa Shower Gels

Sanctuary Spa is a brand that does a lot of lovely body products. I do like the Sanctuary Spa Self Warming Detox Mask as well, but the body products are really ace.

Empties #38 - Skincare Masks

There is a reason our parents tell us not to procrastinate and to just get it done.  The masks empties is not just the products featured (I wish) but click on to read about the masks I have been trying and which I like and recommend!

Sanctuary Spa 5 Minutes Thermal Detox Mask

I've purchased this so many times and I don't actually have a standalone post on it so let's rectify this today!

Birthday Giveaway 2016

BIRTHDAY GIVEAWAY

Empties #16

June Favourites

 I have a lot of favourites this month because I have been trying to use things up and in that I have discovered some favourites.

Holiday Bag

Now you know how if you only have a carry-on bag, you are only allowed a little bag of toiletries that are not more than 100ml?

Welcome to travel mayhem!

Now here, you can see 3 bags. Let me clarify. The pink bag houses all things that are not creams/liquids and the top clear bag, is my boyfriend's toiletries. That essentially meant I packed it with gender neutral items we could both use on the holiday (I forgot the toothpaste) and then I packed my little bag of toiletries. EXPLOSION.

Empties #13

 Next month I should have a big empties as I have so many almost finishing items which I was so tempted to include in this month's empties!
However, I somehow managed to resist, and for now, let's crack on.

Fav Five - Face Masks

I do love a good pampering session at home.

Now while it is extremely nice to have a session at the spa, most of us neither have the time, nor money to make it a constant thing. On the other hand, at home spas can be a real luxury and even 10 minutes of "me time" can really boost one's mood.

One of the more important aspects of "me time" is face mask time.

Today, I share my Top 5 with you.

 This is only 3 of the 5 as I currently (very sadly) do not have the other 2 and am trying to finish up the other masks I own!

Boots Shopping Haul

Boots, it's a place where you go to feel better, but as my boyfriend says, their tagline should be...

Boots, give us your money.

Empties #5

I must admit. I really love empties posts.
There is almost some sort of glee in finishing up a product, be it a triumph or simply that I really did not like it and wanted to use something new.


HAIRCARE

Aveda Dry Remedy Hair Mask

The day this finished was a pretty sad day for me.
I really love this and this is the old formulation which has a heavier smell which I prefer, but the new formulation (I have the conditioner) is growing on me.
I really like how thick and nourishing this feels, and I use it at least twice a week but I alternate it with the Dry Remedy Conditioner and another hair mask - I have dry hair.
I will probably repurchase the new formulation of the hair mask!

Parcels, presents and gifts!

I was having one of those long work days where I came home tired and was starting to slightly cranky when I finally managed to pick up my parcels and there was 4 of them!

One box I was expecting from Ainaa and she promised belated birthday goodies and this is the first box I will be sharing!

Disappointing items #1

Now the title disappointing items may seem a little harsh,
but when I say disappointing, I mean that for me.
Essentially, they either did not do what they said they would on the tube, or they did not meet expectations.


Item number 1 goes to the Batiste Dry Shampoo for Dark and Brown hair.

Drugstore Review - Boots Haul Review

I thought I would do a review on the products I bought from the last Boots Haul (you can read it HERE)



I will attempt to write the review in chronological order as per how I described and introduced them in the previous blog post, so we shall start with body care, then skin care and make up, then end with hair care.




Let's go with BODY CARE first.



 Clean on me Clarifying shower gel (on the left)
Orangeasm which is the newest addition I believe (centre)
Pulp-Friction Foamy Fruity Body Scrub (on the right)

Empties #1

Unlike a video,  a blog post about Empties can be written along the way.

This is my first empties post, and I hope it helps you as I review the products.

These items are mostly collected in the month of April, I started the collection on 1st April when I decided I wanted to do an empties post.





BODY


First thing to finish was the Sanctuary Sculpting Anti Cellulite Treatment

Boots Haul

So I went to Bond Street to get a few bits and had a little shopping haul.
I will be doing a Space NK Haul blog post
but I wanted to show you what I bought from boots after weeks and weeks of not going into Boots properly.

Here is a sneak peak of the entire haul from Boots

Let's talk Sanctuary

I know it is a bit of a hit and miss with the scent,
but I personally love the Sanctuary scent.

They do skincare, bodycare, and targeted care, and I even managed to buy a lip balm from the store in Covent Garden after a spa day.
