Today I will be going through my recent empties - products that I have used over the past few weeks. I have done two of these so far and really enjoy creating them, so here's my third! As always, products marked with a '*' are products sent to me by brands for free, but all opinions are my own.
HEMPZ YUZU & STARFRUIT INSTANT SUNLESS BRONZING MOUSSE (MEDIUM)*
Enriched with 100% pure natural hemp seed oil. Paraben/gluten free and vegan friendly. I really enjoyed using this and it gave me a lovely colour. Easy to use, lasts well and is a great colour! It does have a scent, but it isn't that typical fake tan scent which I also prefer. All in all I really enjoyed using this and it is great for topping your tan up.
MASQUEBAR LAVENDER MODELLING MASK*
I've never used a mask like this before, you have to add water and mix it up yourself. The only thing I would say is that you do have to work quickly with it as it dries fast. It was easy to make up though especially with the instructions and spoon provided, and made my skin feel lovely, really supple, hydrated, soothed and soft. I didn't leave it on for as long as recommended as I took too long with the application so a lot of the mask had dried but all in all I was really happy with the results, enjoyed using the mask and would definitely use it again.
TOO FACED BETTER THAN SEX WATERPROOF MASCARA
This was only a mini version so not a full empty but I can definitely see what all the fuss is about with this! It makes your lashes defined, gives them a lovely curl and volume and overall makes my lashes look amazing! I would probably go on to purchase this in the future, although it is out of my usual budget as it is high end. I do think I'd prefer non-waterproof as I did find this was harder to remove than my usual non-waterproof formulas but it is a great option if that's what you are looking for!
NOUGHTY HAIRCARE DETOX DYNAMO SHAMPOO & CONDITIONER*
This product is 97% natural, free from silicones, sulphates, parabens, petrochemicals and is cruelty free. I really enjoyed using this, it made my hair so soft and clean and was the best my hair has felt in a while. I believe this is an affordable brand, and I would definitely suggest it if you're looking for a natural range of products with good morals, then this is for you! Despite being a two-in-one product, I found this didn't make my hair limp or greasy at all and I would definitely consider it again in the future.
SUKIN HYDRATING MIST TONER*
This mist toner is alcohol & paraben free, soothes & tones skin, is suitable for all skin types, contains no sulphates, synthetic fragrance, harsh detergents, artificial colours or mineral oil. It is also carbon neutral, cruelty free and vegan friendly. I absolutely loved this. It's so refreshing, makes the skin feel soothed, hydrated and all round great! It's so easy to use, I love the mist applicator and this is a new found love for me. I absolutely loved using it and would definitely consider it in the future, as it has an affordable price point too. I also love that they have great ethics!
RIMMEL WAKE ME UP CONCEALER (IVORY)
This concealer I really like. It doesn't have a huge amount of coverage (medium) but especially for under the eyes gives a natural and ever so slight glowy finish. I find it's not as good for covering blemishes so I tend to stick to using it as an under-eye concealer but it is a go-to of mine as it's affordable and works well for me! I have actually already re-purchased this so really do like it. I find the Ivory shade isn't very light - it tends to match my skin colour rather lighten it, which is my only minor fault.
JOAN COLLINS BEAUTY I AM WOMAN DRY OIL BODY POLISH*
Made in the UK, this body polish from Joan Collins was lovely. It's very nourishing but also very grainy (I'm not too sure what word to use), but they're my favourite types of body scrubs to use. It's great for removing fake tan, and all round makes your skin look and feel lovely. The scent is quite feminine, and lingers on the skin for a little while too. I really enjoyed using this overall!
TIME BOMB COMPLEXION COCKTAIL*
The aim of this is to detoxify stressed skin, which I would definitely say it accomplished. I used this as a toner to prep my skin for other products and loved using it that way. It left my skin with a lovely healthy glow and made my skin feel smooth but also clean. I really enjoyed using this and would definitely recommend it to anyone! I love the scent of this too, and it isn't heavily fragranced which I like.
This powder is a suggested dupe for the Hourglass Ambient Lighting powders. I have never tried the Hourglass ones personally, but this powder I really liked! It's great for keeping you matte but also still giving dimension to the face, it provides a natural looking glow and is great if you want a more natural look. I really enjoyed using this and would definitely repurchase. I believe it's £4 too so really affordable!
IMPERIAL LEATHER FOAMBURST UNICORN MARSHMALLOW BODY WASH
I have never tried a foam body wash before, but this one didn't disappoint! The foamy texture is lovely, and I do prefer it to regular body wash. The scent is sweet (which I love) and all in all I feel this was a great product, and I'd definitely try some of the other foaming body washes available in the future! I believe this particular scent is limited edition however. Also affordable at a few pounds!
This I absolutely loved!! The scent is amazing, and is so relaxing. The candle has a great fragrance throw off, and I really couldn't fault this. I love how simple the jar is, it looked lovely on my bedside table and I found using the candle light from this combined with the scent was great for helping me relax and calm down in the evenings - something I find very hard! I really loved this and would definitely look to get it in the future.
URBAN VEDA ROSE & BOTANICS REVIVING HYDRATING TONER*
This toner is ph balanced, natural, contains no sls, parabens or gm ingredients, is cruelty free and vegetarian society approved, as well as being made in the UK. This was a joy to use, left my skin feeling fresh, purified but not stripped and uncomfortable. It is definitely hydrating, which I wasn't sure about at first but came to love. I really loved this and would definitely recommend it to anyone, especially those with maturer/dry skin. I would definitely consider buying this in the future.
MAX FACTOR VOLUPTUOUS FALSE LASH EFFECT MASCARA
Finally is a mascara from Max Factor. The Max Factor mascaras are some of my favourites and this one didn't disappoint. This made my lashes defined, not clumpy. gave them amazing volume and gave them a little extra boost! I would definitely consider this again, and as Max Factor is an affordable brand it's easy to get hold of.
That's everything! I hope you all enjoyed this post.
