Empties | #1

So i thought i would save up my empties from the past few months to show you all what I've used up. Some things i really enjoy using take a long time to use up so they may be in future empties posts. I had a few of the same empties in there such a wipes and deodorant, which i though pointless to show you all of them so i only kept one in, so i do use them up more frequently than one every three or four months, obviously. I try to remember to put my empties in my empties bag but I'll try for my next empties!


Starting with the picture on the left:

Makeup wipes, there are only two here but I've used many more packets than this, but it would be very boring if it was mostly empty makeup wipes. I generally just pick up ones from tesco's, i think these ones were from wilko's.
Roll on deodorant. I use the pink one from soft and gentle, yes I'm calling it the pink one because i don't remember the scent and i can't really be bothered to get up and check (bad blogger, i know I'm sorry). I have used more than the three, but i thought that would be enough to show you! They basically do the job.
MUA mosaic blush in English Rose. I got this last Christmas and i used it up in the summer. It gives a radiant glow to the cheeks, maybe suited more to the summer than to the winter. The lilac blocks in it give the cheeks a subtle highlight and a slight shimmer of lilac, which i think makes this blush unique. I have already purchased another one.
Soap and Glory Righteous Butter. I bought the mini pot to try out and i loved it. It's very rich and sinks into the skin quickly. The scent isn't too overpowering and it moisturises the skin so well, no wonder everyone raves about it!
Another Soap and Glory product, it's the Scrub em' and leave em' body scrub. I enjoyed this as a body scrub, although the mini pot only lasted for two applications. It has pink beads in it which already floats my boat, and has a nice scent. I have since discovered the Sugar Crush body scrub which i rate very highly, so as long as i'm using the Sugar Crush, then i don't think I'll be repurchasing this one in a bigger tub.
Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection concealer. Yes, the infamous concealer is indeed my favourite ever concealer. I've been using it since i was about 12, and its the only concealer Ive used and have felt the need to use. Again, i must have used up at least two more of these, but didn't think to throw them in.
Directions hair dye in Poppy Red. This is from when i last dyed my hair red in August. I love these dyes, there is such a wide range of bright colours, they don't contain any nasty chemicals, they're conditioning so you can leave them on for however long you want, and they have a good staying power for a semi permanent dye. If i ever decide to go back red, this is the dye i will be using (i still have two pots somewhere).


Now onto the right picture:

Batiste dry shampoo. I have tried many of the flavours from Batiste and i don't have a particular favourite, i find they all work exactly the same just with different scents. I cannot live without this stuff, i am currently using up the new lace scented one.
Boots nail polish remover. Cheap and cheerful, this removes any nail polish without any trouble and removes everything.
L'oreal Elvive Nutri-gloss sparkling conditioner. I have started using this after i finished my colour protect conditioner as i had dyed my hair back from red to my natural dark brown colour. I find being a brunette again, i need to pay more attention to the style and look of it, and having glossy hair is what i have been going for. I have another one on the go in the bathroom along side the shampoo.
L'oreal Elvive colour protect shampoo and conditioner. I used these when i had my red hair. I haven't got anything to compare it to as i don't use other shampoo and conditioners that don't have colour protect in it. It does the job, and i'm finishing off one in the bathroom still.
Natural Collection vanilla spray. This is from Boots and i love just spraying it when i feel like smelling nice, it's not too strong and lasts a long time, i generally can smell it hours after.
Several sprays. I don't think i need to explain all of these, you get the idea.
I cut out the hairspray for some reason, but it's one of the huge cans you get from sally's. I wouldn't recommend it, it was rubbish!

I hope this wasn't too boring, let me know if you enjoyed it and i'll make sure i remember to collect my empties for another post!
