Recent Empties.

Helllooo.
I've been saving up these empties for ages, and now I'm having to split them into a couple of posts as I have too many haha. Typical.


Yea.. please excuse the terrible picture, I took it in a massive hurry and it's really terrible. Ah well. If anyone has any photography tips, let me know!
(l-r)
  • Batiste Dry shampoo in  Tropical and Blush - the tropical one is pleasant enough but I wouldn't buy the Blush one again as the scent is far too sweet and overpowering for me. It works really well, though.
  • got2b Guardian Angel - I liked this. I'm not sure if it really protected my hair as I had let my hair get into terrible condition anyway. I would buy again as it's pretty cheap, but I have a hear protector that I got in a Birch Box last month so I'm not on the market for it.
  • L'Oreal Elvive Triple Resist Shampoo - I bought this in France, hence the French bottle. This was supposed to help hair that has a tendency to fall out, however I think this is wishful thinking! It's a nice enough shampoo, though.
  • Le Petit Marseillais White Clay and Jasmine conditioner - Absolutely love this! Would 100% buy again and definitely recommend if you're going to France. Read my review here.
  • Caudalie lip conditioner - Lovely lip balm, nourishing and moisturising. I wrote a review on it here.
  • Revlon lip butter in Peach Parfait - I think the entire world has a Revlon lip butter. I really like the formula and this is possibly my fave colour in the range. I do think they are a tab expensive as they aren't all that long lasting on the lips, however I would buy again as it's the perfect middle between boring lip balm and a full on lipstick.
  • (front row)
  • La Roche Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 Soothing Repairing cream - Great multipurpose cream, really sorted out my dry skin in the winter! I do wish I'd bought the larger tube. Read more here.

  • So have you tried any of these products, what did you think?

    Recent Empties.

    Hey guys, hope you've all had a lovely week!
    Today's post is a classic empties post, I didn't have enough to do a proper post at the end of January so thought I would do it now before it all builds up and there's too much for the end of February (vicious cycleee).
     

    Back l-r: Gel douche gourmand (Apple scented shower gel) - This is an own brand product from a French shop called Monoprix, but the range is pretty similar to Original Source shower gels, which I love! This cost around 2euros. I won't be buying again though because I felt I had to use a lot of this shower gel compared to others.

    John Frieda Radiant Red Enhancing Conditioner - This I bought in Boots when they had a 3-for-2 on haircare back in August but I only started using this in November. I think it lasted pretty well, seeing as my hair is loooong so I do use a lot of conditioner! I would definitely buy this again as it left my hair delicately scented and so soft, but I will definitely be waiting until I'm back in England as it's a bit more expensive here in France.

    L'Oreal Smooth Intense shampoo with Argan Oil - Being in France, L'Oreal shampoos are everywhere and I think they actually have a wider range available here, and it's a bit cheaper than in England. However this one is also available in Boots, I've checked online! I tried this particular one because it contains Argan Oil and I have heard this is great for your hair. I have noticed that my hair does feel healthier, so I would buy this again, maybe after I've used up my current one!

    The Body Shop Body Butter in Japanese Cherry Blossom - I received this as part of a birthday present. I adore the scent, it's so delicate so it isn't overpowering. I love the body butters from the Body Shop so will be buying again, but I do love trying the different scents.


    Middle: The Body Shop Body Butter in Pink Grapefruit - again, this was part of a present, but a different one. I love the refreshing scent and I used it a lot during summer but forgot about it, so I've only just finished this one.


    Front l-r: Vivienne Westwood Cheeky Alice Eau de toilette - I love this perfume, every time I use it it makes me smile (geek). I have had this for over a year now because I like to use different perfumes on a daily basis. I would buy this again, or I would like to try the Naughty Alice Eau de Toilette also.  
    Vichy Aqualia Thermal cream - I bought this in France and it's a teeny bit cheaper here than it is in the UK. My skin was feeling really dry and the pharmacist said that this would sort it out! It definitely did! Also, I have extremely sensitive skin and this didn't irritate it at all. I won't be buying this again in the foreseeable future, though, because I want to try as many French skincare brands as possible whilst I am out here - I will definitely keep this one in mind though!

    Have you tried any of these products? What did you think?
