Summer Empties (Beauty)

 Hi everyone, so today I'm going to do and empties blog post. I see a lot of these on YouTube and I guess they're really good idea because from a shopping addict point of view you have to use the whole product up, which is something I never usually do!

Ive split this into two sections, hair and skin/body. The first thing from the hair section is a shampoo. A little back story to this is that I've always had really thick hair, however I've always been obsessed with getting even thicker hair, so a shampoo that claims to thicken always catches my eye. The shampoo from the new range by L'Oreal Paris called Fibrology. It claims to "penetrate and instantly expand hair leading to 80% more body in balance". I really enjoyed the shampoo as when I purchased it I had just bleached my hair for the millionth time and it was starting to feel a bit thin and brittle. This shampoo restored my hair to its thick and original form, so I would definitely recommend it.

My next empty is an all time favourite, the L'Oreal satin supreme hold hairspray. This product is awesome and I will continue to repurchase it until I find one that smells better, whilst still achieving the excellent hold (it smells a bit like an old lady). My favourite feature about this product is that it disappears at the stroke of a brush meaning it's very easy to remove and you don't have to wash out of your hair the end of the day or night out.

The next empty is a product that I've owned for over a year, it's an argan oilnourishing mask from the brand Phytorelax. I believe it was a purchase from TK Maxx, and I quite like it. It didn't blow my mind or give me extreme softness and good condition, but I quite liked it to put it in second day hair or as a more intense replacement for conditioner. I found that weighed my hair down in a good way as my hair can be quite puffy when it's just been washed. Having said all this it did cost over £10, and I have tried other hair treatments that were much cheaper and more effective. A good example of this is the John Frieda total repair conditioning mask/deep conditioner.

Now moving on to the skin/body products. Firstly I'm going to talk about a product from Soap and Glory. They are one of my favourite brands available on the British high street, the witty names and amazing smells make them a staple in my bathroom/bedroom. I've just finished the "Breakfast scrub" , which is a body exfoliator made with a number of natural ingredients including oats, Shea butter, bananas, almond and honey extracts. It smells amazing!!! Like maple syrup I literally want to eat it when I put it on my body. And it also did an amazing job at evening out the texture and dryness of my skin, a definite repurchase needed. ( A post coming up in the near future where exfoliating the skin is a key part of the "process".)

The next product is and aftershave/fragrance. I'm extremely fussy when it comes to scents so I don't usually like people to buy me them for my birthday unless I have asked them to get me a specific one. ( Would you like a favourite fragrance/fragrance collection video? Comment below.) However I really liked the "David Beckham instinct sport fragrance". It hasn't lasted very long but I think that's because I used it every single day since my birthday when I got it which was in March, and so actually for a 50ml bottle it's lasted quite well. I won't go into the notes/base notes Etc blah blah blah because I'll save that for a separate blog post specifically about scents, however I will say it's very fresh and manly and quite "awakening" - if you can use that word to describe a fragrance. I may actually re-purchase this, however as you'll see from my collection in a later post and do you like to try out lots of different fragrances so I may move on to something different.

Final product is a skin saviour, the L'Oréal Paris Skin Perfection 3 in 1 Purifying Micellar Solution. I found this product after running out of my Bioderma which I bought in Paris about two years ago. I like Bioderma so much because it was an extremely deep clean which I needed as I got bacterial breakouts quite regularly. Again I'm going to review this product and compare it to Bioderma in a separate blog post however for now I will say that I like it a lot, and I already repurchased it multiple times.

And that's all for this blog post. I hope you liked my empty/mini reviews, if you have any more blog post suggestions please email me or Facebook message me or comment on this blog posts because I'd love to hear your feedback!!
