Empties #15

It's that time again when I have a good 'ole rifle through my beauty bin, see just what I've used up and share it all with you lovely lot. You know what I'm talking about - Empties. If you're new round here and haven't seen one of these round-up's before, I'll link all the ones I've done before here but I'm sure all you regular peeps know the deal by now. Let's just jump right on in, shall we?

Simple Kind To Skin Protecting Light Moisturiser - Kicking things off with Skincare, I have used this moisturiser all up as of late. This really hydrates my skin nicely, provides a great base for makeup and doesn't at all irritate my sensitive skin - which is always something I look for in my skincare options.

First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Pads - The first of two - yes, two - acid toners in this post comes from First Aid Beauty. I've recently finally got round to trying the whole acid toner thang and see what it's all about and I'm actually quite a fan so far. These gently exfoliate my skin without the need for a manual exfoliant and also tone my complexion too - minimising the appearance of pores. I was rather impressed by this version, until I tried the below and I have to admit that I will probably be sticking with them for the foreseeable...

Nip + Fab Glycolic Fix Daily Cleansing Pads - ...And they are these ones from Nip + Fab. I always knew I wanted to test these out as well after sampling the FAB ones, and as I said, right now I feel like the Nip + Fab offering just has the edge for me. The pads are slightly larger - meaning I only have to use one for my whole face, not two - and the formula remains ever so gentle on my skin, yet I can see much more of a difference from using them at the same time.

Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation in '51' - I just love this foundation, as I'm sure most of you know by now. It's a nice, medium coverage with a skin-like finish that's neither too matte nor too dewy and it just sits so lovely on my skin. It's always the foundation I turn to when I'm unsure what to put on and I feel it will forever be one I come back to time and time again.

Avon Super Shock Mascara - An empty product I wasn't so keen on (so much so that it's technically not really an 'empty' product) is this mascara from Avon. I really wanted to like this, but I'm afraid that just isn't the case. It just doesn't really do anything much to my lashes and even when I layer it up, I'm never really impressed by the finished result.

Maybelline Lash Sensational Luscious Mascara - A lash offering which I am much more enthralled by is this one from Maybelline. It's no secret that the majority of mascaras from the brand I love and this one is no exception. Admittedly, it definitely doesn't beat the original version, but I do really like it and it gives such a intense black look to my lashes.

Tresemme 24 Hour Body Shampoo and Conditioner Minis - Haircare-wise, I have these two miniature bottles from Tresemme that I have reached the very end of. I am a big fan of the whole Tresemme range and this collection is no exception to the rule. It leaves my tresses feeling and looking super soft and hydrated and as the name suggests, gives my hair in general a really nice boost  of volume aswell. What more could you ask for, eh?

Superdrug Coconut Water Hydrate and Shine Conditioner - Last but certainly not least (and again, from the Haircare department) is this conditioner. I actually used up the Shampoo from the same range a while back - but as usual - the conditioner took way longer to get all finished up and so it's only now that I can finally part ways with it. Again, I really enjoy this range from Superdrug and I especially find it to be good with adding some much-needed moisture into my locks.
