Collective empties // Things I've used up & review

Hey Everyone!! - Here are some things that I've used up in the past couple of months, and I thought I'd share with you what I thought about them after using them for a while and if I'm going to re-purchase!!

Batiste dry shampoo - floral & flirty blush (200ml) // £2.99
This product is a life saver! I use it in between washes in my roots to make my hair appear fresher and  sometimes more voluminous. I have repurchased this many times before in a lot of different scents and so far this one is my favourite!

Pantene Aqua Light nourishing mist // £4.99
I love this product so much! It is the perfect detangler for my hair and leaves it so soft light weight, and smelling amazing. I wish it came in a bigger bottle as I used it every day and didn't talk long to run out. I would definitely re-purchase this product however they no longer sell it in boots and can't find it anywhere which is incredibly frustrating!!

Simple soothing facial toner //£2.99
I really enjoyed using this product, it does exactly what is says. I used it in the morning to refresh and waken my skin and evening to take off all remaining make up and dirt from my face that I missed. I would re-purchase this as it's a reasonable price and does the job.

Nivea pearl & beauty deodorant // £2.50
Bit of a bazaar thing to be talking about but I really love this deodorant!! - One thing I hate is spray deodorant, I think the smell is so overpowering and makes me feel sick when it all lingers in my room. On the other side I'm also not a fan of roll on deodorants as I find the ones I've tried leave my under arms wet and take forever to dry. So the perfect in between these is this kind of cream base deodorant which is soft and comfortable and smells lovely!

Simple vital vitamin - night cream //£5.60
I'm not obsessed with this cream but I do like it, I applied it once I had washed my face in the evening before bed. It took away that tight skin feeling and when I woke up my skin still felt moisturised however I didn't notice a change in my skin over night. Personally I don't think I will re-purchase this as I think my standard nivea soft does the job just as good.

Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation - 100 ivory //£8.99
I started using this foundation a while back before it became a huge 'drugstore beauty must have' and once it became popular I didn't really understand why. I have oily to combination skin and I don't think it suited me well. It did not stay put all day and I had to keep re touching my powder. Also the colour match was not great yet the same as my current foundation which works wonders as you can see here. Personally I won't be repurchasing this which is so disappointing as it has worked so well for so many others.

Carex aloe vera hand gel //£1.45
Pretty much the bog-standard boring hand sanitiser, I usually buy this on offer at 99p which is great as I go through it by the gallon (not literally!!) does the job and a must-have for me taking it every where!

The Body Shop Pink Grapefruit hand gel //£2.50
Can you imagine my excitement discovering two of my favourite things ever? (body shop grapefruit and hand sanitiser) I love this so much and it didn't take me long to use it up it smells amazing and I will most certainly repurchase!

Nivea Hydro care lip balm //£1.99
I find it unusual to actually be able to say I have finished a lip balm, I have so many they usually go missing, loose their smell or I just get bored of them and buy a new one. But this one I did finish (having used it all day every day!!) it took quite a while but I did! There's no scent, it's extra hydrating and easy to apply. Not the fanciest but simply great!

Intimately Beckham perfume//(price varies)
I really love this scent, I was able to wear it casually or on an occasion all year round. It smells so luxurious or sophisticated (of course they're the Beckhams!!) yet it's not heavy or overpowering. I would love to get this again.   

Soap & Glory Righteous Butter (50ml)//£2.50
I really love all things soap and glory and I picked this up on a 3 for 2 offer with hand maid and hand food from the 'mini' selection, this was great as I could keep it in my bag and use it through out the day. The smell is so amazing and it's so softening to the skin! I will always re-purchase soap and glory!

The Body Shop Grapefruit body butter (50ml)//£4
As I mentioned here this is one of my all time favourite body shop scents if not ever, I currently have the big version but have bought the small version a couple of times to taking places with me, it's just so fresh and summery and so nice to use!

Thanks for reading!!

Love, Ellen x
