Empties #2

Morning chicas!

So, I didn't actually do a post for my last empties,  but you can watch it here if you would like :)

This is my second lot of empties, there's quite a lot, and this is going to be a pretty lengthy, picture heavy post! Apologies in advance ;)


Little bubble co vanilla biscuit, Philosophy snow angel, Britney Spears cosmic radiance

1- I go through these allll the time! The little bubble co are my HG bath foam/shower gels, but I can't decide on  my number 1 fave out of vanilla biscuit, mint candy or ginger bread. Yum :)
Highly recommend, will repurchase.
2- My first ever Philosophy product! Expensive for what it is, but smelt divine. Very cool, crisp but also sweet. Not so great as a bubble bath, but lovely as a shower gel :)
Would recommend, and repurchase, but probably a bigger size.
3-Britney never fails me, in terms of music or perfume! With top notes of mandarin, litchi and pear, middle notes of peony and tuberose,  and base notes of amber and vanilla, this is a lovely daytime fragrance. To me, it smells comforting, and even homely?! 
Would recommend, and repurchase,  but I'm not in a rush to do so.
 

 Superdrug shampoo and conditioner, Superdrug dry shampoo
1, 2 & 3- Superdrug own brand shampoos and conditioners in Coconut and sweet almond, Tea tree and peppermint and Cherry and fig, These are amazing. Super cheap, and work just as well as any more expensive brand. They all smell amazing, and my whole family loves them :)
Would highly recommend, would repurchase, and I always have backups!
4&5-  For me, this is better than Batiste. It refreshes my hair, disguises grease, and gives it volume. 
Would recommend, and have repurchased many times!


Organix coconut serum, Percy and Reed hair mask, Lush Mint julips, Body Shop chocomania lip butter 
1- I've been through two bottles of this, and love it. Smells delicious, leaves hair soft and smooth, isn't expensive and lasts a long time. 
Would recommend, and repurchase.
2- Percy and Reed hydrating mask- This also smelt amazing, like fruit salad sweets!This left my hair smooth and silky, and smelling nice, but wasn't amazing, or better than any other mask. Full size is £20.
Wouldn't really recommend, and wouldn't repurchase at £20!
3-  Beautiful product! Smells (and tastes!) like after eight mints, leaves lips smooth and free of dry patches. The only down side is that I find it doesn't last very long.
Would recommend, and repurchase (but I am going to attempt to make my own first!)
4- Body shop chocomania lip butter- This is another fabulously smelling product! Really enjoyed using this, but it didn't give me the long term hydration that my dry lips need. Also, left a white cast on my lips.
Would recommend to those who don't have really dry lips, wouldn't repurchase but did enjoy.


Garnier 2 in 1 makeup remover, Soap and Glory peaches and clean, Boots double faced oval pads.
1-  My  HG eye makeup remover! Doesn't sting at all, takes of waterproof makeup really quickly and is just amazing! 
Would really recommend, and will definitely repurchase!
2-  Used this to take of my makeup before my cleanser, but didn't find it took off all my foundation easily. This smell was overpowering, sometimes I liked it, but mostly I found it too much. This can also cause photo-sensitivity, which isn't great!
Wouldn't recommend, wouldn't repurchase.
3- Boots oval pads- Not much to say on these! They're really big, and I find one is enough for both of my eyes. They never fall apart like some cotton pads!
Would recommend, and repurchase, have 3 backup packets at the moment! 


Effaclar duo, Freederm fast track, Revlon colorstay, St Ives scrub.
1- La Roche Posay Effaclar duo. This is basically a fancy spot cream. It's pretty expensive, I didn't notice it to stop any spots or unclog my pores. It also felt quite uncomfortable on my skin, and balled up underneath foundation or moisturiser. 
Wouldn't recommend (but everyone's skin is different!), and I wouldn't repurchase.
2-  Didn't notice this took away redness, reduced my spots or unclogged my pores. This wasn't expensive though.
Wouldn't recommend (but everyone's skin is different!), and wouldn't repurchase.
3- Revlon colorstay foundation in Ivory. This is my dream foundation. Flawless coverage, matte but not mask like, and lasts alllll day! Unfortunately, this is nowhere near pale enough for me: :(
Would recommend for those not as pale as me, wouldn't repurchase unless they brought out lighter shades!
4- I tried this out recently, as I remembered loving it when I was a teen. I'm not sure if my skin has changed, or if the formula has changed, but this is way too harsh for my skin now. Smells nice though.
Would recommend if you want a heavy duty scrub, but wouldn't repurchase.

Feel free to link to me to empties posts, anyone use any of these up?
Thanks for reading! :)

My Perfume Collection.

Hey guys, 
today I'm going to write about my perfume collection. I was going to do a blusher collection, but I could only find two, and that's not much of a collection!

When it comes to perfume, I tend to prefer really sweet smelling ones, and vanilla is my favourite scent. I'm not very good at describing how things smell, but I'll have a bash!

Firstly, my all time faves, anything by Britney Spears! Not only do I love the woman herself, every perfume she brings out is an instant hit with me!

These are the ones I have with me at the moment, from left to right, Britney Spears Cosmic Radiance, Midnight Fantasy 100ml and 30ml, Fantasy, and Circus Fantasy.
  • Cosmic Radiance- According to the Britney website, the main noticeable notes in this fragrance are citrus, vanilla, musk , sandalwood and amber. To the untrained nose, (i.e mine), when I smell this I think of fabric softener. That doesn't sound particularly pleasing as a perfume, but I really like it. It's a very fresh and comforting smell. I didn't think I'd like this as much as the previous perfumes, because it's not as sugary sweet or strong scented, but this is very nice for an every day, daytime perfume, and I feel It's quite a grown up smell.
  • Midnight Fantasy- This is my favourite perfume ever and I repurchase this every time it runs out! Again according to the website, the main notes are sour cherry, plum, vanilla, freesia, amber and musk. To me, this is very sweet and vanilla-y but in a kind of dark, musky, slightly sour (but nice!), way...I'm so bad at describing scents! I know some people find this a bit much for day time, and just wear it at night, but It's not something I've got a problem with.
  • Fantasy- Main notes are white chocolate, kiwi, red litchi, orchid and jasmine. This is quite like midnight fantasy, but less sour and musky. Very sweet again, and quite a heavy scent, it's definitely not a subtle scent! Love it. 
  • Circus Fantasy- When I first got this one I didn't like it all, but it's definitely grown on me. It's still quite sweet, but in more of a fruity way than the other fantasy perfumes. Main notes are raspberry, apricot, vanilla and orchid. This one kind of reminds me of a shampoo, I'm not sure why, but it's not as strong or noticeable as the other Fantasy's, it's definitely more subtle. 
Next, I've got two of the Harajuku Lovers perfumes, which I wanted mainly because the bottles and packaging were so cute! 

The two I've got are Love and Lil' Angel, I totally want some more though, they look totally cute on any vanity/cabinet/other furniture! 
  • Love- according to the net, the main notes are peach, jasmine, vanilla and rose. To me, this does smell quite floral, and the rose scent is pretty noticeable. This is light and subtle, really nice, but nothing special!
  • Lil' Angel- Main notes are pineapple, raspberry, blackcurrant, violet and rose. This is very sweet, juicy and fruity, and doesn't smell like anything else i've tried. I think I might pop out and buy some more of this soon, doing this post has reminded me how much I liked it!

Next, I've got Nina by Nina Ricci.


  • Main notes apparently, are green apple, praline, lemon and peony. This is quite a musky, floral smell, and I really like it, but unfortunately I don't think it smells very nice on me! One of my best friends, Heather, has worn this ever since I've known her, it really suits her and everytime I get a whiff of it I think of her!
 A recent purchase, was a set of three mini Juicy Couture rollerballs, which I bought because I was interested in trying some new perfumes, and it was on sale in Boots for £4!

As you can see, I've managed to lose one of the perfumes, which is annoying as it was the one I liked the most!
  • Viva La Juicy- Main notes are caramel, vanilla, praline, mandarin and honeysuckle. This is my favourite, I really love this! Its sweet and warm, and just lovely to wear!
  • Couture Couture- Main notes are plum, jasmine, honeysuckle and orange flower. I'm not a massive fan on this, just because I prefer overly sweet, girly perfumes, and this smells quite grown up and heavy.
  • Juicy Couture- Main notes ruberose, lily, watermelon and caramel. I like this one alot more than couture couture, but I still don't find myself reaching for this very often. This is more floral and sweet than Couture couture, and seems to sit a lot better on my skin. 
Last, but certainly not least, my most recent fragrance purchase, Dior's Hypnotic Poison.

  • Hypnotic Poison- The main note in this is vanilla which is probably why I love it so much! Other main notes are almond, coconut and sandalwood. This is the most expensive perfume I own, and I spent months lusting over it before I took the plunge and just got it! This is really dark and musky, and makes me think of ice cream, and all things sweet, but in a slightly more grown up way than Britney Spears' Fantasy. This last's all day on the skin, and is just perfect! The bottle is absolutely gorgeous and luxurious looking as well!
So, that's the end of my perfume collection, I hope I wasn't too rubbish at describing them! I'm off out to buy Harajuku Lovers Lil' Angel, I'm obsessed with pineapple at the moment, and this has pineaple in it, so maybe that's why I've fallen so in love with it doing this post!
Thanks for reading :)
