Best of the Rest


beauty products nivea garnier bed head revlon the balm trilogy carmex burts bees

Hi everyone, I have the last in my “series” of colour posts today featuring a mixture or ombre if you will of shades! I might come back to these in the future at some point as I’ve loved doing them!

Nivea Powerfruit Fresh Shower Gel with Revitalizing Acai Berry
I actually won this in a giveaway on Instagram a few months ago and I can’t get over how good it smells! I love Nivea Shower Gels but hadn’t tried this scent before and I’m obsessed! It’s so refreshing and it smells seriously amazing!  

This is probably a product you are sick of hearing me harp on about if you are a regular visitor here! It is a constant repurchase for me as it’s so effective at removing waterproof eye makeup while being super gentle! The bi phase solution works effortlessly to get my mascara and eyeshadow off in no time and I couldn’t be without this!  

I've had this for ages but don’t think I’ve ever spoken about it before! Not sure why as its one of my favourite hair products! I love the fruity scent but I love how thick and healthy it makes my hair look and feel more! It makes my split ends virtually disappear until my next wash and it doesn’t weigh my hair down despite being a cream!

Wet n Wild Megalast Salon Nail Colour in Through the Grapevine
This is unlike any other colour in my nail polish stash and one I love to put on my toenails! Lasting power is great and it’s such a lovely bright purple perfect for summer!  

This is probably my favourite lipstick ever and it features in a recent post about my most used makeup! It’s a corally pink colour in a shine formulation so it gives just a light hint of colour to my lips but really brightens up my face and doesn’t cling to dry patches! It does need to be topped up quite regularly throughout the day but doesn’t leave an outline mark round my lips and can easily be applied without a mirror!

Revlon Colourstay Gel Envy Nail Enamel in Pocket Aces
This is such a gorogeus, vibrant colour for summer! I don’t really wear colours like this on my finger nails but I love them on my toenails!

This is my favourite overnight lip treatment and one I always come back to, I way prefer it to the likes of Nuxe Reve de Miel and find it works so effectively on my lips to keep them hydrated overnight!

Ah, my favourite lip balm ever and I usually have 2 or 3 open at the same time dotted around the place or in my handbag! I love the minty scent and I find it really sorts out my dry lips and keeps them hydrated for a lot longer than other lip products!

Bourjois So Laque Nail Enamel in Rouge Escarpin
Everyone needs a classic red nail polish in their collection and this is mine! It’s a really bright red shade and I love it!

This is a product I have been showing a lot more love since I was picking out the items for this post! It’s a gorgeous deep matte brown shade that I use mainly to contour with! It’s so pigmented but looks so natural when it’s blended in and I find the packaging sturdy even though it’s cardboard!

I talked about this product recently too in my five things I’m loving post and it’s one of my favourite skincare products! It really helps with hydration and scarring issues I have with my skin and it’s a product I look forward to applying as I know my skin will look better in the morning for it!

What do you think of the products I’ve picked out? Did you enjoy this colour “series”?

Product Empties #8


product empties st moriz nivea white to brown soap and glory burt's bees dkny caudalie

It feels ages since my last empties post but I’ve gathered together a few more products I’ve finished up to give a quick rundown of!

product empties hair vo5 tigi

Hair
VO5 Refresh Me Quick Dry Shampoo
This gets a frequent mention in my empties and I spoke more in depth about it here but basically I love it and it’s my favourite dry shampoo! It can be quite hard to find at times (I usually get mine at Savers) and its smells really fresh and leaves no white cast! Constant repurchase!

Tigi Bed Head Mini Masterpiece Massive Shine Hairspray
This little bottle lasted me ages! It smells amazing like all Tigi products I’ve tried and while it wasn’t great for setting styles it did leave a good shine! I probably wouldn’t repurchase but would happily use it up if I got it in a set like this one!

product empties bodycare nivea white to brown st moriz tan

Body
Nivea Rich Moisturising Body Moisturiser*
I love the scent of this! It feels so moisturising and dries quickly into my body and it’s always on offer! I have a whole post on it here!

St. Moriz Instant Self Tanning Lotion Dark
This is one of my favourite fake tans! I find lotions wear off on me better and are more moisturising while the dark version gives me a perfect colour so I only need to apply once to be happy with how it develops and its lasts me around 4/5 days without going patchy. It wears off well but not as well as White to Brown but this will be forever repurchased especially as it's so cheap!

White to Brown Self-Tan
I got this in a set the Christmas before last and am only getting through it now! It’s a lotion which is my favourite form of fake tan; it smells good and leaves the perfect tan colour on my skin with no streaks! It’s more expensive than I usually go for so I wait to buy it when it’s on offer or in a set but it did last me ages and I was using it almost weekly! It also wears off really evenly! I have another bottle waiting to go that I got for Christmas!

product empties skincare caudalie garnier eye makeup remover pai chamomile shiseido ultimune

Skincare
Caudalie Grape Water
This was nice and refreshing but I didn't notice any skin benefits. I do have another one in my stash and will happily use it up but probably won't repurchase!

Garnier Express 2 in 1 Eye Makeup Remover
I’ve talked more about this here but basically if you are after a gentle but effective budget eye makeup remover you need to try this! Especially if you use waterproof mascara! It’s amazing and I have already repurchased!

Pai Chamomile and Rosehip Calming Day Cream
I got this free with a Beauty Bay order a while back and though I’m not a huge fan of the scent of this it kept my face hydrated and was the perfect size for travelling with so I usually kept it for when I was staying away! Probably wouldn’t repurchase the full size though.

Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate
I got this free in a Beauty Box ages ago and have used it so sparingly as I am obsessed with the scent! It smells so familiar to me for some reason though I’m not sure why! It doesn’t get the greatest reviews online as alcohol is a big ingredient in it but it made my skin feel nice and smooth and it sank in quickly! The full size is too expensive for me to repurchase but I loved using this up!

product empties revlon colorstay max factor burt's bees no7 powder soap and glory kick ass concealer

Makeup
Revlon Colorstay Foundation for Oily/Combination in Buff
This foundation and the next two products are all constant repurchases for me and feature in this post too! Rumour has it these are coming to Boots with a pump which is bound to please a lot of people! I’m actually more used to pouring foundation out than having a pump as a lot of my favourite foundations are just an open bottle so this doesn’t bother me! It’s a great full coverage foundation and Buff is a perfect colour match for me!

No7 Perfect Light Pressed Powder in Translucent
My favourite setting powder that mattifies my skin and doesn’t look cakey at all! I always repurchase this and like to buy it when No.7 have the £3 off vouchers! If you have oily skin you need to try this!

Soap and Glory Kick Ass Concealer in Light
This is one of my favourite concealers and has its own post here! It’s so handy for on the go as well as it has a mini powder compact and I have already repurchased!

Max Factor Intensifying Balm in 10 Charming Coral
This features in my first ever post (cringe) here! I love the subtle colour it gives to the lips but I found it a little drying after a while and I kept having to reapply which I think dired out my lips even more! I probably won't repurchase as it’s a little expensive but great for adding some colour and tint to the lips!

Burt’s Bees Beeswax Lipbalm
Another constant repurchase for me and I usually have two or three backups ready before I run out! I love the peppermint scent and this is instantly hydrating and long lasting!

product empties fragrance soap and glory mist you madly dkny be delicious

Fragrance
Soap and Glory Mist you Madly Body Spray x2
This has featured many times before as I use it all the time! It’s one of my favourite scents and these travel sizes are perfect for sticking in my hand bag or travelling with! I've already repurchased a big bottle and a travel size and I usually refill the travel sizes too!

DKNY Be Delicious
Another one of my favourite scents that has featured before in an empties before! This scent is so fresh and lasts all day on me and I already have a 50ml opened that I got for Christmas!

So that’s my empties this time around! Lots of familiar products that are constant repurchases for me! Let me know if you’ve tried anything and what you thought!
