March Empties



As the title suggests these products I have finished completely, and I will share them with you. I like reading these posts, as obviously if I have finished the products up all-together, then I must have liked using them (that and then I have an excuse for another shopping trip)!

Firstly, No7 ''Beautiful Skin Quick Thinking Wipes'' £7.00 for 30 from Boots, I absolutely love using these wipes to remove my makeup just before I cleanse and wash my face. Otherwise, if i'm feeling lazy (most the time) then I will only use these. They are fabulous and even make my face look fresh even if I haven't thoroughly washed it. Often in Boots the women there hands out leaflets offering £5.00 off all No7 skincare. YES. That means these wipes are only £2.00!! I couldn't live without these, and my skincare routine would be completely different without them. Some face wipes, in my opinion, make my face feel all greasy or tight but these wipes are the perfect balance. 3 or 4 packets I've been through now, they sure are good. I totally recommend them.

Next, LUSH ''Eau Roma Water'' Toner Water 100ml £3.95, this toner goes great with my skincare routine, I use this every single day and night! It lasts forever! Only now have I taken advantage of the better value bottle for 250ml at £7.50 (after buying two of the smaller ones), which I know I'll use up. Sometimes, when I use a face mask, or steam my face it becomes drier in areas, and this toner is great for evening out this problem. It refreshes my face, as well as making it feel completely smooth and soft. 

Maybelline Volum' Express Mascara £6.19, on the other hand, is on the ''not-so-sure'' list... I think it's the wand/brush shape I dislike, it's just quite small and (how to say this?) pathetic. I want a big, curvy brush that can provide lots of volume and length, so this mascara doesn't quite work for me, although I needed to use it up. Therefore, the name (Volume EXPRESS) doesn't fit either, in my opinion. 



Another Lush product (Lush always hit the nail on the head with skincare) is the Cosmetic Warrior Face Mask £6.95 75g. Lush say "A gentle and balancing fresh face mask with antibacterial tea tree and fresh garlic working together to cleanse. Fresh green grapes clean and cool the skin, whilst free range eggs tighten its texture and antimicrobial honey leaves it soft and moisturised. Smooth a generous layer of this mask onto your face and leave for 10 to 15 minutes." I couldn't agree with this more, this product is a m a z i n g. The smell is just (well if you hold your nose) bearable with garlic being a strong feature the scent might put you off. But, just wait until afterwards and your face will feel so much clearer. I can't live without this either. Purchased this little one twice now, and he'll be a favourite of mine for a while longer.

This is that one product everyone knows about, everyone talks about and honestly I'm bored of hearing about. The Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer £4.19 (in 01 Fair) has been a firm concealer choice of mine for a while now, I'm on my 3rd or 4th tube now (yes, I lose count). You know the deal with this, it's a great, last-lasting, non creasing, full power, budget concealer with a great light shade for (ghostly) pale people like me!

Thanks for reading, I hope you have added a couple of my favourites to your wishlist
