May Empties 2015 .
Heyy I'm back with another empties post. I only do this every 2 months simply because it's hard for me to use up a lot of products in a month so usually I keep them till I have enough so approximately 2 months.
Anywaysss, let's begin. I've got a lot of skin care & hair care products this time so let's get onto it.
I'll provide links to the skin care & hair care products that I've used up in this post too, as for the rest, I think it's pretty general products . :)
Left to Right : Boots Tea Tree Witch Hazel Charcoal Mask, Boots Cucumber Facial Wash, Simple Clear Skin Oil Balancing Moisturiser, Garnier Anti-Imperfections Cleansing Gel, No7 Soft & Soothed Gentle Toner.
Reviews:
* Boots Tea Tree Witch Hazel Charcoal Mask : 'Great for a simple mask to help clear impurities and make your skin feels soft and smooth. Doesn't really help clear acne in my opinion but it does moisturise my skin after too which I like'.
*Boots Cucumber Facial Wash : 'A friend recommended this for me to try out and I wasn't expecting much to be honest but what she said was true , it does make your skin feels soft, refreshed and it's a gentle , easy to use cleanser. It's a gel texture and it doesn't dry or make your skin feel really stripped which I love. Got a second bottle because I'm addicted to the way it makes my skin feel'.
*Simple Clear Skin Oil Balancing Moisturiser : 'Love the texture of this moisturiser (a thick coating feel which I love), it sinks in fast, doesn't clog my pores or make my face looks oily. The downside is that, it doesn't moisturize your skin for long. So you do have to re-apply to keep the moisture levels up'.
* Garnier Cleansing Gel : 'It does help prevent further blemishes from forming which I like but because its a gel, it does give you that squeaky clean feel after using them , so make sure you do moisturise your skin after. Otherwise if you're looking for something that makes your face feel clean and help prevent future breakouts - try this one out'.
*No7 Soft & Soothed Gentle Toner : 'I liked the packaging of the No7 product and I like this toner because of the contents. There's no alcohol in there and it's all soothing ingredients which is good for your skin. It helps remove impurities and it doesn't strip your skin. The downside is probably the price but if you have coupons for it, it's worth =)'

Left to Right : Dove Fresh Shower Cream , Radox Moisturise Shower Cream , Radox Bath Salts.
Reviews:
* Dove Fresh Shower Cream : 'To be honest, I like the Dove Shower Cream, really moisturising and the scents aren't too overpowering or strong which is great. It just gets a bit hard to squeeze everything out towards the end but that's every kind of shower cream that has similar packaging.'
* Radox Moisturise Shower Cream : 'This was quite disappointing simply because, it didn't feel like I was using anything to help with my skin. In terms of moisturising it, it didn't do that but overall, it's just a simple shower cream. Nothing much else to say really'.
*Radox Bath Salts : 'Reason why I got this was because of a walkathon that I attended and I needed something to soak in to help ease the muscle pain. This helped a little, but I wouldn't say it stopped the pain but it did help ease it for a bit. =) So for the price, it's worth. Just careful not to get the water in your eye - it stings'.

Left to Right : Colgate Maximum Cavity Protection Toothpaste, Aquafresh Complete Care Toothpaste, Colgate Total Mouthwash.
Reviews:
* Colgate Maximum Cavity Protection : 'Like any other toothpaste, I can't see any difference besides whitening. The thing with Colgate that I seem to have with all variations of this brand is that, it feels like it strips the enamel of my teeth which makes me feel that it's not the proper way of protecting your teeth'
*Aquafresh Complete Care : 'I prefer Aquafresh and OralB when it comes to brands of toothpaste. With this complete care, it seems to do the job - cleaning, whitening without the strip feeling. The thing is, the lasting of fresh breath doesn't last. I'll be real, so that was the downside for me.'
*Colgate Total Mouthwash : 'Surprisingly this mouthwash isn't so strip feeling compared to some of the Listerine range, also, it doesn't burn your tongue if you hold it for like 5 secs which is what you need to gargle. It leaves your mouth feeling fresh, clean and it helps whiten your teeth too, so overall, this product ain't too bad '.
Left to Right: Loreal Elnette Hairspray (Smooth) , Aussie Beach Mate 3 Minute Miracle Mask, Loreal Elvive Triple Resist Shampoo , Colab Dry Shampoo (Paris) , Batiste Dry Shampoo (Original)
Reviews:
*Loreal Elnette Hairspray - 'This is my first ever Loreal Elnette hairspray and after hearing so much about it, I kinda like this surprisingly. First off, I hate hairsprays because it always makes my hair so crispy but this doesn't make it crispy to the point where it frizzes up your hair. It smells great and it holds it in place. Maybe not as strong as those 'strong' hairsprays but it's enough for everyday use. I've got a bigger bottle of it now.'
*Aussie Beach Mate 3 Minute Miracle Mask - 'I like this hair mask, the Aussie brand so far has work well for me, it lasted very long too before it finished. It made my hair wavy, and form into its natural texture and shape which I liked. It makes my hair tamed, smooth and sleek too which I love. I used this instead of conditioner and I like what it does to my hair - really recommend this brand!'
*Loreal Elvive Triple Resist Shampoo : 'First time range with L'oreal Shampoo as well, and I wanted something to strengthen my hair because brushing it often makes it drop, so I needed something to help. It does strengthen but then again, it's not much effect seen in my opinion. I like the smell though and it does makes my hair smooth too which is great. If it's ever on discount, it's a good range to try out. I'm currently using the Smooth Polish one and I like it, really helps! =) '
*Colab Dry Shampoo in Paris - 'Did a review about this not long ago, will link it below. Basically, ever since I tried this brand out by Ruth Crilly, I loved it and has converted myself onto it too! I can see a difference and I like how it doesn't make my hair crispy & no white marks!'
*Batiste Dry Shampoo - 'One thing I gotta say which is the instant difference I notice with Batiste and Colab is that, with Batiste, it works instantly whereas with Colab, it works best overnight. In terms of taking away greasiness, if you're on the go, I'd say, Batiste is still good at that but for something to prevent greasiness from occuring - go with Colab'.

Left to Right : Loreal Eye & Lip Make Up Remover, Sally Hansen Double Duty Base & Top Coat.
Reviews:
* Loreal Eye & Lip Make Up Remover : 'First time using this and I wasn't expecting much. To my surprised, it really cleared my eye make up off even waterproof mascara and my lipsticks too. It's an emulsion of both water & oil layer and I thought it's gonna leave that greasy feeling after but it didn't. It didn't hurt my eyes and it didn't leave me greasy which is great. Definitely would repurchase it - recommend.
*Sally Hansen Double Duty Base & Top Coat : 'Love the texture of this as a top coat, really coats the nail thickly and it gives a nice glossy shine to it. Makes my nail polish last longer too. Lasts really long . The downside, because it's so thick in texture, it's hard to finish every last drop of it. '

So that pretty much sums it up. I know it's been a long post but I wanted to thoroughly give you my feedback on these products too. These are however my opinion (just to make it clear) , it may work different for you so just thought I should put it out there. :)
Otherwise, have a good day,
and I'll see you soon.
