Helloo once again, it's time for another EMPTIES ^^ and I've got tons of things to share with you - so much that I'm soo excited. BEWARE : LONG post ahead!

Let's get to it then : July Empties 2015
Left - Right :
a)NYC Smooth Skin Primer ~ Cream texture, makes your make up last a bit longer and great for those with dry skin.
b) Body Shop Aloe Lip Care ~ 2nd tube in my life and it's my winter MUST have! Took me ages to finish but it's one of those lip balms that rich, nourishing, and doesn't chapped your lips even more.
c) Carmex Lip Pot Lipbalm ~ One of my favourite Carmex's product. I prefer the Body Shop Aloe Lip Care better but if you ever run out of options, it's not too bad for an everyday use lip balm. =)
d) No 7 Beautiful Skin Make Up Wipes ~ Suprisingly , this product blew me away. Took off waterproof mascara, cleared all my make up and didn't 'stripped' my skin . Impressed & totally recommend.
e) Body Shop Vitamin E Overnight Serum Oil ~ Makes your skin feels so soft while improving your skin's texture, pigmentation, and moisture levels. Last for ages as well.. and oh yeah .. gives you a glowy plump skin in the morning - no kidding. Definitely worth a try!
f) Boots Essentials Cucumber Eye Gel ~ Packed with cucumber goodness to help remove those puffiness underneath your eyes , does its job but effect doesn't last as long . However if you're looking for something to refresh your eyes - it's an affordable choice to have!

Left -- Right:
a) Nivea In Shower Moisturiser ~ Great for an everyday use moisturizer. Leaves a film-like feeling so if you're into that kind of feeling, give this a go and it does make your feel soft.
b) Radox Revive Shower Gel ~ Citrus smell shower gel and a great one to wake you up in the morning.
c) Radox Mango Mayhem Shower Gel ~ Among all the Radox range of shower gel, this is my favourite one . If you love mangoes, this scent is lovely. Not too strong that it's sickening but it's just right that it's refreshing.
d) Nivea Free time Shower Cream ~ Nivea's range of shower cream are a great range if you're looking for great smells + moisturised skin + affordable. :)
e) Sanex Moisturising Dermo Oils Shower Gel ~ My first ever Sanex shower gel I've ever used & it's not bad but I realized I prefer to have fragrance when it comes to my shower gels. However if you have sensitive skin to fragrance, this is really good as it contains oils to help leave your skin moisturised and clean. =)

Left --- Right :
a) Tetley Green Tea ~ Love how the tea bag comes in a triangle sachet with a string attached. Makes it easier to soak in your cup in the morning.
b) PG tips ~ Can't live without caffeine . Took me a while to finish this 40 tea bags box but I did it in the end . #perfectingtheperfecttea. :P

Left --- Right:
a) Optrex Multi Action Eye Wash ~ First time ever trying an eye wash , feels weird with liqiud swishing in your eyes while your eyes are open. But it does refresh them & hydrate them a little bit. Definitely a good one if you're looking for something to flood your eye for a bit to cleanse your eye especially during this hayfever period!
b) PS Love Hand Sanitizer ~ Primark's range hand sanitizer, affordable & it works - need I say more? Also, it doesn't have strong alcohol scent which is great!
c) Yankee Candle (Snowflake Cookie) ~ A box I've had since Christmas & I'm finally done with it. Smells really great, similar to dusted icing sugar cookies. =) Definitely one I had to save myself from lighting it to make it last.
d) Pretty Quik Instant Nail Polish Remover ~ It has a sponge in it soaked with nail polish remover & for once, it really does what it says. Remove polishes in a few swipes, lasts for quick a while before it starts to deteriorate. Also, helps with glitter polishes =) Definitely would repurchase this.

Left --- Right :
a) Hello Pink Grapefruit Mouthwash ~ First time I've tried from their range - suprisingly, it's quite sweet but refreshingly sweet. It does not have any alcohol so it doesn't sting your gums or strip your teeth so it's completely gentle & it leaves your breath smelling like grapefruits :)
b) Oral B Complete Toothpaste ~ Oral B is a brand I'm starting to like as a toothpaste, I love how it bubbles just right and it makes brushing your teeth feels clean & refresh.
c) Sensodyne Gentle Whitening Toothpaste ~ Great for sensitive teeth, great for it's whitening action - I definitely saw a difference which is great. However, it does not bubble/froth & also it leaves a slight sweet taste which I don't really fancy. But other than that, it's a good toothpaste - I see why people like it so much.
d) Hello Mojito Breath Spray ~ Bought it together with the mouthwash on offer, so thought I'd try. A nice refreshing taste to cleanse your mouth, really refreshing taste and not too minty. A really cute thing to carry around especially if you're someone who talks a lot ;)

Left --- Right:
a) Clearasil Ultra Blemish Face Scrub ~ Contains beads to scrub your dead skin cells away. Does leave your skin feeling cleanse, clear and refreshed. However, I've got to mention about the packaging. It's really hard to use it up completely because it gets really slippery in the shower making it hard to squeeze it out of the tube. Other than that, it's a good one to clear up acne skin .
b) Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water ~ After so many months of using it to remove my make up, I can officially say I'm done with this product. Last so long & its great for taking off make up. For me, I prefer the Loreal Micellar Water but I do notice, this is less harsh compared to the Loreal. =)
c) Simple Soothing Toner ~ A drugstore toner that does not contain alcohol . =) Affordable & tones the face, keeps acne at bay which is good. My only concern with this is ...it doesn't 'cleanse' very well , it doesn't remove dirt from your pores very well. It is great for a general toner but if you're looking for more specific uses, there's more better options.
d) Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser ~ Second bottle for me and I love it. It's one of my holy grail cleansers whenever my acne is playing up. It's soap-free, so it's great for sensitive skin and it's so gentle that it doesn't dry out the skin hence locking it moisture , preventing skin flare ups.

Left --- Right :
a) Lip Glosses (down below)
b) Boots Essentials Foot Spray ~ A nice affordable cooling foot spray that smells of peppermint. Great after a long day of walking. Really refreshing.
c) Nivea Extra Whitening Deodorant ~ Like the smell of this deodorant , its a subtle floral scent and does not smell powdery which is really nice for an everyday use. Helps with whitening as well as being an antiperspirant. Surprisingly , it's better than those spray-ons.
Top --- Bottom:
a) Mary Kay Lip Gloss ~ This is a sample I've got a few years ago, it's formula isn't too bad except maybe it clumps onto your dry patches on your lips. The colour and pigmentation is great. It's texture is sticky but it goes on thick on your lips which coats it really nice. Definitely worth looking onto Mary Kay's lipgloss. It's formula is one of a kind.
b) Sleek Gloss Me Lip Glosses ~ I've got this for a year and I had to discard this partly because it's old and secondly, it dries out on my lips. It becomes tacky and it clings to my dry parts , so after 2 hours of wear, I just feel like rubbing it off because it doesn't fade very nice. It is also very sticky so it doesn't feel very nice for a gloss. So I wouldn't really recommend this range of sleek lip glosses simply because I think there are better ranges out there in the drug store.
