November Empties

Hello my wee petals. I hope you have had a good weekend. My 'Girls Night Out' was cancelled on Friday. I was so disappointed, but oh well I guess it wasn't meant to be. Have any of you lovelies been enjoying the Xmas festivities yet? In today's post I want to show you the products that I have used up in November.

Face/Lips

Loreal Revitalift Anti Wrinkle And Firming Day Cream 

The Information: 

As skin ages, facial tissues weaken and skin looses its firmness and wrinkles become more prominent. L'Oreal Revitalift Anti Wrinkle and Firming Day Cream contains pro-retinol A and fibre-elastyl to plump and nourish skin reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. As a result of this advanced L’Oreal research facial contours become more defined and skin feels firmer, fuller and smoother. The luxuriously light texture is quickly absorbed without leaving any sticky residue, and is ideal as a base under make up. Use every morning for radiant skin. Contains pro-retinol and fibre-elastyl to nourish skin. Anti-ageing day cream. Luxurious light texture, easily absorbed without any sticky residue. 

Application:

After cleansing use L'Oreal Revitalift Anti Wrinkle and Firming Day Cream every morning on the face and neck. Avoid contact with the eyes. 

I have used this cream for many years. It smells good and feels comfortable on the skin. It's smooth and the night cream version of this found here feels amazing. I showed you this previously in my September Empties post as I had one at home and one at my boyfriend's. The day cream is currently being sold at Boots Pharmacy at a reduced price of £9.33 for 50ml.

Liz Earle Superskin Moisturiser 

The Information: 

This rich, luxurious, fragrance-free moisturiser for more mature or very dry skin contains a powerful blend of high quality naturally active ingredients to smooth, plump and replenish for healthy, rejuvenated-looking skin. Containing high levels of GLA and rich in omega-3, Superskin Moisturiser helps prevent moisture loss and improves skin elasticity, while pomegranate fruit extract and natural source vitamin E, both rich in antioxidants, help protect from environmental damage. Naturally active ingredients include precious cranberry, borage and rosehip seed oils. Suitable for mature/very dry skin. 

Application: 

Apply Superskin Moisturiser to face, neck and décolletage morning and night as part of your essential daily skincare regime.

For optimal results follow the specific facial massage techniques provided, to help clear toxins, reduce puffiness, boost circulation, encourage cell renewal and aid lymphatic drainage: 

Step 1: Apply to face with upward and outward movements using firm pressure.

Step 2: With your fingertips, lightly smooth in an outward circular direction along the cheekbones to above the eyebrows. 

Step 3: Using the thumb and ring finger gently pinch along the brow bone from the nose to the outer edge of the brow. 

Step 4: Finish by gently sweeping your hands up the neck and over the décolletage. 

This is a nice cream. My boyfriend bought this last June for me at my request as an anniversary present. Please see that post here. I like the packaging, but do I think it's worth the money? The simple answer for me is no. I would be happy to use this again if I received it as a gift, but I honestly do not think it improved my skin in any way. I have dry skin and a few wrinkles appearing. This cream did nothing more for my skin than the moisturiser above so I would rather buy the Loreal cream. Having said that it is a nice cream. This retails on the Liz Earle website at £12.75 for 15ml, £34.50 for 50ml or £100.50 for 3 x 50ml.

Ella Baché Crème Tomate Vitamin Radiance Cream

The Information:

This enriching cream contains extracts of fresh tomato which work naturally to purify, brighten & reveal a more vibrant complexion. 

Application:

Apply a pearl size amount between fingertips, pat onto face & massage in gently morning & evening. A delicious daily pick-me-up for your skin! 

I received this as part of my September Feelunique Beauty Box. Please see that post here. I like the luminous packaging of this product. This is a nice enough cream and I have heard that tomatoes are meant to be good for your skin, but at £35.00 for 50ml from feelunique I would not pay that price.  

Dermalogica Age Smart Renewal Lip Complex

The Information:

A daily lip treatment that minimizes contour lines and helps prevent the signs of aging. Contains no artificial fragrance or color.  

Application:

Apply to lips at least two times a day for lip health maintenance, or more frequently in periods of dryness or environmental exposure.

I received this product in my October GlossyBox. Please find that post here :) This felt smooth on application. The sample only lasted a few days as I have extremely dry lips that are always cracking and peeling. This did not improve the condition of my lips, but I kind of hoped it wouldn't as at £22.50 for 1.75ml it's a very expensive product. I would not buy this item.

Body

Fragrant Flowers Rose Body Butter

I received this from a friend as part of a gift set last Xmas. I have seen something similar in Superdrug this year so I'm not sure if that is where it was from? Here is the link to that gift set here. It's a nice cream with a soft rose scent. It's looser than some body butters, but still a nice texture like a cream.

Hello Kitty Cherry Body Butter

My Mum bought this for me in Poundland a few months ago. I can't find it on the website I'm afraid which is a real shame as I love it. The scent is amazing. I have never noticed any cherry body creams around and this scent just stands out for me. I had to get my boyfriend to open this for me which left a small dent in the tin, but it's forgiven. I would purchase this if they still sell it.

Soap & Glory The Righteous Body Butter

The Information:

Soap & Glory The Righteous Butter Body Butter is a smooth, creamy, and velvety intense body lotion. With skin softening shea butter and aloe vera to attract moisture, some folks think it's a bit addictive!

Application:

Butter yourself up: After showering or bathing, smooth a generous handful of Soap & Glory The Righteous Butter onto damp skin and massage gently until it sinks in.  Then relax and take in the wonderful aroma's of leafy greens, bergamot and mandarin, with a floral and fruity middle note that makes your nose tingle a little, followed by soft, sexy, musk, oakmoss, amber and woody notes. Soap & Glory formulas are not tested on animals, only very picky people.

I received this as part of a gift set last Xmas. This also has a great scent to it. Gorgeous. It's a really nice cream that I would be happy to use again. 

Body/Scent

Superdrug Essential Anti-Perspirant Deodorant

This product is from Superdrug's essential range. This can is pretty big. The scent is really nice and I think great value for money. I can not find this product on the website, but I am almost 100% sure that this only cost 69p. I will be buying this product again. 

Superdrug Flirty Bodyspray

This is again from Superdrug and it looks to be from their Essential range as it has the wee star on. This is a lovely scent. Very day to night. Please see my post here where I purchased this product and a couple of the other scents in this range. I would buy this again. This is great value at just 99p for 75ml. 

Burberry Body Eau De Parfum Spray

I received this sample in my October Feelunique Beauty Box. This is a nice perfume that I was happy to wear. Please see all information on this product in my original post here.

Bvlgari Mon Jasmin Noir Eau De Parfum Spray

I received this sample as part of my November Feelunique Beauty Box. I really like this perfume and got complimented when wearing it. I would be happy to receive this for Xmas. Please see full information on this product in my original post here.

Make-Up

E.L.F. Studio Makeup Mist & Set

The Information:

The lightweight, comfortable and alcohol free formula improves makeup wearability and prevents color from running or fading.

Application:

After you have applied your makeup spray a light mist 12-16 inches from your face with eyes closed to set your makeup in place or use for a quick touchup throughout the day to refresh your makeup. Let it dry naturally or blot with a tissue to help speed dry.

I have already purchased this a few times. I have already replaced this bottle. Please see full information of this product in my E.L.F. haul post here. At £3.50 for 60ml this is great value for money.

Avon Magix Cashmere Finish Foundation, Avon Mattifying Foundation & Avon Calming Effects Illuminating Foundation

Please see my post where I tested out these foundations here.

Nails

Pretty Nails Nail Polish Remover With Acetone. 

I am really sorry as I am not sure where this product was purchased from. My Mum picked it up for me. The bottle is an unusual shape as it bends in at one side and out at the other. I would not recommend this product as it was rubbish at removing nail polish even with it containing acetone. 

Opia Primark Nail Laquer In Black

This nail laquer has a rubber lid which is good. I have had this now for 2/3 years and it has only just gone gloopy. The brush is a bit small, but it was very cheap at around £2.00 I think. Primark don't have this on their webiste so I can't be sure.

What products have you used up in November? Any good or bad?

Love to you all
