February 2012 Empties

Hello my Gorgeous Loves. I have a lot of products to show you that I used up in February so I will get straight to it.



Face







 Left To Right: Simply Pure Make-up Remover Wipes, Hello Kitty Wet Wipes, 2 packs of Primark Cotton Wool Pads, 2 packs of Superdrug 100% Cotton Wool Round Pads, Link :)



Simply Pure Make-up Remover Wipes



I received these wipes as part of my Xmas presents. Please see that post here. I have bought these before from the 99p Stores. These are sometimes sold as a pack on it's own or as 2 or 3 packs together, each containing 20 or 25 wipes. I sometimes use these on my face if I'm in a real rush, but mostly to give my make-up brushes a quick wipe each day after use. 



Hello Kitty Wet Wipes



I also received these as part of my Xmas presents. Please find that post here. I am not sure where these are from, but they work just as well for the uses as above. They are also Hello Kitty so bonus :)



2 packs of Primark Cotton Wool Pads



These came as part of my Xmas presents also. Please see that post here. The two packs came as one. I am not sure of their cost, but I wouldn't buy these for 1p. I have never known cotton wool pads like them. They fall apart as you use them leaving flakes of the pad all over your face. I spent more time removing that than the the dirt and make-up I was trying to remove initially. DO NOT BUY THESE EVER!!



2 packs of Superdrug 100% Cotton Wool Round Pads ~ £1.69 for 1 pack containing 100 pads



These pads work just fine. I would much rather use these than the Primark ones. These are currently on offer at 2 packs for £2.49.







Left To Right: Simple Kind To Skin Pore Minimising Toning Cleanser, Link :), Johnson's Baby Oil, Liz Earle Superbalm, Link :), No7 Protect & Perfect Beauty Serum, Link :), Clarins Extra-Firming Day Cream, Link :)



Simple Kind To Skin Pore Minimising Toning Cleanser



I could not find this on the Superdrug website so I'm not sure of the current price. Please see my December Empties post for my thoughts on this product, Link :) 



Johnson's Baby Oil



I either picked this up in the 99p Stores or Poundland. I have been using this as a cleanser/make-up remover. I would only recommend this if you are not going to apply make-up though so perhaps only at night as I don't think it would be a good base for make-up. The bottle does tend to leak if I knock it over which can be a pain. I have used it as a body moisturiser a couple of times too. 



Liz Earle Superbalm ~ £5.00 For 5g/£16.25 For 30g From lizearle.com



I received this product as part of my Anniversary present from my boyfriend last year. Please see that post here. I did not like using this on my lips as it did nothing for me. My lips are very sensitive and flaky and it did not remedy this so instead I used this on my face as a scrub. The texture and scent when applied to the face may not be for everyone, but I found it good to use as a face scrub as the granules are not harsh.



No7 Protect & Perfect Beauty Serum ~ £19.50 From Boots Pharmacy & boots.com for 30ml



Please see my December Empties post where I previously reviewed this product, Link :)



Clarins Extra-Firming Day Cream ~ £46.00 for 50ml from clarins.co.uk



I received this product in my January GlossyBox. Please see that post here. This is a nice cream, but I would not pay this price for it.



Body






Left To Right: Radox Limited Edition Eastern Spirit Shower Therapy, Link :), Radox Moisture Boost Shower Cream, Link :), Mitchell & Peach English Growers Shower Wash, Link :), Sweet Snuggles Chocolate Vanilla Shower Cream, Gorgeous By Gok Body Wash



Radox Limited Edition Eastern Spirit Shower Therapy ~ £1.99 For 250ml from boots.com



I received this as part of my Xmas presents also. Please see that post here. If you like a bit of an exotic scent to your shower gel then you will probably like this. It is Limited Edition though so stock up if you like it :)



Radox Moisture Boost Shower Cream ~ £1.99 For 250ml From boots.com



I also received this as part of my Xmas presents. Please find that post here. I used this product before receiving it for Xmas too. It has a very creamy, subtle scent to it.



Mitchell & Peach English Growers Shower Wash ~ £20 For 250ml from mitchellandpeach.com



I received this product as part of my December JolieBox. Please see that post here. It's an okay scent, but not very distinctively girly. I do not think it's worth the price.



Sweet Snuggles Chocolate Vanilla Shower Cream



I received this as part of my Xmas presents as well. Please find that post here. This smells exactly as described. Really nice and I like the packaging too. I know this range had lots of products in Superdrug at Xmas, but I can't find this now on the website.



Gorgeous By Gok Body Wash



Yet again I received this for Xmas. Please see that post here. This range has come out for the last couple of years at Xmas and I love it. The scent of this is gorgeous and I would be happy to receive products from this range every year :)






 Left To Right: Sanctuary Body Scrub, Link :)Link :), Sweet Treats Raspberry Bath Salts, 2 Cans of Superdrug Essential Anti-Perspirant Deodorant, Etro Fragrance (Musk), Link :), Eau De Soap & Glory Parfum, Link :)



Sanctuary Body Scrub ~ £5.25 For 200ml From thesanctuary.co.uk Or boots.com



I received this product one Xmas before I started blogging. It is a nice body scrub with a very natural scent. The granules are not too harsh on the skin.



Sweet Treats Raspberry Bath Salts



I also received this for Xmas. Please see that post here. I don't think this product is available any longer, sorry. I love the little spatula used to sprinkle this in my bath. The scent is really nice, but I do miss bath bubbles with this product. Cute packaging though.



Superdrug Essential Anti-Perspirant Deodorant



I received these 2 products as part of my Xmas gifts also. Please see that post here. I was purchasing this product myself prior to Xmas already. Please find my previous review of this product here. I could not find it on the website, but this product is available from Superdrug.



Etro Fragrance (Musk) ~ £61.50 For 50ml/£79.50 For 100ml From houseoffraser.co.uk



I received this product in my November GlossyBox. Please find that post here. This is a nice scent, but I'm not crazy about it. I don't think it's worth the price to be honest.



Eau De Soap & Glory Parfum ~ £16.50 For 50ml From soapandglory.com



I purchased this product in a January sale some time ago from asos.com as part of a gift set. I think the bottle is adorable. I would say the scent is sexy with a powdery old-school feel.






Left To Right: Deadsea Spa Magik Silky Smooth Body Lotion, Link :), Sweet Snuggles Creme Caramel Body Cream, Hello Kitty Liberty Body Butter, Gorgeous By Gok Rich Moisturising Body Butter, Di Palomo White Grape & Aloe Body Butter, Link :)




Deadsea Spa Magik Silky Smooth Body Lotion ~ £7.60 For 350ml From Amazon



I received this product in my November Boudoir Prive box. Please see that post here. It's a nice enough body lotion with a very subtle scent.



Sweet Snuggles Creme Caramel Body Cream



I again received this for Xmas. Please see that post here. I really love this scent. You can really notice the caramel aroma. Unfortunately I think this was just available from Superdrug for Xmas.



Hello Kitty Liberty Body Butter



I received this product for Xmas too. Please find that post here. This is a very pretty scent and I love the packaging. This product was a bit looser then some body butters can be. I'm not keen on digging my fingers into body butters/creams, but this was a nice body butter. Unfortunately this is no longer available from Boots Pharmacy as I think it was just a Xmas promo.



Gorgeous By Gok Rich Moisturising Body Butter



I received this for Xmas again. That post is in the link here. As I have mentioned I adore this range. The scent is just amazing. I prefer creams not in tubs, but this product is lovely. Great packaging and a great scent. This range appears to only come out at Xmas with Boots Pharmacy.



Di Palomo White Grape & Aloe Body Butter ~ £15.00 For 200ml



I was sent this product for free to review! Please see my First Impressions post here. If you don't scoop this product out and for instance just use it as a hand cream this would last you almost forever. The White Grape & Aloe range from Di Palomo is great for someone who does not like heavy scents. This cream is very thick like a wax almost so if you hate cream under your nails like me then this specific product is not for you and it would probably be better to go for something like the body lotion with a pump dispenser, Link :)



Body, Dental, Hand/Nail






Left To Right: Boots Smooth Sensitive Care Shave Gel, Link :), Oral-B Complete Extra White, Link :)Link :),  Di Palomo Orange Blossom With Wild Honey & Olive Enriching Hand & Nail Cream, Link :)



Boots Smooth Sensitive Care Shave Gel ~ £2.85 For 200ml From Boots Pharmacy & boots.com



I have used this product many times. It's a nice gel that works well for shaving. 



Oral-B Complete Extra White ~ Available From Boots, Boots Pharmacy, Superdrug & superdrug.com at £2.49 For 100ml



I received this for Xmas. Please find that post here. This was a nice toothpaste, but I didn't notice extra white teeth.



Di Palomo Orange Blossom With Wild Honey & Olive Enriching Hand & Nail Cream ~ £7.00 For 75ml



I received this product for free to review! Please find my first impressions in this post here. I really like how the Di Palomo creams sink into my skin. I really like this scent. It's classy, yet sexy.



Make-Up






Left To Right: Me Me Me Seventh Heaven Enriched Moisturising Facebase, Link :), Murad Skin Perfecting Primer (Dewy Finish), Link :), E.L.F. Tinted Moisturiser SPF 15 (Ivory), Link :), MUA Liquid Eyeliner (Black - Shade 5), Link :), Dior Diorshow Backstage Makeup Mascara (Black), Link :)



Me Me Me Seventh Heaven Enriched Moisturising Facebase ~ £2.00 For 10ml/£15.00 Full Size (Size Unknown) From mememecosmetics.co.uk. Also available at Superdrug



I received this product in my December GlossyBox. Please see that post here. I love the scent of this it's so refreshing. This was a nice primer to use.



Murad Skin Perfecting Primer (Dewy Finish) ~ £29.00 For 30ml From feelunique.com



I received this product in my January GlosyBox, Link :) I actually quite like this product. Although I prefer to wear foundation this does give you a subtle, sun kissed glow if you don't want to go out bare faced.



E.L.F. Tinted Moisturiser SPF 15 (Ivory) ~ £1.50 For 12g From eyeslipsface.co.uk



I know this is just a tinted moisturiser, but this gives barely any coverage so I really wouldn't recommend it as I don't think it's worth applying it. I have used it all up by mixing it with other make-up products to lighten them. It's not expensive though. For a swatch of this product and others please see this haul post, Link :)



MUA Liquid Eyeliner (Black - Shade 5) ~ £1.00 From muastore.co.uk, Superdrug & superdrug.com



This product has lasted me ages and is great value. I would recommend this, especially to those who are new to using liquid eyeliner as the price is fab. This is a very black shade that does not flake and gives a very precise line. The applicator tip is stiff. The only con is when I get this on my eyelashes it makes them go hard like I find all liquid eyeliners do so be careful when applying. This does stay put though.



Dior Diorshow Backstage Makeup Mascara (Black) ~ £22.00 For 11.5ml From Debenhams, debenhams.com. Boots Pharmacy, boots.com and other outlets.



I received this sample free when I purchased it's older sister Diorshow Blackout which I love because it's intensely dark and volumising. This however gives a much more subtle daytime look.





So the products I am most likely to use in again are:



 
 Simply Pure Make-up Remover Wipes

 Hello Kitty Wet Wipes 

 Superdrug 100% Cotton Wool Round Pads

 Johnson's Baby Oil

 Gorgeous By Gok Body Wash

 Superdrug Essential Anti-Perspirant Deodorant

 Sweet Snuggles Creme Caramel Body Cream

 Boots Smooth Sensitive Care Shave Gel

 Di Palomo Orange Blossom With Wild Honey & Olive Enriching Hand & Nail Cream

 Murad Skin Perfecting Primer (Dewy Finish)

 MUA Liquid Eyeliner (Black - Shade 5)






So that's all my darling's. I hope you have a lovely weekend. What have you been loving and loathing in February?




Love to you all
