Recent Empties

I have a couple of empties, not many but i thought i would talk about them, before they go in the bin and i forget. 
Most of the things are shower related. 
I haven't really used up much recently, but i have rotated everything in my bathroom trying to get my fella to help use them up! 
I have some goodies waiting to be used and i hate waiting! 
I have been loving the radox shower gels, The new ones.. well quite new.
I used 2 different ones recently. 
- Berry Burst
- Cherry Blast
I really liked both of these, the creaminess of them and how they lather up. The fragrances are beautiful. I will defiantly repurchase these at some point because i did really enjoy these, ( think the fella did too, they went pretty quick ) Which is a downside, i like things to last, but they weren't very expensive. I think i bought them on offer at £1 each, ( I'm sure if you shop around you can find them at that price all the time ) 
These are the three in the range ( i think they have bought out a few more since )

Hot cloth cleanser

I have finally finished my hot cloth cleanser ( i dont mean that in a bad way ) i thought it was never going to end.. The product is so worth the money, it just kept going and going.
I was so impressed. I love this product and bought a new one quite a few weeks ago before i thought it was running out. Boy was i wrong.. I finally used it up tonight. 
This was the first hot cloth cleanser i've ever used and to be completely honest when i first bought it i didn't even know what it was, until i heard someone else taking about it, and started using it. Ive used it every day every since. 
I want to try a few others but haven't got around to it yet.. But i will. 
Its the Superdrug Hot cloth cleanser with muslin cloth. 
http://www.superdrug.com/superdrug/superdrug-hot-cloth-cleanser-with-muslin-cloth-150ml/invt/516251&bklist=
Full price £5.99, normally it is on offer, because each time I've bought it it has been around £3.00 

Sanctuary shower gel
This was a new try to me, i've never tried the brand before. i bought a gift set just after christmas from boots when it goes half price. It including a few different things, like shower gel body butter etc. I was really excited to try the brand after i heard a lot of things about the range. 
I have to admit i wasn't a huge fan off the shower gel. There was nothing great about it, the smell was overly nice. You didn't get a lot of product i was quite disappointed. I still have some more products to try from the range so i wont give up for the range just yet.

Happy girl!

100! This is my 100th post! And I just want to thank every single one of you for reading my blog. I assume you've ended up hear accidentally but you don't know how much this means to me. Last year I became very ill and needed something to pass the time and I thought about it, about what I enjoyed doing or took any interest in. And it's beauty! Any thing beauty, skin, hair, anything! I just enjoy reading product reviews, checking out new products coming out. 
So to pass the time I started writing silly reviews on products, and now I really enjoy it and wish I could take it seriously enough to make a job out of it ( that'll never happen ) but It would be amazing. 
Thank you everyone so much!! 
Love you all xxxx

Face Masks - part 2

I decided to split to post into two because, i didn't want it to be extra long and drag on ; and also i thought i would do the tubes on a separate post. Also these aren't higher end but are obviously more expensive than £1.


I'm going to start off with an Avon product, It's actually a little gift set that i received for Christmas. But is a really good idea to try out different masks without buying the tube and then not liking it, So this was a great present idea. 
As you can see I've posted a photo of the actual packing it came in and what came with it. 12 sample ' planet spa ' face masks. I like the fact there is 3 different ranges to try out. I've not used all of these yet because i am constantly changing up my skin care routine and i think these are nice little travel friendly sized masks. As i said in the previous post to me a mask that has one use is silly, but i disagree on these because i think it's a lovely gift idea and you have a little bit of choice. 
All 3 of these masks are really good, 
- Thailand Lotus Flower Deep Pore Cleansing Face Mask
- Dead Sea Minerals Facial Mud Mask
- Mediterranean Olive Oil Hydrating Face Mask
I think this is a great gift and i really do like all 3 masks it comes with, I'm pretty sure you can buy the masks singular. I do really like these but maybe will not buy again afterwards because they are so hard to get your hands on. 

Next up


This is and isn't a face mask, it's actually a scrub but can be used as a mask. It's the ' Soap & Glory, Scrub Your Nose In It '
I was really excited to try this stuff, but i was very disappointed. The product is great does great things to your skin ( which is obviously what we want it to do ) but the smell is so strong. It stinks of mint, and just reminds me of toothpaste. No one wants to rub toothpaste all over their face. It actually looks like it too, It's a greeny blue colour. 
Overall though it is actually a good skin product, but for a 'Soap & Glory ' product you expect it to have the usual smell and this just surprised me. I actually bought it from www.amazon.co.uk a while ago because my local Boots didn't have any in and i was that excited to try it, so maybe if i had smelt it in the store i wouldn't of purchased it, but i did. Maybe if they change the horrible fragrance i will try it again, but it was too overpowering and stung my eyes. 

Nextttt

This next one is actually a really new one i have purchased so really its cheating putting it in here but i cant do a face mask post and not include all the ones around my house. This was an impulse buy, i hadn't read any reviews i literally went into the shop saw that it was on offer and thought ' ill have this ' afterwards when i left the shop i realised how much the product was full price. £10 is a little steep for me, but if its good enough maybe i can justify it. 
It's The ' Sanctuary 5 minute thermal detox mask ' maybe some of you have tried it. I've used it once so cant really comment but the one time i have used it i quite enjoyed it. I don't really think it has a scent. Its really thick consistency but it left my skin really smooth and that what i like, i like to feel it doing something. 


Usa- Basically i think you could find all of these products online, Ebay or amazon will more than likely sell them. Maybe difficult to find, but you can. To be completely honest i dont know if you can be find any of these in shops! Let me know if you can. I've tried my best to find things out but obviously i only have ' Google ' to find out.

Sanctuary!

Finally I have some products from Santuary! I say this.... But I haven't used anything yet, it takes me a while because I like to wait until I'm ready! ( silly I know ) 
     I actually bought it just after Christmas  in the boots half price sale, it was a big gift set that was fully priced at £20, which I thought was very cheap anyway. But obviously it only cost me £10! A huge bargain. 
The set includes a body scrub, a body wash, a body butter, a small hand lotion and a puffy thing! ( everyone calls them different but I'm sure you know what I mean ) but I think it's amazing value for money. 
I also recommend that after next Christmas which is obviously a while yet! You go and stock up on presents for the year or even treat yourself, it's a great way of saving money! I will be trying to do that in future, because you will get a lot more for your money!
