June Empties

This isn't just any old empties post. I thought I'd mix it up a bit today, and show you other things, not just beauty products that I've finished. I'll start with the usual though...

Clarins, Extra-Firming Body Cream; Didn't particularly love or hate this product. Quite liked the scent. I wouldn't complain if i was given it, but probably wouldn't purchase it myself.

L'Oreal Kids, Very Berry Strawberry Conditioner; I'm pretty sure I've mentioned this before, but basically I get allergic Dermatitis on my scalp and i don't know what it is, but something in some shampoos & conditioners trigger is, I find, children's shampoo is pretty good for not irritating my scalp, and i actually really enjoyed this one, it made my hair lovely and soft, and smelt like strawberries. I probably would purchase this again.

Lolita Lempicka Fragrance Samples; I'd never heard of this range, until i got in a glossybox, I wasn't wow'd by the scents, but i did enjoy trying them out. I wouldn't purchase these.

Comfort Zone, Tranquillity Cream; I really enjoyed this cream i loved the scent of it, and it left my skin lovely and soft I probably wont be repurchasing this, but only on the grounds that i have a million an one body lotions to get through.

Comfort Zone, D-Age Body cream; again really enjoyed this and like the other left my skin nice and soft. Wouldn't repurchase, for the same reasons.

Oral B, Pro Expert, Clean Mint Toothpaste; This is my favourite toothpaste, i love love love the taste of it and it leaves your teeth and mouth feeling amazingly clean and fresh! Definitely will be repurchasing this.

L'Occitane Divine Cream; I have a couple more sachets of this to use up, I did enjoy the product, wasn't wow'd by it, but I'll get a better feel for it after I've used up the other samples.

Comfort Zone, Good Night Kit; I'm so pleased to have finally finished this, I was getting a bit bored of it. I didn't notice any significant change in my skin and I'm glad to finished it. Won't be repurchasing this.

So that's my empty products.

These 3 products aren't empty but i shan't be using the any longer;

Paul Mitchell, Round Trip; Isn't really doing anything for my hair and i realised i was only using it for the sake of using it. So I'd rather stop using it and use something that will benefit my hair.

Soap & Glory, Super eyes, Super eyes; I've literally just got the name of this product! (lol) But anyway, I'm not using this product any more, as i found it was quite stingy when i used it, which wasn't a pleasant experience. Now I'm not dissing S&G at all, they are in fact one of my favourite brands. This product just simply wasn't suitable for me. As its still very full, i will probably try and pass it on to someone who will get some use out of it.

Decleor, Aroma Cleanse; Decleor is another brand i quite like, so this is in no way a reflection on the brand as a whole. This product just left my skin very dry and sore. Already having quite dry skin I didn't appreciate this cleanser leaving it even drier than normal. I probably give this to my mum, she has quite oily skin so she might appreciate it.

Other things I've finished this (last) month....

Four, Yes FOUR books. That's like a book a week! But realistically, i actually start Chris Moyles last summer! So that ones a bit of a cheat. Also, you probably know from my last posts I went on holiday the other week, and i don't know if i mention this, but it rained ALL week. So i flew through James Corden, One Day & Fifty Shades of Grey. The latter two i actually read in 1 day each. I just couldn't put them down. I'm planning on watching One Day (the film) when i can get hold of copy, and i cant wait to read the rest of the Fifty Shades trilogy or see the film when it does eventually come out.

I'm currently reading the Hunger Games, even though i have already seen the film.
I really enjoyed all four of these books, I've only lately gotten into autobiography's, but it has to be of someone i actually like other wise i just cant get into them. Any recommendations?

So there we go, my June Empties with a twist.

Have you finished any books lately? or products or that matter?

Lots of Love

Glossy Box; March 2012

This months GlossyBox was a collaboration with Harrods, This could only mean one thing, very fancy, very high end, great products! There were a few spoilers around i couldn't help myself but look at them, the majority of them looked really good, so i was very excited.

I got my box this morning, this month is a lush, glossy white box....

This inside of it looked like this...

The classic green Harrods ribbon and a cute little Harrods sticker.

This is what i got inside my box...

- Versace, Vaitas Versace Eau De Parfum

- Bliss, Blood Orange & White Pepper Body Butter

- Révive, Intensité Créme Lustre

- Lancome, Juicy Tubes

- Clarins, Extra-Firming Body Cream

Bliss, Blood Orange & White Pepper Body Butter 50ml This has an amazing smell! The initial smell is the Blood Orange, when smelling it from the tube, its really strong, once rubbed into the skin you can really smell the White Pepper. The consistency I'd say isn't quite that of a body butter, its more in between a body butter and a body lotion. I'm pretty sure Bliss products are available in big department stores such has Debenhams & House of Frasier. Its available on the Harrods website here for £20.50/200ml

Clarins Extra-Firming Body Cream, Lifts, Tones, Comforts 30ml this has a really fresh smell to it, almost like a cucumber smell initially, afterwards it becomes like a perfumey scent, which is quite nice. It has a really thick consistency, its quite difficult to squeeze it out of the tube. It sinks into the skin beautifully leaving it really soft. Clarins is available in most department stores. Its also available on boots.com for £39.50

Révive Intensité Créme Lustre SPF30 7ml This is the only brand in the box i'd never heard of, This apparently is ' An intensive, firming, moisturiser that helps to reduce the appearance of sagging skin' on the glossy card thing, they then to go on to give us an application tip 'Apply in the morning after cleanser, toner and serum' which is what i normally do with my moisturiser, but thanks for the tip! the cream doesn't really have any smell to it, just like that general moisturiser smell, it has a proper thick consistency almost like butter. Once applied to the skin, it has an odd smell, is this just me?! Its available on the Harrods website, for the jaw dropping price of....... £235.00/60ml !!!!

Sorry For The Blurry Photo.

Lancome Juicy Tubes, Toffee R 'n' B 93 7ml From my other posts you might have seen I'm not a big lip gloss wearer, I've never even tested Lancome juicy tubes before, but this one smells AH-mazing! Its incredibly sweet, but i just can stop smelling it (it also tastes as good as it smells!) I have applied it and so far so good, its a bit sticky but not so that i have to take it off straight away. its a really nice sheer glitter gloss as well, not so shimmery that you couldn't wear it during the day. Again Lancome is available in most department stores, also larger boots stores, you can buy from the Harrods website here, for £15.50/30ml

Last but not least, The perfume sample, in my box i received Vanitas by Versace 4.5ml. I cant describe scents to save my life, so on the card it says 'A luxurious scent from the House of Versace. Vanitas is a rich and voluptuous fragrance with notes of tiare flower, lime and freesia.' It smells gorgeous! and the little bottle is so cute! Again i believe Versace perfumes are available in most perfume retailers, its available here, on the Harrods site for £45.00/30ml. I'd highly recommend giving it a spritz next time your in boots or Debenhams.

So, although I'm not one to complain, i was slightly disappointed at TWO body creams, thought i know full well I'll get through both of them easily, it would have been nice for some variety as i know there is also a hair care product floating around. Other than that teenie moan, i am very pleased with my box and the products i received.

Another well done Glossy Box, i am yet to get a box that I'm completely disappointed with.

What products did you get in your GlossyBox this month?

Lots of Love
