Product Empties!

Hello sweet readers!
Cue apologies for being absent for so long... again! I'll get better I promise. Stick with me!!

So today I bring you a post that I've been wanting to do for a while but quite literally didn't have the means to do it. But now, as I've finished off some products, I present you with my product empties! This is always one of my favourite posts to read from other bloggers so I hope you fellow beauty bloggers or even non-beauty bloggers enjoy this one. 


(from left to right)

Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse - I'm almost sure I've mentioned this before but this is my favourite foundation ever. It's such a lovely, light consistency so it gives good matte coverage without it feeling too heavy on the skin so it barely feels like you're wearing any foundation at all. I can't praise this foundation enough. I usually wear mine in Porcelain but as they'd run out of that last night I opted for Light Porcelain which was a little bit pale for my skin tone but worked just fine mixed with a darker liquid foundation.
     - Will you repurchase? YES! A million times over!
     - Cost? £7.69 from Boots

Sanctuary Spa Body Scrub - Now I'll be really honest with this one, I don't feel really strongly either way on this product. I don't love it and I don't hate it. It does the job but I'm not particularly drawn to the smell or the packaging. It's quite a rough exfoliater too so if you prefer something a bit more gentle and subtle, I wouldn't recommend this one. That being said, it's cheaper than other exfoliaters out there so it's okay to fill the gap until I find something I love enough to spend a few extra pennies on.
     - Will you repurchase? Probably, until I find something better!
     - Cost? £5.50 from Boots

Clinique Moisture Surge Intense Fortifying Hydrator - I am completely in love with this. Confession time - I've never really been one to prioritise moisturising... like ever. But with this product moisturising is such a pleasure it's something I look forward to doing. It's lovely and light when applied but moisturises really deeply so dry skin is definitely a thing of the past. As you can see from the photo, it's not quite empty but it doesn't have many uses left and I'm going to be a little bit sad when I use the last of it! 
     - Will you repurchase? It's a little costly so I would probably put it on my birthday or Chrsitmas wishlist!
      - Cost? It's £32 for 50ml from Clinque.co.uk

Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub - If you have a real problem with dry lips (like me!) then this would be perfect for you. It's quite difficult to use correctly and get the best results possible but I've learnt that if you combine it with this little trick from The Beauty Department it works wonders and leaves you with lovely soft, flake free lips ready to apply your lipstick or gloss. 
     - Will you repurchase? Without a doubt!
     - Cost? £5.50 for 25g from Lush.co.uk

L'oreal Studio Secrets Smoothing Resurfacing Primer - The first of two primers in this post and the one I'm least impressed with. I'm not sure there's even one good thing I can say about this product, I don't think I've ever been as disappointed with a purchase as I have with this one. I actually bought it on recommendation from another blogger and she loved it but it's just not for me. It's costly, dries my skin out and doesn't make my make-up last any longer. I've actually had this sitting in my make up bag for about a year now, I just wasn't keen on using it all up. Sorry, I'm just not a fan of this one! 
    - Will you repurchase? Definitely not.
    - Cost? £14.29 from Boots

Rimmel Fix and Perfect Primer - I'm more impressed with this one than the L'oreal primer but again I'm not overly keen on it. In comparison this one is more budget friendly and keeps my skin moisturised. I'm not sure it quite does everything it claims to do on the tube, for me it just seems to work like any other moisturiser. That being said I do still think it's a lovely product and if I don't come across a primer that actually makes my make up last longer (guys, is primer a myth!?!) then I'll be returning to this one.
     - Will you repurchase? If nothing else takes my breath away!
     - Cost? £6.99 from Boots

So what did you all think of this post? Have you tried any of these products? Did any of them work any better/worse for you? Let me know in the comments! I would love to hear from you.
