Empties #7

Before I review a new set of products that I have finished up, I thought I would include a batch of products that I have also finished, but that have already been reviewed/featured on this blog. I don't want to go on and on about them as they are mainly basis products, which do the job well and I will continue to repurchase. I have used 3 mini tubes of Soap And Glory's Hand Food, an Oral B 3D White Brilliance Toothpaste, a sample size of Smashbox's Photo Lid Primer, a bottle of Boots' Conditioning Nail Polish and last of all, the No7 Beautiful Skin Hot Cloth Cleanser. For more indepth reviews on these products, please view the relevant empties/review post. 

Facewipes are a convinient and quick cleanse when your on the go, perfect for the gym, but not so much on a regular basis. I picked up the Neutrogena Hydrating Cleansing Wipes back in November time to keep in my bag for whenever I needed to remove my makeup on the go. They claim to moisturise the skin for 12 hours and to really soften it. I can't say they were any different to normal wipes and left my skin not overly moisturised, or dry, somewhere in the middle. The packaging for these wipes was really poor as they didn't stay closed so the wipes really dried out before I finished the packet. I still used them all, but I required 2 or 3 wipes to remove my makeup towards the end. Because of this, I wouldn't repurchase these wipes again, I much prefer the No7 Beautiful Skin ones. 

I also finished up my Satsuma Shower Gel from The Body Shop. I have raved about this continually and already have the huge 750ml size in my shower. In my last empties post I included the matching body butter, which ran out quicker than this shower gel. The gel foams up well, really cleans the skin and leaves it soft and beautifully scented. This is my all time favourite scent from The Body Shop and is one I cannot stop recommending to people. 

Hair spray is a product I only use if I am putting my hair up, as I find it too much of a hassle on an everyday basis. I have recently tried and used up the John Freida Brilliant Brunette Fixing Shine Maximum Hold Hairspray. This was a 50ml can that came in a gift set. When I used this product for the first time, I was so surprised how sticky it was. Even if I only used a small amount, my hair was tacky to the touch and looked like it had been coated in hairspray. Even brushing it out made my hairbrush sticky! I would not recommend or repurchase this again, purely because I know there are much lighter and better hairsprays on the market that are probably much cheaper than a full size of this product. I would advise that you don't use this on freshly washed hair, as it won't stay clean for long. 

The final products I have used up, are two body lotions I hauled back in November. I had never tried Jergens' Naturals Cocoa Butter Body Moisturiser or Good Things' Soothing Body Lotion, but I was pleasantly surprised. Both applied really nicely to the skin and were easy to massage in so that they were quickly absorbed, they also smelt incredible. I am a huge fan of cocoa butter in the winter as it is so hydrating and usually purchase The Body Shops version, but this is a great, cheaper alternative. I was also really pleased with the Good Things lotion and will definitely pick this up again.
