October Empties

I can't believe there's only two month left in 2012 is it just me or has this year gone by in a blink of an eye. Sorry for the lack of posts during the last month, blogging has seriously taken a back seat since I started college. October has flown by and I can't believe were into November already, the cold weather has really hit us in Ireland it's freezing out!! Even though I feel like my hands are ready to fall off with the cold, I love this time of year. I've already dug out all my Winter woolies, I can't get enough of wearing beanie hats right now. I've seen a few bits on Asos that I want to pick up so don't be surprised if you see a fashion post very soon. Empties wise during October I didn't finish too much, I think with college and work I'm surprised I have anything to show you.

I'm going to start off with the smelly products e.g shower gel, deodorant etc I finished this month. I'm not going to spend too much time on the deodorant as they do pop up in alot of my empties posts. Out of the two I prefer Sure Bright (pink canister) but at the end of the day they both do the same job. Like everyone else I just like to carry them around in my bag so I always repurchase at least one of these!! The shower gel I finished this month is Korres Vanilla Cinnamon shower gel. Wow this smells absolutely amazing! I know their shower gels can be a bit on the pricey side but they don't contain any nasty chemicals and I find them quite moisturing too. I love Vanilla and Cinnamon so this was definitely a match made in heaven! During October I also finished one of my favourite fragrances, Couture Couture by Juicy. This is the second bottle I've gone through and I love this stuff. It's such a nice wearable scent and my favourite out of the other Juicy Couture fragrances. I know this perfume is pretty expensive so I may hold out a while to repurchase it. I really want to try Viva La Fleur soon, I seen it while I was shopping the other day and it looks lovely.

Again I finished alot of micellar solutions this month. I can't get enough of the stuff since I stopped using face wipes a while ago. The only problem I have with them is that I fly through bottles in a blink of an eye. I must at least two bottles a month or something along those lines. I'm a big fan of Vichy's micellar solutions, I think there great. I prefer their Calming Cleansing option to take eye makeup off aswell as using it to take my foundation off. On the other hand I wouldn't use their Normaderm Micellar Solution anywhere near my eyes, it makes them sting so badly and wasn't a pleasant experience at all. I finally tried the much talked about Bioderma and I have to say I really liked it. It's great for taking off heavy eye makeup and the like. I wouldn't go as far as saying it took all my makeup off with one cotton pad, I'd say four! That said I could see myself buying this again soon, now all I need to do is find a good Ebay seller. Lastly from skincare is Lush's Ocean Salt Facial Scrub. This was the first time I tried this scrub and it definitely won't be my last. Firstly it smells amazing, one of those products I could sit around smelling all day and it's not because it contains vodka. The scrub itself is quite harsh so I wouldn't recommend it to people that have very sensitive skin. This one pot last me ages so I may treat myself to the bigger tub the next time I'm at Lush.

My one and only makeup empty this month is Rimmel's Wake Me Up Concealer. This may look full but I've been scratching the insides of this very tube out for days. I wasn't a big fan of the foundation of the same name but I love this stuff, I've already bought two back ups while the Boots 3 for 2 was on. I mainly use this under my eyes to make them look alive in the morning. Hard to do at 7am I can tell you but for me this stuff works amazingly well. I use the shade Ivory which is the perfect match for me. I do think Rimmel should bring out more shades as there's only four to choose from at the moment which is quite shabby indeed. It states on the tube that you can use this on blemishes but I haven't, so I can't really judge on that. I'll try the next time I use it and let you know.

What have you finished up this month? Have you tried any of the products above?

  5. I have tried this concealer, and was seriously impressed: it covers, brightens and doesn't crease; perfect for undereyes I find.
