Beauty Empties #1

So I thought that today would be a good day to empty out my little box of empties that I have been collecting up before I actually forget what I thought of them! This is sometimes the risk you run when writing an empties post I guess seen as it generally takes a long time to finish most beauty products. Keeping a bunch of empty bottles was starting to bug me too so I thought there is no time like the present so here they are ... 

Yes to Grapefruit Correct & Repair Brightening Facial Wipes 
First up we have some facial wipes. I usually go by the rule of thumb that I don't really use facial wipes for anything other than make-up smudges or getting off pesky bottom lash mascara, other than that I try to steer clear. When I saw these face wipes in boots though I was very intrigued. I had already heard lots of good things about the yes to carrots range so I thought I would give these a go especially as they said they were exfoliating and brightening. I have to say though I wasn't overly keen on them, I found that they were very dry for face wipes so even if I was going to use them to remove make-up they wouldn't have done very well. The sent was nice, it was very sweet grapefruit scent that I found very pleasant. I can't really say I noticed my face looking any brighter either, in all i don't think these wipes were for me but I would still be intrigued to try some other things from the range before I rule them out completely. 

Emma Hardie Amazing Face Moringa Cleansing Balm 
This is a product that I have used up several times and always repurchased, maybe not straight away but I always go back to it. I honestly don't think you could ever find a better cleanser out there (although if you do find one I am always open to new things!). Everything from the scent to the application to how easy it is to use, I really don't think I have a bad thing to say about it. I normally find cleansing my skin before I go to bed a bit of a chore but when I am using this I'm excited to go and take my make-up off, nothing about it is hard work. I think I've probably said quite enough about this now! If I haven't sold it to you I don't know what will! 

L'Oreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil 
Now this is one of those products that I find I can just live without. There was nothing bad about it but there was noting especially outstanding about it that would make me want to repurchase it. It probably did protect my hair quite well but other than that I didn't notice that my hair was shinier or more manageable, it does come in a pretty bottle though so is quite nice to have on the dressing table. 

Clinique Clarifying Moisture Lotion 
I brought this as a part of a three step skin care routine from clinique. I have to say they are three of the longest lasting products I have ever brought. I have always liked the brand and never used any of there skin care products. As far as skin care products go they haven't been my favourites but they definitely did the job, I won't be rushing out to repurchase them though but I'm glad I gave them a go. 

Anatomicals - You need a bloomin good shower - Rose and Jasmine Body Cleanser 
I've tried a few things from Anatomicals over the years and I have never been blown away by them but I have always liked them. This cleanser was completely different though, I brought it for around £2.00 on fragrancedirect.co.uk and was absolutely blown away by it. It smells absolutely delicious and it was so soft on my sensitive skin. It really did feel like a high end product for a fraction of the price, the only bad thing I have to say about it is that it didn't last long enough!  

Benefit Fake Up 
This product isn't actually completely finished but it is definitely coming to the end. I could not be more upset that this product is nearly finished, I have loved using it. It has been a staple part of my daily routine for the past six months without fail. I have carried it around with me everywhere, the packaging is beautiful and it is so compact. I will definitely be repurchasing this before it runs out completely so I don't have to spend one day without it. 

What are the products that you just couldn't live without and rush out to repurchase as soon as it has run out?
