As much I love beauty products, I must admit I do dread cleaning my makeup brushes. However, recently I have found a product that makes it s...
I've decided to do another empties post as I think it's a good way to do a review and it saves me just throwing away products as soon as i'm finished with them.
The catergories for the products are pretty much the same as my last empties so i'll start in the same order.
Starting with haircare; the first product is the John Frieda Sheer Blonde Colour Renew Tone Correcting Conditioner. (and breath!). Now my hair has been so many colours I can't even remember, but lately i've gone sort of a dirty blonde colour. This took me quite a while to do and used several products but I wont go into that! Anyway, my hair had gone an awful bleach blonde colour so a friend of mine reccomended this conditioner to take away the gingery tone. As for toning my colour, it did work, but as the bottle says 'for best results, use up to 3 times per week' and I only used it once a week because as a conditioner, its amazing, and I only really condition my hair once a week as I like it abit more textured. So it has toned my hair, but it would have toned quicker if I had used it more basically.
Moving onto sort of body stuff; the first product is the Body Shop Shea Shower Cream. This product I have absolutely rinsed! I mean theres literally nothing left. I'm not usually fussy over shower creams/gels as when i'm at home I'll just use whatevers in the shower, but this came in a set that my brother bought me for christmas and I just grabbed it before I came back to uni after christmas and I must say I love it. Shea butter products can tend to be abit sickly after a while but this ones got a different sort of shea butter scent which I really like. It's really thick so you don't need to use loads which is always good. I also havn't purchased many of The Body Shop products in the past, but
I will definately be trying out some more in the future.
Next is sort of makeup/skincare; The first product is the Clinique Turnaround Overnight Radiance Moisturiser. This again was a little freebie from a magazine I think. It's only a 7ml pot but it has lasted me a few months. I didn't tend to use it overnight though as I have quite oily skin and don't really like leaving products on my face overnight so I mainly used it as a primer for makeup or just a moisturiser for after cleansing in the mornings. I like it because it's not too heavy and greasy and absorbs well into the skin, leaving a nice base for makeup.
The next product is, the Benefit Porefessional Primer. I have read Countless reviews on this product and have only heard good things. Again this was only a sample. However I was not disapointed. This is by far one of the best primers i've used and it really does minimise pores which is great for me. I would definately repurchase & recommend!
Moving onto makeup; the first product is the MaxFactor Age Renew Foundation in shade 70. Now don't ask why I have an age renew foundation and i'm 20. I think it might have been on offer or something. MaxFactor are one of my favourite brands for foundation as they give greattt coverage. And this one was no exception. It was quite mousse like and had a slight sheen to it. The only down side is that its in a pump bottle and I don't know why, but I seem to use up pump foundations so must faster. But overall a very good foundation.
And finally is the MUA Pressed Powder. I did a review on the MUA Heaven & Earth Eye Pallette & really liked it so I thought I'd try some more of thier products. I chose this powder as I don't really spend much on powders as I only use it to set makeup and not as coverage. This one was £1.00, so I can't really complain.
