Empties #1

 

Hello Readers,

It's been a while since my last post so apologies for that. I've been suffering from a bit of writers block recently and had no idea what to do a post on. However I was looking around my flat this evening when I realised that I have a fair few empty products laying around. I've never done an empties post before so I hope this is some what interesting for you all to read.

First up is the L'Oreal Elvive Colour Protect Shampoo and Conditioner. I recently dyed my hair a few weeks back and have been using these since. I only used a semi - permanent hair dye and I'd say this combination definitely helped my hair colour last longer. I normally find that all hair dyes seem to fade on me within 2 weeks max, but by using these I've managed to keep my hair colour quite dark for just over a month. I really like these for maintaining hair colour, however I'm not sure if I would repurchase as I really need to buy shampoos that will help control my extremely frizzy and wavy hair. So if anyone could recommend some shampoos for me that would be great!

 

Next is this Boots Botanics Rosewater Toning Spritz. I've had this product for months and have only just finished it. I use this product twice a day, once after I've exfoliated In the morning, and at night after I've took off my make-up and cleansed my skin. I really enjoy using this product and I feel like it really does freshen my skin and cleanse any remaining impurities. I would definitely repurchase this again. I featured this product in my skincare routine post which you can see here.

 

Next up is this Simple Spotless Skin Rapid Action Spot Zapper - phew! What a mouthful. I talk about this product quite frequently on my blog. I've gone through many tubes of this. It helps to gradually get rid of my blemishes without trying out my skin or irritating it. Simple is a great brand and I highly recommend them.

 

Next up is something that's quite dull however I thought I'd feature it anyway. I finished this pack of 100% Pure Cotton Wool pads. Again, I go through loads of packets of cotton wool and will continue to purchase packets of it as they're handy to use when taking off your makeup.

 



Finally the last item I have to feature in my empties is this pack of Osiris Deep Cleansing facial wipes. I picked up 3 packs of these wipes for a £1 in Asda, a month or so back when I was picking up bits and bobs for my holiday to Zante. I've never heard of this brand before and if I'm honest, I don't know anything about them still. I don't think I'll be buying these wipes again however as I feel like they have irritated my skin. Although I'm not 100% sure, I do think these wipes may have been the culprit.


That's all for my first Empties post. I hope this has been somewhat interesting for you!

I hope you're all well.

Paige.

 



OOTD #8

Hello Everyone!

I've been a bad blogger and took a 3 day break from posting anything. I'm sorry for my absence, I hope you don't mind too much. I had a bit of bad news on Friday, and it was just one of those days where everything bad seemed to be happening all at once so I've avoided the internet as I've not been in such a great mood. However I'm back, things are looking up and I've got nothing to complain about so on with the OOTD post! The weather the past few days has been wonderful and it still is so it's been nice digging out my summery clothes and using the hot weather as excuse to be lazy with my hair and makeup.

I'm not really doing too much today as per usual. So far today, me and my boyfriend have signed up for the Alpha stage of a new game, we've walked my dog, I've done some hoovering around the house and now we're just about to make a fruit salad. How exciting!

It's really hot today so my outfit is rather simplistic and temperature appropriate. Probably not the most interesting to look at but oh well, we can't all look amazing all the time, right?!



Outfit:

Cropped Striped Boxy Shirt - Topshop
Denim Shorts - Topshop
Brown Strappy Sandals - George at Asda

Black Sunglasses - Cosmopolitan Magazine

Jewellery:

2 Gold Rings - Hand Me Downs
Gold Bracelet - Hand Me Down

That's it for today's post! I hope you enjoyed, and once again sorry for my absence.

Also, could anyone recommend me some blogs to check out? Fashion, Beauty, Photography etc! I'd really love to add some new ones to my reading list.

Take care!

Paige.

Mini Haul #2

Hello Readers!

Today's post is a small haul of things that I picked up on a whim last night in Asda. Now it's not much, but I thought I could probably make a post out of it anyway! So here goes..

Now the first product I picked up was a really random purchase but it was a blush. Not just any blush, an Asda's own blush! Now I've never used any of Asda's own cosmetics before so I had no idea what to expect from this product. I picked up the shade called "Cheeky" which is a dusty pink colour with a slight, white / iridescent shimmer to it. So it could easily be used as a highlight and an eye shadow as well as a blush. I've only used it once so far since purchasing it last night but I shall let you know how I get on with it in time!


The next thing I picked up was a repurchase of the infamous Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer which I have gone through many tubes of! This stuff is so cheap and is the best concealer I've tried so far. It covers well and blends easily. I picked this up in the lightest shade which was Fair 1 as I'm pretty pale.

 

Next I picked up the July issue of Cosmopolitan magazine. This issue has some amazing photographs in it which has left me feeling very inspired as a photographer! Along with the magazine, I got two freebies. One being a pair of sunglasses, the other being a packet of Strawberry flavoured mentos. Slightly odd mixture of freebies but oh well!

Now the last thing I picked up is quite boring but it's a packet of Simple Kind To Skin Cleansing Facial Wipes. I've gone through a few packets of these before so it's just a boring little repurchase but I thought I'd show them anyway!

That's all for this mini haul. I hope it wasn't too dull for you as I'm aware that these aren't the most interesting of items.
