Empties Reviewed #1

Finishing a beauty product to the very last drop is always a delight. I'm sure all you beauty lovers feel the same way! Using up a jar, tub or tube leads to another stash of unexperienced magical products.

Caudalie Beauty Elixir:

Caudalie Beauty Elixir face mist is inspired by the 'elixir of youth' used by queen Isabelle of Hungary.The plant based mist feels very cooling and refreshing on the skin whilst providing a boost of hydration. I loved using this as a pick me up during the day for a glowing complexion. It has a minty fresh overwhelming aroma which feels relaxing and soothing. The radiance boosting face mist contains: grape, orange blossom, rose, organic balm mint and rosemary. It definitely is a luxury product and I do not feel as though this may be a necessity. (Available at Space NK 100 ml £32.00)

Ro's Argan Body Conditioner:

To say this body conditioner is moisturising would be an understatement, Its extremely moisturising! I love the fact that it is formulated to be used in the shower which is so handy and efficient. The best way to describe this would be to say that it feels like an intense body mask it continuously feeds and nourishes the skin leaving a layer of moisture. After use the skin feels smooth, soft and conditioned. The heavenly rose jam scented body conditioner contains: argan oil, cocoa butter, cupuacu butter, brazil nut oil, almond oil and shea butter. Its a unique and satisfying formula which may be turning in to a slight necessity... (Available at Lush 225g £16.50)

Rub Rub Rub Shower Scrub:

The eye catching blue coloured body scrub is the perfect formula for a scrub, not too gentle and not too gritty. It contains ingredients like lemon juice which is known to be refreshing and rejuvenating and seal salt which is known to be a natural antiseptic. It leaves you feeling clean, fresh and well scrubbed.  (Available at Lush 330g £8.75)

L'occitane Angelica Exfoliating Gel:

This freshly scented face exfoliator from L'occitane contains all natural gum exfoliating particles. I found this to be extremely gentle and a very basic scrub would not be repurchasing this. (Available at L'occitane 75ml £19.00)

The Body Shop Strawberry Body Butter:

Thinking body butters? Think Body Shop! When it comes down to body butters body shop really have it covered. My favourite would have to be the strawberry one. Contains shea butter and strawberry seed oil. The deliciously sweet and fruity smelling butter has a lovely texture and absorbs in to the skin very quickly it  leaves skin feeling smooth, soft and thoroughly moisturised. (Available at The Body Shop 200ml £13.00)

Jo Malone English Pear & Freesia Cologne:

Jo Malone Fragrances are known to be one of a kind. English pear and freesia is light, comforting and a luscious fragrance. A perfect everyday scent its floral but at the same time has a ripe, juicy and crisp aroma.  The combination of pear and freesia truly make this scent in to a remarkably enjoyable fruity floral feminine fragrance. It is a very gentle fragrance so does not seem to last very long which is why I will not be repurchasing this one. (Available at Joe Malone 30ml £40.00)

Dry Remedy Oil Aveda:

The daily moisturising oil from Aveda contains naturally derived buriti oil which is known for its strengthening properties. It feels very moisturising and takes care of dry ends. The herbal smelling hair oil leaves hair feeling nourished and healthy(Available at John Lewis 30ml £19.50)

No 9 Blackberry and vanilla musk pocketable fragrance:

I love this little roll on from Trish McEvoy its efficient and convenient to use. I would describe this as a warm and spicy,sweet scent but very fresh at the same time containing blackberry buds. Overall a very pleasant scent.  (Available at Trish McEvoy)

Body Shop Tea Tree Oil:

Tea Tree Oil is a must have for me. Its well known for its antibacterial properties as well as clearing out spots and  blemishes this one from The Body Shop is soothing and does not dry out the skin. (Available at The Body Shop 10ml £7.00)
