Recent Empties

Today, I'm going to be talking about the last few items that I have been using up over the couple of previous months, and say whether I would honestly repurchase them or not. I've wanted to do this post for such a long time, but it takes me ages to use things, so I had to build up some!

Lets start with beauty...

Seventeen 'Brows that Brow' Eyebrow Kit // £5.99 // Boots
As I've mentioned before on this blog, I'm quite lazy when it comes to my brows, so I wanted something quick and simple. This was a really appealing option to me - something cheap that would last me a while and give me a bit more definition, without taking too long. I actually loved using this, and am quite gutted it's hit the pan. I was complimented on my eyebrows whenever I had this on and it made them dark enough to give some definition (like I wanted), but not to be over the top. The only criticism I had was that it did fall out a little bit onto the face (annoying when you've done all your base), and also, the powders do transfer over. For example, a lot of the wax ended up going into the highlighter section, which was quite annoying.

WOULD I BUY IT AGAIN? YES :)YES

Revlon Colourstay Concealer  // £6.99 // Boots
I do like to change my concealer up a bit sometimes - previously, I had used the Rimmel 'wake me up' and the Collection 'lasting perfection' concealers (both amaze FYI), but wanted to try something new. I have to say, this did not disappoint. It lasted me a good couple of months and was super creamy under the eyes to cover the bags; plus, it blended really well. This concealer defo did the job, and I liked using it.

WOULD I BUY IT AGAIN? YES :)

Next, let's chat about haircare.
L'Oreal Elvive Extraordinary Oils Shampoo // £3.50 // Boots
I'm super fussy with my hair - I have to admit that I am a bit too obsessed with it. I always want it to look long, shiny and generally just nice. Shampoo and conditioner are both things I like to change every now and then, so I thought I'd go for this one. I was very unimpressed with this. When I picked it up, I liked the look of the formula and I know a lot of people have praised this. It was so strange; the first couple of times, it worked wonders on my hair - I'd come out of the shower with long, glossy, nice smelling hair, just like I wanted, yet a week in, it did the complete opposite. Every time I used it, my hair got even more greasy, so it would need to be washed again within 24 hours. Considering it is not a cheap brand, I was not very happy and won't be using it again.

WOULD I BUY THIS AGAIN? NO:(

Aussie Miracle Moist Shampoo // £4.19 // Boots
I went onto using this straight after the bad experience with the L'Oreal Shampoo, desperately hoping for something better for my hair. This has probably been my 4th or 5th bottle of this - I've used it so many times as I love it! Although I'd used it before, after the last time, I was hoping that my hair would still be okay with it and thankfully, all was well. It smells incredible and I genuinely adore it!

WOULD I BUY THIS AGAIN? YES :)

Herbal Essences Hydration Conditioner // £3 // Boots
Conditioners are not really things I usually rave over - in my opinion, the shampoo makes all the difference and the conditioner, not so much. This entirely changed my opinion - I literally love this conditioner. I have to admit that I was not massively keen on the smell (I dislike coconut, sorry coconut lovers), but it made the ends of my hair nice, fluffy and sleek.

WOULD I BUY THIS AGAIN? YES :)

Generally, this haul of empties worked out pretty well - 4/5 I would purchase again! Let me know if you like this style of post, and comment below what you've been loving using recently.
