Empties #8


Here are my next lot of empties!  The Easter holidays are nearly coming to an end, I'm so sad, loving being off - although I've spent about 80% of the time studying for my last uni exam.  It will be pretty stressful when I'm back at college as we've so much to do, and doing the Graded Unit in our own time, then also I am trying to study for uni most days too :(  I actually can't wait for the summer and it all to be over!!!



Lush Breath of Fresh Air Toner Water
Thoughts:  Toner is my favourite skincare item and this one is no exception, it feels so clean and refreshing on my skin.  I use it after cleansing and also sometimes I will just use it alone in the morning or if I feel like I need it.  £3.95/100g here.  
Cruelty-free?: Yes.
Repurchase?: Yes.

The Body Shop Mango Body Scrub
Thoughts:  You can see my full review of this here.  I loved the smell but unfortunately it was just so oily, and I think was getting in my hair too, which was making it look really greasy :(  I got this for about £8 which was lucky.  £12.50 here.  
Cruelty-free?: Yes.
Repurchase?: No, I might do some research and try a different scent.




Lush Dorothy Bubble Bar 
Thoughts:  Dorothy is my favourite bubble bar!  I think I still have at least another one upstairs waiting to be used.  They are very cute to look at - blue with a rainbow on top - and I can get 2 baths out of one.  £2.99 here.  
Cruelty-free?: Yes.
Repurchase?: Yes.

Origins VitaZing Moisturiser SPF 15
Thoughts:  I loved this product!  I often don't wear foundation because in general my skin is pretty good but I just need a bit of something to make me look less like a ghost.  VitaZing is a moisturiser with a slight pigment which gives a nice healthy glow.  I'm so annoyed that Origins aren't cruelty free :(
Cruelty-free?: No.
Repurchase?: No.

Mac Penultimate Eyeliner in Rapidblack 
Thoughts:  Felt tip liners are my favourite, along with gels.  This one was quite good to begin with as far as I can remember but I found the tip to be a little bit short.  
Cruelty-free?: No.
Repurchase?: No.

  2. I recently finished the Tee Tree toner from Lush and also really really liked it. I imagine Breath of Fresh Air being is just as good.

  5. I really liked the mango scrub, but I completely get the oily description! I used to use a body wash before and after so that it was a bit more balanced, which meant I used much more body wash than scrub, a shame. :( x

    1. Yeah I would use a body wash after too which helped but it's just the whole greasy hair issue I couldn't deal with lol!

  7. I fancy trying out the Lush toner! It's such a shame that there are so many great products out there that aren't cruelty free, so it's great when cruelty-free retailers like Lush have fab products!
