Product empties

Few the past couple of months I have been making a little collection of empty products an before the pile got too big I thought I would show you some!

Vo5. Plump it up dry shampoo 

Of course as with any bottle I have lost the lid! I give this product a whirl as I love vo5s refresh me quick dry shampoo I thought this would be like that with volume. It was definitely not as fresh smelling and had a very bad scent of I'm honest that dos put me off the product. The volume it gave me did make up for that though and really helped my hair for that but as a dry shampoo goes it didn't really soak up the oils. I would maybe buy this again for volume however not as a dry shampoo for that I shall stick to others.

Got2b rocking it dry shampoo 

When my favourite dry shampoo (refresh me quick vo5) was out of stock I thought I would try this instead. I can't find anything good about it though I had grey hair even when sprayed an arms distance away! It also would stick to my mirror much to my annoyance. I shall not buy this product again as there are far et yet ones at the same price that don't turn me into an old lady.

Elegant touch rapid dry for nails

Now this was well loved it really did fasten my nails dry time and actually made me paint my nails more. I can't fault this product and as soon as I finished it I noticed I wouldn't paint my nails! As soon as I finish this post I am going to purchase a new one!

Match perfection concealer 

This product is lovely it has a creamy feel and works perfectly under my eyes and it will be repurchased because it really made me look rested when I used it.

Finally

So those are a few of the product I've cleaned out and overall I did like them a lot my favourite out of them all was defiantly the nail varnish spray as it did really help an impatient person (me!)

Lee Stafford - for hair that never grows past a certain length review

I have been using this product for around 3 weeks now so j thought a review was in order. 

I stupidly didn't take any before and after photos so I am sorry for that however I can tell you now my hair has never looked and felt so strong before! I got this at the clothes show in Birmingham in a lee Stafford gift bag and the name really caught my eye. My hair normally grows to around my shoulder height and doesn't grow after that. On Black Friday I came to the conclusion my hair would not grow so I bought myself some extensions which really help. A while later I got this and started using it. My initial thought was it can't help grow hair as I've tried many things with no such luck, this however did what it said and my hair has grown past that length! I do believe the growth is mainly down to the fact that the product really strengthens your hair so I'm not 100% sure it's the massaging in the scalp that helps but I'm not going to be slept oval as at the end of the day my hair is longer and fuller and I could not be more chuffed. 

I would rate this product 4/5 as although it did what it said it hasn't the best smell. I would also say if you buy this product do not use the amount they too as you will rattle through the pot before any changes can happen it will also swamp your hair. Overall this is a great product that I will continue to use.

 

Nivea men primer?

This appears to be the best beauty find of 2015! (What a shame I discovered it in December!) I heard about using Nivea men sensitive post shave balm as a primer last month when I watched a video on YouTube by Kathleenlights. Despite her giving an amazing review and speaking the world of it I somehow forgot  to bother looking for it. I think exams and revision just stopped me from going to superdrug and I'd just bought a new primer I was trying out. 

A couple of weeks ago however I was wondering down an aisle in superdrug looking for Christmas presents for dad and I came across the balm. It was on sale fore £2.70 so I thought I should buy it and give it a whirl. I'm delighted I did never have I ever had a primer that keeps my skin looking so flawless for so long! The manly smell it has does dissapear very quickly after application so don't worry if that is a fear of yours it also has a mild dewy effect which I love.

Since buying this I have been fully converted and I have used this most days picking it over my other well loved primers such as maybelline baby skin. Overall I give Nivea a big thumbs up as this product is wonderful as a primer, I'm sure it's a good post shave balm as well however I cannot speak from experience!

I love it... But I hate it

We all have those products that we love but there is just that one thing about them that pushes you away from using it often.

I thought I would mention three and maybe then this into a regular thing as the list could go on forever!

P.S. Love this make up brush cleanser

This was £2 from primark and I just thought if this works it's going to be a firm favourite if it doesn't it's only £2 lost. Now when I first used this my initial thought was the smell, it smelt clean I'm not sure how else to describe the smell but it was refreshing and nice. I also love using it when I'm out of eyeshadow brushes and need one ASAP. The downside? It takes soooo looong to clean any other brushes and although products on the brushes are removed you really have to work at it. 

It's a handy tool for when you want to lightly clean something however you will never get a deep clean which was the process I wanted to speed up.

Overall I do use this product to keep my brushes from having a wash constantly but the time just isn't worth the effort with some bigger brushes. I also do love the concept so I will be on the hunt to find a better option in this category.

Rimmel provocalips

Firstly apologies on the incredibly mucky packaging they have been wildly loved by my bag.

I love the colours on these lip products (are they a liquid lipstick?) they are really pigmented and stay true to packaging colour. They also are the only "Stains" I can find on the market that are glossy whilst staying a long time. But... this is a big problem they do dry out your lips a lot normally if this is a problem I would just put a balm underneath however if you do that these slip and slide and do not keep an even pigmentation! They also are impossible to remove with out ripping your lips to shreds. So although I don't doubt they can stay 26 hours I will not be willing to keep them on that long. Due to this I rarely where them as my lips are so dry after using them. I love the colour, but hate the after effects.

Benefit they're real push up liner

Now this eye liner is the blackest liner you will ever see it's her black and when you get the flick right it rocks and looks amazing however getting that flick is a whole different story. The tip of the eyeliner is slanted and you would think that would help however certain parts of the tip seen to work better than others and the very point hardly gets any product coming out so your eyeliner doesn't get that nice crisp point without a lot of work. The actual liner doesn't last that long either as I find it smudges on me throughout the day. I love the blackness and the intial look after the effort but it doesn't last unfortunately. I prefer my under £3 nyc liquid eyeliner it's much easier to apply and lasts far longer.

So there are my first three love it hate it's I hope you enjoyed and watch this space for a few more.

Revolution eye shadows

I'm not sure how new the brand reveloution is but it is relatively new stand to my local superdrug, over the past few longs I have picked up four of there shadow palettes.

I believe that they have two ranges of shadows as some out £4 whilst there are six that are £6

Redemption palette iconic 3

I've had this palette the longest and it is very nice to use as an everyday palette at a reasonable price of £4 however some of the eyeshadows do have slightly chunky glitter. Having said that others are slightly hard but do produce good colour after some time building them up.

Redemption palette iconic 1

This palette was given to me and I was very excited for it, however I haven't used it as much as the others. The palette feels more buttery than the 3 however the eyeshadows are very crumbly so do spill.

Both the palettes 

Are very nice shades however the actual pay off wouldn't get a durable intense look which is what I expected.

Welcome to the pleasuredome

This palette is stunning and well loved it's my first £6 and for that extra £2 you are winning. It comes with 6 matte shades at the bottom that are amazing for a grungy look then at the top it consists of shimmers. I love this palette as you can go for neutral looks on the right and go all out on the left. They also have wonderful pay off so that is a big plus.

( a few)

Run boy run

They say to save the best till last and I certainly have. This palette not only has song lyrics as name of shades and is named the same as a song from the divergent soundtrack it is also an all round gorgeous palette. Both the £6 ones also come with big mirrors which come in handy when on the go 

Overall I really like these palettes however I do think that for an extra £2 you do get far better quality.
