October&November Empties!

Hi guys! 
This is my first ever empties post!  If you don't know what that means, its just all the products I've completely used up, and I'll just tell you abit about them and what I thought of them!

*****
First of all I have 3 jelly Belly bath salts, the packaging is really cute and in the pots they smelled amazing the 'Very Cherry' was my favourite.  However, they had no affect on my bath whatsoever, they didn't colour my water, make it smell nice or make it softer... So I won't be re-purchasing these because they just didn't do anything! 

This No7 protective moisture cream was sat in my draw for about a year before I actually used it, but when I finally got to it it was really nice! It sunk into my skin quickly, didnt leave it feeling too greasy, and was a really nice base for my foundation.  I probably won't be re-purchasing it, just because there are so many other moisturisers I have to use up and try before I settle for one!

Now this is something I really loved! Its a mascara by the brand 'Vital Radiance' which I have actually never heard of before, I got it as a Christmas present about 2 years ago and never even bothered opening it because I thought it would be rubbish, but I found it in the back of my draw about 4 months ago and thought I'd give it a whirl! It seperated out my lashes really nicely, and gave them alot of volume, which is exactly what I want in a mascara. Length is never really something I look out for because my lashes are naturally quite long and it looks far too overdone and abit freakish when I use a really lengthening mascara! I'll have to research the brand to find where I can find it, and when I do I will definitely be re-purchasing! 

This is a freederm spot treatment, I've had it for years and lost the lid, so it looks very battered the poor little thing!  I can't really say this was a miracle worker, I used it because I had it and I won't be repurchasing!

This is the ReVive Moisturising cream, and I got this in a Glossybox a few months ago.  I really loved this cream, it was really thick and I used it when I needed intense moisturisation (is that even a word? No? Probably not...)  I think the full size of this was quite expensive and hard to get hold of but if I ever see it on sale I will repurchase it! 

 This is the Nivea soft moisturising cream.  I hated it.  I'm not going to beat around the bush, it was horrible!  My initial thoughts were that it felt quite nice as it was going on, but that only lasted for a few seconds.  It made my skin feel greasy and like it had an oily film over it which is never good.  It was also incredibly shiny!  my face turned into a light reflecting...... devise, type, thing...  and then to add insult to injury it broke me out! After one use! I was devastated and now I'm too scared to use any other Nivea products just incase! 

this is the Dove fine skin bubble bath, I got this is a gift set last Christmas and have only just used it all up!  but I really did enjoy using it, it made my bath water super soft and smelled really nice!  I probably won't repurchase, simply because no one ever seems to know what to buy teenage girls for Christmas, so we always end up with about 7 different bath sets! 

This is a planet Spa foot moisturiser cream I got for my birthday from a friend, it came with little white overnight socks which I have now lost, but the cream smelt really quite unusual, it was kind of cocoa buttery, but really strange!  It was definitely an acquired smell but I didn't mind it too much, it was nice and moisturising anyway!   

This is a mini Toni&Guy firm hold hairspray, I think it must have come in a gift set or something a few years ago but it was quite nice and did the job, I probably won't be repurchasing because there are plenty of other hairsprays that are just as good or better at a much cheaper price!

These were just tiny samples of facial lotion and day cream from simple, the lotion was quite nice but very thin, almost like milk! And the day dream was also nice but much thicker.  I quite liked them both and am looking into simple skincare after using these two products! 

This is a No7 hand cream, I carried it around in my handbad which is why its covered in stuff, but i really liked it however I won't be repurchasing just because I have so many hand creams in my draws to use up! 

This is another Glossybox sample, its the Uniq one leave in conditioner.  This had a really nice 'salon' smell to it, and I really liked it!  As far as I know you can only purchase it online which is just a big hassle really, so I won't be re-purchasing but I did enjoy it! 

*****
So I hope that wasn't too boring for you, I just had all of these products saved up for whats seemed like months! I even moved house with them! My mum was not impressed when I had a box full of empty bottles for her to move with!
Hope you all have lovely weekends!
