Happy Hump Day people!
Today I’m gonna do my first ‘Empties‘ post.
I love reading ‘Empties’ & seeing if people are going to re-buy the product or not. So I said I’d give it a go myself 🙂
It actually takes me quite a while to go through a product, because once I get near the bottom I always try space it out & use it sparingly 😂 Especially if I won’t get it around where I live and I’ll have to wait a while for it.
I just hate running out of products in general ha!
So I’m going to start with…
Benefit They’re Real! Mascara
I love this! So much so that I featured it in my ‘Masters of Mascara’ post, if you fancy a read you can click here.
I’m so sad that this is all gone! It’s definitely one of my favourites. It gives my lashes a great curl & seperates them very well, along with the lengthening aspect. Another thing I love about They’re Real is the brush. Once you’ve applied your mascara and you’re happy with it, you can then flip the wand and use the end of the brush to get to those small lashes that are usually ignored when applying mascara normally.
I definitely would buy this mascara again, I think it could now be a necessity to my make up bag!
Bourjous Maxi Delight Bronzer
I actually rarely buy Bourjous products, but this bronzer is another love of mine!
For one thing, it smells gorgeous! It leaves a lovely bronzed colour (maybe that’s stating the obvious, but it doesn’t come out as an orangey bronze) & it also has a bit of a sparkle in it too.
It’s also huge! – it’s a bit bigger than the palm of my hand. Saying that, it’s not great for leaving in your make up bag if you tend to throw it in your hand bag as you go out the door. I learnt that the hard way as mine broke! 😦
I never really used this bronzer for my face because of the slight sparkle, but I loved it for my neck and chest. You can see how much I actually used it as the writing is almost worn off on the lid 😂
I will 100% be buying this again! Loved it.
Aussie Miracle Dry Shampoo
I’m a big fan of Aussie products. But this is one thing I will not be buying again!
I’ve always bought Batiste dry shampoo, but I said I’d give this a go. Having high hopes as I was impressed with any Aussie shampoo & conditioner or sprays that I’ve used, I was so disappointed!
Unlike Batiste dry shampoo, Aussie sprays into your hair and leaves it feeling sticky – almost like you’re spraying hairspray into your roots.
I didn’t think it made any difference to the look of my hair & it just made my hair feel awful (not what you need when you’re already having a bad hair day!)
I’ll be sticking with the old reliable Batiste in future!
Soap & Glory Heel Genius
Another brand that I’m a big fan of 🙂 I’ve recently done a “Soap & Glory Favourites” post which you can take a look at here.
Again, I’m so sad that this is all gone! I loved putting it on a night time then putting fluffy socks over it (can’t go wrong with fluffy socks!)
It leaves your feet feeling so smooth. It also smells so fresh and clean.
This is another product I would buy again. 🙂
Declarē Cleansing Milk & Tonifying Lotion
These are samples I got at the Irish Bloggers Conference in a lovely goodie bag we received. For sample sizes, they were quite large which I was happy about!
These are another two must haves for me!
I usually use Garnier Micelluar Water to take off my make up, which I love! & I always thought it left my face completely free of make up. Declarē proved that wrong! After taking of my make up, I then used the cleanser which felt cool and refreshing on my face, as well as leaving my skin soft, but it also took any make up that my make up remover didn’t!
The toner was also amazing, it leaves your skin feeling so fresh and clean!
After running out of these two Declarē products, I found over the past couple of days that my skin isn’t as good as when I was using it.
I’m really excited to get this cleanser & toner in full sized bottles. It’s brilliant!
Lush Strawberry Shaving Cream

One word for this…
Wow.
I loved this so much! Shaving is the bane of my life. But I’ll have to admit thttps://apramie.wordpress.com/2015/07/08/july-empties/his made it that little bit easier! It smells absolutely fabulous (as all Lush products do!) and it’ll leave your legs softer than ever before. Another great thing is you only need to use the smallest bit as it spreads so, so easily. I actually got a day extra of that “just shaved my legs feeling” which I’m sure no one would complain about!
Another must buy again from me.
So there’s my July Empties, it may be a bit early for the end of the month but there you have it!
Has anyone tried any of these? Let me know what you thought in the comments 🙂

We love the Benefit mascara too! It’s just so pricey. We also love Batiste dry shampoo, and now it comes in brown which is great for us! Feel free to check out our blog, http://www.twinspiration.co 🙂

That’s the worst about it! The Soap & Glory one is just as good and I think it’s only about 12e.. Love Batiste! They have so many different scents too. Of course I will 🙂

Have you tried the Tressemme Dry Shampoo? I really love it! I’m saving up my empties for a blog but itll be in their soon. Ive also used the Dove Dry Shampoo. The Dove is pretty good but not as good as Tressemme or Batiste.

No I actually haven’t, I’ve tried Herbal Essence but it was almost the same as the Aussie! I’ll look forward to it 🙂
