May Empties 2016 || Products I've Used Up
I've finished up the Boots Build Up Removal Shampoo which I use every Sunday without fail to remove any product build up that may have occured during a weeks worth of styling. I've used up the Provoke Touch Of Silver Brightening Shampoo that I use nearly every time I wash my hair in order to maintain my blonde and keep it looking fresh. I've finished up the Botanics 3 Minute Moisturising Hair Mask which did an okay job at conditioning my hair but it didn't really wow me. I've used up the L'Oreal Mythic Oil Hair Mask which did wow me at keeping my hair conditioned as I used it mainly as a conditioner instead of a hair mask. I've finished up the Soap & Glory The Righteous Butter which is one of my favourite body butters of all time as it just keeps my skin soft and hydrated for ages.
I've used up another Soap & Glory Clean On Me Shower Gel which long term readers will know that I use this to help achieve that silky soft feeling whilst shaving. I've finished up a Original Source Wild Cherry & Nettle Shower Gel which I absolutely loved using and am glad that I've got a few more in my stash. I've used up a Femfresh Daily Intimate Wash which all females should be using to clean those intimiate areas. I've finished up a Pretty Perfect Twist & Out Instant Nail Varnish Remover which is the only nail varnish remover I use to take off my nail varnish quickly and easily. I've used up the Boots Keep It Sweet Mango Jam Body Scrub which is a surprisingly good sugar scrub which costs barely anything!
I've finished up a Colgate Sensitive Pro Relief Toothpaste which does the job at keeping my sensitivity at bay. I've used up two No7 Protect & Perfect Advanced Serums which I'm still noticing improvements with the more I use it. I've finished up a MAC Studio Sculpt Foundation which I really enjoyed wearing as I mixed it in with a radiant foundation to create the perfect full cover, radiant base. I've used up the Seventeen Stay Time Concealer which is one of my all time favourite concealers to use on both blemishes and under eyes. I've finished up the Magnifibres Brush On False Lashes which helped me achieve a fuller looking lash. I've used up three packs of the Ardell Demi Wispies which are fast becoming my favourite lashes ever! I've finished up the Avene Hydrating Serum which my skin literally drank up the second I applied it. I've used up a Hylamide SubQ Anti-Age Advanced Serum which I used before applying Hydraluron to make my moisturiser go that little bit further.
I've used up two Gold Collagen Hydrogel Masks which I applied immediately after using a clay based mask to rehydrate my skin and make it feel hydrated for longer. I've used up a Primark Dark Circle Reducer Eye Patches which helped temporarily with my dark circles although the results were short lived. I've used up various face masks from Montagne Jeunesse including the Black Seaweed Peel Off, two Passion Peel Off, Manuka Honey Peel Off, Anti Stress Peel Off and the Brazillian Mud Fabric; all of which I would use again. I've used up the Cattier Pink Clay Mask which my skin didn't like and it completely ruined a muslin cloth taking it off. I've used up a Tea Tree & Peppermint Deep Moisturising Foot Pack which felt hydrating for a short period of time.
I've finished up three packs of the Wilko Maxi Oval Cotton Pads which are the only cotton pads I use. I've used up a pack of the No7 Quick Thinking Wipes which I use for everything but removing my makeup. Lastly, I've finished up the Nicki Minaj Pink Friday EDP that smelt good but I won't be repurchasing as I have far too many fragrances for one person.

April Empties 2016 || Products I've Used Up
I've finished up the La Roche Posay Serozinc which I use both morning and night after using an exfoliating toner. I bought quite a few cans of these when they first launched in the UK and I'm slowly making my way through my stash. I've used up the Botanics All Bright Cleansing Toner which I usually used in the mornings as its one of the most gentle exfoliating toners I've come across. I've finished up the La Roche Posay Effacer Duo+ which is a staple in my morning routine for helping keep any blemishes at bay whilst helping prevent any future ones. I've used up the No7 Protect & Perfect Advanced Serum which I use both morning and night to help prevent any first signs of ageing. I've finished up the Retinol Reface which I tend to use only a few times in the week to help keep my complexion even as well as to make it feel softer too. I've used up Hydraluron which long term readers will know is one of my holy grail products when it comes to keeping skin hydrated for longer.
I've finished up a The Body Shop Deep Sleep Dreamily Pillow & Body Mist which I tend to use most nights to help me get a decent nights sleep. It may seem a little unnecessary to most people but to me I cannot live without it although I have since settled with a much cheaper alternative! I've used up a travel sized Pixi Glow Tonic which is a exfoliating toner that helps to reveal brighter, more even skin. I definitely think that my previous one of this was a dud due to how old it was and this bottle has literally made me fall head over heels in love for the results it gives! I've finished up a travel sized Pai Camelia & Rose Gentle Hydrating Cleanser which is very similar to the Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish but just feels that little more creamier on the skin so I will definitely be purchasing this at some point. I've used up the Revlon Photoready Skinlights Face Illuminator in Bare Light which I tend to mix in with my foundation to help create a more radiant base. I've finished up the No7 Skin Illuminator which has become my new love in life as I use it both before foundation and mixed in with it to help create a more radiant base and I much prefer this over the Revlon offering. I've used up the L'Oreal Lumi Magique Pure Light Primer which I use as a primer before my foundation to not only make my foundation last longer but to make my skin appear more radiant. I've most definiely used up the L'Oreal Double Extensions Beauty Beauty Tubes Mascara as it's dried up completely! I use this as a primer for my mascara as it lengthens my lashes and gives a lot of volume. I've finished up the Seventeen Stay Time 18 Hour Wear Concealer in Extra Fair which I use both under my eyes to brighten up my dark circles as well as to conceal any pesky blemishes.
I've finished up a can of Batiste Tropical Dry Shampoo which I used on two day or even three day hair which helped make my hair appear cleaner than what it actually was. I've used up the Carino Moisture Deep Conditioning Treatment which I used nearly everytime I washed my hair as a deep conditoning treatment to help hydrate my heavily bleached/heat damaged hair and it's always worked a treat. I've finished up the Pro:voke Touch Of Silver Brightening Shampoo which I used nearly everytime I washed my hair as well. This has helped transform my blonde completely and has made my ombre more brighter in colour. I've used up the Lush Snow Fairy Shower Gel which as you can see is well and truly battered! This is one of the most sickly smelling shower gels I've come across however it's one of those scents that you cannot resist but using time and time again. I've finally finished up my Hugo Boss Nuit EDP that is a very floral, fruity scent that I used loved wearing most days. Once I finish up a few more fragrances, I'll definitely be repurchasing this one! I've used up the No7 Instant Illusions Airbrush Away Primer which is one of the very few primers that not only smoothes out any fine lines but it also helps make your skin appear more radiant whilst making your makeup last that little bit longer.
I've used up a pack of Wilko Maxi Oval Cotton Pads which are the only cotton wool pads I use without fail. I've finished up the Sanctuary Body Butter which was very hydrating and sunk in quickly but I felt that I used it up far too quickly. I've used up the No7 Intensive Radiance Body Scrub which I've started to dislike using as I believe that has been making my chicken skin worse on the tops of my arms. I've used up a pack of the No7 Quick Thinking Wipes which I use for everything but removing my makeup. I've used up the Macadamia Foot Pack which is a pair of infused plastic boots that you wear for about half hour or so. They were slightly hydrating but were more comical to look at and wear if I'm honest. Lastly, I've finished up the TIGI Bed Head Dumb Blonde Reconstructor which is not pictured as I've literally had to cut the bottle in half to finish it. This has literally transformed my hair and has made it feel so much softer and look so much healthier too.
I honestly don't know how I manage to use up a lot of products in one month as although it is a lot, it just feels like I'm hardly making a dent in my stash. Problems of being a beauty blogger eh? ;)

March Empties 2016 || Products I've Used Up
I've used up the Revlon Photoready Skinlights Face Illuminator in Pink Light which I mixed in with my foundation to create a more radiant base which certainly did the trick! The No7 Velvet Lash Mascara has sadly dried up on me but I thoroughly enjoyed using it to create intense volume and definition on a day to day basis. I've most definitely finished up the No7 Extreme Length Extend Mascara as the tube itself is looking a little worse for wear! This is literally one of my holy grail mascaras as it separates the lashes to give intense definition as well as creating lots of length too. I've used up the L'Oreal Revitalift Miracle Blur Instant Eye Smoother which was okay but didn't notice too much difference whilst using it. Technically, I didn't finish up all of the Hylamide SubQ Anti-Age as I spilt quite a fair bit of it whilst using it which I'm rather annoyed at for myself. This when used in conjunction with Hydraluron helps to keep the skin hydrated for longer whilst also battling any first signs of ageing. I've used up the Superdrug Clearly Youthful Resurfacing Night Serum which may have looked pretty funky but it helped to even out my skin whilst I slept.
I've used up the Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish in Orange Flower & Chamomile which I must admit isn't the best smelling of all scents! However it did help to cleanse my skin just as much as the original so I may consider repurchasing at some point if they ever come out with it again. I've finished up the Botanics All Bright Micellar Water which helped to remove all traces of makeup without any elbow grease. I've used up the Bioderma Sensible H2O which I can definitely understand the hype surrounding it! This helped remove all traces of makeup including eye makeup without tugging on the skin so despite how pricey it is, it's definitely worth it! I've finished up the Superdrug Naturally Radiant Brightening Hot Cloth Cleanser which is just as good as the Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish but at just the fraction of the cost! I much prefer the Vitamin E version however this is just as good to help cleanse my skin.
I've used up another beloved Soap & Glory Clean On Me Shower Gel that long time readers will know that I use to shave my legs with as it helps achieve that really silky just shaved feeling. I've finished up the EOS Vanilla Bliss Shave Cream which as much as it helped to leave my legs silky soft after shaving, I didn't particularly like it whilst shaving as I had to keep on cleaning my razor after every shave. I've used up the Femfresh Daily Intimate Wash which every female should be using to keep fresh in those more intimate areas. I've finished up a Wilko Instant Hand Sanitiser which I have multiples of dotted all around the place so it feels like it takes forever to use up just one however it works to remove all traces of dirt and makeup so I can't complain!
I've used up two packs of the No7 Quick Thinking Wipes which I use for everything but removing makeup. I've used up four packs of the Wilko Maxi Oval Cotton Pads which long term readers will know are the only cotton wool pads I use as they don't fall apart and are cheap as chips. I've used up a few Montagne Jeunesse Face Masks in the form of Dead Sea Mud Spa, Blemish Mud and Creamy Coconut. All of which I really enjoyed using and saw results almost immediately afterwards apart from Creamy Coconut which smelt of artificial coconuts that had gone off. Lastly, I've used up a few bath bombs from Lush including Ickle Baby Bot, Dashing Santa and Butter Bear as well as the Candy Mountain Bubble Bar.

February Empties 2016 || Products I've Used Up
You may want to grab yourself a cup of tea and get comfortable as this will be a very long post! First up, I've used up The Body Shop Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil which I found removed my makeup rather well including waterproof mascara. I've finished up a Sanctuary Radiance Exfoliator which for the record has crushed up walnut not plastic beads in it. This helps remove all dead skin cells and leaves the skin soft to the touch without drying it out. I've used up the Dr Jart+ V7 Balancing Toner which I didn't notice a huge difference whilst using and I found it rather annoying to use as you had to use the dropper a few times to get a decent amount onto a cotton wool pad. I've finished up a La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo+ which I use every morning without fail and helps keep any pesky blemishes at bay whilst helping to prevent any new ones from appearing. I've used up two No7 Protect & Perfect Advanced Serums which I use both morning and night before moisturising to help prevent the first signs of ageing. I think I'll have to invest in the bigger size of this from now on judging by the fact I've used up two tubes in one month!
I've finished up a Botanics Ultra Calm Skin Relief Serum which I used every so often when my skin was looking a little drier than normal to help double up on the moisturisation. I've used up a Lacura Aqua Complete Multi Intensive Serum which is pretty much identical to Hydraluron but at just a fraction of the price which sadly they've now discontinued altogether which is a shame as I thoroughly enjoyed using it. Speaking of Hydraluron, I've used up two tubes of it which just goes to show that I've been a little heavy handed with my products this month. This acts like a magnet with your moisturiser to help hydrate the skin further down and I will forever continue to repurchase and reuse it! I've finished up a Yes To Grapefruit Dark Circle Correcting Eye Cream which I felt didn't necessarily help correct my dark circles but it certainly did help keep my under eye area hydrated. I've used up the No7 Youthful Eye Serum which I use before any eye cream to help keep my under eyes hydrated which just like with Hydraluron, I will continue to repurchase and reuse. I've finished up a L'Oreal Youthcode Texture Perfector Moisturiser which didn't particularly wow me and just felt any other average moisturiser. I've used up two EOS Lip Balms in Watermelon and Summer Fruits both of which I loved just as much as the other. I seem to have these dotted all over the place hence why I've used up two. I'm so glad that I actually have a jar filled of these as I stocked up when I went to America as there's no way I'm paying £5+ for a lip balm!
I've used up a L'Oreal Lumi Magique Pure Light Primer which is one of my holy grail products! This just helps to create the perfect base ready for foundation whilst making the skin appear incredibly radiant. I've finally finished up the Neutrogena Nourishing Long Wear Makeup which I mixed with other foundations to create a custom base. The colour matched me well and I will definitely buy it again when I'm in America. I've used up a No7 Instant Illusions Airbrush Away Primer which I use before the L'Oreal primer purely to airbrush away any fine lines or wrinkles as it just helps to make everything appear smooth. I've finished up another MAC Eyebrow Pencil in Lingering which matches my brows so well and will continue to repurchase unless I find something else cheaper. I haven't used up the Rimmel Glitter Bomb Top Coat in Disco Diva as it's actually dried up however this is such a good nail colour for an accent nail as it's rose gold which packs a lot of glitter! I've also used a pair of Ardell Demi Wispies Fake Eyelashes which I wore for Valentines Weekend and it just made my eyes pop so I can definitely see myself buying these again.
I've finished a Tresemme Heat Defence which if I'm honest, I didn't get on with well as it worked brilliantly to protect freshly washed hair but on second day hair, it just made my hair feel and look greasy which is not ideal. I've used up a huge bottle of Dr Bronner's Magic Soap in Citrus which I used to wash all my makeup brushes and sponges weekly. I absolutely love this stuff and I will forever continue to repurchase it in either this scent or Almond. I've finished up the Moroccan Oil Treatment which I used every time I've washed my hair. I normally used around five to six pumps worth which I know is a lot however my hair definitely needed it! I will definitely repurchase this once I've used up my current hair oils. I've used up a Imperial Leather Apple & Pear Shower Gel which smells incredible fruity and lathers up nicely and will definitely use it again which is just as well, as I have a few more bottles of this in my stash.
I've used up a The Body Shop Almond Body Butter which smelt utterly divine and helped keep my body moisturised. If money was no object, I would buy hundreds of these in a heart beat but for the time being, I'll stick with my trust Soap & Glory ones. I've finished up a Boots Keep It Sweet Strawberry Jam Body Scrub which smells of very artificial strawberries however helps keep my pins exfoliated and is a fraction of the price of the Soap & Glory scrubs too. I've used a Colgate Sensitive Pro Relief Toothpaste which is just like any other normal sensitive toothpaste just not as pricey as most. Once I've used up my stash of these, I'm definitely going to try out a few different ones. I've finished up two packs of the Wilko Maxi Oval Cotton Pads which will forever feature in thesse empties. Lastly, I've used up three packs of the No7 Quick Thinking Wipes which I use for everything but removing makeup from my face. I've also used up quite a few of Lush Bath Bombs including Star Dust, Butterbear, Cinders, Ickle Baby Bot, Yog Nog and So White as well as one Lush Bubble Bar which was Bar Humbug.
If you've made it this far, I congratulate you as I will admit this is a rather lengthy post due to the amount of products I've used up this past month!

January Empties 2016 || Products I've Used Up
I've used up the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water which is a brilliant budget friendly micellar water that removes practically all traces of makeup which comes in a massive bottle! I've finished up another Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish which I will forever to have in my stash as it's one of the best hot cloth cleansers I've used which doesn't irritate my skin. I haven't used up the Lush The Kiss Lip Scrub however I'm having to throw it out because it smells off despite not actually going off till March. I've used up the Lancome Effacil Gentle Eye Makeup Remover which removed all eye makeup but I felt like I went through it too quickly especially when it is rather pricey. I've finished up another No7 Youthful Eye Serum which I use under eye cream to help keep my under eye area hydrated. I've finally used up the Dove Nourishing Oil Care Leave In Conditioning Spray which has helped keep my locks silky soft and nourished.
I've finished up another bottle of the Soap & Glory Clean On Me Shower Gel which long term readers will know I use to shave my legs with as it helps keep the just shaved feeling for longer. I've used up another Boots Build Up Removal Shampoo which I use every sunday to remove any product build up that I may have built up during thr week. I've finished up the I Love.. Perfectly Peachy Shower Gel which smells absolutely beautiful, lathers up well and promotes us women to CoppaFeel - literally! I've used up two tubs of the No7 Intensive Radiance Body Scrub which is one of the more grittier scrubs I've used without being too harsh on the skin. I've finished up the No7 Intensive Body Butter which smells divine and leaves the skin silky soft too.
I've finished up the No7 Instant Illusions Airbrush Away Primer which doesn't necessarily airbrush away all imperfections but it does create a nice base ready for foundation. I've used up the Talika Eye Therapy Patch which I got two instead of three uses from and they helped to hydrate my under eye area. I've finished up the Seventeen Stay Time 18 Hour Concealer in Extra Fair which I use to conceal any blemishes and my dark circles. I've used up the Lush Pink FUN which I primarily used to create bubbles with. I've finished up the Rimmel Exaggerate Lip Liner in East End Snob which I used to create the appearance of a fuller lip and to create a base for any lipstick I used on top. I've used up the Lancome Cils Booster XL which helped to make my lashes look fanned out and more defined. I've finished up the Benefit Gimme Brow which I use to set my eyebrows once I've my eyebrow pencil and powder. I've used up the Pretty Perfect Twist & Out Instant Nail Varnish Remover which is the only nail varnish I use. I've finished up a L'Oreal Mythic Oil Hair Mask which I used mainly as a conditioner as it helps nourish my hair and keep it in tip top condition.
I've finished up three packs of the No7 Quick Thinking Wipes which I use to remove foundation off my hands, clean surfaces with and to define my eye makeup with. I've used up two packs of the Wilko Maxi Oval Cotton Pads which are the only cotton pads I use as they don't fall apart at the first sign of liquid. I've also used up a few things from Lush including a Butter Bear Bath Bomb which is so cute and makes your skin feel really soft; a Cinders Bath Bomb which makes the bath crackle and pop and the Golden Wonder Bath Bomb which is a huge bath bomb that puts on a wicked water show.
I've finished up another bottle of the Soap & Glory Clean On Me Shower Gel which long term readers will know I use to shave my legs with as it helps keep the just shaved feeling for longer.

Septemer Empties || Products I've Used Up
I've used the Boots Build Up Removal Shampoo which I use religiously every Sunday to remove any product build up that I may have built up during the week. It's really gentle on the hair whilst being effective too and for the price it certainly is a budget find gem! I've finished up the OGX Biotin & Collagen Shampoo + Conditioner which I didn't really get on with at all. The shampoo was absolutely fine however the conditioner was far too thick to use let alone get out of the bottle which is something that OGX need to address. I've used up the L'Oreal Fibrology Thickening Mask which I used whenever my hair needed a quick fix in terms of thickening up and hydrating and it certainly didn't disappoint! Another Sunday ritual product is the Dove Damage Solutions Intensive Repair Express Treatment Conditioner which I used as a hair mask to help hydrate and repair my hair after a weeks worth of heat styling which does the trick.
I've used up the Liz Earle Orange Flower & Chamomile Cleanse & Polish which is just like the original but with a different scent. This particular scent has an acquired taste but does a brilliant job at cleansing the skin. I've finally finished the No7 Cleansing Oil which I've been trying to use up for the longest time ever! I used this primarily as a first cleanse to remove the bulk of my makeup and it did the job brilliantly although I often got it in my eyes due to using it to remove my eye makeup which irritated my eyes. I've used up the Garnier Simply Essentials 2-in-1 Makeup Remover which is a brilliant budget makeup remover as it removes all makeup almost instantly with one swipe. I will definitely continue to repurchase this! I've finished up another tube of Hydraluron which long term readers will know that I have a long term love affair with and will continue to repurchase and reuse. I've used up two bottles of Lacura Aqua Complete Multi Intensive Serum which is a much cheaper version of Hydraluron so essentially I only need to use one but when you combine the two together, you get even better results. I've finially finished the Avene Cleanance K Exfoliating Cream Gel which was a very potent cream that I would only appear if I had any active blemishes as it quite literally stung them to high heavens. This has since been discontinued and replaced with Cleanance K Expert which sadly is not the same.
I've used up two packs of the Wilko Maxi Oval Cotton Pads which will forever be the only cotton wool pads I use as they're absolutely brilliant for the price. I've finished up the No7 Protect & Perfect Advanced Serum which is still far too early to see groundbreaking results from but I know that with continued daily use, the early signs of fine lines around my eyes will disappear. Speaking of eyes, I've used up the No7 Youthful Eye Serum which you apply before your eyecream which many may deem as an unnecessary step however it truly does help to hydrate the under eye area more when teamed up with an eye cream. I've finished up the Revlon Photoready Skinlights Face Illuminator in 100 Bare Light which I mix in with my foundation to give a radiant, dewy finish which I will forever continue to use. I've used up the Clearasil Superfruits Refreshing Pads which are a good product to use if you're just starting off with acidic toners as these liquid soaked pads definitely pack quite the punch and are truly effective! Lastly, I've used up a EOS Lipbalm in Pomegranate Raspberry which is one of my favourite scents they do and I will forever continue using their lipbalms.

August Empties || Products I've Used Up
I've used up the Soap & Glory Clean On Me Shower Gel that seems to feature in almost every empties post as I use it primarily as a shaving lotion as it not only does it help aid in getting a closer shave but it helps moisturise my skin at the same time. I've finished up the Sanctuary Cleansing Burst Body Wash which was an okay shower gel however I wouldn't rush out to repurchase as there are much cheaper ones out there which do the same job. I've finally used up the Dove Dry Shampoo which at first I didn't like but then I grew to love it. It helped make second, third or even fourth day hair a lot more manageable whilst smelling really pleasant. I've used up the Sanctuary Body Scrub which is far too gentle for my liking as I prefer something a lot more harsh but it still did an okay job. I've finished up another Femfresh Daily Intimate Wash which all women should be using for those intimate areas.
I've used up the VO5 Heat Protect Styling Spray which has to be one of the better heat protections I've used as distributes the product out nicely whilst smelling really good. I've finished up a Liz Earle Instant Boost Skin Tonic which I went through far too quickly as I've missed how good it truly is! It helps to soothe and tone the skin after cleansing and/or chemically exfoliating without making the skin feel dry. I've used up the Soap & Glory Drama Clean Micellar Water which felt like I went through rather quickly despite it doing a decent job at removing the bulk of my makeup. I've finished up yet another La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo+ which is one of the only few serums that I use on a daily basis without fail. It helps to remove blemishes entirely whilst preventing new ones without irritating the skin. I've lost track as to how many tubes I've gone through of this now. I've used up a No7 Protect & Perfect Advanced Serum which again I use on a daily basis as it helps to prevent any signs of aging whilst hydrating the skin and making it feel silky soft. I've finished up yet another Hydraluron which is one beauty product that I cannot live without! This works as a magnet with your moisturiser to help hydrate the skin deep down and is another product that I cannot keep track as to how many I've gone through. I've used up a Colgate Sensitive Pro Relief + Whitening Toothpaste which is a brilliant budget toothpaste that not only helps with sensitivity but helps make teeth appear whiter too. I may repurchase this as soon as I've finished my current one.
I've used up two packs of the Wilko Maxi Oval Cotton Pads which are the only cotton pads I use as they're just the right size which fits my face without falling apart at the first sign of liquids. I've finished up the Pretty Twist & Out Instant Nail Varnish Remover which is basically a pot that has a sponge that has been soaked in nail varnish remover where you simply put your nail in and twist, until all the nail varnish is removed. It works brilliantly on all nail varnishes apart from glitters. I've used up a pack of the No7 Quick Thinking Wipes which I use for everything but taking off my makeup and will forever feature in these empties posts. I've finished up a MAC Eyebrow Pencil in Lingering which matches my brows perfectly and helps make them look fuller. Lastly, I've used up a Collection Fast Stroke Liquid Eyeliner which is one of the best liquid eyeliners I've used as it truly is black and doesn't budge.
I've used up the VO5 Heat Protect Styling Spray which has to be one of the better heat protections I've used as distributes the product out nicely whilst smelling really good. I've finished up a Liz Earle Instant Boost Skin Tonic which I went through far too quickly as I've missed how good it truly is!

Lastly, I've used up a Collection Fast Stroke Liquid Eyeliner which is one of the best liquid eyeliners I've used as it truly is black and doesn't budge.

July Empties || Products I've Used Up
I've finished up the L'Oreal Fibrology Shampoo + Conditioner which my hair just loves! It's a thickening duo that helps make your hair feel thicker after each use which lasts so I'll definitely be picking up another one of these soon! I've used up the Aussie Take The Heat 3 Minute Miracle which I use every Sunday to help make my hair feel silky soft after a weeks worth of heat damage and it certainly does the trick! I've finished up yet another Soap & Glory Clean On Me Shower Gel which I use as a shaving lotion and will forever repurchase. I've used up a Soap & Gory Sugar Crush Body Wash which although lathered up nicely and smelt good, it just didn't particularly wow me. I've finished up the Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Scrub which is one of their more grittier scrubs and definitely helped buff away dead skin! I've used up the Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Buttercream which was so hydrating on the skin and made my skin feel incredibly soft to the touch!
I've finally finished the huge Taaj Himalaya Micellar Water which I loved using to remove the bulk of my makeup except for my eye makeup as it sure stung! I've used up the No7 Soft & Soothed Gentle Toner which felt nice on the skin just went through it far too quickly although I will be repurchasing as soon as I've used up some more toners. I've finished up another Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish which will forever be in my stash as it's just such a good all rounder cleanser. I've used up the Botanics Rosewater Toning Spritz which is a good alternative to the likes of Serozinc say except the Botanics offering is far more moisturising! I've finished another No7 Protect & Perfect Advanced Serum which is still growing on me despite this being my second tube! It's one of those serums that I bet you won't see immediate results until you stop using it. I've used up another beloved Lacura Aqua-Complete Multi Intensive Serum which I much prefer over Hydraluron but will continue using the two together. Speaking of Hydraluron, I've finished up another tube of the stuff! The two combined is a hydration seeking match made in heaven! I've used up the Boots Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Exfoliating Pads which although I liked using at first, they started to feel a little dry towards the end. I've finished up the Carino Miracle Oil which despite being such a small bottle, it lasted for what felt like forever! This helped keep my locks in tip top condition which despite how much I fry it with heat, it still kept it manageable.
I've used up two packs of the No7 Quick Thinking Wipes which will forever feature in these empties posts along with a pack of the Wilko Maxi Oval Cotton Pads as these two are just staples in my everyday life. I've finished up the Estee Lauder Little Black Primer which I mainly used as a primer before applying my mascara to help tint the lashes whilst giving them a curl and it sure does work wonders for my short lashes! I've used up the L'Oreal Lumi Magique Pure Light Primer which I use as both a primer, highlighter and mixed in with my foundation to create the perfect radiant base. This will forever be repurchased as it just makes my skin look so luminuous! I've finished up a MAC Eyebrow Pencil in Lingering which is the perfect colour match for my brows. Lastly, I've used up a bunch of Lush products which aren't pictured including Big Blue Bath Bomb, Cinders Bath Bomb, Fizzbanger Bath Bomb, Blue Skies & Fluffy White Clouds Bubble Bar, Candy Mountain Bubble Bar, Space Girl Bath Bomb and Ickle Baby Bot Bath Bomb.

June Empties || Products I've Used Up
I've finally finished up the Dr Bronner's Magic Soap of which I had it in Almond. This smelt beautifully and washed my makeup brushes up a treat! I've already moved onto my next bottle of this but this time, in Citrus. I've used up the Not Your Mother's Way To Grow Long & Strong Shampoo & Conditioner which I thoroughly enjoyed using despite it not necessarily helping my hair grow longer and stronger quickly. I've finished up another Boots Build Up Removal Shampoo which I will forever repurchase as it does the job at removing product build up. I've used up the L'Oreal Ever Riche Nourishing Intense Mask which made my hair feel silky soft after every use!
I've used up another Garnier Simply Essentials Soothing 2 in 1 Makeup Remover which helps remove my makeup within an instant without drying it out. I've finished up the Clearasil Ultra Blemish+Marks Scrub which I thoroughly enjoyed using for the days when I fancied a manual exfoliator rather than a chemical exfoliator - I've already moved onto my next tube! I've used up the Soap & Glory The Ultimelt Deep Purifying Hot Cloth Cleanser which has to be one of most skin smoothing, hydrating cleansers I've tried. I've used up The Body Shop Camomile Gentle Eye Makeup Remover which is anything but gentle as it stung my eyes nearly every time that I used it! I've finished up another Pretty Perfect Twist & Out Instant Nail Varnish Remover which is the only nail varnish remover that I use. I've used up the Aveeno Positively Radiant Intensive Night Cream which I much prefer when my skin is a lot more dehydrated as my skin seems to drink it right up.
I've used up another La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo+ which has definitely helped keep blemishes at bay as well as reduce the appearance of scarring left over from blemishes. I've finished up a tube of Colgate Sensitive Pro Relief + Whitening Toothpaste which has made such a big improvement to the sensitivity and whiteness of my teeth! I've used up another L'Oreal Lumi Magique Pure Light Primer which I use as both a primer to make my skin appear more radiant as well as mixing it in with my foundation to make my base more dewy. I've finished up the No7 Extreme Length Extend Mascara which I prefer the sample size brush of rather than the full size as they seperate my lashes better than the full size however it's still a good all rounder. I've finally used up my No7 Instant Radiance Highlighter which I love using as a highlighter both underneath and over my foundation to help achieve a glowy look. I haven't quite used up the Sally Hansen Double Duty Base & Top Coat as it's started to dry up however it definitely did the trick as both a base and a top coat.
I'm trying to use up my ridiculous stash of Lush products before I buy any more bubble bath/lush products so I've used up the Blackberry Bath Bomb, Bombardino Bath Bomb, Cinders Bath Bomb, Dashing Santa Bath Bomb and Golden Wonder Bath Bomb which all helped make my baths that little bit better. I've used up two packs of the Wilko Maxi Oval Cotton Wool Pads which are the only cotton wool pads that I use! And lastly, I've used up a pack of the No7 Quick Thinking Wipes for everything but removing my makeup.

May Empties || Products I've Used Up
I've used up the VO5 Heat Protect Styling Spray which is the second one that I've used up as there's just something addictive about the scent which makes me want to use it all the time in conjuction with the fact that it's brilliant for protecting my hair against heat. I've finished up yet another Soap & Glory Clean On Me Shower Gel which I've mentioned so many times now on here that I do I really have to go on? I've used up the Aussie Colour 3MM which was okay but didn't particularly impress me as much as say the Reconstructor version. I've finished a tube of Sudocrem which I use on any blemishes as an overnight treatment or burns/rashes and it does the trick. I've used up another one of my beloved Lacura Aqua-Complete Multi Intensive Serum which I much prefer over Hydraluron as it just feels more hydrating yet I still use both of them together. I've finished up a pot of Origins Ginzing Moisturiser which smelt so fruity and awakening! This I loved for using in the mornings as it made my skin appear more awake and it helped keep my skin hydrated. I've used up the No7 Protect & Perfect Advanced Serum which I'm still sat on the fence despite already moving onto my next tube.
I've used up Lush's Brightside Bubble Bar which I managed to get quite a few baths out of and it created a decent amount of bubbles whilst smelling insanely good. I've used up Lush's Creamy Candy Bath Bubble Bar which I only got four baths out of as it seemed to melt at any sign of body heat. This didn't create a good amount of bubbles but it still smelt good. I've used up Lush's Fizzbanger Bath Ballistic which I thoroughly enjoyed watching it fizz away - I will most definitely be repurchasing a few of these at christmas time! I've finished up two packs of No7 Quick Thinking Wipes which I use for everything but taking off makeup. I've used up the Boots Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Cleansing & Toning Wipes which I used on my days off from work to refresh my skin. I've finished two packs of the Wilko Maxi Oval Cotton Wool Pads which are the only cotton wool pads I buy and use.
I've used the L'Oreal Lumi Magique Pure Light Primer which I've gone through so many tubes of as it's brilliant for creating a radiant base and adding that dewy effect to any skin. I've finished up yet another Bourjois Radiance Reveal Healthy Mix Foundation which is primarily my mixing foundation for other foundations but when used by itself, it gives a radiant medium coverage. I've finally used up my first bottle of Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation which has taken me the longest time ever to finish! I personally find this to be too heavy for my skin so I like to mix it with the Bourjois offering to create a full cover, radiant finish which lasts all day. I'm the shade Bone which looks quite yellow in the bottle but matches me almost perfectly. Lastly, I've used up a Gallery Club Nail Varnish in Silver Sparkle which is by far the best silver glitter nail varnish I've come across as it's opaque in one coat and is so sparkly!

April Empties || Products I've Used Up
I've used up the Boots Build Up Removal Shampoo which helps remove product build up and will continue to repurchase and reuse. I've finished up the Aussie 3MM Reconstructor which I use every Sunday to help give my hair the nourishment it needs after a week of styling. I've used up the Sanctuary Body Wash which is a nice hydrating shower gel that lathered up nicely and I will probably end up repurchasing soon. I've finished up the EOS Shave Cream in Pomegranate Raspberry which I loved as it helped give a close shave although I went through it too quickly. I've used up the L'Oreal Ever Riche Nourishing & Flowing Shampoo + Conditioner which I'm still sat on the fence about as although it left my hair clean and soft, I'm still a little unsure about them.
I've finished up a bottle of Femfresh which every female should be using to keep their ladyparts clean - enough said! I've used up the Sanctuary Gentle Polish Body Scrub which as the name suggests is a very gentle scrub which is nowhere near enough exfoliating as I like. I've finished up another Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish which I thoroughly enjoyed using and will always have a bottle of this in my stash. I've used up a can of La Roche Posay Serozinc which helped keep my skin clear and will forever have a can in my stash. I've finished up another Garnier Simply Essentials Soothing 2-in-1 Makeup Remover which I use round Liams' as it removes my makeup very quickly and is cheap as chips.
I've used up a Sanctuary Body Butter which helped keep my skin hydrated and made it feel soft - will most probably end up repurchasing. I've finished up another Pretty Perfect Twist & Out Instant Nail Varnish Remover which is the only nail varnish remover I use as it removes any nail varnish within seconds. I've used up the Lacura Aqua-Complete Moisturiser which helped keep my skin hydrated and plump without breaking the bank. I've finished up the Botanics Ultra Calm Skin Relief Serum which I used on a nightly basis to help soothe my skin and I've already repurchased it. I've used up the Collection Fast Stroke Eyeliner which is absolutely brilliant for the price! I've finished up the Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara which I loved at first but didn't enjoy it quite as much when it got a bit drier. I've used up the No7 Midnight Lash Macara which I thoroughly loved and will repurchase! I've finished up a MAC Eyebrow Pencil in Lingering which is the only eyebrow pencil I use and will forever repurchase. I didn't really finish up the Rimmel Scandal Eyes Kohl Pencil in Black as the end broke off but regardless, it's a brilliant black eyeliner which I will be repurchasing once I've used up a few more.
I've used up Lush Bunch Of Carrots which helped create a ton of bubbles and turned the water orange. I've used up a Lush Heart Throb Bubble Bar which again helped create a mountain of bubbles whilst turning the water a beautiful shade of red with glitter everywhere. I've used up the Montagne Jeunesse Black Seaweed Peel Off Masque which although it was very messy, it definitely did the trick! Lastly, I've finished up three packs of my beloved Wilko Maxi Oval Cotton Pads which are the only cotton wool pads that I will use.
