Empties

I can't remember ever having done an empties post before. If I have, it must have been a very long time ago. Here are my recently used up products:


Umberto Giannini Glam Hair Grunge Glamour Tousled Salt Spray - £6 
I think I received this spray in a beauty box a couple of months ago and since then I've been using it every single morning. This salt spray gives my hair such a lovely voluminous texture without leaving it sticky or heavy. This big bottle lasted me about two months with daily use. I will definitely get some more!

Tend Skin The Skin Care Solution For Unsightly Razor Bumps, Ingrown Hair And Razor Burns - £12
I bought this solution from Amazon a year ago as I was experiencing sore, red skin every time I shaved my legs. I read so many good reviews and thought I'd try it out. I have to admit, it really does work! It reduces the appearance of red razor bumps within hours and leaves skin soft and smooth. It also prevents ingrown hairs. This product is truly a miracle. I am testing out some other brands at the moment but I'm quite tempted to get a second bottle of Tend Skin!

Mer & Mistral Shower Gel sample bottle 
I received this tiny shower gel in the L'Occitane edition of My Little Box and to be honest I have not been very impressed. It does cleanse the skin but I had to use a lot of product to get a nice lather! Sadly, it left my skin dry and flaky and I had to use my moisturiser immediately afterwards. I wouldn't buy this at £12 a bottle. 

MONUSpa Warming Ginger Body Oil sample bottle
We don't have a bath in our flat but this Warming Body Oil luckily also works perfectly under the shower! I only needed a small amount of oil rubbed into my skin just before rinsing. The oil instantly emulsified into a milk and left my skin nourished with no oily residue. This tiny bottle lasted me ages! I would love to try this in a bath too.


Sally Hansen Maximum Growth Cuticle & Nail Moisture Treatment Pen - £6
I have been using these pens for years now. I try out other brands every now and then but I always come back to this product! I get very dry hands. Rough, breaking and peeling cuticles are my biggest problems during cold weather. This Sally Hansen cuticle pen nourishes my dry cuticles and nails instantly. It contains Vitamins A, C, E, Pro-vitamin B5 and Aloe, which all deeply hydrate, nourish, moisturise and support nail growth. This pen has a really soft brush which makes it easy to apply. 

Max Factor Masterpiece Mascara - £9.99
This mascara is one of my all time favourites! It separates my lashes well, doesn't leave them clumpy, gives lash volume and lasts a long time. I have repurchased this mascara so many times that I have lost count. I'm disappointed that I've run out of this product but at the same time I now have the chance to test out some other mascaras I've recently bought or received from beauty boxes.

The Body Shop Manchester Arndale Bloggers Event

I've been blogging for almost two years now but I'd still consider myself a newbie in the blogging world. On Thursday I had the chance to go to my first bloggers event at The Body Shop in Manchester to celebrate the release of an amazing new range on the 5th of May, including new bronzing items and a couple of vitamin C products! I was wearing my butterfly bow-tie brooch to the event and styled it with a white short sleeved shirt. It was a closed door event, so it was a good opportunity to browse all of the products and explore the new ones thoroughly! The event started at 8pm and I was one of the first ones to arrive. We were welcomed with milkshakes, fruit cocktails and lemonade. I went for water - shy and modest! There was also a white chocolate fountain and strawberries we had the chance to enjoy. The event was carried out by Fiona - she is a skin expert at the Manchester store. Everyone was able to get personal skin consult...

OOTD - The sun has come out!

It has been such a long time since my last fashion post, I've been missing them so much! The second the sun came out, Tristan and I went to the canal and took a few pictures. I think it is still too early for sunglasses but a light jacket is okay when you wear a jumper underneath (Primark) and a cosy leopard print scarf (Linea Cashmink) around your neck.  My black Veromoda jacket and shoes are both from Best Secret. You'll all know by now how much I've been raving about it. I think it is an amazing place for online shopping. I love the copper detailing and the simple look on my jacket, plus it's super lightweight. My trainers are by Puma & Alexander McQueen (click here to read my previous post). I also just noticed that I don't have any good shots of my Michael Kors bag, which I absolutely adore by the way! I'm sure everybody knows how beautiful these bags are so I think this will do for now. The bag and scarf were both Christmas presents fr...

Lilla Rose Flexi Clips

  Today I want to talk a bit about my hair and my recent purchase from a company called Lilla Rose . Lilla Rose is a unique hair and jewellery accessory company from the US. They have many different hair items but I was more interested in their beautiful and well-known Flexi Clip. I got myself two of these - Autumn's Delight in size small and Festive Leaf in extra small. Before ordering I made sure of which size would fit best for my flat and thin hair.       Both of my Flexi Clips look stunning. The beaded wire is quite bendable but strong, the sliding pin is adjustable and they feel high-quality. I chose mine in a copper/rust shade but there are also silver and gold shades and so many different styles and colours available. As I recently cut my long hair short, I don't have many options with styling. I usually just wear my hair in a ponytail or a half ponytail. Autumn's Delight fits all my hair between the clip and Festive Leaf is perfect for a smal...
