Products I've Used Up #1

I am one of those people that doesn't like throwing anything away, and I've really gone over board this time, because I am actually keeping empty products that should really be in the bin! I thought it would be interesting to show you some of the empty products that I have used up in the last few months, and tell you my thoughts on if I liked the product and if I would repurchase it.

Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Reconstruction (deep conditioner) 
I have had this before and I love it so much! If your hair is damaged, you use a lot of heat on it or even if you want it to have a little pick me up, then this is great. It's basically a conditioner which you apply to wet hair for 3 minutes, you can leave it on for less if you like. But it's super easy, it smells amazing and I would 100% buy it again.

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water (sensitive skin) 

This Product is heaven for a lazy gal, it's basically a makeup remover which is so gentle to the skin. I use it as my first cleanse, so I use it to take the majority of my makeup off before I used my Estee Lauder Perfectly clean cleanser. This is the larger bottle which is 400ml, and it lasts for ages! I already have got another one of these, so would defiantly repurchase.

Boujous Volume 1 Seconde Mascara 
Before this mascara, I had never tried a mascara from Boujous. I love their foundations especially the healthy mix serum, that is gorgeous. However, this mascara didn't really 'wow me' the brush is a plastic brush, that is quite big really. I found it did give volume, but nothing amazing. I don't really understand the '1 second' thing either, I just wouldn't really recommend this product and I wouldn't buy it again. A mascara which I love is the Maybelline Lash Sensational. 

The Body Shop Indian Night Jasmine Shower Gel 
Oh my goodness this smells incredible, its my favourite scent from The Body Shop. It's a very warm, kind of woody scent. I own the fragrance mist also so to build the scent up I used the shower gel along with the mist. I just love this scent so much, go go go and smell it!

Rimmel London Exaggerate Lip Liner - Eastend Snob 063
I actually have used up three of these lip liners, so I'm sure that tells you I love this colour, the formula and they are affordable too. Just perfect, its the most amazing pinky nude shade. I mostly use this lip liner all over my lips with a bit of lip balm, it looks lovely and I'm obsessed. It's an automatic lip liner, so no need to sharpen, which I love because it's so much easier. Of course I would repurchase this liner, its incredible and I can't not have one in my makeup bag!

I hope you have enjoyed this blog post, and seeing what I have been using up! Let me know of some products you have been using up.

3 Perfect Female Fragrances for Valentines Gifts

Personally for me, I am not a huge fan of Valentines day this is because I think that everyday you should show that you love someone not just one day of the year. This doesn't mean I expect a bunch of flowers every single day, even though that does sound nice.

Anyway, if you are a guy reading this then *high five* to you for reading a girls blog... But seriously, heres three fragrances which I love and would be perfect for Valentines day. I think fragrance is such a lovely gift, because it's a personal option for the recipient. I know that it's hard for someone to pick some fragrances for the opposite sex, you don't know where to start, you don't know if they will like it and you just don't want to waste your money on something. (Tip - if you do buy someone a fragrance and you really aren't sure if they will like it, don't let them open the packaging, just go into a shop with them and test it with the tester - on the skin. Then if they don't like it, you can return it).

Chanel Coco Mademosielle EDP

This fragrance is just my favourite smell in the entire world, I don't know anyone that doesn't like the smell of this, it's just gorgeous. Chanel is such a luxury brand, and you know when you buy Chanel you are getting quality and your loved one will love you for it!

It comes in three different sizes:

30ml - £49
50ml - £68
100ml - £96

Top Notes: Orange, Mandarin Orange, Orange Blosson and Beragmot
Middle Notes: Mimosa, Jasmine, Turkish Rose and Ylang-Ylang
Base Notes: Tonka Bean, Patchouli, Opoponax, Vanilla, Vetiver and White Musk

Marc Jacobs Decadence EDP

This is a new fragrance, I think that its very different to Marc Jacobs normal floral fragrances such as daisy. This is a bit more woody to me, and I prefer it a lot. Marc Jacobs is known for his fine fragrances, they are very popular and very beautiful.

It comes in three different sizes:

30ml - £48.50
50ml - £59
100ml - £86

Notes: Italian Plum, Saffron and Iris, Bulgarian Rose, Sambac jasmine and Orris Root

The bottle design is inspired by one of Marc Jacobs iconic bags.

Paco Rabanne Olympia EDP

This was launched in August 2015. It represents the female version of Paco Rabanne Invictus for men. This perfume just reminds me of an angel or something gorgeous like that, jus the bottle and the packaging of the box. I believe you can't go wrong with this fragrances.

It comes in three different sizes:

30ml - £40
50ml - £54
80ml - £59.50

Top Notes: Sparkling Green Mandarin, Aquatic Notes of Water Jasmine and Fiery Ginger Lily
Middle Notes: Salted Vanilla
Base Notes: Sandalwood, Cashmere and Ambergris


I hope this helped you, or you found it interesting to find out what is actually in these fragrances with all the different notes. Hope you have a lovely Valentines day, even if you are happy and single on the sofa with a fat takeaway - enjoy! Lots & lots of love ♥♥♥♥♥
