New Ins and Repurchases

Following on from last weeks Empties post I thought I'd let you in to see what was so good that I bought again and what I decided to try out instead. Let's start with shampoo and conditioner. I had been using the Lee Stafford Big Fat Healthy Hair range for a number of years but it had gotten to the point where it wasn't really washing my hair properly (which would help seeing as though that's its purpose). As Aussie was on 3 for £10 I thought why not take advantage so I bought the Miracle Moist Shampoo and Conditioner and the 3 Minute Miracle Hair Treatment . So far I've been loving these so much. My hair seems to be in a really nice condition and I can go longer in between washes. The smell is just incredible and they make me look forward to having a good deep clean. Moving onto the Seaweed Toner from The Body Shop which I will repurchase forever and ever until the end of time. It works perfectly on my skin and helps keep the oil at bay! In terms of highlighter I've been using the Maybelline Eyeshadow in Golden Beige after my L'Oreal one came to an end. It works exactly the same. Same colour, pigmentation, shimmery-ness, the lot. I've never used a 'proper highlighter' before so this works just fine for me. I got this mini Frozen Cranberries Body Butter from The Body Shop for my birthday and it smells so good. It's a little less thick than the coconut one but it moisturises just the same which is fine by me. Although it was a Christmas scent, it isn't overly festive so I can use it now and not feel like I'm trying to cling on to December. Finally, I've replaced my Vitamin E Night Cream with a mini Vichy Night Cream. So far I've been really enjoying it. It's thick and sinks well into he skin without making it too greasy. I've not priced up a full size but after the mini runs out I may have to purchase.

Empties #1

This is my first ever empties post and I have to say it's taken me longer than I thought it was going to to build up a little stash, but I've done it so let's get started. I've been using the Lee Stafford shampoo and conditioners for about three years and my favourites have been from the big fat hair range. They're around £8 each and do quite a good job of volumising the hair. I've been through a fair few bottles over the years but recently it's not been quite doing it for me. My hair just doesn't seem to be getting washed properly and it can feel very greasy. I think I may have to move on to bigger and better things. Next up is my beloved Seaweed Toner from The Body Shop. I don't think I could live without this. It's done wonders for my oily skin and it just seems to keep the grease at bay. I will forever repurchase this, probably for the rest of time. In 2009 I got this L'Oreal Golden Eyeshadow free in a set. I thought that it was going to be something that I was never going to use, but I think that the fact I've finished it proved me wrong. I used this as a highlight and it was really nice, shimmery not too glittery and a nice colour. I don't think they sell this anymore so I'll have to find another replacement, but I already have one in mind. My Vitamin E Night Cream from The Body Shop has done me well over this past year but our time has come to an end. I really liked the way that this moisturised my skin without making it oily and it was a good price considering it's lasted me just under 12 months. At the minute I'm trying another night cream but if that doesn't work out I'd definitely repurchase. This Coconut Body Butter from The Body Shop is just insane! Smells amazing, moisturises like no other and lasts not too badly either. Everyone knows how great these body butters are but the coconut one is thicker than some of the others which in my opinion makes it thicker as it gives your body a good moisturise. Love it!

Stay tuned next week to see what I've repurchased and what new stuff I'm trying out!
