SKIN CARE EMPTIES


I find skin care one of the hardest things to get my head around as there are so many different brands and products to choose from that more often than not do exactly the same thing, which is why I very rarely branch out and switch it up. I've been collecting my empty products for a few months now and I've finally finished enough skin care products to write about.


The first of my product empties is a facial wash by Neutrogena, I finished this a few months back and I wasn't very impressed with it. I found out after buying it that it was a cream wash, this means that it doesn't lather up at all when you add water. I really didn't like this formula because it felt like it wasn't washing my face at all and was just moving the dirt around. I will definitely be reading labels properly from now on and stay away from cream wash products.


The next product is a cleanser from Lush called 'let the good times roll' This was featured in my Lush skin care products post which you can read here. I actually finished this yesterday which was so sad because this is amazing! It has the strangest formula because its originally a paste and you add a small amount of water and massage it onto your skin. Once you wash it off your skin feels so soft, hydrated and clean I have defiantly recognised a change in my skin since using this.


I keep all my empty products in a box under my dressing table and this has been in there for what must be nearly a year now! I didn't want to get rid of it because of the fact that if you bring in 5 empty pots or tubes you get a free face mask. I now have 2 empty pots so 3 more to go! This face mask is aimed for oily skin types that often break out. Due to it being made from fresh ingredients you do have to keep it in the fridge but this makes it really cooling when you put it on your skin. I loved how clean and oil free my skin felt after using this product.


Another recent addition to my product empties is a moisturiser by Garnier. I bought this with the matching cleanser and toner as I was going through a stage where my skin was constantly so dry! This really did help although I wish it came in a bigger size as it didn't really last long and as you can tell from the packaging I made sure I got every last drop out. I mean this didn't surprise me in any way, it did what it said on the packet but I was expecting a little more from it because of it being for 'Dry to very Dry skin'. 

Thank you for sticking to the end of my empty skin care products I always like having a nosy at what people think of the products they have finished because it's good to see reviews before you purchase something as you then know what to expect and what you will get from it. What are your favourite skin care products?

ZARA WISH LIST

Okay so I've never really been one to online shop but I keep looking on different websites and my favourite to brows on at the moment is Zara. It's definitely one of my favourite places to shop at the moment as you can find some really nice good quality affordable items. Since summer is coming up Ive been looking at things to update my wardrobe as everything is so dark and long sleeved, nows a perfect time to start looking at things to save for. I thought I would keep this simple and just post images of some of the things that I've been looking at to help you gain inspiration for your summer wardrobe.










So as you can see these are just a few things on my Zara wish list at the moment, if I had stayed on the app any longer it would probably be about 10x bigger... but I definitely need to get saving as I'm getting so bored of my clothes at the moment and I love the quality of everything in Zara.
I hope this helped you get some inspiration for summer, are there any shops you have been loving at the moment?
