August Empties!

I love finishing products, there's something rather satisfying about it. Plus I feel like I can open something new from my stash, which seems to be never-ending!

Ooh it's lovely to see lots of empty products, don't you agree?

This was my treat of a bubble bath this month. I love the Soap and Glory smell and this made my skin silky soft! I loved using loads of this in my bath, I always want hundreds of bubbles! Baths are my favourite way to relax, and this bubble bath made me feel very calm. I highly recommend it!

I still have some of the matching Dove Shampoo to finish, but I always seem to get through conditioner faster. I think I probably use too much, but I love the shine it leaves. This is a nice, if not great, conditioner. Nothing very special to say about it, my hair felt smooth afterwards and I would buy it again. But it wouldn't be first on my list!

I got this in a Glossybox a while ago, there were two sachets in the box. I used them both while in the bath, but only used half a sachet at a time, so managed to get 4 uses out of them. I have oily skin, so a moisturising  mask wasn't ideal. However I did like to use them when my skin wasn't at its best, as it seemed to soften my skin and certainly helped with drier patches on my skin. 

I got this mini bubble-bath from n-spa at Asda a couple of months ago. It came in a pack of four and was on offer, as they were christmas scents. I used it anyway as I had run out of my Soap and Glory one. This smelt just like hot butter fudge when I poured it in, but the smell did not linger either in the water or on my skin, so that was disappointing! It made bubbles, but I think that is all it did!

Until I found my Loreal Volume Million lashes, this Maxfactor False Lash Effect Fushion was my favourite ever marcara. And I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is on the hunt for a new mascara. It has a plastic style brush which I like as it creates a fan of lashes, although I know some people don't like that. Was sad when this dried up!

I am only recently really dabbling in the world of toners, and this is a pretty good one. It is a pretty cheap and cheerful product and as £3.29 you can't go wrong! Well, maybe you can go wrong. But so far so good, I am sure there are better toners out there. I have another bottle of this I am using at the moment, and then after that I may invest in something a little more expensive!

I got this in July's Glossybox and I ended up decanting the oil into a spray bottle and found it much easier to dispense. I use it on particularly dry patches of skin and I feel the difference in the skin immediately. I like spraying this on bare legs before going out for a nice sheen. I have decided to get The Body Shop's dry oil next and see how that is. I probably will put it into a spray again.

This is an Estee Lauder sample that I got free in a set when I bought some products. It was a nice mascara, but dried up incredibly quickly! I wouldn't spend the money on this particular mascara.

Can't wait to finish off some more products! And get rid of these ones!

No7 Beautiful Skin BB Cream for Normal/Oily Skin

If I am honest I bought this when I couldn't find the Garnier BB cream for oily skin in my Boots store. I had a £5 No7 voucher (I love those vouchers!) and thought, hey why not try this one! The first time I put this on, I HATED it. It was greasy, and it looked like it had split on my skin and gone patchy. Yuck!

So I stopped using it, put it away, and thought I'd never touch it again. Then about 2 weeks ago I just wanted a light coverage to have on around the house, so I thought I'd give it another go.

I think I had underestimate this, and used it in the wrong way. After cleansing and toning I apply a very small amount of oil free moisturiser (currently using Clean and Clear Dual Action moisturiser) and while the moisturiser is still on my skin and work a small amount of the BB cream into my skin with my fingers. Now normally I would be appalled at myself for using my fingers, but somehow this works better! I then use my concealer as normal (Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection) and then either set it with a powder (Rimmel Stay Matte) or for a higher coverage work The Body Shop's Nature Minerals Foundation Powder in with a Kabuki Brush.

My skin looks glowing and radiant, and really natural, and I am in love with this product. Even my boyfriend commented on how clear my skin looked. And with this being a BB cream I have noticed I haven't had a breakout while using it! Win win.

The downside to this product is definitely the colour selection. I have the lightest shade which is 'fair' and I think it is fine now, while I have a little bit of colour, but winter Charli will struggle using this. I know I have pale skin, but its not that pale!

But all in all a lovely product!

Cheack it out here!

Dove Maximum Protection

As you may or may not have read, I teach dance. And as you can guess, that can get pretty sweaty, especially for me I am one of those naturally sweaty people (how appealing). I would never wear a grey t-shirt to dance in, that is for sure! I once tried 'Perspire-x' but it stung and hurt, so I quickly gave up. But I love Dove products, and when I saw they did a Maximum Protection Anti-Perspirant, I had to get it.

I have fallen in love with a deodorant, is that weird? I have been using it for about 3 weeks now, and can honestly say I have never been happier with my armpits! Again, that is a weird thing to say, but they are smoother, more moisturised and definitely drier. Now I'm not going to lie to you, I am not 100% dry. But I never thought I would be. This is a dramatic improvement over the Sure Sport deodorant which I used to really like! The idea is you out it on each night, and even if you have a shower the next morning you should be covered for the whole day. I have been putting it on morning and night, not necessarily because I think it doesn't work, but because I am paranoid and so used to putting it on in the morning!

I got the scent pomegranate and lemon, and I can still subtly smell it hours later, and no unpleasant smells! At  about £5.30 it is expensive, but so so so worth it!

Check it out here!
