Hello! Today I thought I'd do a product empties. I have been collection over the past 4 or 5 months empty products or nearly finished things to show you guys and give a mini review. There is quite a lot of skin care and some makeup! As I said I have been collecting this for a while so it isn't all recent! 

So firstly is the French Connection Bath Foam. I loved this bath foam, I also used it in the shower as a gel. It is one of those gels that the scent stays on your skin for the following day, for me that's a winner. It is a fairly strong scented product but I like that. 

Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish! Oh my I love this! It removes all your makeup including waterproof mascara and leaves the skin feeling super moisturised and clean. It can also be used as a gentle exfoliated if you use the muslin cloth. I've already repurchased as this was a sample. 

Another skin care product is the Freederm gel. Its a gel to apply to acne spots and really helps to reduce redness and calm the angry spots. However I would only use this if you had mild acne, anything worse, it isn't going to perform as well. 

The L'Occitane Ultra Rich Face Cream is a very thick moisturiser I finished a while back. A little goes a long way with this. It is very thick and really hydrates the skin. However I would only use this as night as it leaves a slight oily residue to the skin, it's more of a treatment. 

An exfoliator I've finished is the St. I've Apricot Scrub. When it says apricot, it smells like it! It's divine! This product is a cult product for me, it really removes all the dead skin cells on my face and I've found the blackheads have reduced around my nose. This is not a drastic change, it has been from using it most nights for over 6 months. Another product that a little goes a long way, it seems bottomless! The Clarins Gentle One Step Exfoliator Cleanser is a less harsh alternative. 

Before the Liz Earle cleanser I used The Body Shop Camomile Waterproof Eye and Lip Makeup Remover. What a name! Anyway, I never got on with the oil cleanser, it always broke me out, but this is a great alternative. It removes literally anything in no time at all. I really recommend. 

Another Body Shop product is the Tea Tree Skin Clearing Foaming Cleanser. I enjoyed this product, it cleansed my skin and left it super smooth. It doesn't remove makeup and if you get it in your eye it can be quite stingy, but a great morning product. 

The last Body Shop product is the Seaweed Ionic Clay Mask. This mask is great for really getting the gunk out of your face! It's one of those masks that the next day usually you get a few spots. I don't know if that is good or bad but I feel like its getting rid of all the grime and dirt. It leaves my skin feeling super clean and fresh! I will be buying another of these. 

The Freederm Sensitive Facial Wash is another great face wash, good for mild acne, again it wouldn't do much for anything worse. Nothing else to say really.  

Makeup wise. 

The Max Factor Face Finity All Day Primer was a win for me. It locked my makeup all day whilst having an SPF of 20 which is great. It's so light weight and I love the packaging, it look so expensive for a drugstore product! The only issue I had with this was the scent, it was strange, but it wouldn't stop me buying another of these. 

Soap and Glory Brow Archery Pencil in Hot Chocolate. I've already finished this one, bought another and nearly finished that one! This product is such a good brow pencil. The nib is very small and is great for drawing on hairs, I just love it! 

I don't know why but I go through brow pencils so quickly. I think it's because most days I at least do my brows, if nothing else! Another brow product is Mac Lingering, this is more warm toned and a waxy formula, still love it. 

Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer in Ivory. What can I say?! This product is the best under eye concealer! It brightens and conceals those dark circles so well! I've already got another of these, I can't be without it! 

The next three are all sample size. 

Benefit Roller Lash. I love this too, it really holds the curl all day, and gives immense volume. The back up is in my drawer! 

Benefit Porefessional. This is a hit and miss product, I just find it clogs my pores and doesn't really smooth anything out. There are many more drugstore alternatives. 

The final makeup product is the Rimmel BB Cream in Light. I love this BB cream, it gives a good coverage whilst feeling like nothing is on the skin. Perfect for school.

Thats it! Next week may be a cheeky haul!
