It's been (and still is) a very busy week with family/work commitments - which has left no time for blogging and probably makes this one of the latest 'Empties/Favourites' posts of in the land? I'll just get on with it shall I...?
Liz Earle Eyebright Soothing Eye Lotion - all finished and will be re-purchasing, great for reviving tired, sore eyes - included this in my 'Rescue Products' which you can read here.
Liz Earle Botanical Shine Shampoo and Conditioner (for Normal Hair) - I've been using this duo on and off for ages. Perfect if my scalp feels a bit stressed and flaky as I know it cleanses and conditions well but is super gentle. Had a bout of eczema on my neck recently and needed to use something I knew wouldn't sting when washing my hair in the shower ... needless to say I'll be repurchasing.
Aveeno Body Wash (for Dry and Sensitive Skin) - more of an 'empty' than a 'favourite', I've used it on and off. Has no smell and just cleanses gently, it's ok but I don't feel the same way about it as I do the Aveeno Skin Relief Moisturising Lotion ...which I also included in my 'Rescue Products' so don't think I'll be repurchasing.
Vichy Aqualia Thermal Serum - sadly all gone, happily I've already gotten myself another - love this product. You can read me banging on about this lovely serum in my full review here.
L'Oreal Professional tecni.art Hot Style Constructor - (shopping my 'hair product stash' here ) - I've had this for so long that the packaging has now changed! It's a 'thermo-active spray for texture and hold' - provides heat protection (but not stickiness I might add!). Works best for me to create that tousled 'I'm not trying too hard with my hair' look (famous last words) and is ideal now I've had loads of hair chopped off! Just spray on damp or dry hair and do whatever you want really - can be used with hairdryer, straighteners and curling tongs so quite a useful multi-purpose product and one I would re-purchase (cost me £11.00 but I don't think that's too bad for a professional product?).
Revitalash Volumizing Primer - (got this ages ago in a kit from QVC). I don't always use an eyelash primer but this works really well to give more oomph and volume to my lashes. It's blue in colour, dries quickly so you can get on with your chosen mascara application and doesn't cause any clumping or flaking - good product.
Max Factor Masterpiece Max Mascara - an all-time favourite which has done it's stint. Great for volumising and defining lashes, no clumps and lasts all day. A good one to have on hand to sort out a 'bad lash day', used over the top of another mascara it sorts out any mascara clumpage - a great separator!
Oh ... and another favourite here ... which is literally being finished off by the hubby as I type this post!
Only the crumbliest, flakiest chocolate, tastes like chocolate never tasted before...all that and ice-cream - amazing!
Any of my favourites yours too?

You should - it's wonderful! xx
DeleteI love the Liz Earle shampoo and conditioner - use it all the time . If I do stray my hair gets all dry and horrid so I have to give myself a stern talking to and go back to what I know works! X
ReplyDeleteI love it too Claire. Knowing me though I will stray but will always go back to it! xx
DeleteMmmm need to try that ice cream. Also interesting that the primer is blue, they're usually white right :)
ReplyDeleteI'd recommend the ice-cream Mez! Yep a lot of primers are white but I have seen a couple of blue ones - this one is quite an electric blue - will have to review x
DeleteOh that ice cream looks so tempting! Need to stay away from tesco's!
ReplyDeleteYes - stay away from temptation Gaelle! x
DeleteLove the ice-cream the best! Haha! Shame it doesn't do anything wonderful for your skin. Love reading about your empties. My empty this month that I replaced immediately was my La Roche Posay SPF 50 cream. Love it all summer long - the only sun cream that doesn't react with my skin! x
ReplyDeletePS catching up after missing a few posts ... has been a busy few weeks here too! x
Everyone loves the ice-cream Avril! I must try the La Roche Posay SPF very nearly bought it the other day! xx
DeleteYum, the Flake ice cream looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteYou do like your Liz Earle, don't you. I used to use the skincare range a while back and really liked it, but being a typical beauty blogger I was soon tempted on to pastures new. I keep meaning to get round to trying some of the makeup and haircare as well as the new skincare bits, but being abroad it's not the easiest brand to get hold of unless I want to pay sky-high shipping fees.
Hope you've had a good weekend.
