May 2013 empties: Lush, The Body Shop, No7, Aussie, Moroccanoil

Hey loves!

I hope you're having a great day so far :-)

Here are the beauty products I used up in May...

As you can see, it's mainly skincare and haircare products this month - I go through them SO quickly!

Skincare:

Nivea Visage Extra Gentle Eye Make-up Remover

This was actually pretty effective at removing my eye make-up! I've tried so many, from Simple to Clarins, but I would definitely recommend this if you're looking for a cheap drugstore one.

Botanics All Bright Cleansing Toner

My lovely YouTuber friend Vi (The Sparkleicious) recommended this to me and I was really impressed with it! I can't say I noticed a massive difference in the brightness of my skin but it left it feeling really fresh and nourished without being too tight.

No7 Heavenly Hydration Mask

This is one of my ALL TIME favourite beauty products and I'm honestly GUTTED that I've used it all up! I used it overnight to give my skin a moisture boost and it was lovely and soft when I woke up. My skin is oily/combination and I didn't find it was too rich at all - plus it smelt amazing! Definitely pick one up if you have a £5 off voucher for Boots.

Lush Enzymion Facial Moisturiser

I went through a phase of using only Lush products on my skin because they're all organic but for some reason I stopped using this! I reacquainted myself with it recently and it's just perfect for summer. It smells like fresh oranges and gives my skin just the right amount of moisture. My only qualm with it is that it doesn't have SPF in it which is why I may not re-purchase.

The Body Shop Seaweed Deep Cleansing Facial Wash

My love for this range of skincare started when I was at uni and I have to say, I've been pretty loyal to it ever since! The tea tree range at The Body Shop is a little too drying for my skin I've found, whereas this is just right. It leaves your skin feeling really soft and clean afterwards!

Hair:

Aussie Mega Shampoo and Conditioner

I've used this Aussie Mega range on and off since I was about 13, I just can't get enough of it! The scent is just delicious.. I can't explain it but give it a whiff when you're next in Boots or Superdrug and you'll see what I mean! If your hair is a couple of days old and you want something that leaves your hair feeling like it's had a good, deep clean right down to the roots then this is for you.

Nioxin Intensive Treatment*

As you probably know, I like to use an intensive conditioner every time I wash my hair and this has been my masque du jour for the past month. It's thick and creamy and really works to penetrate hair right from the root. I would definitely recommend this, but it's a bit pricey.

Percy Reed Hair Mask*

I popped this in my travel beauty bag for May for when I was staying at a friend's house but I wasn't that impressed with it and I probably wouldn't re-purchase.

Moroccanoil Moisture Repair Conditioner

Not sure why I didn't finish the shampoo this month as well - I probably finished it yonks ago and decided to finish off the conditioner in May. The Moroccanoil range certainly lives up to the hype, it smells amazing and leaves hair feeling soft and silky! At the moment though, my hair is highlighted so I prefer to use a shampoo and conditioner specific for blondes so I might not re-purchase for a while.

Kim Kardashian perfume

I'm rubbish at describing scents but if you're a fan of Kim or the Kardashians, definitely give this a whirl the next time you're in Boots or Superdrug! I think I prefer her Gold scent more though.

What did you use up this month?

Love,
