I'm feeling rather pleased with my little stash of empties for August, i seem to be on a bit of a roll with using up products lately and making space for new goodies can only be a good thing.
I've used up a grand total of 8 products this last month which is quite a record for me.
Batiste original Dry shampoo: I got this in my glossy box and although a lot of people complained i was quite happy as I'd not tried this before. I really like it and think it's probably the best dry shampoo I've used. I'm keen to try out the XXL version next as I've heard lots of good things about it.
Mark Hill Holiday Hair Aftersun Conditioner: I have had this for ages but have only just got round to using it after having 2 holidays recently I've wanted something to keep my hair soft. I love the smell of this its quite coco nutty and it feels nice and soothing but i don't think it is moisturising enough on the ends on my hair. Would i re buy? Probably not.
Mark Hill Party Animal Dry Shampoo: I really love the packaging and it does a nice job of freshening up my hair. It feels lovely and cooling as well. It does the job pretty well but i think the batiste has the edge over this one.
Elle Macpherson Glow Airbrush Tan: This product is the only one i was really sad to see the end of. Unfortunately this has been discontinued and it was one of my favourite tans ever. The can makes it super quick to apply and it sprays really evenly without the need to rub in.
I am now on the lookout for a good aerosol spray tan so any recommendations let me know:)
L'Occitane Rice Purifying Toner: This was featured in my July favourites and its brilliant. I love the fact it contains salicylic acid and the smell is beautiful and creamy almost. A certain re buy once Ive used up the others in my stash.
Victorias Secret Berry Kiss: I brought this back from my trip to Las Vegas last year and have tried to make it last. It's a lovely fresh fruity spray that i like as a little pick me up during the day. I would repurchase if i could get it easily.
Just Me Paris Hilton: I picked this up in the sale and to be honest i found it hard to use up. I loved it when i first got it but after a few times of wearing it i just decided i didn't like it as much :(
I did however manage to use it up as it was a perfect size to pop in my bag and i don't like waste.
Estee Lauder Concealer: Last but not least is this concealer which is really old ( I'm ashamed to say its that old the writing has worn off and its no longer for sale on the website )
What i do know though is that i loved the formula too much to throw it out and it has lasted me forever.
I'm finding it so hard to use up any cosmetics. Haircare/skincare and body I'm doing well at but i just can't seem to use up any colour items. Have you got through a lot of products this last month and have you tried any of the above products?

July Favourites & Empties!
Morning lovely ladies. I'm quite pleased with my empties for July. I seem to be on a bit of a roll with this using something before starting another milarki.
Anyway here are my used up products:
Burts Bees Baby Wash & Shampoo: Love this product its so gentle and mild and useful for the whole family.
Liz Earle Energising body lotion: Its rare i use up a body lotion but this one is amazing. I have been slapping it on hips, bum and the tops of my arms and tummy area so there is no wonder its all gone. A definite re buy.
No7 Eye Make Up Remover: A great product, removes waterproof mascara easily. I will re buy this at some point but have quite a few others i want to try first. Just started on the botanics one for now.
Skin Science Bio Active Eye Contour: This tiny tube of amazingness is a product i am sad to have used up. Its Amazing. The prize tag on the other hand is just too steep for me £75. Still if you feel like a splurge then this is the one to go for. If you want to read more then check out my older post
Impulse body spray: I don't use body sprays very often I'm more of a perfume girl but i have enjoyed the freshness of this and it sort of reminds me of my youth for some reason.
Molton Brown Mini Coco De Mer Bath & Shower Gel: This was sent to me by the lovely Skin Scrubs and its the first Molten Brown product Ive used. It smells amazing and leaves skin super soft. Coconut fruit and honey made this the perfect holiday choice.
This does a great job of toning my skin and leaves it feeling really clean and silky to the touch. The smell of this is beautifully soothing and it contains salicylic acid which seems to help prevent my usual breakouts. This mini bottle is being used up at lightning speed.
I have only recently started using this wonder product but i apply it at night and when i wake up my skin looks really glowy and smooth. I'm looking forward to seeing results after another month or so but loving it so far.
There is nothing i dislike about this gloss, the colour looks great over any lippy, it smells quite strongly like bubblegum so not great if you don't like the smell. ( I happen to love it )
It has great staying power compared to most glosses too.
I have been making the most of my tan and using this product to give it a boost. I adore this tinted moisturiser and will be doing a proper review soon. It's packed full of natural ingredients and it just gives an amazing glow to the skin. I get compliments on my skin when i wear this a lot :)
I am nearing the end of these two products now and my lashes have never been as long before. I would undoubtedly recommend these as they have transformed my lashes from being the shortest stubby lashes to decent ones which to me has made a world of difference. I have reviewed here but another one coming soon with final results.
A great mascara for really black lashes. It can be a bit clumpy if I'm not careful but brilliant for big lashes and added drama. I've been wearing this nearly everyday and the more i use it the more i like it. Full review coming soon.
I'd forgotten how brilliant this powder is. I love this powder because it is so invisible on the skin but just gives a beautiful polished finish. So lightweight and keeps skin shine free and keeps it looking ultra natural. Well worth the price tag. This has lasted me forever but I'm afraid i am nearing the end of the pot.
Thanks for reading if you got this far lol. As always feel free to leave a comment or a link to your favourites too xx
