Empties: The first edition

So I have decide to take the plunge into the strange world of writing all about empty bottles! To begin with I never really understood this craze, but now I secretly love it. I have been quite good at remembering to 'keep my rubbish', which to begin with was harder than I thought.  Its actually quite therapeutic as I can now see that although I buy a lot of products, I also get through more than I think I do.  So here goes.....

I seem to have got through a lot of bath products so far this year. The cold weather has obviously made me gravitate towards a bath instead of a shower.  In my Christmas stocking this year I got given the Soap and Glory 'The Daily Soothe' £8, which is basically a bit like a bubble bath. The idea is that you put a handful under the running tap and watch the bubbles appear. Although I liked it, I wasn't blown away by it, so probably wouldn't repurchase. A bath product I love (and that is crazy cheap) is my Morrisons 'Relax' bubble bath (I think this is around £1). Its a standard bubble bath but the lavender and chamomile really helps me to relax and just so happen to my 2 of my most loved scents.  My final 'bath' product is my Boots 'Epsom salts' £1.49. This was recommended to me to help my body relax and de-stress. As you may know I have suffered with bad skin in the past and sometimes it can be down to my body being stressed out. I find using these really helps my body calm down and provides me with some of the minerals my body needs to be calmer. This was my 4th pot of these and I already have another in my bath room....they are a total lifesaver!!
Going back to 'Soap and Glory' I recently finished my 'Sugar Crush fresh and foamy body wash' £6.50. This is my second bottle of this and I simply love the scent. It always leaves me smelling really good and makes me feel incredibly clean. I would most defiantly buy this again. I have tried a few of their scents and am currently using the 'Rich and foamous' body wash.  Another shower gel I used up was the Palmolive Aroma therapy shower gel £2.09. For some reason I hated this shower gel, it took all my effort to use the whole bottle. I found it quite drying and just a bit 'blah' really. I will not be buying this again.  In January I was on the hunt for a new body scrub when I spotted this Champneys 'Exotic retreat body glow'  £10 (It was on offer for £5) in Boots. I had never tried anything from this brand before and had heard mixed reviews. However I was pleasantly surprised. This isn't a harsh body scrub and so doesn't feel rough on my skin. It is incredibly moisturising and leaves my skin feeling super soft and lovely. Considering it is a drugstore product, it feels very luxurious. If this was on offer I would buy it again but for some reason I feel £10 may be a little too much to spend on a body scrub!??
Now onto non- bath related products. 'Clean and Clear deep cleansing lotion' £2.99', is one of those products I really enjoy, but am not sure why. I think its that moment where I have cleansed my face with a wash and just want to check everything is off. Looking at that clean cotton pad (or slightly dirty one, depending how badly I cleansed) is incredibly satisfying. I find this helps to keep my spots at bay and have already got through 3 bottles! I love it! For my evening eye cream I have been using 'Estee Lauder Advanced Night repair eye'  £38. I have been using this for years and its fair to say I will continue to do so. Its a brilliant, moisturing eye cream that I have become slightly dependant on. It stops my eyes looking puffy and tired and is an all round wonder product.
As you all know I love PRIORI and Vitage products so it will come as no surprise that there is one of their empty bottles in this post. Usually I use my PRIORI cleanser but for some reason I changed it up and used the 'Vitage Reveitalising daily cleanse' £24. I really enjoyed using this product. It cleansed my skin incredibly well and left it feeling super soft. I really felt like my skin was getting a deep clean from this, which for me is a sign of a really good cleanser. I simply can't choose between that and my PRIORI one, so I may well have to keep swapping.
Last but not least I used up my favourite deodorant 'Dove invisible dry roll on' £2.30. The reason I always use this is because it doesn't leave white marks on my clothes and it keeps me smelling fresh all day!! Its a lifesaver!
