Recent Beauty Purchases.

I haven't spent much on beauty products lately.. All of this was purchased over a couple of months and apart from this, I haven't bought anything else. I've been trying not to buy things just because everyone else is talking about them, as hard as that can be sometimes!!

L'Oreal Skin Perfection.. 3 in 1 Purifying Micellar Solution and Cleansing & Perfecting Milk.

I bought these when the products I was using (Asdas own brand) had almost run out.. Unfortunately I can't understand the hype! Yes, they're gentle.. But so gentle it doesn't take all the make up off is no good. I've used so many cotton wool pads trying to take every last bit of my make up off with these products but if I use my old one at the end, make up comes off! I don't know if it's cause I have large pores but I just can't get on with these products and won't be repurchasing.

Soap & Glory.. Foam Call, Sugar Crush and Clean Girls.

If you read my last post, you'd know I bought more Soap & Glory smellies. They were on 3 for 2 in Boots. Sugar Crush was a repurchase but I'd never tried the other 2. Foam Call is pepperminty fresh and I absolutely love it.. It kind of reminds me of a mans smell but in a good way. Clean Girls has a pearly looking effect and is really soft and smells girly and nice. I will definitely repurchase both!

Johnsons Baby Shampoo.

Warning! Warning! I may need to be issued with a slap on the wrist.. Prior to this stuff, I'd never washed my make up brushes.. Sorry!!! It may be worth noting I've only really got into make up the last couple of years and haven't used the same brushes the whole time. Still.. I will be keeping on top of them now, pinky promise.

Barry M.. Pomegranate, Guava, Blueberry and Fuchsia.

Anyone that knows me well, knows I love my nail polish. I can't get enough! Pomegranate and Blueberry have quickly become my favourites and I've flicked between the 2 since purchasing them. I don't see a lot of difference in the Gelly range compared to the other range personally but some of the colours are gorgeous.

Natural Collection.. Lash Definition Mascara in black, Moisture Shine lipstick in Pink Mallow and Raspberry.

I picked these up on a 3 for 2 as well. I'd originally gone into Boots for the Raspberry lipstick (not pictured - I couldn't find it at the time, sorry.. I'm sure you know what colour raspberries are though so that!) but as there was an offer on, I picked up another lippy and a mascara too. The lipsticks are very long lasting compared to any others I have and the colours are gorgeous - I must get more of these. The mascara isn't too bad - it suprised me, it's more of an every day mascara.. It separates lashes and lengthens them a little but doesn't really give much volume, hence saying it's more for every day.

Montagne Jeunesse.. Sauna Masque, Apricot Scrub, Tea Tree Face Spa, Super Fruit Mud, Dragon Fruit Sauna and Iced Crystal.

Who doesn't love Montagne Jeunesse face masks?! I love finding new ones to try out. So far out of these ones I've used Apricot Scrub which was ok, didn't seem to do as much as others I've tried and Super Fruit Mud which I loved and will definitely repurchase. I love that I could feel it working when I put it on and my skin felt so soft and my pores looked lovely and clean afterwards. Having big pores is such a pain in the arse but masks like this are such a saviour. I can't wait to try the others!

Empties #1

Hi, I'm Tiffany and I hate using the last bit of products!
I'm actually terrible for it. If I use it, it's gone. Well, duh.. But I had so many products sitting about cause I started getting near the end and I'm like.. I don't wanna use it so I buy something else to use. Does anyone know what I'm on about or am I just a bit of a loon?! Either way, I've been trying to be good and started using things up to get rid of them! I'm going to try and be a bit better from now on, promise! I've split the bathroom products from my make up type products, so that will come in the next empties post.

Charles Worthington - Strength & Repair Shampoo.
I done a review of this here. I'm on my 3rd bottle and have 2 more to use afterwards so as you can probably imagine, I really like this stuff! It makes my hair feel more like human hair than horse hair and it smells amazing. Would I repurchase? Already have so yes!

Charles Worthington Takeaways - Frizz Free Shampoo.
Aww RIP old CW range! This used to be one of my favourites and I just used the last of this *sob* Also made my hair feel nice and smelt good, although the new range does smell even better, if that's possible. Would I repurchase? If I could, yes.

Superdrug - Coconut & Sweet Almond Shampoo.
This stuff smells amazing.. Mmmmm coconut! It's also quite cheap.. That's where the good points end though unfortunately. It's meant to be for dry and damaged hair but it stripped my hair and made it feel so dry. I could tell as I washed it out and my hands wouldn't glide through my hair, that I'd need to plonk a shit load of moisturey type conditioner stuff on to make up for it. Would I repurchase? Never.

Soap & Glory - Scrub Your Nose In It.
I rather enjoyed scrubbing my nose in this product. I always used it at the end of a hot shower and I've definitely noticed a difference in my skin since I used it up, not in a good way. I didn't love the smell but it is a nice product that works well. Would I repurchase? Maybe. It's gone up in price and I'm thinking I could probably get something just as effective for cheaper. Any suggestions?

Soap & Glory - Clean On Me Shower Gel.
I didn't hate this product.. But I didn't love it either. I found it kind of boring for a Soap & Glory product. I used it cause I had it, not cause I loved it and wanted to, if you know what I mean? The smell was nice but nothing to shout about, unlike the new ones I bought (post coming up). Would I repurchase? Not this particular one, no.

Soap & Glory - Sugar Crush Body Wash.
This is my cup of tea for sure. I love sweet smells so it was always going to be a winner for me! I do think it's more of a summery scent but I purchased another one so it will get used in between others over Autumn/Winter, just not as much. I do really like it though. Mmmmm :) Would I repurchase? I have, so yes.

Tigi Catwalk - Oatmeal & Honey Shampoo.
Oh, Tigi.. WHY did you have to discontinue my favourite shampoo? When I heard this was discontinued I was absolutely gutted. I loved this stuff; It smelled amazing! I found it in B&M Bargains a few months back and had to have it.. When it started running out, I went back for more and it was gone again :'( I might try some different Tigi shampoos once I've used up my CW ones though. Would I repurchase? If I could, definitely yes.

Seascape Island Apothecary Uplift Body Wash Review

You know when you stay in a nice hotel and get home only to realise the complimentary shampoo, body wash etc. have accidentally-on-purpose come back with you... and you know how it smells so good you save it because you couldn't possibly use it for every day.. Well that's exactly what this Seascape body wash reminds me of!

Everything about it says luxurious to me. It's the kind of body wash that not only comes in gorgeous packaging and looks lovely sitting on your shelf, it's a dream to use too. It has such a refreshing scent (eucalyptus, lime and lavender) which has been a blessing each morning during this hot, sticky weather. Personally, although I love sweet scents, they don't make you feel half as clean and fresh during hot weather as fresh fruity/flowery scents like this do.

You don't need much product to get a good lather going so it might seem a little on the pricey side at £16 for 300ml but it will last you a long time compared to cheaper products so it does even it out a little. It really woke me up and made me feel ready for the day ahead, unlike sweet scents that make me feel like putting my jammies on and hopping back into bed!! The scent is strong enough that you can smell it but not overpowering or offensive by any means and it leaves the skin feeling squeaky clean without drying it out.

"Contains 100% natural essential oils of Jersey Eucalyptus to stimulate the circulation, Lime to energise the body and Lavender to refresh the senses"

I was particularly impressed to discover that it's made in the UK from locally sourced ingredients and doesn't contain any of those "nasties" that many others on the market do. Big thumbs up!

"Our products are paraben, silicone, petroleum and SLS free and are suitable for vegetarians. We do not use artificial colours or synthetic fragrances. We are against animal testing. All of our ingredients are sourced from ethical suppliers and our bottles and packaging are recyclable."

My only gripe, if I really had to give one is that I'd have liked the bottle to have been glass just to give that extra lux feel.. But then I'd have moaned I couldn't get the product out and you can't have it both ways! ;)
Would I go and purchase this myself? Although I've enjoyed using it, probably not this one in particular as I very rarely use the same one twice but I would definitely try other Seascape products, particularly the Peppermint Oil Lip Balm or the Sooth Body Wash and I think anything from Seascape would make beautiful gifts for your loved ones.
