Monthly Empties: June

Another month gone, another empties post!

Product - Garnier Bodytonic

Price - €7.45 but I got it in Tesco for €3.70

What did I think? - I love this moisturiser. It totally transformed my skin. I used to have really dry itchy skin. I used to be covered in cuts from scratching all the time. However, since I have been using this my skin has totally transformed and I'm no longer covered in cuts and scratches.

Would I buy again? - Yes I already have!

Product - La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water

Price - This was the smaller version so it was €4.95

What did I think? - I really like this spray. It is so refreshing during hotter weather. It can cool you down, refresh make up, act as an after sun, and a makeup setter. It has so many uses it's amazing!

Would I buy again? - Yes this was my second bottle and I would definitely buy another.

Product - Essence Nail Varnish Remover

Price - €1.49 (Although my new bottle was only 99c)

What did I think? - Unlike many nail polish removers, this product actually smelled really nice. It has a strawberry scent that really takes away from the usual really strong nail varnish remover smell. It removed my nail polish well. It also doesn't contain any acetone.

Would I buy again? - I would buy it again. Unfortunately the chemist where I usually buy it did not have the strawberry version so I had to buy the coconut version which isn't as nice.

Until next month!

Holiday Beauty Favourites

I'm finally back blogging after a busy couple of weeks. I was away in Spain and since I got back I have been working supervising exams. I have time to write a quick post today so I decided to share my holiday favourites. 

La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water - I picked up a mini bottle of this product as I knew I HAD to have it on holiday. This product is fantastic as it has so many uses. In Ireland I usually just use it to set make up or to freshen my make up during the day. In hot weather I use it a lot to cool down. It is so refreshing and feels amazing against your skin. I also used it on sunburn as it straight away cools and sooths the pain. 

Very hard to photo as the outside is like a mirror, mine broke but I reset it.

H&M Bronzer - My skin is usually milk bottle white. I like to be pale so I don't use any bronzer. However, I knew the sun would darken my skin so I packed H&M's Bronzer into my suitcase. Since my skin tanned in the sun my usual foundation was actually too pale for me. (This is a first!) I used the H&M bronzer to lightly darken the foundation to suit my new skin colour. I also used it to cover annoying white strap marks. I worked in H&M for years and this Bronzer was there no.1 selling beauty item. They used to sell out within a few days. I even saw people buying six or seven of them at a time. They are great value for money €5.95 for a HUGE bronzer. Be careful not to drop as they smash very easily. 

Rescue Oil Lotion - Another great product to pack in your suitcase is Rescue Oil Lotion. This lotion has so many uses including: 

• Ageing Skin 
• Scar Tissue 
• Blemished Skin
• Treatment and prevention of stretch marks
• before, during and after pregnancy massage lotion
• After Sun Treatment
• Dry, dehydrated skin conditions 

I used it as a moisturiser and also as an after sun to sooth burned skin. It is non greasy and is easily absorbed to the skin. It worked really well and is only €1.49 in Dealz. I love that it is small enough to fit into my airport plastic bag for carry on suitcases. 

So that's my holiday favourites! I only wish I was still there....!

March Favourites!

I can't believe it is April already! This year is actually flying by. So a new month means a new monthly favourites. Here is what I was loving in March.

La Roche-Posay Thermal Spring Water - After seeing this product over on Viva Adonis I knew I had to have it. I had been searching for a setting spray for ages but did not want to fork out €27 for an Urban Decay spray. This spray is great value it is only €9 for a 150ml bottle. I use this spray to set my make up and to hydrate my dry skin. It also can be used as a cooling spray so it was great during the hot weather we had during the week. It really cooled down my face and refreshed my make up. I have had it for a few months now and still have a lot left. 

Rescue Oil - I have been using this everyday since I bought it. Amazing value at €1.49. It has really improved my dry skin. For a full review click here!

Boots from Dunnes Stores - This is a random item for a monthly favourites, I usually just stick to beauty products but I am in love with these boots. They are so comfy and I just adore them! €30 Dunnes Stores.

I have used it so much I broke the cover .... :(

MUA Professional Heaven and Earth Palette - Once again this palette has made it into my monthly favourites! I adore this palette! I use it everyday to fill in my eyebrows and usually on my eyes also. (I work as a teacher so I have to keep my eyes quite neutral. This palette is a perfect work palette.)

Revlon ColourStay in 110 Ivory - I bought this foundation once again the other day. I must be on my 6th bottle by now. It is the perfect shade for my snow white skin and I adore it. I buy it in Georges Street arcade for €10. Just to let you know if anyone else buys it from there that the shop is moving over to the Ilac Centre. It will open a store beside Argos. I'm so happy I heard about this I would have been devastated to find it closed! 

So that's what I was loving during March!
