July Empties | Part 1

July Beauty Empties

My bedroom is once again having a makeover and furniture is being sold and new items ordered so I am once again I'm trying to use up what I own rather than add more to the piles whilst I struggle for storage. This of course means once again we have a bumper number of Empties posts for July so let's dive in to Part 1.

Vaseline Spray & Go Body Moisturiser 
Like many body lotions are something I'm rather lazy with so I jumped on the Vaseline Spray & Go bandwagon hoping for quick alternative on rushed mornings. A nice product although I found that I would literally spray and go rather than rubbing into the skin like I would with a traditional body lotion.   I found I'd have to be quite liberal with the spray to have sufficient coverage and moisturising of the skin. It was ok but not something I'll repurchase. That scent the famous Cocoa scent is amazing as always.

VO5 Plump it up weightless mousse 
A favourite product of mine I use daily after VO5's amplifying blow dry lotion. It amuses me no end that mousse is a daily product of mine being a child of the 80's who remembers sticky mousses that would turn your hair to a rigid mess. This is the complete opposite, non sticky and really weightless even in my hair that can turn to a greasy mess with the slightest incorrectly formulated product. I have already repurchased.

Bumble and Bumble Thickening Dryspun Finish 
Having come to the end of my beloved Dryspun Finish and yet to repurchase I am missing it greatly and on the way to giving it holy grail status. I had a can of the Charles Worthington Texturising Spray which I wanted to try before repurchasing and as you will see in my 'Products that didn't work for me' post I was not a fan. I love the volume this gives my hair and such an instant boost especially after the end of a long day when you're popping out for drinks with friends. One such friend actually used this prior to us heading out and asked 'what is this amazing stuff'. Cue me heading over to Boots to repurchase immediately.

Liz Earle Limited Edition Cleanse & Polish in Grapefruit & Patchouli 
Whilst a fan of the famous Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish I'm just a bit blah about it's original scent and as a lover of anything grapefruit-y I was really pleased when this limited edition scent was released last year. It was definitely a favourite part of my morning skincare regime (which you can read more about here) and I'm very disappointed it's come to an end.

Impulse Be Surprised Body Fragrance* 
I have a can of Impulse in my draw at work and another in my bedside cabinet at home. At work it's the perfect addition on days I've forgotten to put perfume on and at night when I want to wear a scent but not waste my perfumes. Yes it can have a slightly artificial scent on it's first spritz but the scent settles quite nicely. No it's not going to stick around for long but in emergencies it's a cheap alternative.

What did you use up this month?
