July Empties | Part 1

July Beauty Empties
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?

  2. This is the second time this month that I've seen the Vaseline spray moisturiser.
    Still don't fancy trying it!
    I just think of all the spray that misses and ends up on the , now slippery, floor!
    I'm bad enough with spray tan!!

  3. Liz Earle C&P has such iconic status but somehow I can never get to use it. I just prefer cleansing oils and washes, hehe ;)

    1. I think it's very much a love it or hate it product. I don't mind it but as you say there's nothing about it that wow's me x

  4. Ooh that mousse sounds really interesting! My hair can so easily get weighed down with products so I'll definitely be looking into this. x

  5. I've been looking at Vaseline Spray & Go for a while & wondering how good it would be. I have really dry skin so I don't think it'll work for me. Thanks for your review, it saved my pennies! I always have Impulse in my bag, so handy for a quick spray, I buy it when it's 99p in Wilkos x

    1. I would def say if you're on the drier side it's not the best... definitely try a body butter rather than a lotion! x

  6. I didn't get on with the Vaseline Spray and Go at all, found it did nothing for my skin at all. Need more heavy duty stuff at my age, maybe! Interested in the VO5 mousse, will give that a try as I've had a couple of awful products that promise volume and fail to deliver recently. x

    1. I just felt like the Vaseline Spray was pretty much like spraying a slightly thicker water! No good for me at all. Let me know if you try the mousse x
