May 2013 Empties

Hi Dolls

I hope this finds you all shiny and well

First things first i'm sorry about how late this is but life just went and got in the way. I haven't got a massive amount of empties this month mostly due to the weather as I have been coating myself in suncream and laying out in the garden.

Dead sea source - de-stress with ginger salt bomb

Now i got this item from a discount website and it smelled amazing but that was about it, no bubbles no smooth silky feeling after just a nice sent that if im honest didn't stay on my skin after. so all in all i was rather disappointed the packaging was cute and it did smell good but it didn't really do anything

Simple cleansing facial wipes

Great product but it is wasted on me, i tend to just grab some baby wipes as i still clinque 123 or my face just feels a bit gruby. now im not saying people that just used wipes are wrong its just for my own sanity i have to finish my day with clinique.

Sanex anti-perspirant

I love this brand its not exciting their is no rainbow, sparkles or unicorns but it doesn't need that. It a brand i trust and always end up back to it they all have a gentle sent so you don't spend your day smelling of deodorant, if it says 24 hours thats what it does (and thats a fat chicks 24 hours so you know i make it work). its approved by dermatologists and has 0% alcohol so no stings after you have de-fuzzed!

Original source shower gel in Lime and Mint and Walnut

Both my husband and i love these shower gels so far i haven't used one that i didn't love (not like love), the only downside was in some stores they could be rather pricey however the last few months my local 99p store has been stocking them so we have been quids in. it ticks all the boxes the smell great, they are filled with natural products (940 real limes / 7927 mint leaves), they are vegan, the packaging is recyclable and its made in good ole blighty.

JLO - Glow

This perfume has been one of  my guilty pleasures since i was a teenager i adore it, its a light summery sent which always reminds me of being young hanging out with my chums and maybe getting into a little bit of trouble.

MUA pressed powder

As you can see i have hit pan on this, i don't use powder every day so it took an age to do this. I am a massive fan of MUA and this product doesn't disappoint and the best part of all its only a pound!


Natural collection cover up

I found this when i was picking the products that i wanted to include in my project pan, at one point i loved it however now ive moved on and the shade just is not right for me. the way i got around this was using it as a highlighter under my eyebrows that way i didn't waste any of the product and i didn't break my own band on buying any new products.

i would love to know if you guys have loved / hated any of the products i have mentioned today.

Take care

Love Katy

May 2013 Favourites

Hi Dolls 

Its favourites time

please remember if this all looks like too much reading you can check out my video here:

Argan Oil Shampoo

Nothing beats soft, manageable, shinny hair well apart from soft, manageable, shinny hair that only cost 99P! 

Thats right 99p I got this from my local 99p store and I love it. We all know that argan oil is good for our hair but up until recently its been a rather expensive item to get ones grumby little mits on. so when i stumbled acoss this in my local 99p store i almost weed with glee! It is packed with the good stuff and it really does work even with my ombre hair it makes the ends feel alive. Also when I was out worshipping the sun a couple of weekends ago I bunt my parting / scalp (so not happy) and this really helped sooth the redness.  A girlfriend of mind has also been using this as a shaving gel on her legs and swears its the smoothest they have ever felt I haven't tried that out yet but for 99p a tub I might just give it a go. 

Grass shower gel from Lush

The moment I first smelt this I fell in love with it, two smells really make me think of spring / summer; the first is that delious salty smell your skin gets from swimming in the sea and the second is fresh cut grass. And this my friends is like taking a rolly poly down a bank without getting any grass stains. It makes your whole bathroom smell amazing. At this point the grown up in me has to point out that you need to make sure you rinse out your shower / bath after use as it will turn your bathroom suite the same dark bottle green colour. Another downside it is most deffantly unisex so the hubby keeps using it as well. 

Holiday Skin from Johnsons

I feel that this product has unfairly got a bad rap in the past, but I think as long as you understand that its for more of a gentle glow rather than an essex bronze you will be happy. It produces a rather natural look, I use it on my legs as they never seem to tan at the same pace as my face, boobies and arms and it does the trick without and scarry streaks.  As for the smell well its not bad, its not great but its doesn't linger so I don't mine it.

Mist you Madly from Soap & Glory

As many of you will be aware I am rather fussy with how things smell, I normally stick to maybe five scents across all seasons and I am happy with that. However when my girlfriend was giving herself a little sprits when we were out and about I was a little intrigued with the wonderfuly light secnt. so I popped over to boots and picked this bad boy up when it was on a 3 for 2 offer and I have been enjoying it ever since. the scent itsnt over powering but it does linger / stay for a good lengh of time.

Gelly Hi shin Nail Paint by Barry M

I am obsessed with mint green at the moment and this ticks all my boxes. This polish 
gives you an amzing glossy high finish like you get with a of gel manicures without 
the massive bill at the end.  Now I have read reviews that say some of the colours 
are not the one coater as advertised but this shade green berry most defantly is. As 
with all Barry M polishs the colour payoff is great and it goes a good length of time 
before chipping.

Crazy in love power pout by MUA

I am a big MUA fan and when I saw thay were jumping on the cubby stick / lip carryon

 trend I knew I was going to have to buy them. Packaging wise its the same as all the rest 

however as you can see from the photo the text is already coming off; but for the price I 

think it's understandable. The product itsself is really creamy and mosterising and the 

colour does seem to last most of the day (or until you eat). The colours I have tried have 

been beautiful, although I would recommend buying these in store rather than online as 

the website does not show the true colours so you could be disapointed. 

Flower hair slides from Peacocks

I picked up these super cute hair clips from peacocks and I think they are adorable, I 

have been wearing them a lot with a Lauren Conrad fringe braid. Both the peach and 

the ivory go with many outfits but the mint green ones are my all time favourite. I 

was a little worried they wouldn't last very long as they were only £2.50 but so far 

I have swam in the sea with them, fell asleep with them on and whipped my hair 

back and forth at a gig and they have stayed perfect.

Have you tried these products? If so I would love to hear what you think of them in 

the comments below.

Take care

I'm Back

Hi Dolls

I have been gone forever, all I can say is sorry and that I am back!

I have been really focusing on my YouTube channel, however I now feel that I will have time to give both projects some more attention. I know I have lost a lot of followers due to my break and I understand why but I am truly thankful for those of you who stuck around for me it means so much.
So I intend to start posting on here at least once a week however I will  try my up most to be more frequently than that.

Bye for now

Love
