Product Empties #1!


Hey lovelies! I love reading product empties posts, so I decided I would start a series myself.  As I buy so many products, it takes a long time to get through them all. I will like a product for a little while, buy something new and that product I loved will get forgotten about in place of the new one. This means it definitely takes me a long time to get through products so I feel like to finish a product must mean it really works and that I really like it!

Hair

Charles Worthington Moisture Seal Conditioner - This smells AMAZING! and works really well at adding moisture to any dry ends.

Herbal Essences Seductively Straight Shampoo - I have naturally curly hair, so to wear it straight, and it to stay straight, it needs some help. This shampoo is fab at that. When I use this shampoo, it loosens my curls and keeps my hair straight all day.

Scandalous Gorgeously Rich Moisturising Conditioner - I actually love the shampoo too, but I hadn't kept the bottle, doh! This conditioner has tiny flecks of shimmer in which leaves your hair looking soo shiny (Que embarrassing drunken photo of shiny hair!)

Phil Smith Brunette Super Shine Shampoo & Conditioner - I love this for my dark hair. It really brings the colour to life and makes it really glossy.

Scents

Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh - This has to be one of my favourite scents of all time! Super girly and fresh and the bottle is so cute! Sad for this to be an empty but I will definitely be repurchasing it.

Paris Hilton Sheer - Another of my favourite scents! Its really sweet and summery, and is pretty cheap too! 

Nivea Invisible Deodorant - A random empty, I know, but this stuff is fab. It is my go to deodorant. It smells lovely and doesn't leave those annoying white marks on clothes!

Face & Body

Simple Eye Makeup Remover - My favourite eye makeup remover of the moment. So much so, that I have already repurchased this. It is great for removing even waterproof eye products, and is really sensitive on the eyes so doesn't cause irritation or sting. 

Murad Acne Cleanser - I got this sample in a Glossybox a while ago, and like many other samples get put to the back of the cabinet in favor of products I already love. Buut, I got round to trying this out and LOVE it. In the short time that the sample lasted you could really see a difference in my skin. This is now on my wish list!

Garnier Aftersun - This has been a life saver for me this month, and I have literally used the whole bottle. We have had a few hot days here in the UK and my skin got a little fried. I lagged myself in this stuff and it helped it turn into a lovely tan and stopped any horrible hot stinging sun burn!

So that's my empties! I have loved doing this post as it kind of doubles up as a favourites that I get to share with you all! If you have done an empties post, I would love to see, so please link below!

Dressing Table (Vanity) Set Up

I love reading blog posts about other peoples makeup set ups and storage, so I thought I would share my dressing table set up with you! 

Here's an overview of my set up

The dressing table itself is from Dunelm Mill ( I think this particular one has been discontinued but there is a few similar) and is made from white frosted glass. This makes it really easy to clean and allows me to not worry about getting makeup all over the top. Underneath, I keep a few of my larger palettes in a magazine rack, aswell as a carry case with I use to travel with my makeup, and a glass vanity case which I store my nail polish in. The stool is just a cheapy from Argos and was around £3, although I am looking at getting an acrylic chair which I feel would suit the table better.


On the right hand side of the dressing table I keep;
My face brushes, most of which go in the glass mosaic pot which is actually a candle holder. I then have my Real Techniques brushes and Bourjois and Smashbox Baby Buki kabuki brushes to the side. 
I then keep my Mac Fix+ and some Dr Bronner's Hand Sanitizer in Lavender. 
I also keep a couple of my most reached for perfumes; Marc Jacobs 'Daisy Eau So Fresh', Britney Spears 'Fantasy' and a sample I received from a Glossybox which I love.
There is also a heart ornament in the same glass mosaic style as the brush holder for decorative purposes!



On the left hand side I keep;
My eye and lip brushes, kept in the same mosaic holder as my face brushes.
I then have my Clinique Makeup Brush Cleanser, which I love and is great for spot cleaning brushes.
My eyeliners are kept next to this in a tall glass filled with heart shaped glass beads to keep them stood up. Next to this is my Soap and Glory Hand Food which I use a lot so it is handy to have there to grab. 
I then keep a small bag of sample perfumes I am yet to try and a Versace 'Vanitas' sample perfume I received from Glossybox. 
The rest of the things on this side are ornaments that I think look cute sitting on my dressing table. First is a Love sign, which I actually painted myself. It used to be red but I felt this didn't go with the colour scheme of my room, so I gave it a white wash and then printed on some newspaper detailing which I love.
I then have a empty perfume bottle, and two heart ornaments, one the same as the other side in a glass mosaic style, but in an ombre pink colour, and the other in a light pink shell like material. 




I then have three pink candles which were given to me as a gift across the middle of the table as I am yet to find a mirror which I think goes well with it. The candles are really cute and in the shape of flowers. In between these I have put heart shaped glass beads (the same as the beads that fill the eyeliner glass) as I am a sucker for detail!

In the drawers I keep some of my makeup, sorted into empty Glossybox's. For the rest of my makeup I am looking for a set of drawers which will go nicely next to my dressing table, but I am yet to find one I like!

Sorry for the long post, but I hope you enjoyed looking at my makeup/dressing table set up! How do you store your makeup?
