January Empties

I had a few more 'empties' this month but threw them away without thinking! This is my first 'empties of the month' post, I have read a few and enjoyed reading them so thought I would do my own! This is my first post in a while actually, I have been a bit lazy recently and working LOADS!
1. Nivea Happy Time body lotion 250ml
2. Gucci Envy Me EDT 30ml
3. Lee Stafford sea salt spray 150ml
4. Bourjois Volumizer mascara 7ml
5. TIGI cherry almond hairspray 250ml

Nivea Happy Time body lotion
This body lotion states it gives a feel good sensation, i'm not sure about that, but it smell b-e-a-uuutiful! This is a really moisturising lotion, nivea is never a let down for moisture! I love body lotion and get through buckets, this is one of my favourites by far, maybe actually my favourite. I think the fact it smells so good means i apply it when i don't need to but I can't resist, its amazing! Anyway, whilst writing that past sentence I have decided it IS my favourite body lotion at the minute, can't sing its praises enough!
Score: 5/5
Repurchase: YES.

Gucci Envy Me EDT
My Dad actually bought this a while ago, after a trip to France which was a very nice surprise! This has quite a floral smell, is very feminine, and I would maybe even say posh?! I think the bottle is amazing and I won't be throwing it away haha! I really enjoyed using this perfume but there are so many others I want at the moment too, so I would like to buy it again but its going to have to go on my list and wait a while. The only thing I can say with a negative spin, is that I wish I had a larger bottle and I wish perfume wasn't so expensive :(
Score: 5/5
Repurchase: Yes, but not in the near future.

Lee Stafford sea salt spray
Very disappointed with you. The only reason I used the whole bottle is because it smelt so good. I know this is supposed to give a 'beachy effect' so my hair was supposed to look a bit dryer and more wavy but all it did was dry out my hair, make it crispy (yum..) and make it look frizzy. This product did nothing for me, it's horrible! I do quite like the packaging though, I am pretty much obsessed, quite like the writing on the bottle, even if it lies...
Score: 1/5
Repurchase: No.

Bourjois Volumizer Mascara
As you can see, this has got quite worn in my make-up bag! It is a 2 step mascara, step 1 giving you bold, defined lashes, paired with step 2, the second brush, giving you maximum volume. I really like this mascara, it applied clump free every time, didn't clog and lasted ages on my eyes. Not really got anything bad to say except I wish it was cheaper than £10.49!
Score: 4/5
Repurchase: Yes.

TIGI Firm Hold Hair Spray
This is a hairspray from TIGI's 'Love Peace & the Planet' range and I love it! I bought it from TKmaxx for about £5. It is cherry almond scented and smells just like Amaretto, which could possibly put some people off, but personally, I think it's great! The hairspray itself is red/pink in colour but doesn't show in the hair, It is quite heave and a bit sticky for a minute or so but when it dries it holds really well and smells gorgeous for ages too!
Score: 4/5
Repurchase: Yes, if it pops up in TKmaxx again!

My graze box has just arrived, I hope its got pistachio nut in it, they are so so yummy. Im thinking of cancelling my subscription to graze actually, it is fun but I have tried everything I wanted to now and the only thing I get particularly excited by now are pistachios and 'florentine' which is pumpkin seeds, dark chocolate and cranberries and when I don't get them I feel disappointed! I may aswell buy a bag of pistachios and make my own 'florentine' and save money and get more food, but wheres the fun in that?! I don't know, I will think about it for a while xoxo

  8. I love Nivea! The smell is so gorgeous, definitely going to head out and grab this now I've seen your review! That mascara looks fabulous too, such a shame about the Lee Stafford, I've been let down by his products before too! Such a shame!
