July Empties - DITCH or DOUBLE UP

I can't believe we are working our way through August already!... This year is going so so fast.

I tend to use the same products over and over again buy do have the odd spell of using something completely different, and I will admit I'm a complete hoarder and have tons upon tons of products that just sit collecting dust. So I've decided to give them a go as I obviously bought them for a reason.. And seen a few people doing these empties posts so thought i would join in as I've got plenty of things to empty!

So here are my empties for July..


Top left-right: Tresemme hair spray, GOSH x-ceptional wear foundation, Soap & Glory body butter, Solait body bronzer
Bottom left-right: Garnier Pure 3in1, Escada taj sunset perfume, Dior Diorshow Iconic mascara, St Moriz tanning mousse
 I'm going to tell you a bit about each and what I thought of them and also choose to Ditch or Double.. (basically if I will or wont buy the product again).

Tresemme extra-hold salon finish hairspray
Positives - fast drying, smells delicious, 24 hour climate control and humidity resistant, natural looking and strong hold.
Negatives - brushes out easily so needs to be applied right at the end of styling and then left well alone
DITCH/DOUBLE UP

GOSH x-ceptional wear foundation
Positives - perfume free, soft and creamy texture, easy to apply, full coverage.
Negatives - needs to be touched up throughout the day, looks patchy if not applied evenly.
DITCH/DOUBLE UP

Soap&Glory 'butter up' deluxe body smoothing cream
Positives - lovely smell, lots of natural ingredients (aloe vera, shea butter, cocoa butter, sweet almond oil, crushed grape and citrus), leaves skin soft
Negatives - leaves the skin quite greasy and takes a while to rub in (probably because its a thick butter type cream, but not ideal if you dont have all day to get ready as takes a while to apply)
DITCH/DOUBLE UP

Solait body bronzer
Positives - matte finish so looks very natural, can be used all over the body, different shades available
Negatives - no negatives about the product itself just that the powder smashes easily when dropped (but thats totally my fault for being clumsy lol)
DITCH/DOUBLE UP

Garnier pure 3-in-1 wash, scrub and mask
Positives - versatile and has more than one use, good for imprefection prone skin, leaves skin feeling smooth, can be used as a mask or as a face wash.
Negatives - states it cleans out pores but it seemed to clog mine up instead, was better to use as a mask rather than a face wash as everyday use left my skin feeling a bit dry.
DITCH/DOUBLE UP

Escada taj sunset perfume
Positives - gorgeous summer holiday smell, sleek bottle, fruity fresh smell, long lasting.
Negatives - NONE! I love this perfume so much!
DITCH/DOUBLE UP

Fake Bake beyond bronze instant tan
Positives - good to apply to the face as its quite a light thin coverage
Negatives - only 1 or 2 full body applications,
DITCH/DOUBLE UP

Diorshow iconic mascara
Positives - good wand making it easy to apply, lengthens and thickens the lashes
Negatives - dries out quickly so not very long lasting which isnt too good for me as I use mascara everyday and its not the cheapest!
DITCH/DOUBLE UP

St Moriz instant tanning mousse
Positives - buildable colour, tans instantly to avoid missing any areas, long lasting, no streaks, different shades available, cheap at £2.99 and I prefer it to fake bake which is 10x the price!
Negatives - smells like cornflakes, rubs off onto bed sheets even when dry
DITCH/DOUBLE UP
