Empties Number 17.

Hello My Lovelies

Welcome back to another empties post! This one is full of sugary sweet scents that are my ultimate favourite to use and repurchase and the ones that I've been wanting to use the most recently.

First up is this Pink Vanilla Kiss Fantasy body spray from Body Fantasies. I have loved spritzing myself in this last summer and I wanted to replace it straight away but it was a little tricky to get hold of as it was always out of stock at Superdrug and they couldn't say when they were getting more. It's a really sweet scent and very strong so a small amount really does go a long way.

Next up was a Bath and Body Works foaming hand wash that I purchased when I was in Las Vegas last year. Having never been before I had a shopping list of products I wanted and this was one of them. I love the foaming hand wash (you can't seem to get this kind in the U.K any where) the scent was perfect for summer and really washed my hands well. I've recently repurchased a Bath and Body Works hand wash online and also my friend is currently in the U.S so I'm hoping she's coming back with some more for me.

I must of had this product for years and I recently decided to go through my stash and use up as many of the products as I could before I bought anymore and this Wild Strawberry body spray from Boots was one. Even though its been in my drawer for such a long time it still smelt great and one that I'm happy to have completed.

The final two products are ones that I've already repurchased and they are the Nars Creamy Concealer and the CO-LAB dry shampoo- I won't bang on about them as you know how much I love both products especially the CO-LAB and these are products that will always be both in my stash and here on the blog!

What have you been using up recently I would love to hear!

Till next time,

                  Tori.

Currently Loving-February 2017

Hello My Lovelies

I've not shared my 'favourites' in absolutely ages but I've been using some products recently that I couldn't not talk about so that you too could pick them up and give them a whirl!

Last year I was raving about the Garnier Visibly Clear pink grapefruit range and it has stayed a firm favourite in my skin care collection. The face wash is perfect for days when I need to double cleanse my face, I usually use this straight after my Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish as it leaves my skin feeling really clean and soft. When my skin is being extra troublesome I am grabbing the L'Oréal Pure Clay mask, it dries out any spots within days which was helpful recently when I had a party to go to and wanted my skin looking clear.

Another face product that I can't seem to get enough of is the Sanctuary Spa Cleanse Radiance Exfoliator which I received in my Sanctuary Spa advent calendar. All of the products in the calendar were just amazing but this one was a stand out- I've used this on days when my skin hasn't felt its best and really has helped brighten my skin.

During the winter my legs become really really dry to the point that I'm having to moisturise more than twice a day- I've found that the Vaseline spray moisturiser is epic at keeping the itchy legs at bay as it has lashings of coca butter. Finally my new adored hair product is TIGI S Factor Smoothing Lusterizer which is just perfect for my crazy frizzy as it locks in the natural moisture to tame fly-a-ways!

What are your current favourite products that you couldn't live without? Share them with me in the comments!

Face of the Day-Valentine's Day Edition!

Hello My Lovelies

Valentine's Day is almost upon us! I think I will be eternally single (I swear an ex put a curse on me!) but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy the day by having a good old pamper, a visit to the cinema to see Fifty Shades Darker with my friends and eating plenty of chocolate. Here's my makeup look for Valentine's day!

All of the makeup I've used in this look are all of my most used and loved items not just recently but for a long time, bar the IT Cosmetics CC Cream and Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat lipstick which I've recently purchased but can't get enough of.

My go to concealer and I think probably fast becoming my favourite brand is Estee Lauder Double Wear, I need to get my hands on the Double Wear foundation in light (I'm just using up some of my other foundations first.) Foundation is the IT Cosmetics CC cream which I've had for a couple of weeks and that I've used every day-its super light and easy to blend and looks really natural on the skin.

Next up is the gorgeous Urban Decay bronzer that I picked up last Easter and is another product that I've used every day and surprisingly not hit pan on yet. This bronzer is perfect for pale skin chicks like me as a light dusting gives me a healthy glow rather than a horrid orange face! 

Blush comes in this Benefit Christmas set from a couple of years ago-till I bought this I hadn't owned any Benefit blushes so I love that I can pick and choose which one I want to wear depending on my mood/look. In this face of the day I went with coralista and a little of rockateur. I then added Becca champagne pop highlighter (which is just epic!)

For my eyes I used my all time favourite eyeshadow palette, seriously nothing even comes close its the Marc Jacobs 'The Lover' all of the shades are super pigmented, easy to blend, they don't crease and last for hours! I then added a small amount of the Estee Lauder 'Sumptuous Extreme' mascara- I'm not a huge fan of mascara and actually rarely wear it but this one from Estee Lauder is fab!

I completed my look with the Charlotte Tilbury lip cheat pencil in Pillow Talk and the newly released lipstick of the same name. I've recently started to purchase some bits of bobs from the brand and have been pleasantly surprised. The Pillow Talk lipstick though matte isn't drying and lasted all day!

What are your plans for Valentines Day let me know in the comments!

Till next time,

New In: Colab Paradise Dry Shampoo!

Hello My Lovelies

I'm the biggest an of COLAB, I never used to use dry shampoo and after trying lots of other brands I stumbled across COLAB and ever since I've tried all of the scents. So when ever I see that the brand are releasing a new type of dry shampoo I immediately want to try it! Over the summer it was their Active dry shampoo and now its time for Paradise.

My current preferred scent from COLAB is the New York (fruity) and London (musk and magnolia) but the new Paradise fragrance has knocked these out of the park! Paradise is the best combination of coconut and tropical scent which smells of the best summer holidays ever and it you will be getting little whiffs of it all day!!

The packaging design is going to be up most people's street with flamingo's, pink lid and blue backdrop. I love dry shampoo for when I need to absorb excess oil between washes and I've found that COLAB does this the best, not only does it do this so well but it also doesn't leave big white patches throughout your hair line.

If you have limp roots then I have also found this can add much needed volume especially if you turn your head upside down afterwards and give it a bit of a shake.

I always keep my eye on the shelves at Superdrug as they are usually really good at having COLAB on offer at £1.79 instead of £3.49 and when I picked mine up online they were giving away a pack of small flamingo notebook's!

Have you tried any of the COLAB dry shampoo's or have you got your hands on this new scent- let me know in the comments what you think!

Till next time,

                  Tori.

Curvy Girl Outfit of the Day 20!

Hello My Lovelies

What's better than spending a day with your sister walking around the shops, grabbing some lunch, soaking up some Winter sun and obviously stopping for some outfit of the day photo's!

All of the items in this post are mostly new bought for me over Christmas or in the January sales. First up is my berry red shade, slight roll neck dress from M&S and set me back £13!!! It's the softest material and extremely warm so perfect for colder days and will be perfect to travel in when I go to Iceland in a couple of weeks.

Next up is my coat from Matalan, I had a navy blue one which I also bought from here a couple of years ago and it was amazing quality but I've lost some weight and it was starting to look a bit tired so I was really pleased to find a similar one. This coat like my old one has a huge black furry hood and fleece on the inside panel! 

My leggings are from Primark, they are by far the best quality and price compared to those found in H&M and Peacocks. My Ugg boots are the chocolate short ones and by far the comfiest boots I have ever owned, I have no idea why I didn't buy or in this case ask for them for Christmas sooner! Finally my sunglasses are Ray Ban that I picked up in Gran Canaria back in October and is the first opportunity I've had to wear them. I finished off my outfit with my trusty and favourite bag of all time the Gucci Soho Disco bag.

What are your go to outfits/accessories recently-let me know in the comments!

Till next time,
