I've never done an empties post before, but they are posts and videos that I always enjoy reading and watching. I have been saving up products for an empties post for quite a while and I think I over estimated how much I needed to save for a post...to the point that I will be splitting this post down! Part of me thinks this would be much easier to make into a video, but maybe that's something I'll think about doing in the New Year? We'll see...
I'll start with the hair products I've managed to finish. I'm not too big on hair - I would love to have hair skills, but I'm absolutely, utterly useless. I stick to the basics and hope something will work out for me. That said, I seem to have quite a few empties from this category...
The Herbal Essences Uplifting Volume Dry Shampoo was something I was really excited to try as I finally thought I'd found a dry shampoo which I could switch from Batiste to. Unfortunately though, it wasn't the case. I haven't actually finished either of these two bottles, because the nozzle completely blocked on both cans. One I thought might have been a dud, but two definitely makes me think it's the product itself. I won't be repurchasing...I'll pop a full review up sometime soon.
I've managed to finish two leave in conditioners. First up is The Bed Head Colour Goddess Leave In Conditioner and I've had this for quite a while. It smells insane - it's a real caramel, fudgey scent and I absolutely love it. This leaves my hair feeling silky soft and doesn't weigh my hair down. I like it, and would own it again if I could find it, but I think if I was going to buy another leave in conditioner I would buy my next empty - the Milk Shake Conditioning Whipped Cream. This smells like vanilla ice cream, and is a really light weight conditioning mousse. It's amazing, and I would definitely buy this again.
The VO5 Give Me Texture Spray was something I was really looking forward to using, and it was okay...nothing special. It gave my hair a bit of oomph, but I think that the spray was lacking some grit. You need to set the style with hair spray to make it hold, and I'd rather it just be an all in one product without the need for hair spray. I think I'll be looking into some other options as I can do all this with my Batiste XXL Volume Dry Shampoo.
The Avon Advanced Techniques Oil was another one I really liked and will be buying again. I don't order from Avon really, so maybe I'll ask around and ask somebody to pop it onto their order. I don't think it's an oil - it feels more like a serum, but it's an amazing price for a product that really helps to smooth down any wispy bits and helps to make my hair look generally sleeker.
Finally the OSIS Dust It Powder was one I have really been loving lately. It is a super fine, mattifying powder which adds texture and lift to my otherwise boring hair. You can use it just shaken into the roots and rubbed in, apply it to damp hair for an intense lift, or apply to your hands and rub through the hair for some texture. It's got grit and hold - it feels a little sticky, but nothing horrendous and I feel like I'll be needing another one of these asap...
Have you got any hair recommendations for me to try?
