Empties #10

This post contains affiliate links, and gifted products.

At this point it’s kind of becoming a running joke that my empties posts are always really far apart. It’s definitely something I need to get better at doing more regularly. Saying that I find that I’m always getting through the same kind of products, and if I’ve included it in a previous post then I don’t want to go over it again.

As this is my tenth empties, that means I have a lot more of these posts; if you are interested.

This is empties #10.

Revlon | Colorstay Normal/ Dry

Where has this been all of my life? I remember this foundation getting lots of hype a few years ago, but I never tried it. That was until August of last year; and now it’s my all time favourite. It has a medium to full coverage, that doesn’t feel heavy or cakey. I always do my skincare routine before foundation, but I have never had a problem with it emphasising any dry patches.

Repurchase?: Already have. 

Morphe | Continuous Setting Mist

morphe setting spray bottle

This one won’t be a surprise if you’ve seen my first project pan update. I included this in the original 10, and it’s the first product to be completely finished. It’s a really lovely mist, as I haven’t come across anything finer than this. I just don’t think it makes my makeup last all day and night. All day? Yes. All day and night? No. It’ll do one or the other, but not both. Where as I like a setting spray that’ll really lock everything into place.

Repurchase?:Maybe at one point, but I have others to use up first.

KVD Vegan Beauty | Tattoo Liner

When I couldn’t get a hold of my usual Soap and Glory Supercat liner, I decided to try this. I’m not sure why this is branded as Kat Von D, as I definitely purchased it after the rebrand. When I received it I thought it was old stock, but it looks like they aren’t changing it. In all honesty I think this is a good liner, it stayed put and lasted all day. The price just puts me off a little. For some reason I don’t like spending a lot on eyeliner or mascara. As the full size is £19.

Repurchase?: Probably not.

St Tropez | Ashley Graham Self Tan

The first time I tried this tan it became my go to. It is such a beautiful colour, and I’ve never had a problem with it streaking. This started off as limited edition, but luckily for me they’ve made it permanent. They’ve tweaked the formula a little, but it’s still a great tan. As it now contains skincare ingredients and a new fragrance.

Repurchase?: Already have.

Good Molecules | Niacinamide Brightening Toner

This was gifted, but all opinions are my own.

I love a good toner and this did not disappoint. It’s gentle enough to work day and night, and it worked really well for my redness. It never dried my skin out, but left it brighter and more even. It contains: Niacinamide, Vitamin C and Arbutin.

Repurchase?: If I didn’t have so much skincare to work through, yes.

Good Molecules | Hyaluronic Acid Serum

This was gifted, but all opinions are my own.

First of all I’m so mad at myself for not mentioning this on my blog sooner. I mentioned it in my January Favourites, but in reality it’s been a favourite since the first time I tried it. It’s lightweight and absorbs into the skin practically straight away. If you struggle with hydration, then you will not be disappointed with this.

Repurchase?: If I didn’t have so much to work through, then 100%

The Body Shop | Mango Bath Blend

I know I’ve said before that if I won’t include the same product more than once in these posts, but this one is different. In my last instalment, I included the banana version and loved it a lot. This led me to trying the mango version, and let’s just say that; I wished that I hadn’t. This is a lovely product, but I hate the colour that it creates. It’s a pale orange that looks dirty. I appreciate that you can use more of less to change the colour, but at £8 a bottle, I don’t want to be chucking it in.

Repurchase?: Not in this scent.

That was Empties #10

What have you finished up recently?

    I love the Revlon Colourstay too! Although I only use it when I want a medium coverage as I opt for more light coverage tints and foundations these days. I also really like the sound of the Good Molecules Niacinamide Brightening Toner, I definitely need to try a few products from Good Molecules at some point x

    I’ve not tried the revlon foundation, but i think we have quite similar skin so I might pick that up! I also love the sound of the good molecules items! I’m always in the market for a hyaluronic acid serum! Milli x – http://millidavison.co.uk/

    You’ve gone through a whole bunch of products! I have neve spoken about my empties, but I have mentioned them in my project pans this year. I feel like since I’ve slowed down my buying of makeup/skincare I’ve actually gone through a lot of products! Great post han xx

    I currently bought a couple of good molecule products including the hyaluronic acid serum you mentioned but I’m sad bc don’t really like sticky serums 🙁 did you see much of a difference in your skin at all?

If you’re local to Cheshire (or willing to travel for a really good scoop) you need to add @bidleadairy to your list📍

Not only is there ice cream, they have: cows, ponies, and a donkey to say hello to🐮

We didn’t stop for food this time, but we’ve made a mental note to come back as everything looked so good!😋

Both kids adore @tractorteduk so I knew this would be a hit, and they spent ages playing!💚

What’s your go to ice cream flavour? This time I went for Raspberry Ripple and White Chocolate M&M’s and it was 10/10😋
🍉 JULY 🍉 wholesome family moments, sunshine, and 🍉 JULY 🍉

wholesome family moments, sunshine, and way too much good food ☀️🍝

From surviving the first heatwave with water play in the garden to a lovely little trip to the farm, it’s been the best kind of month🤍

Make sure you scroll all the way to the end to see Jake getting eaten by a dinosaur 🦖😂

Missing mornings like this✨ Current mood: Sitting Missing mornings like this✨

Current mood: Sitting by a pool in Greece sipping a freddo cappuccino😍

Actual reality: Staring at my kettle in the UK wishing it could do magic tricks😭

Is it actually worth investing in a proper coffee machine? And more importantly, which one should I get?

I actually only like iced coffee, so I’m not sure if a machine is for me, but there’s got to be a way… right?😭😂

☀️ June ☀️ Spent the first half of the month melt ☀️ June ☀️

Spent the first half of the month melting on a beautiful beach on holiday, and the second half melting in my own house🫠 

Swipe to see how hot it was in Ella’s room, just in time for bedtime🙃

Isn’t the heatwave supposed to be coming back too? Send prayers (and fans)😂 How did you survive the  heat?!

1. Take off✈️
2. Couldn’t ask for anything more❤️

5. I may have piled my flatbread a little too high😅
6. Father’s Day at @draytonmanor 🎢
7. There’s always time for a farm trip🐴

We treated the kids to a meal out at weathervanemeirpark this weekend, and the family vibes were lovely. One of the biggest wins was that the staff brought over colouring pages and crayons for both kids without us even having to ask. Which is a lifesaver with two toddlers🥵

Noah and Ella were completely won over by the food. Noah cleared his plate of sausage, chips, and beans, and Ella was living her best life with pasta, corn on the cob, and chips (a toddler dream combo, let’s be real😂)

As for the adults, Jake loved The Big Melt burger. I ordered the Katsu Curry Feast, and we did have a little hiccup where my chicken looked a little pink, but I always judge a place by how they handle mistakes. The staff were absolutely brilliant, replaced it immediately, and even brought over a complimentary drink to apologise. Great customer service honestly makes all the difference.🫶🏻

It’s a super welcoming, stress free spot if you’re looking for somewhere to take the kids this weekend. 

Swipe to the very end to see Ella making sure no ice cream got left behind😂

What’s your ultimate go to meal when you eat out with the family?🍽️

🩵 Father’s Day at @draytonmanor 🩵 Yesterday we he 🩵 Father’s Day at @draytonmanor 🩵

Yesterday we headed to Drayton Manor for the first time, and we absolutely loved it! 🚂

The highlights:

🎢 We managed to hit all the rides we wanted.

⏱️ Queue times were super manageable—the longest we waited was 30 minutes, which is the absolute limit with a 1 and 3-year-old! 😂

🥵 It was too hot to make it to the zoo this time, but with animal-loving toddlers, we will definitely be back to check it out. 🐯

Have you been to Drayton Manor before? 

What’s your ultimate tip for taking toddlers to theme parks in the heat? 👇🏼
