August Empties

Here are the items that I have recently finished and a little about what I thought of them.

This Works Deep Sleep Pillow Spray (sample)

I got this sample in a Space NK goodie bag, it was a good little size, there was enough to use about 15 times   or so.  I really liked this, it contains essential oils of Lavender, Vetivert and Wild Camomile and I would spray it either on my pillow or sheets but found you only need one or two sprays as it is fairly strong.  I found the aroma really relaxing and it just made me get in the mood for sleep (if that makes sense).  I have to confess that I hardly ever having problems sleeping so I probably don't have any need for this product but I would definitely repurchase as its a lovely way to end the day.

Kerastase Bain Chroma Riche Shampoo

I bought this shampoo from Lookfantastic.com when there was a sale on and I have already repurchased!  Yep I really like it.  Its a shampoo for damaged, coloured, highlighted or sensitised hair and due to highlights and blowdrying my hair everytime I wash it!  I can't use this shampoo everytime I wash my hair as I find it weighs it down slightly but I use this every third shampoo and find it keeps the condition in good nick and my highlights have not faded.  It smells really nice and lathers up well and comes in a nice pink bottle - what more could I want?!

Vidal Sassoon Illumunating Restore Mask (sample)

I got this sample in a Glossybox a while back.  Its a weekly treatment which is meant to condition your hair and bring your colour back to life.  It is also meant to prevent breakage.  I really enjoyed using this and I did think my hair looked better afterwards.  After shampooing I smothered my hair (from the middle to the ends) in the mask and left it for about 10 minutes.  It felt more silky when it was dry but still manageable.  I would buy this again if the price was right - I am not sure what a full tube of this retails at.  If its reasonable I'd definitely buy it.

Space NK Beautannia Bath and Shower Gel in Brighton and Balfour 

Both of these shower gels were part of a gift set, they are a decent size for travelling but also last quite well as they really lather up so I just used them at home in the shower.  Both smell lovely but my favourite has to be Balfour - I was so sad when I finished this as it was so lovely.  Balfour contains English fern, oakmoss and vetiver - I found it a woody smell and would love to use this in winter.  However it costs £30 for a full size bottle so I will have to pass on it (sob sob).  If it ever goes in the sale though I shall be purchasing!!
