The Beauty Graveyard

I have a whole new bag of used up beauty products to review for you!

*'s indicate how many times a product has been in one of my Beauty Graveyard posts, the more *'s you see, the more I love it!

Tesco Pro Formula Radiance Hot Cloth Cleanser

I was really surprised at how much I liked this cleanser. I used it with a muslin cloth and it removed all my makeup, even waterproof mascara. For less than a fiver you cant complain! Would definitely buy again.

Bioderma Crealine H20 ****

The original micellar water, love this stuff. Easiest and quickest way to remove your makeup, pour on a cotton pad and wipe all over your face. Removes both face and eye makeup and is a lot more gentle on your skin than a face wipe, no stinging eyes here! I do love Bioderma but L'oreal's Micellar water is just as good.

Champneys Spa Skin Super Rich Cleansing Balm

As the name suggests this is a super rich cleansing balm! Its actually a bit gritty so doubles as an exfoliator. I really grew to like this but you have to use a cloth or flannel to remove it. A few times I used this in the shower and tried to rinse with my hands, but because it is so rich you need some form of cloth to wipe it away. My mum loved this and I have already repurchased another pot for her, so I'm sure I will be dipping into that too!

Yes to Grapefruit Correct and Repair Daily Facial Scrub

Another one of my American purchases all used up :'( 

I love, love, love the Yes to range because every one of their products is made with at least 95% natural ingredients. Sadly I think the Grapefruit range is only available in America, but if you have access to this definitely try it. Lovely exfoliator, not too harsh or abrasive. I used this in the shower when I wanted more of a deep clean.

Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream *

I do love a multi purpose balm and I have to confess to using this on my feet in recent months, yes they are that dry! If its good enough for horses hooves, its good enough for my size 6's! I would definitely buy this again and would probably try the unscented version next time. I'm currently trying out & Other Stories Plush Balm, which is another great multi purpose balm.

Kiehls Midnight Recovery Concentrate

Since discovering facial oils I haven't looked back and use one every night. Midnight Recovery Concentrate was the first oil I tried and remains one of my favourites. I like that its light, doesn't feel heavy on the skin and after a few weeks I felt my skin looked much healthier. 

Aussie Mega Shampoo ****** 

My favourite shampoo, if you suffer from greasy hair like me you need to try this!

Herbal Essences Moroccan My Shine Nourishing Shampoo and Conditioner

I cant believe how quickly I have got through the beauty products I purchased in America, guess it proves I made good choices ;) If you have dry hair or frizzy hair you will love this shampoo and conditioner. Its so hydrating and left my hair so sleek and shiny. Not the greatest choice for me though, as it was a bit too heavy for my grease ball hair.

Lee Stafford Poker Straight Dry Shampoo

I will never be a massive dry shampoo fan, I hate how dirty they make your hair feel, but the Lee Stafford version is one of the better ones I have tried and I liked having this little can in my bag in case of emergency!

Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray

I never used to like Bumble and Bumble's Surf Spray but I think that's because I was spraying too much in my hair. Go easy on this, leave your hair to air dry and you get perfect beachy, messy waves. I still prefer my Oribe Wave spray to this but the Bumble and Bumble works well to add texture when I have curled my hair.

Bvlgari Jasmin Noir Perfume

If like me you are a fan of more masculine scents like Tom Ford Black Orchid, you will love this perfume. A very sexy, winter scent. I will definitely buy this again.

Lancome Hypnose Star Mascara

A good mascara for adding volume and drama to your lashes. I probably wouldn't repurchase though as I'm pretty fickle when it comes to mascaras.

NARS Sheer Glow Foundation Sample in Sante Fe

I loved this sample so much I bought the full size. Full review here but I can honestly say this is now one of my all time favourite foundations.

Garnier Body Repair Anti Dryness Restoring Lotion ***

When it comes to body moisturisers I don't like to spend a lot of money as I get through them pretty quickly. This has been relieving my dry skin in these harsh Winter months and I love that it sinks in quickly.

Yes To Carrots Hydrating Shower Gel **

99.8% Natural ingredients, that makes me very happy! I will forever repurchase this.

Argan 5 Argan Oil Super Creamy Bodywash

I got this for Christmas and as much as I love my Yes To shower gel it was so nice to use something a bit more creamy and luxurious. I think I will  have to check out the rest of the Argan 5 range now.

L'Occitane Hand Cream *

The one beauty product I hate is hand cream, they are always sticky and I cant bear how they feel. The L'Occitane version is the most bearable I have found and I always get one when they are a magazine freebie!

My Favourite Autumn/Winter Perfumes

I never noticed that I change my perfume with the seasons but most of the perfumes I wore in the Summer months I could not imagine wearing now.

In Winter I love heavier, comforting scents and they are normally quite masculine. Anything that contains amber or vanilla you can pretty much guarantee I will love.  Basically in Summer I want to smell like a coconut, a coconut on a deserted beach and in Winter I want to smell like a sexy man!

Maison Martin Margiela Jazz Club - I have spoken about my love for Maison's perfumes many times before on my blog. I fell head over heels in love with his Replica Line and I have been wearing Beach Walk all Summer. Jazz club is his newest fragrance and its actually a male fragrance. Personally, I quite like wearing men's aftershave, if you love a scent you should wear it why does it matter who its for! As usual, the packaging is divine and it smells like a dream boat of a man, a long haired, bearded dream boat!

Bvlgari Jasmin Noir - One of my favourite Winter scents, its not as strong as say Black Orchid by Tom Ford but its really comforting. To me its a very sensual scent so I like to wear this in the evenings.

All my other Winter scents are in rollerballs which is ideal as they are stronger scents so you only need a few dabs. Although rollerballs are harder to come across in the UK a lot of brands release them for Christmas and Travalo have now come out with a refillable rollerball, which is pretty cool. 

Tom Ford Black Orchid - This used to be my favourite Autumn/Winter perfume, I still love it but beware you really only need a little bit of this. If you put too much on its just too much. I've had this rollerball for about 3 years, so trust me when I say a little goes a long way.

Kate Walsh Boyfriend - "You don't need a boyfriend, to have Boyfriend" - What a relief, hey.

This is a guaranteed winner for me as it has my favourite notes, vanilla and amber. A very masculine but sensual scent.

Kat Von D Sinner and Saint - I like that this is a double ended roller ball, pretty nifty. These are the lightest out of all my Autumn/Winter perfumes and I definitely prefer the "Saint" side, the "Sinner" side is a bit too sweet for my taste.

Kat Von D Adora - My current perfume of choice, this is much more feminine than the others. Like the name I would describe this as a very romantic scent and Ive had quite a few compliments when wearing it, which is always a good sign.
