Hello Winter!! I cannot believe how quickly this year has flown by. It doesn't seem 5 minutes ago since I started my Empties series and now I've posted all 12 of 2015!!
So here it is, the last Empties post (and post) of 2015!!
YSL | Opium Eau De Toilette - £44
This is possibly my all time favourite perfume. This particular bottle was my moms. I wear it on my off days (its far too expensive to wear for work!!) and for nights out. Wearing it comforts me when I'm missing mom. She wore it a lot. Some of my earliest memories were of her wearing this perfume, giving me a cuddle before she left for work.
Sadly moms bottle has ran out on me. Fortunately I was bought this for Christmas (check out my What I Got For Christmas post here).
Its a perfume I would say suits women from their mid 20's onwards; its spicy, oriental scented, its bold and mature. I love it.
Repurchase?? I will continue to repurchase this perfume for the rest of my life. It hold so many happy memories for me.
Tresemme | Thermal Recovery Intense Repair and Rehydration Conditioner - £5.99
Once again, I've been using deep treatment conditioners whilst my hair has been on a break from my Microloops. This month I've used a tub of the Tresemme Thermal Recovery Conditioner as I use a lot of heat to tame my frizzy mane. The pot lasted a good 6 sessions which is fab as most products get 4-5 at the most. Unfortunately, despite leaving this conditioner on over night, my hair didn't feel amazing; just average.

Repurchase?? Not for this one. It is great for your everyday kind of conditioner, but lacking in the deep conditioning department which I wasn't expecting with this product.
Soap and Glory | Hand Food - £5.50
Soap and Glory is one of my favourite brands, the packaging is to die for, the scents are incredible and the products are affordable yet work wonders. This product didn't rock my world. The scent I loved, the formula I loved but the outcome wasn't as great as I'd expected. The cream is light and non greasy which is always a bonus for me as I hate sticky/greasy skin. Washing my hands every 15-20 minutes at work means my skin takes a good battering; this cream just couldn't keep up.
Repurchase?? As much as I'd love to based on the scent and formula, it just doesn't do what I need it to do. I'll opt for something a tad stronger.

Garnier | Express 2 in 1 Eyemakeup Remover - £3.39
Yup, another eyemakeup remover. This time I tried the 2 in 1 makeup remover from Garnier as their standard eyemakeup remover played nice with my dodgy eyelids. This product boasts that it removes even waterproof eye makeup with little rubbing. I didn't find that the case; after holding a cotton pad soaked with this product on my eye lid for a good 10 seconds, the makeup did seem to melt however it didn't just wipe off, it needed a good rub to remove all makeup.
Repurchase?? Its not a bad product, it played well with my eyelids but it seems a little gimmicky to me. Its no better than the standard remover. I would repurchase but I'm going to try out a few others first!!
L'Oréal | Elvive | Extraordinary Oil - £9.99
Another empty bottle of one of my favourite hair oils (see my top oils here) is empty!! This stuff is insanely good!! Since using it, my hair feels more hydrated, stronger and glossier!! The oil nourishes the hair and also protects from heat and UV damage. My hair is noticeably tamer and this oil doesn't leave your hair greasy looking!!
Repurchase?? Already stocked up!! Can't go without it!!
