I have finished quite a few things up this month so thought it was time to share the old empties I’ve had stashed away. All too often, people try and throw this stuff away proclaiming it is rubbish and think I’m crazy when I explain I am saving it for a blog post…Moving on!
The Amie Spring Clean Cooling Clay Mask (reviewed here) *pr sample – I wasn’t impressed by this unlike a lot of people. I wouldn’t repurchase.
Wild Rose Revitalising Eye Pads – I received these as a present from Sarah from Life In A Breakdown. They weren’t the best I have ever tried but they sure did the trick in getting me to chill out for five minutes! Unsure about repurchasing.
Simply Pure 3 in 1 Cleansing Facial Wipes – Shock horror, there are some wipes in my empties! However, I rarely use these on my face unless wiping away some rogue mascara. Instead, I use these to clean my hands whilst swatching and blogging – something I multitask at a lot. It is all well and good swatching but do I really want that makeup all over my keyboard? Nope. These are okay and cheap so they will do.
Ole Henriksen Ultimate Lift Eye Gel – No idea where this came from, probably a beauty box. It was in my box of sample sachets so I thought I would give it a go. I wish I hadn’t. It burned so I removed it straight away. Never touching again.
Apivita Express Beauty with Apricot *pr sample – Talked about this at length, it is simply amazing.
Lots of smelly stuff as it comes to the end of summer..
Charlie Enchant body spray – Nothing to say here, it did its job. Will probably repurchase in the future.
Nivea Double Effect Anti Perspirant – Really liked this. Will repurchase in the future but have others to work through right now. Really helped keep me feeling fresh.
Dove Beauty Finish Deodorant – I love Dove deodorants so will buy again, however I also have loads of deodorants to get through right now.
So…? Sinful body spray – Gutted that I finished this so quickly, spritzing this really took me back! I know this will make an appearance again soon.
Charlie Red body spray – Iconic and something I used to wear when I was 14. Still love it. As with most body sprays, I will probably repurchase as it is cheap and smells great.
Co-Operative Mandarin and Lemongrass Shower Gel – I picked this up from my local Co-Op ages ago but since I could open my own bath products shop (I seriously have that many!), I only recently finished it. It smelt amazing but I am not sure if I would repurchase this.
Kelly Brook Couture Bath & Shower Creme – I don’t even want to think about how long it had been in my collection but there was a tiny bit left which seemed okay so I used it. Nothing to write home about.
Linen Blush Hair and Body Wash – I was given this by my friend Em. It was okay and did the job. Not sure I would repurchase though.
nspa Jojoba and White Jasmine Moisturising Shower and Body Wash (reviewed here) *pr sample – I quite enjoyed this and tended to choose it over other products however it didn’t last that long *sob*. I will definitely be picking up another soon.
Champneys Spa Indulgences Distant Shores Body Scrub – I need the large tub of this, it is amazing! The majority of us picked this up at the Herts/Beds meetup and safe to say, we all love it! It smells incredible and you can really see results. Amazing.
Lush Catastrophe Face Mask sample – Quickly put, this wasn’t the worst nor the best I have tried from Lush. Probably won’t pick up again.
Clinique Superbalm Lip Treatment – Loved this. A little on the pricey side but will definitely pick another up.
Ginvera Green Tea Exfoliating Marvel Gel (reviewed here) *pr sample – I love this. I hadn’t used it for a while, came back to it and loved it all over again only for it to finish! Luckily, I had spares! This is amazing, totally recommend.
Argan and Frankincense Cream – Trialled this away from the blog for a while and finally used the last dregs up at the beginning of this month. I used this as a day cream and found it to be pretty good.
Balance Me Wonder Eye Cream – I love this eye cream! I was so gutted to use it up and will be picking another up when I get a chance. I do have quite a few to use up first though.
LP Skin Therapy Refining Lip Exfoliator – Although I love the Look Beauty Lip Smoothie, this is probably the best lip scrub I have tried. Unfortunately, it is quite expensive so it would have to be a real treat for me to consider repurchasing.
MUA Shade 12 Lipstick – I had almost finished it when the lipstick died a death so I thought I may as well put it in this post. I used to adore this lipstick but things quickly overtook it. Whilst I almost used it up, I doubt I’d buy again.
Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream Lip Protectant – Okay, I shall let you into a little secret. I haven’t totally finished this up. There is a little amount in a small plastic tub sitting next to me on my desk right now. However, the bullet snapped whilst in the tube so I fished it out and put it in the tub for use. At the price this is, I am not wasting any especially when it is as good as this! I will definitely repurchase, however I hope I don’t encounter the same problems next time!
What products have you finished up this month?
I have been wondering about that clinique super balm – glad to hear it worked out for you!
