Garnier Organic Lemongrass Fresh Detox Gel Wash

Hi there! Today’s post is about this Garnier Organic Lemongrass Fresh Detox Gel Wash with organic lemongrass essential oil, organic cornflower water, botanical glycerin and with a fragrance of natural origin.

I’ve been using this face wash for a few weeks now, and I like it – but I don’t love it. The fragrance may be natural, but it’s not the most pleasant fragrance. It’s kind of harsh.

I’ve noticed that this face wash gives my skin a bit of redness if I use it twice a day. But there are no issues at all if I stick to using this face wash in the morning only.

I would say that the face wash cleanses my face reasonably well. It’s not the best face wash ever, but much better than Nivea’s blue face wash and other such random products.

I will continue to use this face wash. I might buy it again – but I’m not sure at this point. But I’ll know by the time this bottle is empty.

What else is good? According to Garnier, the bottle is made from 100% recycled plastic, and the formula of the face wash is vegan and organic!

If you’re interested, Garnier Organic Lemongrass Fresh Detox Gel Wash is available as 150ml for £5.99. I paid £3.99 (save 1/3 offer).

Beckham Fragrances Intimately Beckham Eau De Toilette

Hi there! Today’s post is about Beckham Fragrances Intimately Beckham Eau De Toilette which has the following notes: white flowers, rose and bergamot (top notes), tuberose, lily and orange blossom (heart notes), and musk, sandalwood and vanilla (base notes).

Intimately Beckham is such a lovely fragrance! It smells very much like Dior Poison – wow! It’s feminine and floral, soft and warm, and it’s suitable for all age groups! I love the mix of lily and tuberose with a kiss of musk and a touch of vanilla. I’ve been wearing this fragrance for 3 weeks now, and I can’t stop using it. Too bad because the bottle will be empty within days. 😢

Like so many other good things, Beckham Fragrances Intimately Beckham Eau De Toilette has been discontinued. I have a 30ml bottle – and I regret not getting the big 75ml one as this fragrance used to be dirt cheap via Fragrance Direct and allbeauty.com. Ah well… for now, I will enjoy the last few drops of this fragrance while I hope for the Beckham ladies fragrances to be revived. Fingers crossed!

Palmolive Naturals Almond & Milk Shower Cream, Palmolive Naturals Black Orchid & Moisturising Milk Shower Milk

Hi there! Today’s post is about 2 of my all-time favourite shower gels – Palmolive Naturals Almond & Milk Shower Cream and Palmolive Naturals Black Orchid & Moisturising Milk Shower Milk.

Palmolive Naturals Almond & Milk Shower Cream is THE one shower gel that I’ve loved the longest – I started to use it as a teen some time in the 90s! And this shower gel has the most beautiful sweet and milky fragrance. It smells somewhat of almond, but it’s 10 levels above any other almond-scented body product. This shower is… heaven!

Palmolive Naturals Black Orchid & Moisturising Milk Shower Milk is wonderful too. It smells dark, velvety and sensual. Absolutely gorgeous! I’m sad that this is the last bottle in my stash. I wish I had a few more because this beauty has been discontinued. 😦

Palmolive Naturals Almond & Milk Shower Cream and Palmolive Naturals Black Orchid & Moisturising Milk Shower Milk are available as 250ml each. If you come across these shower gels at some discount store, get them while you still can! I can’t imagine that anyone would not love these. 😀

Wright’s Cleansing Traditional Soap With Coal Tar Fragrance

Hi there! Today’s post is about this Wright’s Cleansing Traditional Soap With Coal Tar Fragrance. Apparently some time ago, this soap used to contain coal tar, but this is no longer the case. As of now, this soap contains tea tree oil instead of coal tar, but it still has a coal tar fragrance.

I’ve never used this soap – until now – and I like it very much. The soap bar is orange, and it has a very strong scent that has filled the bathroom within minutes. The scent is unusual but I like it.

The soap lathers up nicely, and it feels cleansing. This is particularly nice after a sweaty workout. I’ve noticed that the soap isn’t drying at all – another big plus. I will continue to use the soap, and based on my experience, I would recommend it.

If you’re interested, Wright’s Cleansing Traditional Soap With Coal Tar Fragrance is available as 125g for 85p.

1 Palmolive Naturals Ultra Moisturization With Olive & Moisturizing Milk – what a beautiful shower gel. I have another bottle in my stash.

2 Creightons Keratin Pro Damage Repair Strengthening Conditioner – this is a very good conditioner. I will repurchase it (just like the matching shampoo).

3 Imperial Leather Mauritian Spa – this is an old favourite. Unfortunately discontinued, but I have another bottle in my stash.

4 I Love… Raspberry & Blackberry – what a lovely hand cream! Too bad it’s been discontinued, but I have another tube in my stash.

5 Botanical Lab Neem Leaf + Salicylic Acid Anti-Blemish Gentle Face Wash – one of my all-time favourite face washes. Already repurchased!

6 Treacle Moon Happy Melon Sorbet – this is a fantastic shower gel. It smells like honeydew ice cream. Delicious! I have a few more bottles in my stash.

7 Boots Glow Pineapple Sleep Mask (no photo as I misplaced the tub) – this was a nice night cream. Very rich and lovely. This product has been discontinued, so I can’t buy it again.

February was another poor month for Empties. But I have high hopes for March! Fingers crossed! And thank you for stopping by today. xx

February Beauty Awards

Hi there! Today’s post is about my favourite products from February. The post is a day late but hey ho… what can I do? I didn’t review that many products lately. But I’m very happy that I got to try and review 3 products which I ended up loving. And here they are.

3rd place – Essano Rosehip Moisture Restoring Night Crème

This Essano night cream is lovely! It’s rich and hydrating, but it doesn’t clog up my pores. It’s a great moisturiser.

Runner-Up – Creightons Keratin Pro Damage Repair Strengthening Shampoo & Conditioner

I didn’t expect too much from these cheap hair products, but I ended up loving them! I will buy them again next time I swing by the bargain store!

WINNER – Diesel Fuel For Life Unlimited Body Lotion & Eau De Parfum

Diesel Fuel For Life Unlimited is a magical fragrance! No idea why this was a limited edition, but this is the best fragrance by far that Diesel ever made. I love the fragrance and the body lotion. True 11 STAR products!

And this is it for today. Thanks for stopping by! xx
