Empties – July 2021

Hi there! Today’s post is about all the products I finished in July. I used a few single-use face masks, and you can click here if you’d like to read my latest face mask reviews. Now let’s look at the big bottles…

1 Herbal Essences Moisture Balance Conditioner – a holy grail product. I have plenty of back-up!

2 Original Source Skin Quench Blackcurrant & Moringa Oil Moisturising Shower – this is a nice one! I’d like to buy it again, but it’s been discontinued. I think I’ve seen one more bottle in my stash.

3 Original Source Pink Grapefruit Shower – a really nice shower gel too. Also discontinued. I do have some back-up though.

4 M&S Fragrance Collection Mimosa & Bergamot Eau De Toilette – this is a decent fragrance, and it was nice while it lasted, but I wouldn’t buy it again.

5 Sanctuary Spa Foaming Bath Soak (travel size) – I liked this bath soak a lot, and I’d like to buy the full size.

6 Revlon Nail Care Base Coat – a decent base coat. I would buy it again.

7 Palmolive Aromatherapy Absolute Relax – one of my holy grail shower products. My husband loves it too. I will buy this one again, no doubt!

8 Imperial Leather Mauritian Spa – one of my old favourites. I have one more bottle in my stash.

9 Imperial Leather Beautiful Indulgence Rich Moisturising Body Wash – I like this one a lot too. Also discontinued. 😦 But I have one more bottle.

10 Boots Ingredients Glycolic Acid Toner – this is a very basic toner. I won’t buy it again.

11 Olay Anti-Wrinkle Face Wash With Exfoliating Particles – this is a nice cream wash. Definitely repurchase-worthy.

12 Poundland #6 Anti-Ageing Retinol Facial Serum With SPF 25 – this is a very good serum which I aim to buy again soon!

This is everything I emptied in July. Have you tried any of these products or would you like to try them? Which products have you said goodbye to recently? Feel free to get in touch, and thanks for reading! x

Poundland #6 Anti-Ageing Retinol Facial Serum With SPF 25

Hi there! Today’s post is about this Poundland #6 Anti-Ageing Retinol Facial Serum With SPF 25 which I’ve been using for over a month now. This serum contains retinyl palmitate, hyaluronic acid, green tea extract and shea butter. It promises to fight the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, to hydrate the skin, and to protect the skin from uv rays.

I use this serum every morning immediately after my face mist. I do this so I can lock in some extra moisture from the face mist, and I also get to massage the serum into my face and neck more easily. This serum is perfectly suitable to be used this way. It’s very hydrating, and it makes my skin feel super smooth. It also plays well with the matching day cream. In addition, it seems to help maintain my skin’s firmness and it keeps lines and wrinkles at bay.

Based on my experience, I would recommend this serum! It’s £3 for a 25ml tube which is insanely cheap if you consider the quality and the retinol content (1.5%)! Also, on the back of the pack it states that this serum is cruelty-free and suitable for vegans! 😍
