Empties – April 2022

Hi there! Today’s post is about all the products I finished in April. I used a bunch of single-use face masks – but I didn’t keep the empty sachets (I never do). But here are the big bottles and tubes.

Yves Rocher Monoï Lagoon Moisturizing Perfumed Body Mist – a very nice tropical body mist. I have at least 1 more bottle in my stash.

2 Anna Sui La Vie De Bohème Body Lotion – not my favourite Anna Sui fragrance. The body lotion was nice to use, but I wouldn’t repurchase it (or the matching fragrance).

3 Superdrug Layering Lab Blossom Body Mist – the best cheap Mugler Alien dupe you can find. I have a few more bottles, and I’d always repurchase this body mist.

4 Boots No 7 Protect & Perfect Intense Advanced Serum – one of the best serums ever. A definite repurchase.

5 Agent Provocateur Fatale Intense Eau De Parfum – a really nice fragrance, similar to Mugler’s Angel. I don’t think I’d buy it again though. I have a bunch of other Angel dupes to try and use (and use up).

6 MakeUp Gallery Time To Shine Completely Clear 1 – Poundland’s own brand clear polish. Not the best clear polish, but definitely good enough as a base or top coat.

7 Palmolive Aroma Moments So Sweet Shower Gel With Rooibos Tea, Rose And Almond – one of Palmolive’s best shower gels ever! My husband likes this one too. Unfortunately discontinued, but I have a few more bottles in my stash!

8 Sainsbury’s The Collection Sleep Relax Bath Soak – a very nice bath gel, and a definite repurchase!

9 Imperial Leather Indulgence Rich Moisturising Body Wash Beautiful – a lovely shower gel. Unfortunately discontinued, otherwise I’d buy it again.

10 Yves Rocher Jardins Du Monde Energising Shower Gel With Grapefruit – a decent shower gel. Not my favourite type of grapefruit scent, but I would probably still repurchase this shower gel.

11 Rightguard Shower + Oils With Argan, Marula & Almond Oil – what a beautiful shower gel! My husband used it a few times too, and he also liked it a lot! Unfortunately, this one appears to have been discontinued.

12 Gliss Ultimate Volume Conditioner – just lovely! Too bad Gliss discontinued the Ultimate Volume product line, otherwise I’d buy this conditioner (and the matching shampoo) again.

April was a decent month for empties. I’m glad I managed to finish 3 fragrances and 5 shower and bath products. I hope May will be good too. I already finished 2 products today.

Anna Sui La Vie De Bohème Body Lotion

Hi there! Today’s post is about this Anna Sui La Vie De Bohème Body Lotion.

I found this body lotion for a ridiculous price (£4) at Superdrug. I’ve never smelled the fragrance La Vie De Bohème, and there was no tester in sight.

But since I liked several Anna Sui fragrances in the past, I was rather hopeful that I’d like (or maybe even love) this body lotion.

What does it smell like? The top notes of La Vie De Bohème are rose, pear, red berries and dragon fruit. The heart notes are peony, freesia and mangnolia. The base notes are raspberry, black vanilla, musk, sandelwood and woody notes.

I’ve been using this body lotion on and off for about 3 weeks now, and I don’t really care for it. It has a random sweet fruity-floral scent. I can smell strawberries and random pale flowers. The scent isn’t very special or memorable.

If I had blind-bought the fragrance, I think I’d have been disappointed! I will finish this body lotion, but I won’t repurchase it, and I also have no interest in trying the fragrance. Based on my experience, I wouldn’t recommend La Vie De Bohème, but if you’re interested, Anna Sui La Vie De Bohème Body Lotion is available as 200ml. The matching Eau de Parfum is available as 30, 50 and 75ml.
