Empties – March 2023

Hi there! Today’s post is about all the products I said goodbye to in March. The post is a bit late – again. Hopefully work will be less of a hot mess soon! Alrighty, onto the empties!

1 Diesel Fuel For Life Unlimited Body Lotion – the perfect body lotion to match the incredible Fuel For Life Unlimited fragrance. I found another bottle of this amazing body lotion in my stash. I hope this means that there’s another Fuel For Life Unlimited fragrance somewhere!

2 Pantene Pro-V Miracles Grow Strong Biotin + Bamboo Conditioner – a great conditioner! I will buy it (and the matching shampoo) again. My husband is enjoying the leftover shampoo quite a bit.

3 Imperial Leather SkinKind Raspberry & Lime Blossom Enriching Body Wash – a decent shower gel but not a favourite. It’s been discontinued and I’m OK with that.

4 Palmolive Naturals Black Orchid & Moisturising Milk Shower Milk – I think this was the last of its kind. So sad that this incredible shower gel has been discontinued!

5 Nivea Happy Time Shower Cream – this is a nice shower gel that I bought and enjoyed before and that I’ll buy again. Although it pales in comparison to the beautiful Palmolive shower gel…

6 I Love… Raspberry & Blackberry Bubble Bath & Shower Cream – this is a lovely shower gel. I have a few more of these in my stash!

7 Beckham Fragrances Intimately Beckham Eau De Toilette – I love this fragrance! Such a shame that this beauty has been discontinued!

8 L’Oréal Skin Perfection Velvety-Soft Toner – this toner is awesome! It’s not available anymore with this packaging, but I believe the current Fine Flowers toner is the same (or similar). I will try it soon.

9 I Love… Choca Mocha Lala Moisturizing Lip Balm – this was such an amazing lip balm. Sadly, discontinued as well.

I thought March would be better for empties, but hey ho… Thanks 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

Diesel Fuel For Life Unlimited Body Lotion & Eau De Parfum

Hi there! Today’s post is about this Diesel Fuel For Life Unlimited Body Lotion & Eau De Parfum gift set. I dug it up from my stash the other day, and I was delighted to find it. I used to love Diesel Fuel For Life Unlimited – I went through several bottles 10+ years ago. Memories of a much different time in my life…

Alrighty, let’s look at the products. Diesel Fuel For Life Unlimited Eau De Parfum has the following notes: lemon, mandarin, guava and peach (top notes), licorice, jasmine, tuberose, aloe vera and lily (heart notes), and sandalowood, cedar and musk (base notes).

This fragrance is simply divine! It starts off with fresh and sunny citruses. After a few minutes the citruses have disappeared, and the fragrance smells spicy and warm – with a lot of licorice and a touch of musk, kissed by sandalwood. Gorgeous!

The body lotion is lovely too! It smells just as good as the fragrance, and it’s a beautifully scented base for the EdP. I find the body lotion to be hydrating and easy to use – it’s not too runny, and it sinks right into the skin. This is a quality body lotion! I’m enjoying it very much!

I still love these products all these years later. It’s a shame that this fragrance has been discontinued. I believe it was only ever meant as a limited edition – although I never understood why you’d have “unlimited” in the name of a limited edition fragrance.

Anyhoo… Diesel Fuel For Life Unlimited Body Lotion is available as 200ml and Diesel Fuel For Life Unlimited Eau De Parfum is available as 50ml. These items now sell for stupid money online – I would never pay that much. So I’ll just enjoy these products for as long as they last (and I’ll give myself a pat on the back for hoarding fragrances and fragrance gift sets).
