Empties – January 2022

Hi there! It’s the first day of a new month, and this means that today’s post is about last month’s beauty empties. And here they are!

1 Superdrug Vitamin E Skin Care Lip Balm – a decent lip balm! I have another one in my stash.

2 Mugler Aura Eau De Parfum Sensuelle – this is a nice fragrance for sure, but I didn’t enjoy it enough to buy it again.

3 Rimmel Lycra Pro 421 Clearly Clear – one of my favourite clear polishes. I should have a few more of these in my stash.

4 Yves Rocher Jardins Du Monde Well-Being Shower Gel With Lavandin – this is a decent shower gel in many ways, but not a favourite, so I won’t be buying it again.

5 Dove Go Fresh Revive Body Wash With Pomegranate and Lemon Verbena Scent – I don’t think I’ll buy this shower gel again. It’s just not repurchase-worthy.

6 Palmolive My Fresh Splash Shower Gel – such a lovely shower gel. Too bad it was a limited edition, otherwise I’d buy it again.

7 Agent Provocateur Aphrodisiaque Eau De Parfum – nice enough while it lasted (my husband liked this fragrance on me), but I wouldn’t buy it again.

8 Garnier Skin Active Soothing Botanical Toner With Rose Water – this is an OK toner. I don’t think I’ll buy it again.

9 B. Confident Hyaluronic Acid Facial Spritz – a beauty staple! I have a few more of these!

10 Gliss Liquid Silk Shampoo & Conditioner – I love Gliss’ liquid silk hair products. A definite repurchase!

11 Radox Essentials Soft Care Bath Cream with Milk – one of my favourite bath products ever. Unfortunately, it was discontinued, so I can’t buy it again.

12 Classics Nail Polish Remover – my go-to nail polish remover!

13 Prada Infusion D’Iris Eau De Toilette – a really nice fragrance. Repurchase-worthy!

14 Patisserie De Bain Orange Crush Hand Cream – a decent hand cream, no doubt, but I don’t think that I’ll repurchase it.

15 Olay Anti-Wrinkle Firm & Lift Eye Renewal Gel – one of my all-time favourite eye products. I have at least 2 more in my stash.

I also used 11 single-use face masks. And all in all, I’m happy with what I managed to use up in January!

Dove Go Fresh Nourishing Body Wash With Plum & Sakura Blossom Scent, Dove Go Fresh Revive Body Wash With Pomegranate and Lemon Verbena Scent

Hi there! Today’s post is about 2 creamy shower gels – Dove Go Fresh Nourishing Body Wash With Plum & Sakura Blossom Scent and Dove Go Fresh Revive With Pomegranate and Lemon Verbena Scent. Let’s get to the reviews!

Dove Go Fresh Nourishing Body Wash With Plum & Sakura Blossom Scent is not great. The shower gel doesn’t feel very cleansing. Definitely only for when you haven’t broken a sweat. Also, the fragrance is simply awful. It’s a sweet mess… what were they thinking?! I had this shower gel before and didn’t like it. No idea why I bought it again – what was I thinking?! This shower gel will now be squeezed into our hand wash dispenser in the kitchen.

Dove Go Fresh Revive Body Wash With Pomegranate and Lemon Verbena Scent is nicer but I’m not blown away. Overall, the scent is nice and fruity, but it also has that borderline annoying Dove cream aroma mixed in. I aim to finish this one as a shower gel – but it will depend on how quickly I grow tired of it. On another notes, I found this shower gel to be drying. It’s supposed to be gentle, but it really isn’t. 30 minutes after the shower my skin felt tight and dry.

I won’t buy them again, but if you’re interested, Dove Body Washes are available as 225ml for about £2.50. I bought mine when they were half price at my local Asda store.
