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!

Mugler Aura Eau De Parfum Sensuelle

Hi there! Today’s post is about a fragrance I’ve been wearing on and off since August (or so) – Mugler Aura Eau De Parfum Sensuelle. This fragrance has the following notes: gardenia and cinnamon leaf (top notes), green notes (heart notes), and white musk and sandalwood (base notes).

This is an unusual but very wearable fragrance. It smells green, but at the same time it’s sweet. It reminds me of sweet woodruff and strawberry leaves with herbal (almost medicinal) undertones.

It’s one of those fragrances that are very hard to describe. I don’t think this one is a safe blind buy, but if you like the original Aura, this one is similar (although the original Aura is better).

Whilst I like this fragrance, I wouldn’t actually recommend it because it’s rather faint, and it only lasts about 2-3 hours on my skin. I have to spray A LOT (think body mist) to get a half-decent scent cloud.

If you’re interested, Mugler Aura Eau De Parfum Sensuelle is available as 30ml and 50ml. I paid £34.95 for the 50ml. Ultimately, the price will depend on where you shop! 😉
