Empties – November 2020

Hi there! Today’s post is about all the products I said goodbye to in November. Read on if you’d like to know which products I finished last month.

1 M&S The Fragrance Collection Peony & Rhubarb Eau De Toilette – This is a lovely fragrance! It’s not an all-time favourite, but it’s a bright and uplighting apple pie fragrance. I can see myself buying another bottle in the future!

2 Nivea Love Fun Times Pink Grapefruit Caring Shower Gel – didn’t care for it. Glad it’s gone. Bye!

3 Montagne Jeunesse Green Tea Peel-Off – this was an OK mask. Nothing special though, so I won’t buy it again.

4 Herbal Essences Bio Renew Passion Flower & Rice Milk Conditioner – this is a decent conditioner, but I don’t think that I’ll buy it (or the matching shampoo) again. These products aren’t really suited to my hair type.

5 Original Source Black Cherry & Nettle Shower – this is a nice shower gel. This fragrance has been discontinued, and I don’t think that I have any more of these in my stash.

6 Original Source Skin Quench Moisturising Shower With Cherry & Jojoba Oil – as above – a nice shower gel, but discontinued, and (most likely) no back up.

I haven’t managed to finish many products in November, but December will be better (3 products finished already, and there will be 4 more over the next 2 days). Thanks for stopping by, lovelies!

Nivea Love Fun Times Pink Grapefruit Caring Shower Gel, Nivea Love Splash Aquatic Caring Shower Gel

Hi there! Today’s post is about 2 shower gels I picked up from Poundland – Nivea Love Fun Times Pink Grapefruit Caring Shower Gel and Nivea Love Splash Aquatic Caring Shower Gel. I’ve given them a try, and here’s what I think.

I love all things grapefruit, so I was looking forward to try Nivea Love Fun Times Pink Grapefruit Caring Shower Gel. However, this shower gel has a random pink scent (more floral than citrusy), so it was not what I wanted, and I wouldn’t buy it again. On a positive note, the shower gel felt good on my skin.

Onto Nivea Love Splash Aquatic Caring Shower Gel! This shower gel is too masculine for me. It has a strong and manly marine fragrance (although this one has a touch of citrus – my guess is bergamot). My husband enjoys this shower gel, and I’m happy for him to finish it.

Nivea Love Fun Times Pink Grapefruit Caring Shower Gel and Nivea Love Splash Aquatic Caring Shower Gel are avaiable as 250ml each. I paid £1 each (Poundland).
