Empties – May 2019

Hi there! It’s already the 3rd of June, so it’s time for my May Empties post. As always, I used a number of single use face masks. I didn’t keep the empty sachets, but if you’re interested, you can click here to read about my latest face mask finds. Without further ado, onto the big bottles, tubes and tubs! 😎

1 Nourish Balance Refining Toning Mist – I didn’t love this face mist, and I won’t be buying it again.

2 Palmolive Aroma Moments Just Fabulous – this is a lovely shower gel that I will buy again, no doubt! My husband used this shower gel too, so this is a shared empty.

3 Treacle Moon The Honeycomb Secret – another amazing shower gel from Treacle Moon. Another shower gel that I will repurchase.

4 Boots Botanics Skin Brightening Deep Clean Gel – this is one of my all-time favourite face washes. Unfortunately, it’s been discontinued ages ago, and this was the last tube I had. 😪

5 Beautifully Scrumptious Almond Body Butter – this is a nice body butter that I might pick up again.

6 Aussie Mega Conditioner – this is one of the best conditioners I’ve ever used. It’s not as good as the original Herbal Essences conditioners, but nothing comes close to those really. In any event, I will repurchase this conditioner (and the matching shampoo) for sure!

7 Original Source Passionfruit and Jojoba Milk Shower Milk – this is a nice shower gel that I might buy again.

8 Pantene Pro-V Youth Protect Rejuvenating Intensive Conditioner – one of Pantene’s best hair products! I would buy this deep conditioner again!

9 Superdrug Cranberry & Pomegranate Body Butter – this body butter was much older than I’d care to admit. It smelled and looked perfect, but I didn’t want to use it on my body – so I decided to use it on my feet instead. It did a great job! This body butter has been discontinued ages ago, and repurchasing it would be impossible!

10 Nivea Age Defying Q10 Hand Cream – a great hand cream! I have a few more of these in my stash!

11 Maybelline Eyeliner Chestnut (x2) – these are nice eyeliners. Now that I’ve finished these 2, I think I just have 2 or 3 more in my stash.

12 Superdrug Naturally Radiant Glycolic Acid Daily Cleansing Pads – I’ll be reviewing these very shortly! 😊

13 Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear Buff – a simple and unspectacular nothing colour. I used this one as a base coat. I wouldn’t buy this polish again.

I’m happy with what I finished in May! Which products have you said goodbye to recently? Feel free to get in touch via the comments. And thanks for reading! 😘

Palmolive Aroma Moments Shower Gels – Just Fabulous & So Luminous

Hi there! Today’s post is about 2 new Palmolive shower gels which I picked up at my local Wilko store – Palmolive Aroma Moments Just Fabulous and Palmolive Aroma Moments So Luminous. These 2 shower gels contain oils which promise to leave your skin feeling soft. I’ve now tried these shower gels, and here’s what I think.

Palmolive Aroma Moments Just Fabulous with iris extract and avocado oil is a revelation. It smells of velvety iris petals, and it feels amazing on my skin. If you want a shower gel that feels luxuriously and that goes with Prada’s Infusion d’Iris fragrance, this is what you’re looking for! Great stuff, Palmolive!

Palmolive Aroma Moments So Luminous with peony extract and macadamia oil feels wonderful on my skin too. The fragrance is more nutty than floral. I like it a lot, but of these two shower gels, I prefer the iris and avocado one.

Palmolive Aroma Moments Just Fabulous and Palmolive Aroma Moments So Luminous are available as 250ml each. Prices vary depending on where you shop. I paid 90p each (special offer).
