Empties – May 2018

Hi there! Happy Friday! It’s the 1st of June, so it’s time for my May Empties post. As always, I’ve used a number of single-use face masks. Whilst I don’t keep the empty sachets, you can read about my latest face mask finds if you click here. Now onto the ‘real’ empties!

1 Pacifica Island Vanilla Perfume – this was nice while it lasted, but I don’t think I’ll buy it again. Having said that, I believe I have 2 Island Vanilla scented perfume roll-ons in my stash…

2 Superdrug Optimum Skin Illuminating Glycolic Overnight Peel – I really liked this one. However, Superdrug sells another glycolic overnight peel that gives me the same results and that’s half the price, so I’ll stick with the cheaper product.

3 The Body Shop Early Harvest Raspberry Eau De Toilette – I’m glad this one’s finished. I wouldn’t buy it again. I have another bottle in my stash, but I’ll pass it on to my teenage relative who I hope will enjoy it more.

4 B. Confident Hyaluronic Acid Facial Spritz – this is one of my holy grail products! 🙂

5 Olay Hydration & Cleansing 2 In 1 Cleanser & Moisturiser Duo – this is a nice cleansing milk. I will buy it again, no doubt!

6 Christina Aguilera Eau De Parfum – this is a really nice fragrance. I might buy it again.

7 Palmolive So Tempting Shower Gel – this is a lovely shower gel that reminds me of Flower by Kenzo. I am happy to buy it (the shower gel, not the perfume) again. 🙂

8 TRESemmé Colour Revitalise Vibrant Colour Protection Conditioner – this conditioner is the epitome of “average”. I am glad it’s gone.

9 Treacle Moon Warm Cookie Dough Bath & Shower Gel – this shower gel is awesome. My husband enjoyed it too, so this one’s a shared empty. I’ll buy it again, no doubt!

10 Dr. Organic Aloe Vera Shampoo (travel size) – this is a decent shampoo. I might buy it again.

11 Boots Essentials Cucumber Facial Toner – this toner is excellent. I’m happy to repurchase it.

12 Boots Extracts Sweet Mango Body Spray – Boots’ mango fragrance is simply the best. I’m glad a have a few bottles of this awesome body spray in my stash.

13 Radox Feel Exotic Shower Gel – I didn’t love this shower gel, and I won’t buy it again.

14 Classics Nail Polish Remover – this is the best nail polish remover there is for £1. I’ve gone through several bottles over the years, and I’m sure I’ll buy many more.

15 Garnier Body Intensive 7 Days Smoothing Nourishing Lotion With Cocoa Butter – this body lotion is awesome! I’ll buy it again, no doubt!

This is everything I finished in May. I’m happy I managed to finish a few fragrances and skin care products – and that 900ml conditioner. 🙂 Have you tried any of these products? Which products have you emptied recently? Feel free to get in touch. And thanks for reading!

April Beauty Awards

Hi there! It’s the last day of the month, so it’s time for my monthly favourites post! As always, I’ve chosen my 3 favourites from all the products I’ve reviewed this month. And I’ve thrown in a few honourable mentions as well. Let’s start with the TOP 3!

3rd place – Superdrug Simply Pure Leave On Water Mask

It took me a few days to fall in love with this product. After the first try I wanted to return it. But I’m glad I didn’t. Yes, this mask is unusual, but it’s amazing, and that’s all that counts.

Runner-Up – Palmolive So Tempting & Be Sensual Shower Gels

I could kick myself for not trying these shower gels sooner. If you’re looking for shower gels to go with your Prada Infusion d’Iris or Flower by Kenzo frargrances, look no further!

WINNER – Hunny Bee Lavender Face Mask Infused With Charcoal

Hunny Bee’s Charcoal & Lavender sheet masks are really something. They made my skin look and feel cleansed and refreshed, and they made my pores appear considerably smaller. Awesome stuff!

Onto the honourable mentions! Garnier’s Pure Active Fruit Energy Daily Energising Gel Scrub is very good. Boots’ Extracts Luscious Vanilla products are all-time favourites, and Superdrug’s Cucumber Peel-Off Mask is very nice!

Have you tried any of these products? Which products did you love the most this month? Feel free to comment. And thanks for stopping by!
