Empties – November 2021

Hi there! It’s the first day of a new month, so this means that today’s post is about last month’s beauty trash = November’s empties. I used a bunch of single use face masks, and you can read about my latest face mask finds if you click here. Now let’s look at the big bottles and tubs and…

1 Radox Blueberry Scent Bath Bomb (no photo) – this was a single-use bath bomb, hence no photo. I enjoyed this bath bomb, and I might buy it again.

2 Original Source Green Banana & Bamboo Milk Moisturising Shower Milk – this is a really nice shower gel! I’d buy it again, but unfortunately, it was discontinued.

3 Radox Muscle Relax Bath Salts With Peppermint Scent – I used them twice and didn’t care for them. My husband used most of these salts, but he also didn’t love them. I won’t buy these bath salts again.

4 Max Factor Pan Stik 12 True Beige – my all-time favourite foundation! I have a few more of these!

5 Superdrug Layering Lab Paradise Body Mist – I liked this one a lot, and I will buy it again.

6 Valjean Labs Restore Facial Serum – a decent serum. Not groundbreaking though. I won’t repurchase it.

7 Boots No7 Total Renewal Micro-Dermabrasion Exfoliator – this is a very nice product. I will buy it again, no doubt.

8 Patisserie De Bain Mango Sorbet Hand Cream – a decent hand cream. Repurchase-worthy.

9 Olay Regenerist Luminous Tone Perfecting Cream – this is the US version of the cream, and I didn’t like it as much as the UK version. This one isn’t very moisturising, unfortunately.

10 Palmolive Aroma Therapy Absolute Relax – an all-time holy grail shower gel. I have a few more of these.

11 L’Oréal Elvive Colour Protect Caring Conditioner – a very nice conditioner! I have another shampoo and conditioner combo in my stash.

12 Westlab Dead Sea Salt Soothing Bath & Shower Gel – a nice shower gel. I can see myself buying it again.

November wasn’t a bad month for empties. I hope I can keep the streak going and finish the year with at least 12 more products (aiming for a few more, though…). Fingers crossed!

Radox Muscle Relax Bath Salts With Peppermint Scent

Hi there! Today’s post is about these Radox Muscle Relax Bath Salts With Peppermint Scent. Whilst I’m not the biggest fan of peppermint-scented toiletries, I bought these because they were better than half price at Sainsburys.

How do they work? They’re pretty standard – simply use 2-3 handfuls of these salts, let them dissolve in the bath water and let them “soothe your tired muscles“.

I’ve used these bath salts twice, and I didn’t really like them. The peppermint scent is one thing, but what really annoyed me was that these balts salts have a strong cooling effect. I tried to have a nice, warm bath, but thanks to these bath salts, it felt like there was a layer of ice water between my body and the warm water.

My husband ended up finishing these bath salts. He didn’t hate them but he told me I don’t have to repurchase them. If you like cooling bath salts, especially after a workout, you might want to give these a try. Radox Muscle Relax Bath Salts With Peppermint Scent are available as 1kg for about £4.99. I paid £2.25.
