I am
going to share with you some products that I have used up over a period of time
and tell you a bit about them and whether I liked them and whether I will
re-purchase them or not. These were not used up in one month, but over several,
but I’ll try and do monthly ones. In no particular order.....
bliss Blood Orange + White Pepper Body Butter
– 50ml
I
received this in a glossybox and it is the 50ml travel size and it smells
really lovely. I don’t like orange scents, but this smelt really nice. It is
paraben free and it really makes your body feel moisturised and the scent makes
you feel clean. I used it on my arms and legs mostly. I really liked using this
product, but I wouldn’t re-purchase it because I have three full size Soap
& Glory body butters to use up and my favourite is Soap & Glory The
Daily Smooth Body Butter, but if I ever fancy a change this one would be my
first choice, maybe in the Lemon + Sage scent!
LUSH Snow Fairy Shower Gel – 250g
This
product is only on sale at Christmas time and the nearest LUSH to me is an hour
away so I ordered it off eBay because I kept reading raves about it, so I had
to have it. It didn’t smell amazing or special at all and I don’t like the
scent, it smelt too artificial, but I did use it up and it did lather really
well, it looked really nice in the bottle, but I will not re-purchase it, but
hey, it was vegan!
CAUDALIE Vinosource S.O.S Thirst Quenching
Serum – 10ml
I also
received this product in a glossybox and it is the 10ml sample size. This
smells amazing and I used it at night and in the morning everyday under my
regular moisturiser. A serum is a moisturiser, but it goes deeper into the
skin. It did make my face feel more moisturised, but I wouldn’t say it made a
huge difference and I wouldn’t say I really need to use a serum yet. I will not
re-purchase this because it is too expensive and I don’t really need a serum or
see the difference, plus I was going to try the Soap & Glory one, just so I
had one to use, but if you don’t really need it a basic moisturiser should do
the job.
Murad Skin Perfecting Dewy Finish Face Primer
– 5ml
This
too came from a glossybox and it is a 5ml sample size, the full size is 30ml. The
actual product is an orange/brown colour and looks like foundation, but a lot
thinner in consistency. It says you could wear it alone, but there’s no way I
would! When you blend it into the skin, the colour disappears, so no coverage
for wearing alone. Also my foundation didn’t really last any longer, nor did my
pores look smaller and I couldn’t see a dewy finish. Maybe it wasn’t the right
type for my skin, but I think the product was too thin and dry, which mean’t it
didn’t blend very far. I wouldn’t re-purchase this because, it is way too
expensive for what it is and I don’t feel it did anything for me, but I’m glad
I got the chance to try it, as it is an expensive brand.
Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder – 14g
I bought
this is the shade 001 Transparent and it was the first powder I had ever used
and it is my favourite and definitely keeps me matte all day. I have already
re-purchased and will probably continue to for months to come.
Ayuuri Natural Coconut Body Wash – 200ml
I got
this product in a Glossybox and it smells really nice to say it is coconut. I
don’t like the coconut scent, but I do really like this body wash, as the
coconut is not overpowering and it lathers really well too. Although I like it
I probably wouldn’t re-purchase it because I would have to do it online, plus I
am already in love with a different shower gel.
Clean & Clear Blackhead Clearing Cleanser
– 200ml
I got
this because I had a different one before, and I wanted one that had a
property, such as, blackhead clearing and it needed to be oil free. I thought
it would help my cheek/nose area, because that’s where my pores tend to get
clogged the most. Since using it I haven't really noticed a difference, but I
have recently found, that if you have oily skin you shouldn’t cut oily products
out altogether, as it can be bad for your skin. So since I finished this
cleanser, I decided that my ‘oily’ product should be a new cleanser. Therefore
I will not re-purchase this product, unless I really don’t like the new one I
am currently using.
KK Toiletries Classics Nail Polish Remover –
250ml
This is
just a basic cheap nail polish remover. It does work quite well, but glitter
polish is still a struggle. I will continue purchasing this because it is
reliable and cheap and it is not really a type of product I want to “invest”
in.
Katie Price Stunning Luxurious Foaming Bath
Gel – 150ml
I got
this in a gift set and it smells exactly like the perfume. It lathers really
well and smells amazing. I wouldn’t buy it again, because I can only find it
online and there are a lot of great smelling body washes that are in stores and
cheaper.
NOBLE ISLE Summer Rising Cornish Hedgerows
Bath & Shower Gel – 75ml
I got
this in a beauty box and it is a sample size. I really like it, and it lathers
really well and smells really amazing. It reminds me of a Lion King perfume I had when I was younger. I wouldn’t
re-purchase, because it is only available to me online and I already have a
favourite body wash, which will probably be the only one I use, unless I have
samples to use up!
APIVITA Express Beauty Revitalizing Mask with
Orange – 8ml
I
received two sachets of this in a beauty box and they are full size. Me and my
sister decided to try them out, so I have only tried it once. The weird thing
about this product is that you can only buy them in sachets of two, so they
only last two applications, which is annoying for people that like the product.
The cream smells amazing and there are little orange zest pieces in them. You
have it on for ten minutes and I could feel it working straight away and it
felt cooling and the sensation was similar to a plumping lipgloss, but it’s on
your face. When my sister first put it on, she said it felt like it was
stinging her face, but she left it a bit longer to see if the sensation
continued. We waited the whole ten minutes and then rinsed it off. It took a
while to rinse off because there was so much product in one sachet, but your
mean’t to use it all, so we did. My sister (dry skin) said her face didn’t
really feel any different, apart from she thinks it was slightly smoother to
touch. The results for me (oily skin) were the same as my sisters really, but
my forehead felt smoother and my skin appeared brighter. Overall the effects
for us were not life changing, so I will not repurchase this type again, but
there are other fruits with different properties I can have a look at, if I
wanted to.
Soap & Glory The Breakfast Scrub – 300ml
I got
this is in a gift set from the after Christmas sale at Boots. And I only bought
the set because it came in a cute storage tin and it had an apron in it. You
also got a Hand Food Hand Cream and this scrub. It smells really yummy and I
use it on my legs so they feel really smooth. When you rinse it off, it looks
like milk dripping off your legs. I really love this scrub and I bought two
sets so I’ve just finished this one and I already have a backup. It is not sold
at my Boots, so I will have to order it online, but I’ve already decided to try
a different one in a sample size from Soap & Glory because it has Mist You
Madly as it’s scent and that is by far my favourite S&P scent! But if that
one doesn’t work as well, I will continue to use the Breakfast Scrub instead.
Soap & Glory Peaches & Clean Deep
Cleansing Milk – 200ml
This is
my favourite night cleanser/face wash at the moment and it smells lovely. I
have already re-purchased and will continue to.
Clean & Clear Dual Action Moisturiser –
100ml
I tried
this out and it definitely moisturised my face, but I don’t really know if it
helped prevent spots and blemishes, because I get them anyway, but not all the
time. I am currently using a different moisturiser, but I may re-purchase this
if my other one doesn’t work as well.
Dove Invisible Dry Deodorant – 250ml
I have
been using this for a long time and it is my favourite and I tend to stock up
when it is on offer.
Morrisons Daily Care Mouthwash in Cool Mint –
500ml
This
was my second bottle and it works and is inexpensive.
49p – no link can be
found!
Soap & Glory Mist You Madly Body Spray –
100ml
This is
my favourite body spray/mist and my favourite scent from Soap & Glory. I
have had this bottle since about September last year and I also used it as a
room mist. I already have a back-up in the bigger size, from Christmas last
year.
