This post looks back on the beauty, skin-care, and hair-care products that I have used up in the past few months, and it has been a little while since I posted one of these posts. This post acts as a review of the products that I have used so that I can look back on them and decide if I would like to re-purchase any of those items. The products listed below have been used up from the begining of autumn. I was not actually using many make-up products as I had worked from home a lot.
Bath and Body Works Cucumber Melon Shower Gel: This was my favourite scent from American store Bath and Body Works, and I picked it up a few years ago when they brought the scent back for awhile. I love cucumber melon as it smells so fresh and summery. Would I buy it again? I would buy this scent again in a heartbeat.
Molton Brown Jasmine and Sun Rose Bath and Shower Gel: I love Molton Brown soaps, and this is a beautiful warming and grown-up scent that I think would appeal to both men and women. Would I buy it again? I would purchase this again for the winter months.
Natural Bodywash in 'Relaxing Geranium and Peppermint': This natural product is good for skin without harmful chemicals and smells like geranium and peppermint and is a refreshing smell. I cannot fault the smell at all, but this product did not lather up much. Would I buy it again? I fell in love with the scent, but the product does not lather up, so I would not purchase it.
Chloé Perfume: This rose-scented perfume is long-lasting and a firm favourite of mine. Would I buy it again? Yes, I love it.
Tommy Girl Perfume: This is an active-use perfume perfect for pre-workout or post-workout. However, it doesn't have much longevity. Would I buy it again? I got this in a set as a gift, but I would not purchase it again simply because there are other perfumes that I enjoy more.
Black Magic Mascara 'drama and curl': This little tube of mascara lasts a long while and is easy to apply and is water-proof. I loved it, and I loved the fact that it is in a tube instead of a plastic roll with a great applicator wand to help darken lashes without smudges. Would I buy it again? Yes, it's one of the best mascaras that I have used and didn't dry out of clump up.
ESPA Overnight Hydration Therapy: This cream promises to help moisturise skin overnight. It did make my skin feel a little bit softer, but it felt greasy on my skin overnight. Would I buy it again? No, although it did seem to make my skin feel softer, I did not like the way it made my skin feel greasy when it was applied overnight.
Kiehls Midnight Recovery Concentrate: This oily liquid should be applied overnight to help skin gain a more youthful glow. Would I buy it again? No, I did not really notice any different and it was very oily.
Mane 'n Tail Shampoo and Conditioner: This shampoo promises to clean and add shine to hair, and it did make it silky soft too. Would I buy it again? Yes, I felt that the product worked but the sample was not enough to really gage if it did, so I'd like to try a full size.
My Little Beauty Masque Réparteur (for hair): This is a hair mask that helps to deep-condition hair and leave it smooth and soft. Would I buy it again? Yes, but My Little Beauty no longer have products in London.
SkinPep Anti-Aging 12-hour Defense Serum: This serum helps protect the skin from harmful sun, and it doubles as a primer too. Would I buy it again? No. This product was a little too runny and doesn't beat some similar products I have tried.
Smashbox photo finish foundation primer: This primer helps to create flawless foundation, which produce better portrait photographs and selfies. Would I buy it again? Yes, I did like the results of the product as it was thick enough to help create the buffer between skin and foundation.
Beauty Pro Detoxifying bubbling cleansing mask: This facial mask contains charcoal, which helps to clear the skin's impurities. Would I buy it again? No, I'd rather use cleaning products with charcoal, and I find these cloth masks too fiddly.
Superdrug sugar and spice self-heating mask: This self-heating mask helps to clear skin impurities. Would I buy it again? Yes, I enjoy the masks from Superdrug.
Collection 2000 Glam Crystals in blue: I love this range of sparkly eye liner, which I use on my lashes and have had several compliments about. Unfortunately, this one dried up a little bit before I could finish using it all. Would I buy it again? Yes.
Trifle Cosmetics in Praline Palette: This was a selection of eye shadows with five shades in brown, purple, deep red, silver/grey, and a shimmery gold. Would I buy it again? No, I don't think all of the colours particularly worked for me, but I would buy the brand again.
Rimmel 60 Seconds in 'magnetise' nail polish: This is a purple nail polish that is applied thinly with colour and can be built up to increase the intensity of the colour. Would I buy it again? No, it took too many coats of colour before I was happy with the outcome.
Deborah Lippmann in 'stronger' nail polish: This glittery nail polish has flecks of blue and purple, and I found it perfect as a pick-me-up for January as it was highly glittery and shimmery. Would I buy it again? No; it took too long to dry and was a little too high maintenance for me.
