Over the spring, I used up several beauty, skin-care, and hair-care products as I am slowly making my way through the products and sample products. In this post, I review the 'empties' (the products) so that I can look back on them and decide if I would like to re-purchase any of them in the future and decide what worked for me and what did not. Read below to see what I have used up and how I got along with it.
Clinique 'Take the Day Off' Makeup Remover: Going back ten years ago, I used to use Clinique products and their three-in-one skin care. I also bought their make-up remover. A few years ago, I discovered that their products were hard on my skin, and I had several break-outs after using their three-in-one formula. I had this make-up remover to use, and I finally got through it. The product was oily and not the friendliest on my eye area as it stung. Would I buy it again? Definitely not.
Bath & Body Works Fragrance Mist in 'Champagne Apple & Honey': One of the autumn fragrances from one of my favourite bath and body companies, this is a refreshing sweet apple scent. It also added a gold shimmer to skin. Would I buy it again? Yes, I enjoyed the scent.
Juicy Bottle Mask in 'shea butter': This mask contains shea butter to help moisturise skin, and it comes in a cute package shaped like a bottle. There was also more than enough product. Would I buy it again? The product was ok, but I would not buy it again.
Skin Milk Bomb Mask in 'chocolate': This mask comes in a cute milk carton package and smells like chocolate milk; it actually contains milk product, which helps to moisturise skin. Would I buy it again? The scent brought me back to my childhood school days, and it did make skin feel softer, but I would not buy it again.
Hair Vitamins by Hairflick: These were edible vegan chews that promised to help hair and nails grow quicker. I did not see any additional growth using them, but it is probably difficult to see on a sample size. My hair and nails grow quickly anyway. Would I buy it again? No, it did not appeal to me.
Grow Gorgeous hair and scalp mask: A thick tub of hair mask lasted me three uses, and it did soften and moisturise my hair. It was a deep treatment. Would I buy it again? I would consider it, but I use alternative and cheaper products that do a decent job.
DKNY 'Be Delicious': One of my favourite scents of perfume, this is the less formal scent of the different apple fragrances. I enjoy the scent, but unfortunately, it isn't a long-lasting perfume. Would I buy it again? Unfortunately, the perfume isn't as long-lasting as I'd like. I may buy it again.
Baker7 (BK7) Candy Lip Tint in 'red orange': This red-orange lip stain comes from Japan beauty company Baker7 and is shaped like a lollipop. Would I buy it again? No, I found the colour too dark and a little bit uneven. It's a cute product, but it's not for me.
Victoria Secret lip gloss in 'pink lemonade': This pink high-shine gloss is in a bright pink shade and tastes just like pink lemonade. Would I buy it again? The glosses from Victoria Secret are extremely sticky and tend to stick to my hair. Because of this, I'd be less keen to buy a high sticky gloss.
ThisWorks deep sleep pillow spray: This pillow spray smells of lavender, which helps to calm and promote sleep. Would I buy it again? I would love it if this worked, but the scent does not linger long. I would not buy it.
Benefit 'It's Potent!' eye cream: This eye cream helps keep under-eyes moisturised and activate the area under the eye to hide bags. Would I buy it again? This is probably one of the better eye creams, and I would purchase it if I needed it.
Boots sheet face mask 'charcoal and willow bark': This face mask uses charcoal to help remove skin impurities and help clear pores. Would I buy it again? Yes, this was a good product and seemed to clear my skin.
7th Heaven Charcoal Mud mask: This mud mask purifies skin and prevents blemishes. Would I buy it again? Yes, I enjoyed this product.
Bath & Body Works Hand Soap in 'Pumpkin Cupcake': This hand soap is one of the autumn offerings of the fragrance, and I finished it up at the start of spring. It does smell like a pumpkin cupcake. Would I buy it again? I enjoy these hand soaps, but this was not my favourite scent, so I'd look for another scent.
Bath & Body Works Shower Gel in 'Frosted Coconut Snowball': This shower gel is one of the winter scents, and it is a sweet smell. Would I buy it again? Yes, but I am not too bothered about this scent.
The Organic Pharmacy Marigold and Comfrey Hand and Nail Cream: This is a hand and nail cream with a gorgeous scent that applies thinly and soaks into skin to moisturise it. Would I buy it again? I enjoyed the product and the scent, so it would be one that I'd buy again if I needed to.
The Body Shop body lotion in 'cassis rose': This body lotion smells like rose. The lotion is not too thick and mainly absorbs into the skin with a heavy rose scent. Would I buy it again? This is one that I may buy again, but I have other products to use up and it's not my most favourite.
Charlotte Tilbury Wonderglow (primer): This foundation primer helps create a glow to skin to give a flawless look. The primer is slightly pigmented with shimmer. Would I buy it again? I probably would not purchase it at this stage, but the product is ok.
