Welcome to my winter 2023-2024 and spring 2024 edition of empty products that I have used up. The purpose of this post is that I wanted to post products that I used up to help me remember which ones I would purchase again, and it may help others with deciding which products to purchase too.
H2K of Harrogate Sensual with Vitamin E Hydrating Conditioning shampoo: This shampoo had a citrus scent and conditions and cleans shampoo. Would I buy it again? No, it is a little bit expensive and I need colour-protecting shampoo.
Opatra nourishing day cream: I received a sample of day cream to test the nourishing of skin due to external factors . Would I buy it again? No, I just was not sold on the product.
Marks and Spencers Autograph nail polish: This nail polish is in a bright purple colour . Would I buy it again? No, I found that the nail polish was a little bit too thick.
Argan Smooth conditioner: Argan is rich in oil and good for hair conditioning, so I decided to give this a go. Would I buy it again? No, I did not find it as nourishing as I would have liked and prefer other brands of conditioner.
YSL long wear glow and YSL All hours foundation: Logn Wear Glow is a product that can be applied thinly or thickly and allows skin to breathe as well as protects from the sun. All Hours Foundation is a breathable and full-coverage product. The samples I arrived were not my skin tone, so it was a little difficult to test, but i did think the product was light-wearing and comfortable. Would I buy it again? I would love to try my shade and see how I get on with the product, but I would consider buying them.
Ayres body butter: This body butter is a nourishing cream that absorbs into the skin to make it feel moisturised . Would I buy it again? No, I don't tend to use body butter, but there was nothing wrong with the product.
No7 Stay Perfect nail polish in 'taffetta': This is a candy-apple coloured nail polish that applies well but did not last as it would easily rub off. Would I buy it again? I have purchased this brand before, but it isn't the longest-lasting as it does rub off quickly.
Ren flash rinse minute facial: This facial product promises to restore radiance and reduce blemishes. Would I buy it again? I like this brand, and this did seem to clear my skin, so I would consider buying it again.
7th Heaven white chocolate fondue facial: This brand produces different facial cleansers, and this one smelled like white chocolate. Would I buy it again? I like this brand, and this one smelled good and seemed to leave my skin feeling soft.
Aveeno daily moisturising lotion: This moisturising lotion is absorbed into the skin and makes it feel soft. Would I buy it again? No, although there was nothing wrong with the product. I just don't need it.
Welda Pomegranate firming day cream: This day cream promises to reduce fine lines and give skin a glow, and it is made from organic products such as pomegranate seeds. Would I buy it again? No, I did not like the feeling of the product and found that it was not absorbed into my skin.
Blistex lip infusions: This is a chapstick that helps to moisturise dry lips. Would I buy it again? Yes, this was perfect for winter and helped my lips.
Clinique anti-blemish: This anti-blemish solution dries out acne when placed on it, but it does dry out the area of skin. Would I buy it again? No, this was harmful to my skin and created more issues when used. In the past several years, I went off this brand.
Burt's Bees deep cleansing cream: This hand cream is absorbed into the skin and helps to keep it moisturised. Would I buy it again? This was a good brand and did help my dry skin in the winter.
Molton Brown lip moisturiser: I received a few travel-sizes of coloured lip moisturisers, and this one was an orange shade. The products help moisturise lips as well as leaving colour, so I used this one in the winter. Would I buy it again? No as there are similar better products, and the small size makes it difficult to remove the product.
Sephora pineapple face mask: This is a sheet face mask with a pineapple scent that promises to hydrate skin. Would I buy it again? No, I did not feel or see any difference.
Bath and Body Works hand sanitizer in 'cococabana': This hand sanitiser came in a travel size, and it smelled like coconut. Would I buy it again? Yes, I like the brand, and these compact sizes are perfect to carry around.
The Body Shop grapefruit shower gel: This shower gel smells like grapefruit, which was uplifting when using. Would I buy it again? Yes, I like the brand, and it smells like grapefruit.
British rose body lotion: I received this body lotion in a gift set, and it does smell like roses. Would I buy it again? No, I do not use body lotion often, and it didn't absorb into my skin.
Benefit highlighter makeup: This sample of the highlighter formula was dried out, so did not get to see it, but it comes in a little tube with a brush. Would I buy it again? No, it dries out too soon and comes with an applicator that is too difficult to use, meaning most product is difficult to get to in the package.
Angel Mugler perfume: I received a sample of this very sophisticated and floral scent. Would I buy it again? Yes, I loved the scent.
Crayon Touch Me Up Gloss in 'Shiny Orange': This is a subtle orange shade of lip gloss that can be worn on its own or on top of another colour to give shine, but the colour faded to a yellow shade very quickly. Would I buy it again? No, this was a waste of money and a poor product.
Bath & Body Works Mahogany Apple hand soap: This hand soap was perfect for the autumn and winter months as it smelled like fresh apple, but this was more of a grown-up scent compared to Farmstand Apple, which was a fruitier and fresher scent. Would I buy it again? Yes, I loved the scent and brand.
Lush Berry Berry Christmas shower gel: This is a fruity and festive scent for the shower, and it smelled of frosted cranberry. Would I buy it again? Yes, I loved the scent and brand.
Elemis hand lotion: This hand lotion is absorbed into the skin and smells just like a spa. Would I buy it again? I like the brand, though I do not need lotion.
BalanceMe Gradual Tanning Drops: These gradual tanning drops promise to add colour to skin gradually over use. Would I buy it again? No, this was awful. The product gave my skin stains or streaks of a yellow colour.
Santuary Spa Signature collection body scrub: This body scrub was an orange-scented scrub that left skin feeling soft and exfoliated. Would I buy it again? Yes, the product was good.
Trene Forte night cream: This night cream helps moisturise and hydrate skin at night while asleep and is lightly-fragranced. Would I buy it again? No, I was not sold on the product.
