January Empties

Sunday, 29 January 2012

Here are my beauty empties for this month and whether I would choose to repurchase them or not. The Body Shop Coconut Body Butter - Have used this for years and it's still a firm favourite of mine. Definitely one that I enjoy using in the colder months because it's so thick and moisturising. Repurchase? Yes. Crystal Spring Salt Of The Earth Deodorant Spray (review) - I made the switch to all natural deodorants about a year ago and have mostly been using this brand. It's fragrance free and works great, no problems at all! Repurchase? Yes. Cowshed Cow Pat Moisturising Hand Cream - Received this when it was free with a magazine and although I've liked other Cowshed products, I didn't think much of this. It wasn't particularly moisturising in my opinion. Repurchase? No. Ceteum SCR Gold Creme De Lite - From a Boudoir Prive box, this smelt awful like talcum powder or something! Didn't rate it much as a moisturiser either. Repurchase? No. Lush Glogg & Snow Fairy Shower Gels - I love these, they smell so good. Repurchase? If they bring them back this year, then yes!

Clinique Moisture Surge Tinted Moisturiser in Shade 03 - Really liked this, has more of a foundation formula than a traditional tinted moisturiser but it was really good and non-greasy for my oily/combo skin. Repurchase? Yes, will get a full size when my current foundation has run out. The Body Shop Nutriganics Smoothing Day Cream - Didn't like this much, don't think it's right for my skin. Repurchase? No. Burts Bees Honey Lip Balm - One of my all time favourite lip balms, like ever! I always end up going back to this and usually have a spare one around somewhere. Repurchase? Yes. Witch Concealer Stick - I do like this for covering blemishes but will probably try Collection 2000's Lasting Perfection next. Repurchase? Probably not. OPI Nail Envy Mini - Another product that I do like (review) but I've switched to using Trind for now. Repurchase? Maybe. Vinies Luminous Skin Mask - That face mask from Boudoir Prive. I thought it was OK but nothing amazing and the smell was a bit too off-putting for me. Swapped the other sample pot. Repurchase? No.

Have you used up any beauty products this month?

    I had that Body Shop moisturiser sample too, didn't like it at all, made my skin feel claggy :/
    I do reccommend the Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection concealer though, it's brilliant! :)
    Sadly I was going to do a Jna empites post but my mum chucked out my empty bottles etc without letting me know, never mind!

    I so love empties posts! I also love the body shop coconut body butter. I used but didn't love Vinies face mask (hated the smell but thankfully didn't have an allergic reaction like some) I have just finished a full size of Clinique Moisture Surge Tinted Moisturiser 03 and would definitely re-purchase. x

      It is hard, I generally alternate products so it probably looks like I use up loads but really a lot of these are travel/sample sizes x

      It definitely makes you spend less (well kind of...I still spend far too much on beauty stuff!) when you use up what you already have :) xx

    I love Burt's Bees... they never seem to disappoint. Another great product I have been using for my chapped lips is Maybelline's "Baby Lips".. it really does cure chapping!

    I am so bad at finishing products and I always feel so bad that a lot of my products go to waste!

    I actually bought the Burt Bees lip balm after all the rave and it is amazing!

      Snow Fairy is amazing, smells like candy floss! Lush usually bring it back every Xmas so hopefully you can try it then or have a browse on eBay? :) xxx
