July Empties / Products I've Used Up

It's Empties time again!  I have another box full this month, but again they're mostly sample/travel sizes:-

 Skincare

 Lush Tea Tree Water

This is my go-to HG toner of choice most days.  Fantastic if you're prone to breakouts and have oily skin like I do.

Repurchase?  Yes

Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser

Another HG product for me, works beautifully and is a great make-up remover to use in the evenings too.  

Repurchase?  Yes, already have a full size tube of this.

Dermalogica Multivitamin Thermafoliant

I've had this lying around for ages and finally decided to use it up.  It's an exfoliator that warms up on your skin.  It was nice to use and I like it, but not really enough to invest in a full size.

Repurchase?  Probably not.

Super by Dr Nicholas Perricone Bright Eyed Flawless Eye Treatment

This was a lovely eye cream that hydrated the eye area well, without ever feeling too heavy or greasy.

Repurchase?  Tempted!

Haircare

 Percy Reed Totally TLC Hydrating Mask

I liked this and a little went a long way, but there are other hair masks that I prefer a lot more than this one.

Repurchase? No.

Burt's Bees Super Shiny Shampoo and Conditioner

These two really surprised me because I've read so many mixed reviews.  I really liked them!  Wasn't keen on the scent that much, but they made my hair feel soft and look shinier than it usually does.   Plus they didn't irritate my sensitive scalp which is always a bonus.

Repurchase?  I have some other shampoos to try out at the moment but I'm sure I'll purchase full sizes of these in the future.

Bath & Body

 balance Me Super Moisturising Body Wash

I love this body wash, lovely formula and smells good too!

Repurchase?  Yes

Rituals Wai Wang Exfoliating Body Scrub

This was a nice scrub but I just didn't like the scent.

Repurchase? No.

NEOM Tranquility Organic Bath Oil

Loved using this, so relaxing!  Definitely one to try when you want a de-stressing soak in the bath.

Repurchase?  Very tempted to get the mini bath oil set at some point.

Mitchell and Peach English Growers Shower Wash

 Wasn't that impressed with this considering how much it retails for.  The formula is a bit too thin for my liking and the scent wasn't for me either.

Repurchase? No

Make-Up

Jane Iredale Tantasia

Received it in this month's Joliebox and was pleasantly surprised.  It looked quite scary and orange in the tube, but I gave it a go on my face and decolletage area before going on holiday, and it gave a really natural looking, healthy glow.  

Repurchase?   Maybe, I don't really use fake tan much, but if we have another rubbish 

British summer again next year, I'm sure I'll be buying this!

No7 Dual Protection Tinted Moisturiser with SPF 15 in Medium

Got this sample from a GWP goody bag a while ago.  It was OK colour wise, but a bit too heavy for my oily/combination skin.  Dry skin types may get on well with it much better though.

Repurchase? No.

Une Skin Glow Foundation sample

This gives a healthy, light coverage which I really liked, but it's one that I'd only use on good skin days because it is quite sheer.

Repurchase? Maybe if I saw it on offer.

Benefit Lemonaid

I've had this for nearly two years now and I'm finally throwing it out because it's started to separate.  Nearly used it all up though and it lasts such a long time.

Repurchase?  Probably not because I'm using the 

Bourjois Healthy Mix Correcting Concealer around my eyes instead now which

 is a lot cheaper.

The Body Shop Tinted Glow Enhancer

Another make-up item I'm throwing out because I've had it for ages.  It's nearly used up but has gone a bit gloopy.  This is like a liquid bronzer which you can also mix with your sunscreen or daily moisturiser to add a bit of a glow.

Repurchase? Probably not, I just didn't reach for it that often.

Handbag bits

Burt's Bees Thoroughly Therapeutic Hand Cream

Didn't like this much because I found the formula a little on the greasy side and really disliked the scent.  

Repurchase? No.

balance Me Hydrating Rose Otto Salve

I liked using this on my cuticles mainly and on my heels/elbows when they needed some TLC.

Repurchase?  Probably not as there are other balms/salves that I like more.
