This month, for the first time ever, I've managed to use up just skincare products, how strange is that?! Here are my January Empties and my thoughts about whether I'll be repurchasing any of these again in the future.
Evolve Organic Beauty Daily Defence Moisture Mist* (reviewed here)
Hydrating mists are a firm staple in my skincare routine and I absolutely loved this one from Evolve. It contains the likes of Hyaluronic Acid and Moringa Peptides which help to lock in moisture and protect the skin from the elements, including everyday pollution. Loved using it in the mornings and whenever I needed a quick refresh. Repurchase? Definitely.
Aveda Botanical Kinetics Exfoliant (reviewed here)
I've gone through a couple of bottles of this over the years and it still works very well for me. It's basically a liquid exfoliating toner/treatment that helps to shift dull dead skin cells for a brighter and more even complexion. Similar to PIXI Glow Tonic, but uses Salicylic Acid instead of Glycolic. Repurchase? Yes.
Antipodes Hosanna H20 Intensive Skin-Plumping Serum* (reviewed here)
If you have oily or combination skin and are struggling to find an oil-free hydrating serum, I highly recommend picking up this one from Antipodes. Hosanna H20 is one of my favourite products to add to my Winter skincare routine every year, as it makes a massive difference to my skin, yet absorbs quickly and feels super lightweight. Love it! Repurchase? Yes.
Temple Spa Trufflesque Ultra Hydration & Radiance Masque* (reviewed here)
Although I enjoyed using this face mask, I've come to the conclusion that it's incredibly expensive for what it is, and that I have lots of other hydrating/radiance masks in my skincare stash that I love a lot more. If you have the cash to splash that's great, but personally, I'd say save your pennies and buy something cheaper that does the job just as well, if not better. Repurchase? No.
Samaya Anti-Ageing Treatment Oil Kapha* (reviewed here)
One product that I feel is worth the money, but is still very pricey, is this beautiful face oil from the Ayurvedic skincare brand, Samaya. I almost cried when I finished this! It's my second bottle and this stuff literally makes my skin look so beautiful and glowy whenever I use it. I did find it a little heavy to use during the Summer months though, so it's definitely more of an Autumn/Winter treat. Repurchase? Sadly out of my price bracket at the moment!
White Rabbit Chamomile & Carrot Seed Eye Cream
A lot of people have recommended White Rabbit to me, so I decided to purchase this eye cream a couple of months ago to try out. It's very hydrating which is perfect for my dry under eyes and I mainly used it in my nighttime routine for this purpose, but I felt like it didn't do anything else for me. Repurchase? Probably not.
Living Nature Firming Eye Cream* (reviewed here)
This eye cream, on the other hand, gave me a lot more bang for my buck as it hydrates and does an excellent job of firming everything up, plus it perfectly smoothes out any fine lines and wrinkles. I think this is my second tube and I'll be sure to cut it open tonight to get the last bit out! Repurchase? Yes.
