I've been saving up my skin care, makeup, hair care and body
product empties for the last month or so and here are my thoughts and whether I
would repurchase! Quite a lot to get through so I'll try and keep it short and
sweet!
Body
Bliss Fat Girl Slim
60ml
I got this in the Look Fantastic beauty box a few months ago
and found it to be very liquidy – anyone else have this problem or it that what
it’s meant to be like? Nice minty scent but unfortunately can't say I've
noticed a difference on the area I applied it! Wouldn't repurchase!
Soap and Glory Flake
Away Body Polish 300ml
This smells divine but if you are looking a scrub I highly
recommend the Soap and Glory Pulp Friction over this, it's a bitch to clean out
of the bath! I always get this in the sets they do at Christmas but would never
buy it on its own!
Aussie Fresh Mate
Body Wash 250ml
Picked this up on offer one day when it first came out and
really enjoyed using it. Like the name says, it smells nice and fresh and like
the Aussie shampoo it has an almost jelly texture. Would repurchase :)
Nivea Soft Moisturising
Cream 300ml
I love this moisturising cream! It smells so fresh and clean
and absorbs so quickly moisturising really well without leaving you feeling
tacky. Already repurchased :)
Makeup
Revlon Colourstay
Makeup for Oily/Combination skin in the shade Buff 30ml
This is a constant repurchase for me, full coverage
foundation at a reasonable price (esp when on offer in Boots or Superdrug).
Already repurchased and using :)
No7 Translucent
Perfect Light Pressed Powder
Again I've mentioned this in previous posts but this is one
of my favourite powders for mattifying my skin! I love the fact I don't have to
reapply or touch up during the day and I'm confident I won't get shiny. Best to
buy when No7 has their £3 off vouchers going. Again already repurchased :)
Skincare
Liz Earle Cleanse and
Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser 30ml
I got this in a beauty box ages ago and only opened it
recently, found it to be a lot drier in texture than I thought it would be so I
used a lot of product each time I used it. Had a nice fresh scent and removed
my makeup well but I got through this so quickly I'm not sure if it would be
worth the money when there are other cleansers I like that last longer and are
cheaper! Haven't repurchased but would in the future!
The Body Shop
Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil 200ml
Speaking of cleansers that last a long time and are reasonably
priced, this one from The Body Shop is just that! One pump does my whole face
and neck and leaves it feeling super soft too. I haven't repurchased just yet
because I have a few other cleansers I want to try but will definitely be
making a repurchase in the near future :)
Eucerin Even Brighter
Day Cream 50ml
I have quite bad pigmentation on my skin from acne scarring
so got recommended this by the nurse. I actually used this at night even
through it’s a day cream because it's so rich. I found it moisturised well but
I didn't notice a big difference in the colouring of my pigmentation so for
that reason I won't be repurchasing (although I do have a night cream to get
through in the same brand!)
La Roche-Posay
Effaclar Astringent Lotion Micro-Exfoliant 200ml
I'm completely on the fence with this one, I used it like a
toner so after I cleansed and before I moisturised but can't say I saw any difference
and easily replaced it in my routine with something different. Won't be
repurchasing!
Haircare
L’oreal Hot and
Smooth Hot Straight Spray 200ml
When it comes to heat protectant I'm not loyal, this was a
nice spray and it did the job but I will probably try something different next
time!
L’oreal Elvive Fibrology
Thickening Shampoo 400ml
Really like this shampoo it smells so good and doesn't weigh
my hair down. However I can't say I noticed much thickening action but that's
probably because I straighten the shit out of my poor hair so flatten any
volume down! I would repurchase :)
Misc
Boots Sterile Saline 100ml
I thought I would include this as I wear monthlies every day
(which I get from Specsavers) and I always run out of saline solution before my
three month supply is up! I ran out of this extra bottle I bought too so had to
repurchase (and I got the bigger size to be sure this time). Anyone else have
this problem?
Apologies for this post being so long; I won’t let my
empties pile up so much next time! Thanks for reading J
I like the sounds of that cleansing oil from The Body Shop! I have their chamomile eye makeup remover and I love it!

Thank you Rachel! It was definitely a longer post than I meant for it to be! Xx
DeleteGreat post! I love Revlon colourstay also, I get bored of repurchasing it and try something new but always end up going back to it haha! Such great value for money!

It has such good coverage doesn't it! I always go back to it too even if it is so thick I have to keep it standing upside down! Xx
DeleteThat No7 powder is my holy grail because I get such an oil t-zone. You're the first person I've come across that also uses it!
