Product Empties #50

Wow, it’s my 50^th edition of this blog series and the only one I strictly try and stick to! I get my empties together around every 2-3 months and these posts are my favourite to put together! I did my first one back in 2015 (linked here if you want a blast from the past) and funnily enough there are a couple of products I still repurchase including a product that is included in today’s post! 

 

Bodycare

Naturium The Glow Getter Multi-Oil Body Wash

This deserves the hype it gets, it’s gentle, contains 50% glycerin, a blend of oils and squalane. It creates a light lather and leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated! Wish it had a scent but would repurchase!

 

Rituals The Ritual of Sakura Foaming Shower Gel

Love this formula, it feels so luxurious and smells so good! A little goes a long way as just a tiny pump of gel expands into foam and it leaves my skin feeling soft and clean! Would repurchase!

 

Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion

A go to for me mainly in the winter and it sinks in quickly and works well to hydrate my skin all day long! It’s fragrance free so I do interchange between this and a few other scented ones as I get bored of it but a great staple and one I will repurchase! Read more in this post about my Accutane bodycare recommendations!

 

Eucerin Complete Repair Plus Moisturizing Lotion

Another classic and regular repurchase for me! This is great to have to hand for any stubborn dry patches or eczema! Fragrance free and a little more work to rub in than the Aveeno but a repurchase for sure!  

 

Maelys B-Flex Lift & Firm Arm Cream RRP $64*

Really enjoyed this to target my arms especially before my holiday. It contains Red Algae and Kangaroo Paw Flower Extract for a tighter and smoother appearance and creates a warming sensation as you rub in. I definitely noticed my arms looked and felt smoother and tighter with regular use. It’s coloured purple so I did get some stains on my bedding but I would recommend this in the run up to an event/vacation etc when you want to feel your best! Not a repurchase for me right now.

 

L’Occitane Amande Huile de Douche Shower Oil

So glad I finally got to try this! It felt luxurious and my skin felt soft after use but the scent isn’t my favourite and it’s expensive! I have another mini to try but not a repurchase for me right now!

 

OUAI Scalp and Body Scrub

Not the most gritty scrub out there and I find this hard to spread when I use it in my scalp! The Melrose Place scent is divine and I am a OUAI fangirl but this isn’t a repurchase for me!

 

Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream

I’ve lost count of how many of these I have gone through! Smells amazing, absorbs quickly, and hydrates my body, I love it! Again, I find it pricey so I try to look out for it in sets before I repurchase but I already have a backup of it!

 

Sol de Janeiro Samba Foot Fetish Cream

Enjoyed this foot cream, it absorbed well but it changed colour and scent before its expiry date so not a repurchase for me!

 

Nivea Q10 3 in 1 Anti-Age Hand Cream

Obsessed with this hand cream, I’ll go as far as to say it’s my favourite. Smells so fresh and clean, absorbs quickly and most importantly, keeps my hands soft and smooth. Already have two backups.

 

Burt’s Bees Moisturizing Hand Cream*

This is a much thicker cream than the Nivea so takes longer to sink in. It took me longer to finish too as I just used it before bed but once I started concentrating on using it up I can see it works just as well as the Nivea at keeping my hands soft and smooth but the fact it takes longer to absorb and there is no scent means it’s not a repurchase for me!  

 

Clarins Hand and Nail Treatment Cream

Another great option to keep hands soft and hydrated. This one also sank in quickly and has an interesting scent. Not my favourite as it’s a little old fashioned but it’s not the worst either! This is expensive though so not a repurchase for me!  

 

First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub

Loved this! It’s really scrubby and worked well to keep my skin smooth and target KP. I have another mini to use but I would repurchase.

 

Nivea Soft Moisturising Cream

This is the product that was also included in my very first empties which I linked at the start of this post! I always go back to this, I am obsessed with the Nivea scent and this is such a great light body moisturiser. Will repurchase! 

 

Necessaire The Body Serum

I was happy to have a mini of this for some extra TLC on my chest area this summer. It’s a Hyaluronic Acid treatment that’s a gel formula and it absorbs into the body quickly. It’s formulated with 5 molecular weights of Hyaluronic Acid as well as Niacinamide and Ceramide NP. It feels luxe to use and I enjoyed it but it’s out of my price range so not a repurchase right now.

Haircare

TRESemme Volumizing Dry Shampoo

Great budget option. I have gone through multiple of these. Definitely doesn’t soak up as much oil as the Living Proof one but this is often on offer and I’m happy with the extra day it gives me out of my hair! Will repurchase!

 

Schwarzkopf got2b Instant Refresh Dry Shampoo

Another great budget option and similarly, doesn’t make my hair feel as clean as the LP but for the price I will repurchase!

 

Living Proof PhD Dry Shampoo

Love this dry shampoo! It leaves no white cast, absorbs easily giving me an extra day or two out of my greasy hair and actually makes it look clean. Worth the money but I try to bulk buy when on offer/in a set! Already have a back up!

 

Living Proof Full Shampoo and Conditioner

Enjoyed this duo. Cleansed my hair well and though I have fine hair, I felt it looked fuller. Would repurchase if I saw on offer as I love their dry shampoos and triple bond complex! 

 

Living Proof Triple Bond Complex

Love this, it’s my favourite hair treatment and I prefer it as a repair treatment to Olaplex! It’s a weekly treatment that you apply to damp hair after washing and leave in - it works to construct new bonds within the hair to help strengthen it as well as heat protect it up to 232˚C and the look of split ends are visibly reduced. I leaves my hair smooth and manageable and I have noticed my ends looking healthier with less split ends even when my hair is overdue a trim! Read my full review here!

 

JVN Deep Moisture Mask

Enjoyed this mask. It left my hair hydrated and I enjoyed the rich scent. Would repurchase!

 

JVN Complete Air Dry Cream

This smoothed my hair and gave good shine. I used it mainly on damp hair but it doesn’t offer heat protection so not a repurchase for me as I use heat on my hair! 

 

Skincare

Nivea Double Effect Waterproof Eye Make-Up Remover

Probably my number one most repurchased skincare product! This is the best eye makeup remover available hands down! So gentle, removes waterproof mascara easily and doesn’t dry my eye area out! Have about 3 back-ups already!

 

Then I Met You Living Cleansing Balm

Loved this cleanser! It’s got a rich, luxurious balm texture and a beautiful citrus scent. It contains plant oils, olive oil and grapeseed oil as well as persimmon and Vitamin E. I don’t feel like I need to use that much of this to cleanse and it removes makeup easily and leaves my skin feeling nourished and clean! Would repurchase! Read my full review here! 

 

Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment

I liked this for winter as it’s one of the more thicker eye creams I own but if my skin is in any way wet from other products when I use it, it refuses to sink in. I didn’t get any milia from using this but it’s not the best texture I have used. Not a repurchase!

 

Biotherm Life Plankton Elixir RRP $109*

Loved this serum! It’s a beautiful hydrating and soothing serum that contains glycerin, life plankton and Vitamin C. It’s also scented and I am obsessed with the smell – so fresh and “blue” and it really adds to the experience for me. This makes my skin feel hydrated and supported and it looks brighter and feels smoother! I notice my fine lines less and I would repurchase on a good offer! Read my full review here!   

 

MONUskin Extra Rich Night Cream

This contains a blend of Royal Jelly, Vitamin A and Evening Primrose Oil and worked well to support and hydrate my skin overnight. It was a thick cream but sank in well though I have other night creams I prefer so not a repurchase for me! 

 

Skinceuticals Retexturising Activator RRP $112*

I didn’t want to because of the price but I loved this serum! As well as being hydrating it made my skin feel and look so smooth. It contains 25% Hydroxyethyl Urea, Kombucha as well as glycerin and hyaluronic acid and was gentle to use despite having the resurfacing power of daily 20% glycolic acid treatment. I used this daily and my skin looked brighter and my skin barrier felt strong. Not a repurchase for me right now due to price only but I would love to if I found a good sale! 

 

Murad Rapid Dark Spot Correcting Serum

Nice serum but didn’t use it long enough to see much difference. Would consider a purchase as I love a lot of Murad products but would probably go with the Vita C Glycolic Serum! See my in-depth Murad review here!

 

Glow Recipe Guava Vitamin C Dark Spot Serum

I haven’t loved anything I’ve tried from this brand but I enjoyed this serum! The formula sank in well and the smell wasn’t too overpowering. It wasn’t a big enough sample size for me to see any results though so not a repurchase!

 

Farmacy Honey Butter Beeswax Lip Balm

Loved this! Easy to pull out and reapply and gave me long lasting hydration and smooth lips with a subtle sheen! Not a repurchase as its $17 and I went through it so quickly! 

 

Makeup                

Urban Decay All Nighter Long Lasting Makeup Setting Spray*

I don’t see as much of a difference when I use this as I would like to and hear others seeing but I have a full size to use so will test it more! Not a repurchase as I prefer the Charlotte Tilbury setting mist!

 

Fenty Beauty Slip Shine Sheer Shiny Lipstick in 06 Retro Rose

Loved this lipstick! Easy to apply with or without a mirror, great my lips but better shade and despite having some slip to it, decent lasting power! Sad to be finished but I would repurchase! Though I have far too many other lip products to get through and I am eyeing the new Gloss bomb Stix High-Shine Gloss Stick! Read my full review of the Fenty Slip Shine Sheer Shiny Lipstick here!

 

Clarins Lip Comfort Hydrating Oil in 04 Pitaya and 08 Strawberry

Up there with the Fenty lip oil as my favourite formula, this feels silky and not sticky at all while lasting a surprisingly long time on my lips keeping them comfortable and hydrated for hours. It gives a beautiful shine, contains omega 6 and 9, rose oil and jojoba oil but the original is Honey shade is my favourite and I already have a backup of it so these shades aren’t a repurchase! Read my full review here!  

 

Miscellaneous

Organika Original Enhanced Collagen Protein

Switched to this Costco Collagen and I am loving it! Same results as before (I notice good results especially in my joints!) btu absorbs much easier! Have already repurchased!

 

Webbber Naturals All Greens Superfood

Another Costco purchase and this one was much sweeter than my previous greens powder but I think did the same job in allowing me some more nutrients in my diet lol. I went back to my original Greens powder as I felt I was cheating with the sweeter flavour but I will be repurchasing this one as its more palatable!

 

Crest 3D White Strips

Good for a quick fix before an event but not long lasting or that vibrant! I feel like I get similar results when I do a quick bicarb of soda brush so not a repurchase for me.

 

Well done if you made it to the end of the post! Let me know if you saw any of your favourites or anything you want to try! Bonus point if you tell me which product made an appearance in my very first empties post too!
