You got to hand it to the beauty blogging community for probably being the only ones who can make a blog post out of trash and make keeping empty bottles for months seem perfectly normal! I have a few empties this time around, some are favourites while others I could probably live the rest of my life without.
Soap and Glory The Breakfast Scrub
I have raved about this scrub extensively here but I absolutely adore this scrub. It smells delicious and reminds me of pancakes, what's not to love?
Would I Repurchase? Yes
Toni & Guy Cleanse Dry Shampoo
I'm currently on the hunt for some of the best dry shampoos that I want to include in a post that I have been planing, so naturally I had to give this a go. But spoiler alert, this probably has to be one my favourites so far. It smells great, but most importantly leaves hair feeling cleaner in between washes.
Would I Repurchase? Yes, after I have trialled all the dry shampoos I have stocked up on!
Skinstiut Glycolic Scrub
Skinstiut was a brand I was introduced to by my dermatologist and since I have started using this I haven't stopped. It has to be one of the only face scrubs that my skin has ever responded well to, and as someone who suffers from blemishes this a god send. I'm thinking of doing some posts about skin care that is good for acne prone and congested skin, let me know if you would be interested!
Would I Repurchase? Yes, forever and ever.
MAC Studio Fix Powder in NW20
I briefly mentioned my love affair for this powder in my recent Mac haul post so I won't blabber about this too much, but this is the only powder I have repurchased.
Would I Repurchase? Yes, I already have!
Medik8 BetaCleanse Anti-Bacterial Exfoliating Foaming Wash
Another cleanser that I was introduced to from my dermatologist. This is great for problem skin as it contains Salicylic Acid and Tea Tree Oil. It has a great scent and I feel really works for my skin.
Would I Repurchase? Definitely!
Malin + Goetz Grapefruit Face Cleanser sample
I recieved this sample in one of my Mecca boxes and it isn't a product I would usually try as it isn't targeted towards my skin type. But in effort to clear out my samples I gave this a go. It has a pleasant scent and lathers into the skin pretty well but it doesn't suit my skin at all.
Would I Purchase? No
Maybelline Eyestudio Gel Liner
I have had this sitting in my drawer for quite some time and it's about time this was chucked. I don't like it, I don't think gel liner is my thing but I am giving a Stila one a go. This one dried out fairly quickly and didn't have great staying power on my lids.
Would I Repurchase? No
Grown Alchemist Rosa Damascena Acai and Pomegranate Intensive Body Cream
I started using this when my skin was in phase of having dry patches. It works pretty okay in that respect but I am not a fan of the scent. I personally enjoy lotions and body creams with a nice smell and this doesn't do it for me.
Would I Repurchase? Probably not
Origins Clear Improvement Charcoal Mask
This has to be one of my favourite face masks for congested skin. I won't say too much because I have a review coming up featuring this baby but lets just say that it is worth the hype.
Would I Repurchase? YES
Bioderma Crealine H20 micellar water
I probably mention this too much on my blog (see my review here and my comparison post here) but it truly is a great product, that is all.
Would I Repurchase? Yes
L'Occitane Shea Butter Dry Skin Hand Cream sample
Another sample that I recieved but from one of my Adore Beauty orders. I love hand creams and shea butter so I was excited to try this but sadly I am not impressed. Like my body creams, I like my hand creams to have a nice scent and this one I do not like at all. I will not buy the full tube.
Would I Purchase? No
John Frieda Root Awakening Shampoo and Conditioner
As someone that suffers from oily roots and dry ends (whilst having color treated hair) the pain of finding a good hair duo is bloody hard. I spotted this in Priceline and it seemed to address all my problems. It has weird peppermint scent that I can handle but I feel it still leaves my hair feeling oily after two days. With dry shampoo this is fine but on it's own not so much.
Would I Repurchase? Will have to try out other shampoo/conditioners before deciding
St Tropez Gradual Tan Moisturiser in Light/Medium
I believe I have mentioned how pale I am somewhere so some form of tanning product is pretty much a yearly staple for me (though in winter I can get away with pale pins yay!) I love St Tropez but I hated this. The smell is just yuk and for a gradual tan it's so orange and so streaky, I hated it.
Would I Repurchase? No way, didn't even finish the full bottle
Klorane Dry Shampoo with Nettle
Another dry shampoo I have been trialling so I won't give it all away but it does work really well.
Would I Repurchase? Undecided
What empties do you have lying around? Have you tried any of these?

Awesome empties! That skinstitut scrub sounds amazing! Wowza, sounds like it would be great for my skin too. I'd love to see a post on your fave prods for acne/congested skin! I really want to try the Breakfast scrub, gah it smells delish. I love the Clear Improvement mask - interesting to see the empty tube! Haha :)

I heard the Klorane dry shampoo with nettle isn't as good as the one with oat milk (my absolute favourite and forever repurchased). I'm using a different Grown body cream (Mandarin & Rosemary) and I actually really love it, including the scent. I super want to try the Origins Clear Improvement mask - my skin has been breaking out like crazy lately!
ReplyDeleteI'm currently using that dry shampoo and I'm loving it so far. I also have that body cream and I'm excited to try it out! Definitely give the mask a go, it has really helped when ever my skin felt super congested!

Looking forward to your review on the Origins Charcoal Mask! :)
ReplyDeleteShould be up real soon - as soon as I purchase a new tube ;)
DeleteJealous that you have soap & glory. My place, they don't have it and it upsets me because I really hear massive hype about it. Besides, the packaging is cute! Anyway, I'll try to hunt for soap&glory and can't wait for the origins charcoal mask review :3 xo

That's such a shame because I love alot of Soap & Glory products, hopefully you get to try them out someday! Coming soon my love!!
