Project Empties #4

-

I have so many beauty products so I am going to do my best to use up more of my products before buying more (minus current subscriptions boxes of course).

Here is a round up of the products I used up over the last 4-5 weeks.


Aveda Damage Remedy Restructuring Conditioner
Like/Dislike: I liked this conditioner but didn't feel like it repaired my hair in any way.
Buy again? Probably not

Ayumi Intensive Hair Conditioning Treatment
Like/Dislike: Loved the scent of this conditioner and my hair was left soft.
Buy again?: Yes


Kathleen Tonifying Mist
Like/Dislike: I liked this mist, its refreshing and the bottle lasts ages!
Buy Again? Yes but I already have another one in my stash :)

Lovegrove Essentials Toning Mist
Like/Dislike: I actually used this up in my last empties post here but I must of forgotten to throw the bottle out and its been mixed up in with my recent empties! I enjoyed this mist and will be looking into other products from the brand.
Buy Again? Yes

FOM Hydra Plump Serum
Like/Dislike: It was a nice serum and applied well but didn't notice any difference to my skin after using.
Buy Again? I don't think it did much for my skin so unfortunately no. I do have another bottle in my stash to use up.

Paula's Choice Calm Restoring Moisturiser
Like/Dislike: I liked this and moisturised well, but didn't reach for it often so took ages to use up
Buy Again? Maybe


Ku.tis Grounded Body Butter
Like/Dislike: loved the texture of this body butter, it melts nicely into an oil when applied to skin
Buy Again? Yes


Bumi Face Polish x 2
Like/Dislike: I really wanted to like this but I didn't, I just couldn't stand the smell of it. Ended up using as a body scrub just to use it up as I hated to waste it!
Buy Again? No

Lumene Salt Body Scrub
Like/Dislike: Wasn't keen on this scrub, again I think the smell put me off. The grains were too fine for my liking also.
Buy Again? No

Kurlysue Body Butter
Like/Dislike: again loved the texture of this whipped body butter and smells lovely
Buy Again? Yes

Bloomtown The Grove Body Scrub
Like/Dislike: Loved the Blood Orange & Pink Grapefruit scent and liked the texture and scrubbiness! 
Buy Again? Yes



Alteya Liquid Soap: Grapefruit and Orange
Like/Dislike: Loved the scent and left hands moisturised. 
Buy Again? Yes, but I will get a different scent next time to try.


Corsodyl Daily Mouthwash
Like/Dislike: Was recommended by my dentist many years ago and I use it all the time, love the minty freshness.
Buy Again? Yes, I already have a replacement bottle. But I would like to try a natural mouthwash.


Merci Dry Shampoo
Like/Dislike: I liked this scent, it worked well and didn't leave white powder all over my hair.
Buy Again? possibly




Samples: I liked all of these so would buy full size of them all! Once I downgrade my stash of course!

What products have you been using up recently??

Look Fantastic Beauty Box - March Unboxing

-
Image
It has been ages since I've bought a Look Fantastic Beauty Box but after seeing some spoiler pictures on Facebook I decided to use my glossy credits to get this months box. Normally the box cost £15 including postage, with my glossy credits it took the price down a little to £9.35. The box this month is has a lovely white and blue design on top with a pinky purple base, which I will be keeping and reusing. It also comes with a copy of the latest Elle Magazine. From Rituals is Cherry Blossom & Rice Milk Soothing Hand Balm  70ml (£9.50)- a lovely floral lotion made with Shea Butter and Organic Rice Milk, the lotion replenishes and rejuvenates hands. Rituals are always a welcome brand I enjoy getting in boxes. Eos Lip Balm  7g (£6.50) in Strawberry Sorbet - Not actually a brand I've used before, but a handy balm to have in the makeup bag. Probably not something I would take out and about with me as I find the shape awkward for travel, I prefer small stick balms. This ba

Great weather calls for great sun protection with Alteya Orgaincs

-
Image
I'm loving the great weather we've been having so far this week....has summer finally arrived!? With temperatures up to 30 degrees in Scotland and soaring up to 38 in parts of England by Thursday, sun protection is a MUST if you are planning to leave your house even if all you do is sit in your garden. Really you should be using an SPF product daily regardless of the weather...yes even if its raining! As an outdoor worker (postwoman) a good SPF is top of my list all year round but especially at this time of year! Alteya Organics Whole Body Sunscreen * (£13.40 for 90ml) is enriched with emollient botanical butters and oils to hydrate the skin and protect against damaging UVA and UVB sun rays which cause sunburn and premature aging. So what is SPF and why do we need it? SPF or sun protection factor measures the level of protection a product will give you and how much longer it will take your skin to burn when wearing sunscreen vs not wearing sunscreen.

Sukin Blemish Control Kit

-
Image
My skin is quite prone to spots and blemishes so I really wanted to find a product that would help to control breakouts and reduce the redness I have. I've used Sukin products before but never knew they had a blemish control range until recently. The  Sukin Blemish Control Kit * (£19.95) contains 4 products to help calm and clear the skin, three are 50ml and one is 15ml so decent sized samples, and handy for travelling with. Clearing Facial Wash purifies the skin while removing dirt and impurities with Quince and Pomegranate. Pore Perfecting Toner refines and refreshes the skin with Eucalyptus, Tea Tree and Mint. Spot Banishing Gel helps to fight breakouts with Willowherb, Salicylic Acid and Eculyptus, while the  Oil Free Moisturiser clarifies and balances the skin with Willowherb, Quince and Moringa. Willowherb is said to fight the causes of blemishes in just 30 minutes! And while I didn't see a huge improvement that quickly, I did notice a big difference withi
