Project Empties #5

-

I only managed to use up 11 products in June as most of the products I am currently using are full sizes, so it will take longer than a month to finish them. But 11 is better than none!





Body Care

Ayumi Sandalwood & Ylang Ylang Body Scrub
Like/Dislike: I liked the texture of the scrub but the scent was too masculine for my liking.
Buy Again? I would buy a scrub from the same brand but in a different scent.

Rituals Harmonising Foaming Shower Gel
Like/Dislike: I have used this shower gel many times before. Loved the scent & the way it foams up.
Buy Again? Yes

Hand Wash

Bloom Remedies Lavender, Lemon & Thyme Hand Wash
Like/Dislike: I bought this in a set along with hand sanitiser and hand cream, it is a lovely scent and moisturises well.
Buy Again? Yes, but I'd like to use up some soap bars first.

Carex The Original Hand Wash
Like/Dislike: My husband bought this when we ran out of liquid soap, little does he know I have many back up soap bars still to use!
Buy Again? It is cheap and cheerful and probably something my husband will add to the shopping basket again, but as above I would like to use up some soap bars first.

Hair Care

Aveda Shampure Nurturing Shampoo
Like/Dislike: I liked this shampoo and found it nourished my hair well.
Buy Again? Yes

System Professional Inessence Shampoo & Mask
Like/Dislike: I liked the scent of these and my hair felt lovely after using.
Buy Again? Yes I will definitely look into getting the full sizes.

Ogario London Restore & Shine Hair Masque
Like/Dislike: Was a great mask to give a boost to my hair.
Buy Again? Yes and I would like to try more products from this brand.

Facial Skincare

Pixi Glow Tonic Exfoliating Toner
Like/Dislike: I used to use this all the time and have gone through many a full sized bottle but lately toner is not something I remember to use everyday!
Buy Again? Yes most likely, unless I find something similar that I like more.

Ren Evercalm Anti-Redness Serum
Like/Dislike: I like this serum and found it did calm my skin when I had breakouts.
Buy Again? Yes, but I already have another sample size to use up first.

Lumene Moisture Remedy Day & Night Cream
Like/Dislike: I wanted to like it but just couldn't get in with it. I wasn't keen on the scent and I found it too thick in texture.
Buy Again? No unfortunately not.


That's all for this month! What 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. T...

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. Alteya's Whole...

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 diffe...
