Welcome to my summer and autumn 2023 edition of empty products that I have used up in the past seasons. The purpose of this post is that I wanted to post products that I used up to help me remember which ones I would purchase again, and it may help others with deciding which products to purchase too.
Dr. Bronner's Organic Shikakai Soap in lemongrass lime: This hand and body soap is completely organic, and it is made from Acadia Concinna tree, which is regarded for gentle cleansing and conditioning for skin and hair. Would I buy it again? No. It is expensive for what it is, and I have other products to use up.
Yes to Coconut Hydrating Sleeping Mask: This sleeping mask is designed to hydrate your skin overnight and does not leave colour on sheets; it works overnight to hydrate thirsty skin. Would I buy it again? No, I did not really feel hydrated and felt that the mask was thick on my skin.
TONYMOLY I'm Red Wine Mask Sheet: This mask includes natural ingredients to help hydrate skin in twenty minutes. Would I buy it again? No, I did not really feel hydrated.
111SKIN Celestial Black Diamond Eye Mask: The eye mask is designed to be worn underneath the eyes to remove the appearanc of tired eyes. Would I buy it again? No, the product is expensive and did not really stick to my skin in the area. I did not see any benefit.
Yes to grapefruit Unicorn Peel-Off Mask: This skin mask promises to boost glow to skin using vitamins and comes in a cute unicorn shape. Would I buy it again? No, the product had disintegrated and was not any use.
Gilcrest & Soames Essential Elements BATHE shower gel: This citrus-scented shower gel makes the bath smell delicious and lathers up nicely. Would I buy it again? It's a good product, but I have enough shower gel.
Clinique High Impact Mascara: This mascara adds length and volume to lashes. Would I buy it again? The product is okay, but I found that it had a tendency to dry out early, and I have used better mascara products.
Lancôme L'Absolu Rouge 6 lipstick: I loved the shade and moisturising lip stick in a matte muted shade. Would I buy it again? No, because the packaging failed. I liked the product, but the case snapped, and the lipstick got all over my hand bag and mainly was wasted.
lip stick: This was an off-brand lipstick in a brown shade. Would I buy it again? No, I had this awhile and binned it as it was no longer any good; off-brand or cheap brand products are not the way to go.
The White Company Flowers Shampoo: This product has a floral scent in rose and jasmine to make hair smell floral in the shower and leave it fresh. Would I buy it again? I like this brand, but I would not purchase the shampoo as I tend to use other brands.
Victoria's Secret Beauty Rush liquid glitter in purple: I loved the idea of this purple glitter eyeliner, but I found that it applied unevenly and clumpy. Would I buy it again? No.
Clinique Clarifying Lotion: This was part of the three step process skin care regime. Would I buy it again? No, the product was very harsh on my skin and dried it out. I actually had stopped using it several years ago now and found this one in my travel bag. I noticed that my skin had a tendancy to break out more with pimples when I used this product.
I Love Revolution Fixing Spray in Peaches and Cream: This make-up fixing spray has a light scent of peaches and cream. Would I buy it again? No, I have used better products for this purpose and the product was average.
BetterYou Selemium+ACE Oral Spray: A couple of sprays into the mouth daily should boost energy levels and vitamin intake to help the immune system. Would I buy it again? No, I did not find any benefit, and the product did not have a good taste, especially toward the end of the bottle.
7th Heaven Charcoal Fac Mash and Dead Sea Peel-Off: These facial masks promise to hydrate and purify skin. Would I buy it again? Th brand is okay for a cheap facial mask solution, and I would not hestitate to purchase again.
Essence You Better Work FIxing Spray: This make-up fixing spray is not scented and promises to keep make up in place. Would I buy it again? This product seemed to work and keeping my make-up in place, so I would not mind to purchase it again.
Morning Surprise Hand Cream in 'Monroe Peach': The hand lotion contains shea butter, olive oil, and snail extract. It is a lightly-scented perfume formula and absorbs into the skin without feeling heavy or greasy. Would I buy it again? I would purchase it if available, but it is a Korean product, and I already have enough hand creams. I really liked the fragrance.
Penhaligon's Empressa fragrance: This is an adult classic scent with vanilla and orange tones. Would I buy it again? I like the scent, but the longevity is the issue with this brand as I find it does not really linger for long.
Make up remover wipes: These make-up remover wipes are perfect if on the go or at a music festival. Would I buy it again? No, the product was not as wet as it needed to be to remove the make-up.
Per Una blush in rogue: This soft blusher was a light pink shade to easily blend into skin. Would I buy it again? I enjoyed the product as it helped to blend easily, but it's a Marks and Spencer's brand and I believe it's been discontinued.
Pond's Cold Cream Cleanser: This moisturising cleanser removes make-up. Would I buy it again? The product removes make-up, but I found it too oily on my skin and not great if accidentally got into my eyes.
Elf eyeshadow pallet: I received this eyeshadow pallet in neutral brown and muted pink shades. Would I buy it again? No, the product was okay but I have used better eyeshadow. This one was a little bit too powdery.
Perfume samples - Flowerbomb by Viktor Rolf: This is a floral scent that does smell beautiful. Would I buy it again? Yes, I enjoyed the scent.
Perfume samples - Daisy by Marc Jacobs: This is a floral girlish scent. Would I buy it again? Yes, I like the scent and actually have the full size already.
Perfume samples - Perfect by Marc Jacobs: This is a fresh and floral with fruity tone scent. Would I buy it again? I enjoyed the scent, but I prefer 'Daisy', so I would not purchase it again.
Perfume samples - Myself by Yves Saint Laurent: This is an orange blossom and warm woody scent. Would I buy it again? No, it was not my favourite scent.
Perfume samples - Spicebomb by Viktor Rolf: This is a warming and spicy scent and a masculine one. Would I buy it again? No, this was not my favourite.
Perfume samples - Christina Aguilera: This is a floral and fruity scent. Would I buy it again? No, this was not my favourite.
Benefit Pore Professional: This product helps to minimise the appearance of pores and should be worn underneath foundation. Would I buy it again? Yes, and I already use it.
Rimmel Lasting Finish Breathable foundation: This foundation is light on skin and allows an even coverage. Would I buy it again? Yes, but it appears to be discontinued.
Rimmel I love Lasting Finish nail polish in pink: This nail polish is in a muted pink tone. Would I buy it again? No, I did not like the product as it did not apply evenly.
Elemis Revitalise-m bath and shower gel: This spa brand scent makes the user feel relaxed in the shower. Would I buy it again? Although the brand is good, I would not purchase this product as I have plenty of soaps and shower gels that do the trick, and Elemis is on the costly side.
Collection Illuminating Touch foundation: This foundation promises to illuminate skin. Would I buy it again? I found the product too thick and not even when I applied it.
Lip gloss in cupcake: I received a glittery lip balm. Would I buy it again? No, I had to bin it as it was very gel-like and clumpy.
Emite Make-up Diamond Heart Base Primer: This base primer helps keep skin in even tone and condition to be worn under foundation. Would I buy it again? The product was okay, and I would consider to use it again as a primer depending on the cost.
