It's empties time again and over the past few weeks I have finished some of my favourite products. I'm really committed to finishing off products that have been open for a while and I'm delighted that my shelves are less heaving and my stash is becoming more streamlined. I have a mixture of skin, hair and body care products so let's get started!
Skincare:
Clarins Beauty Flash Balm: I couldn't even hazard a guess at how many tubes of this I have gone through! I just love it - my skin looks bright, plump and radiant when I use this. It is also soothing and all foundations apply beautifully over it. It has been a staple for many, many years now and I have already repurchased.
GLAMGLOW ThirstyMud: Another one of my favourite skincare products. I have used all of the Glamglow masks but this is the only one that I would feel the need to repurchase - in fact, I have repurchased it several times over the past 3 years since I first tried it. I leave it on overnight and wake up to soft, nourished, plump and comfortable skin. It's the most hydrating mask that I have used and it doesn't clog my pores at all. I have already repurchased,
REN Glycol Lactic Radiance Renewal Mask: Another product that I have repurchased several times. This is one of those products that give instant, visible results and you can almost feel the dead skin cells being eaten when it is applied. I really love this mask and although Oskia Renaissance Mask is very similar, I have found that I've missed this mask since finishing it so I will repurchase at some point.
Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel: Another favourite! Why is it that so many favourites are finished at the same time?! I love this for my morning cleanse - it's a gel/balm hybrid that dissolves into oil and it is brightening but gentle at the same time. Read more in my brand focus post here. I have around 8 cleansers on the go at the moment so don't need to repurchase at the moment but I definitely will.
Omorovicza Queen of Hungary Mist: I adore this mist - it is soothing and hydrating and has the finest spray of any mist I own. It is ideal to use after acid toning but also just to refresh my makeup throughout the day. The glass bottle isn't very handbag-friendly but it is ideal for on your desk and it doesn't help that it looks very pretty. Read more in my brand focus post here. I have a few facial sprays on the go at the moment, but this is one I will definitely repurchase at some point.
Haircare:
Lee Stafford Hair Growth Leave In Treatment: I love the hair mask in this range so thought I would try this leave in treatment. I sprayed it on damp hair after washing before brushing through with a tangle teezer and found that it helped detangle my hair without any tugging. I love the scent of this range - kind of reminds me of Thierry Mugler Angel but not quite as strong. I can't comment on the hair growth aspect of it but as a detangling spray, it worked and my hair dried very smoothly afterwards. I will probably repurchase when it's on 3 for 2 offer in Boots.
Revlon Professional Equave Detangling Shampoo: The leave in conditioner from this range is my all time favourite so I thought I would try the shampoo. I love how clean my hair feels when I use this, but not stripped however I can't say that my hair was less tangled as a result of using it so am not inclined to repurchase.
Perfume:
Cerutti 1881: I have been wearing this perfume for around 20 years now and I don't think that I will ever stop! It's a warm, musky, floral, sophisticated scent and I honestly can't get enough of it. I even wore it on my wedding day despite my brother buying me a bottle of Vera Wang classic EDP for the occasion. It is a perfume that I will forever repurchase.
Body care:
Nivea Express Hydration Body Lotion: I'm a huge fan of Nivea body care products. This body lotion delivers a good dose of moisture without being greasy or difficult to rub in. I can get dressed immediately after applying, which I love. I have already repurchased.
Omorovicza Gold Sugar Scrub: From one end of the price spectrum to the other! Regular readers will know that I am a massive fan of Omorovicza and this is no exception. This creamy scrub is really exfoliating but doesn't rip the skin so it leaves it soft, smooth and nourished - ready for the next step, whether that is tan, oil or a lotion. I absolutely love this scrub but given the price, I won't repurchase immediately but will at some point in the future for a decadent treat.
This Works Deep Sleep Bath Soak: Regular readers will know that I adore the Pillow Spray in this range and I have also used the bath oil previously but I'm not crazy about these bath salts. They do smell nice and I unwind when I use them in the bath but I don't find them to be as effective as the pillow spray or bath oil so I won't repurchase.
Bondi Sands Self Tanning Lotion Dark: I apply tan on a weekly basis and I can always rely on this tan to give me an even, streak-free tan. Although it says dark, it doesn't look unnatural and I love that it fades evenly. I have already repurchased.
Daughter of The Soil White Mulberry Body Butter:I love everything about this product - from the packaging to the story behind it and of course the body butter itself. I encourage you to read my full review here as I love brands with a purpose but the butter itself is really beautiful - it left my skin so soft and supple. I usually use budget body moisturisers as I apply them daily but I will be purchasing this as gifts for friends and family when the occasions arise.
