These months really are whizzing by, I cannot believe it is time for my
October empties already! I have used up a lot of products that I have
loved this month, which is sad but means that I can go out and buy more
:) I appear to have gone through quite a bit of skin care which I am
actually very happy about as my skincare cupboard is over flowing with
products!
The
Bliss Fabulous Foaming Face wash (£18.40)
is the first product I have tried from Bliss and what a great first
product it was. It smells amazing, it is so refreshing and lovely to use
in the morning. My skin can be quite sensitive yet this does not
irritate it one bit and leaves my skin clean and soft.
Would I buy these again? Most definitely
If you are after a delicate scrub which can be used daily, then the
Elemis Skin Glow Exfoliating Face Wash (£12)
is the one for you. I however am quite indifferent, I use an exfoliant
once a week and I wash my face everyday, so do I really need this
product? I don’t think so… Having said that, it is lovely, it cleans my
face well and is very gentle.
Would I buy these again? Possibly if it was on offer.
Every now and then I like to buy face wipes for when I am feeling lazy. The
Simple Face Wipes (£2.99)
are great for sensitive skin and they do not contain alcohol or oil so
they are not going to dry your skin out. These face wipes are full of
moisture and very soft, so it does not feel like they are tugging at
your skin and they leave you feeling nice and refreshed.
Would I buy these again? Yes.
This is my second bottle of
Bioderma (£4.50)
and I absolutely love it. I have yet to try any other micellar water,
however I am tempted by the L’Oreal one which is a fraction of the cost.
If you are ever in Paris, make sure you head to the City Pharma
pharmacy where you can pick up large Bioderma bottles for very cheap.
Would I buy these again? Without doubt
I reviewed the
Nourifusion Toner in dry to normal (£14.05)
over a year ago now and I have finally got through this beast of a
bottle. I actually really liked it and would definitely recommend. It is
not drying in the slightest and leaves my skin feeling clean and
refreshed. To read my review, see
here.
Would I buy these again? Yes
I wrote a full review on the
Vichy Soothing Eye Make-up Remover (£10.25)
here and my thoughts still stand! Since finishing this product I have
replaced it with the No.7 eye make-up remove (see review
here) and what a mistake that was. I cannot wait to purchase this again.
Would I buy this again? YES!
My mum introduced me to the
Olay Regenerist Replenishing Cream (£21.99)
and it has become my favourite daily affordable night cream. It is such
a nice consistency that when applied it sinks in straight away and
there is no residue left on the skin. It is quite a rich moisturiser
which I why I use it at night, but I can definitely see and feel a
difference when using this.
Would I buy this again? Yes, definitely!
I received the
Vichy Idealia Moisturiser (£22.75) in
a Glossy Box and unfortunately it really wasn't right for my skin. It
didn't do much for my skin and my make-up did not apply well at all, it
looked patchy and actually felt quite dry. It's a shame as I do like
Vichy, but I am sure another will suit my skin better!
Would I buy this again? No
I got the Hello Kitty Liberty Bath Bubbles in a gift set at Christmas
and in terms of the actual product it has a nice scent, lathers up well
and my skin generally feels soft after, but it was nothing special. I
am in love with the packagaing though – such a lovely design.
Would I buy this again? I would for the packaging
When you next go into The Body Shop, smell the
Satsuma Shower Gel (£4)
- it smells amazing. It is very uplifting in the morning and I can
still smell it when I am out of the shower, I can see why it is a best
seller. I am not sure what else to say other than try it if you like
fruity scents!!
Would I buy this again? Most definitely
The
Vaseline Aloe Sensitive Deodorant (£1.95)
is ok as far as deodorants go. I do like the scent, it is. Ice and
fresh, and it does leave my feeling refreshed for a good part of the
day, however my favourite is still the Sure Maximum Protection, which I reviewed
here.
Would I buy this again? Only if I couldn't get hold of the Sure deodorant.
The
YSL Shocking Mascara (£23.50) is amazing and up there as one of my favourites, along with the Lancome Baby Doll Mascara. It lengthens, volumises and seperates lashes, which is all that I look for in a mascara. Once applied, my eyes appear more open and I also find it lasts a lot longer than your average mascara.
Would I buy this again? Yes, when I am looking to treat myself!
What products have you used up this month and what have you been loving?
