The end of Winter has arrived!! Woo woo! 😀 You have no idea, I’m not a big Winter person at all, despite my dislike for the sun I love the Spring and Summer time 🙂 So bring it on!
This month has really flown by for me, and yes that is mostly because I’ve had my head stuck down working myself silly at work. But it’s all good 🙂 I’ve almost finished putting the final touches on some up coming trips that I am beyond looking forward to 🙂 So all in all, I’m in good spirits! What was your August like?
Month aside, it is time to get on to the Empties 🙂 No video again this month, my apologises if you were looking forward to them 🙁 But as the per the previous paragraph, no time!
Palmolive Body Butter Luscious Mango *
Mango is one of my favourite fruits so I thought I would love this, but honestly it was okay. It seemed to have a bit more of a coconut scent instead (not a fan of coconut). Despite it being a “body butter” I don’t feel it was very moisturising but fortunately it also doesn’t strip my skin of moisture. Not the best scent, but definitely good enough to use up! It does have a bit more of a calming feel to it so best for night time showers~
LUX Tropical Sunset Body Wash *
Quite the opposite of the body wash above, this was perfect for morning showers because it has a bit of a “zing” to it. Really helps wake you up! The packaging was a bit annoying, I much prefer pump bottles for body washes~ So much easier to use!
Bath & Body Works Gentle Hand Wash – Black Raspberry Vanilla
Moar foamy hand soap! I probably won’t get this again, it reminded me of medicine I used to take as a child.
DHC Deep Cleansing Oil
Lovely cleansing oil that did the job, go rid of ever speck of makeup on my face! Only down side is that it has a tendency to sting my eyes sometimes.
Shiseido Pureness Matifying Moisturiser
I used to LOVE the Pureness line from Shiseido, but ever since my skin turned dry, this line is just too drying for me! I’m still working through the face wash at the moment (now used as shaving lotion for my legs). This moisturiser really is better for people with oily skin. Wouldn’t repurchase.
Cle de Peau Lotion Tendre
I love the scent of Cle de Peau skincare products, so luxurious and I would purchase a full size bottle if it weren’t so expensive! I tend not avoid spending too much on toners, I prefer to invest my money into serums and moisturisiers.
Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Foundation – 51
LOVE this foundation! (And I finished an entire bottle of foundations!?) It really reminds me of the Chanel Perfection Lumiere or Dior Forever in terms of formula and texture. I started off not really liking the scent to now really loving it! I really want to purchase a second bottle, but given I have literally mountains of foundations to first work through, I figured I’ll be good and try and work through a few more bottles first OR if a 50% sale comes about I might just cave and get it. Highly recommend!
Bath & Body Works Mini Candle – Frosted Cranberry
Meh, so so. Nice scent, but not something I would repurchase again.
Products below aren’t ones that I have personally finished, in fact, the opposite! I haven’t finished them but have decided to throw them out.
Estee Lauder Resilience Lift Extreme SPF 15 *
I have no idea what happened, I used to love this and used it every morning religiously, then soon I started noticing that this formula would peel on me. I thought it was perhaps my serum, or sunscreen etc. Eventually the only thing I wore was this moisturiser and it STILL peeled so I knew it had to go.
MAC Mineralise Satinfinish SPF 15
Good foundation, but not great in my books. Frankly I’ve just had this too long and it’s time to give it the boot! Would I repurchase? Probably not given how much love I have for so many other brands.
