Product Empties

Hello everyone,

I've come to the time where I've been trying out a lot of new products and binning things I don't like and repurchasing what I do like. Over the last few months, I have been keeping my empty bottles of skincare, sprays, cleansers and shower stuff. Here I will tell you if I liked the product or not, whether I would repurchase the item and if the product actually does what it says it does. So without wasting anymore time lets get on with it.

Skincare:



1. L'Oreal New Skin Perfection 3 in 1 Purifying Solution:
For a long time I have heard a lot of mixed views about this product, some bloggers liked it others did not and preferred products like Bioderma. I personally really liked it and felt that it took my makeup off and wasn't too harsh on the skin. Therefore, I will be repurchasing it when I get round to it and stop finding other cleansers/ makeup removers to try.

2. Simply Sensitive Gently Refreshing Toner
With this product I was a bit iffy whether to buy it or not because of how cheap it was and it was brand that I had never tried before and whether my skin would respond to it well. I was really disappointed with the product, I did not like it at all. I felt that it didn't do anything for my skin and wiping it on my face was absolutely pointless. In this case I will not be repurchasing.

3. Simple Eye Make-up Remover
I have always liked the brand simple and have tried a variety of their products and have always wanted a decent eye make-up remover, but have never wanted to buy something pricey. So I thought I would give it a go and even though it did what it said it would do, it irritated my eyes and would make them stingy. Even though I loved the product it made my eyes sensitive, so I will not be buying that again. Any suggestions in the comments below of any good eye make-up removers would be grateful.

4. Lancome Hydrating Toner
This was a birthday present and I didn't really want to use it straight away, but because it was new and I'd never tried Lancome before as its more of a luxury brand I gave it a try. At first I wasn't too keen on the product, but after using it a few times I seemed to start to like it. It left my skin feeling soft and it didn't irritate my skin. Because it is out of my budget I won't be repurchasing it in a long time.

5.Lush Tea Tree Toner Water
This was recommended to me buy the lady in the shop and that spritzing this on my face or wiping on a cotton pad will wipe the dirt away on my face. I felt that it did none of that and it actually made my skin worse. It took barely anything off my face and rubbing it on my face irritated it. Therefore, I will not  be repurchasing it even though I may try other lush products.

6. Garnier Daily Energising Gel Wash
I loved this product where it cleansed my face well and soothed my skin erasing blemishes and imperfections. The smell of it was pleasant and was easy on the skin and because my skin is oily it gave my face a fresh feel. After purchasing I have repurchased it many times because it is such a good product and will be doing so in the future.

7. Clean & Clear Dual Action Moisturiser
This moisturiser says that it moisturises and helps prevent spots and blemishes. I felt that it did this well however I didn't feel it prevented spots and blemishes. I didn't like the consistency of it and it felt drying on my skin. Therefore I will not be repurchasing as I have found other moisturisers on the market that I much prefer.

8. Spotless Anti-Blemish Moisturiser
Like I have said before I have always been keen on Simple products and am always willing to try out their new products because of their reviews and it is in my budget. So I decided to try it because it said it has spot fighting ingredients and that its natural, which I'm always keen on. The first couple of times I started using it I was seeing a huge difference in my complexion, it reduced my spots and pimples and cleared uneven skin tone. Not only this, but it made my skin soft skin and mositurised it well. I have not repurchased this moisturiser but instead I have just gone back to the Simple Moisturiser which I am loving at the moment.

9. Witch Hazel Blemish Gel
I was looking for a product that would get rid of individual spots/ blemishes when you put a gel on them and when I was looking this really caught my eyes. I have heard great things from their range so I thought I would give it a go. I thought that it definitely worked instantly however I didn't feel that it cooled my skin, but did the opposite and irritated it because of the alcohol/ witch hazel in the product. Also in the morning when I work up I felt my skin was dry and irritated because of it. Therefore, I will not be repurchasing it ever, but if anyone has any suggestions please write them in the comments box.

Hair Care:

10. Alberto Balsam Herbal Shampoo
I have always been using Alberto Balsam hair products for a while because of the cheap price and I love all the different scents. My favourite scent is Sun Kissed Raspberry. It added moisturiser to my dry hair and didn't make my hair greasy like some other shampoo's. I love this product so much I will always go back to this shampoo and keep repurchasing it.

11. Tresemme Deep Cleansing Shampoo
Tresemme has always been a luxury product for me, but it was on special offer for a huge bottle so I decided to give it a whirl and I absolutely fell in love straight away after one wash. It does what it says on the bottle " Cleanse and Replenish" and this what I love that it cleans your hair and doesn't leave it sticky and there's a clear feel of no product left over in your hair. Whenever I feel like buying a luxury hair product I will be going back to this shampoo and may even try something different in their range.

There you go folks just a few products that I have finished over the last couple of months. I am considering making this blog a more permanent thing and doing blogs every other couple of days or weekly, put in the comments what you think and posts you would like to see.
Thanks for reading!
