August Beauty Empties

 


Hi everyone! I had a 3 month hiatus there, I've been so busy with work so I really haven't had chance to post much but I'm back now and can't wait to start posting more. As I've not been posting for so long, I have sooooo many beauty empties to share my opinions on so I'm going to do that in this post. Most of these products I used up in August but a few in June & July too. This is going to be a really long post so I'm just going to get into it. P.S. Some of these products were kindly gifted but as always, all opinions are my own!

Haircare:

First up is the Noughty To The Rescue Shampoo.
 

I really liked this shampoo and it smells AMAZING. It is a huge bottle as well as it's 250ml. I still can't find a shampoo that doesn't make my hair greasy after 2 days but this was nice and did the job!

Would I repurchase? Probably not as I want to try other shampoo and conditioners but there wasn't anything wrong with it, just didn't love it!


Next is the Coconut Lane Palm Pwr Hair Rescue Mask.


I really liked this hair mask as not only does it smell amazing, it left my hair so soft too. It did exactly what it claimed to do and I was really happy with how it left my hair every time I used it.

Would I repurchase? YES. 100% loved it.


Next was the Gorgia's Hemp Shampoo & Conditioner.


These products were just meh for me. They did the job of washing my hair but they didn't smell amazing and I thought they made my hair greasier faster than usual. As they are oil-based, they probably did. I love the brand though, I have some skincare from them and that is amazing, these products just didn't agree with my hair.

Would I repurchase? No, as I feel they weren't right for my hair type.


Another product I recently used up was the Monat Micellar Soothing Shampoo.


This product was also just okay. It did the job but I didn't love it and think it was the best product I've ever used. It did smell really nice which is a bonus but it was just average for me.

Would I repurchase? No, didn't think it was anything special.


Another empty was the Mudmasky Hair Mask Scalp Treatment & Miracle Shampoo.


I really loved this product, I got it in a Glossybox a few months ago. It smelled really nice and made my hair feel unbelievably soft, the only downside was that as there is only 75ml in the tube, it didn't last very long. I really did like this product though!

Would I repurchase? Definitely, really loved it.


The final haircare product I used up was the Messhead Shine Serum.


I kid you not, I bought this when I was in high school so maybe I shouldn't have still been using it lol but I re-discovered it in my never ending drawer and thought I'd use it up. This was another meh product, it made my hair feel soft and it smelt nice but I felt as though it didn't really do anything.

Would I repurchase? No, as they probably don't even sell it anymore hahaha.

Moving onto skincare:

First up was the Soap & Glory Vitamin C Facial Wash.



I really liked this face wash as it made my skin feel so amazing and glowy after using it. It smelled really nice and you only needed a tiny bit to wash your whole face. The exfoliating beads in the gel really helped to deep clean my skin too.

Would I repurchase? Yes, I loved it and it's good value for money.


Another cleanser I used up was the Urban Veda Purifying Exfoliating Facial Polish.

I also loved this face wash, I felt like it actually cleared up my spots a bit. It had tiny exfoliating beads in it that deep cleansed my skin and made it feel so soft afterwards. It was great for my oily skin too!

Would I repurchase? Yes, I definitely will in the future as it's helped my skin a lot.


Another cleanser I got through was the Codex Exfoliating Wash.


This was amazing too and made my skin feel so clean afterwards. It didn't feel stripping on my face and I loved the packaging as it's a pump so it means you literally get every last bit of the product out.

Would I repurchase? Yes, I've already been looking at buying the full-size version.


I used up one cleansing balm this month which was the Monat Makeup Vanishing Balm.


I cannot praise this product enough. I am honestly in love with it and will be ordering another asap. It was so easy to apply and genuinely removed every last bit of my makeup. It was so gentle on the skin and never broke me out whilst I was using it. If you buy one product from this post - please let it be this one.

Would I repurchase? Yes, 100 times over.


The first toner I used up recently was the Glossier Solution.


I've spoke about this in blog posts before but I absolutely loved it. It made my skin glow after using it and made it feel really deeply cleansed. I would definitely try this product from Glossier if you haven't tried anything of theirs yet. It also lasted me ages which is a plus.

Would I repurchase? Yes, I will be in a few months!


Another Glossier product I recently used up was the Soothing Face Mist.


I liked this product but did think it was overrated as it's £13 for 95ml worth of product. It smelt really nice and made my skin feel refreshed but there are cheaper alternatives in my opinion!

Would I repurchase? Nope, it's overpriced but nice if you want to splurge.


The final toner I used up was the Coxir Vita C Bright Toner.


I really liked this toner as it has niacinamide and Vitamin C & E in it which helped my skin to feel really glowy and healthy. It lasted me ages too.

Would I repurchase? Yes - good value for money.


One face mask I used up was the Mario Badescu Super Collagen Mask.


I've spoke about this before on my blog but I really loved this face mask as it dried like a clay mask and made my skin feel really glowy and healthy afterwards. I love when you can feel a face mask really cleaning your face and pulling all the dirt out and this one did exactly that.

Would I repurchase? Yes, yes and yes.


One of the first serums I used up recently was the Sunday Riley Luna Retinol Sleeping Night Oil.


This was only a sample but I really loved it, it kept my face hydrated all night and reduced the redness in my skin too. I didn't find it too harsh on my skin either which is good.

Would I repurchase? Yes but it's expensive so maybe when I've been paid lol.


The next serum I used up was the Ordinary Niacinamide & Zinc Serum.


It's hit and miss with me on this serum as when I was using it, I didn't notice any difference in my skin but as I've stopped using it due to it running out, my skin has started to break out. I have another bottle of it so I will give it another try.

Would I repurchase? I did and I'm going to see how it goes!


My next empty was the La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Serum.


I really, really loved this serum. I really liked the smell of it and it was such a good face plumper. It made my skin look so healthy whilst I was using it, it also made my skin look really glowy.

Would I repurchase? 100%, I will be soon.


The final serum I used up was the Evolve Beauty Rainforest Rescue Blemish Serum.


This product is AMAZING. I've already noticed since not using this that my spots have become worse as I only finished using it up recently. It is so lightweight on the skin yet makes such a difference. If you struggle with acne-prone skin, please try this, it will change your life!

Would I repurchase? Yes, I am ordering another today!!!


The first moisturiser I used up was the Fresh Beauty Lotus Youth Preserve Dream Face Cream.


Again, LOVE LOVE LOVE this product. As it's a night cream, it was thick but not too thick and it glided on my face and also smelt amazing. I will definitely be buying this again as it just felt so luxurious on my skin.

Would I repurchase? Yes, again and again.


Another empty moisturiser was the Origins High-Potency Night-A-Mins Resurfacing Cream.


Really loved this night cream also as it was thick and kept my skin hydrated all night. Even though this was a sample, it helped my skin so much in the time that I used it.

Would I repurchase? 100%, it's on my to buy list.


Next up is the Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream.


Another moisturiser that I absolutely loved. This was a gel consistency so I used it in the day as it was also amazing for my makeup to sit on top of. It made my skin really glowy and dewy and just really soft.

Would I repurchase? Yes, it's a great day cream.


The next empty was the ThisWorks In Transit Camera Close-Up Mask, Moisturiser and Primer in one.


I loved this product so much. I used it right before I applied makeup and it made my makeup look flawless. It made my skin really soft and bouncy too. It's also amazing value for money.

Would I repurchase? Yes, 100%. I would definitely recommend this to everyone.


One eye cream I used up recently was the Lancome Advanced Genefique Yeux.


This was another meh product as it did make my under-eyes really soft but I didn't see a real difference to my skin. For the high price-point, it didn't really live up to expectations for me!

Would I repurchase? No, as it didn't do much to my skin and I feel it is overpriced for what it is and how much product you get.


A primer I used up was the MAC Strobe Cream in Pinklite.


Loved, loved loved this primer. It made my skin glow before applying makeup and my makeup sat amazing on top of it. It lasted me absolutely ages too. I would really recommend this product!

Would I repurchase? Yes, amazing primer.


The final empty in the post was the Gallinee Hand Cream.


This hand cream was only a sample but was really lightweight on my skin as I hate hand creams that are thick and you have to wait for them to dry. This was perfect for me!

Would I repurchase? Yes, I will be in the future!


Hope you all loved this post & if you made it to the end, well done! Is there anything you've used up recently that you thought was amazing? Please let me know! Hope everyone is well & stay safe.

XO,
