June Empties

Well, June has flown by for me.

As it's the end of the month, I'm going to post what skincare empties I've had this month.

First up is the REN Evercalm Global Protection Day Cream (15ml). This was part of a REN Evercalm gift set. This wasn't great. It was very greasy. It would not sink in. It also had a weird smell to it. I ended using this up on my feet.

The next skincare empty of June is the Caudalie Gentle Cleansing Milk (100ml). I really enjoyed this. I posted my thoughts about this is my morning routine post. I will definitely be purchasing this again in the future.

I received a sample of the Lierac Blemish Correction Regulating Gel. This was good to use and it really helped reduce a spot on my neck. I may look into buying this in the future.

This is a sort of skincare empty. I finished a lip balm, which was the Superdrug Little Moisturising Blue Stick. This is my all time favourite lip balm. I use it every night before I go to sleep and it keeps my lips moisturised and nourished during the night. And for 99p, it's a bargain.

 I also finished the REN Evercalm Gentle Cleansing Milk (50ml) this month. I posted my thoughts about this in my Test Queue post. Go and have a read to see my thoughts. I won't be buying this again and I'm glad it's gone.

I finished my first tube of La Roche Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 SPF50. I really enjoyed this. I use both this and the original Cicaplast Baume, and it has helped heal any cuts and its helping to fade the scars left behind. I might do a post in the near future to show how I've progressed with healing and fading the scars on my arms. I will repurchase and already have.

I finished another tube of La Roche Posay Hydreane Legere moisturiser this month. Holy Grail moisturiser for me, my thoughts are in my morning and evening routine posts.

I also finished the REN Evercalm Anti-Redness Serum (10ml) this month. This was the only Evercalm product I enjoyed. I would use it if I was given it, but I won't actively buy it.

I tried a sample of the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Hydrating Serum. I really enjoyed this, it left my skin very hydrated. I will definitely think about purchasing this in the future.

I tried two samples of Bioderma Photoderm line this month as well. The first one I tried was the Bioderma Photoderm Max Aquafluide SPF50. This was nice. It was light on my skin, and it was dry to touch after it was applied. It left a white cast at first, but once rubbed in, it disappeared. The second sample I tried was the Bioderma Photoderm Spot SPF50 Creme. This was great. It absorbed easily and it was barely noticeable. I'm definitely going to purchase this in the near future.

Overall, I had 20 empties this month, and 14 of them were skincare items. That's not too bad, but I bought a lot of items this month. I'm definitely going to put myself on a no buy next month.

Thanks for reading!

SVR Sun Secure Fluide SPF50+ Review

The Product:  SVR describes this as a dry touch fluid that leaves a matt, non-greasy and non-sticky finish.

Ingredients:  Aqua, Diisopropyl Adipate, Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, Homosalate, Methyl Methacrylate, Methylene Bis-Benzotriazoyl Tetrametylbuylphenol, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol, Methoxyphenyl Triazine, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Cyclopentasiloxane, Silica, Beheneth-25, Ethyhexyl Triazone, Caprylhydroxamic Acid, Cetearyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Daucus Carrota Sativa Root Extract, Decyl Glucoside, Glycine Soja Oil, Hydrogenated Phospatidylcholine, Lecithin, Lepidum Sativum Sprout Extract, Phenetyl Alcohol, Glycerin, Squalane, Tocopherol, Tocopheryl Acetate, 1-2 Hexanediol, Caprylyl Glycol, Citric Acid, Disodium Edta, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate C...

In the test queue - REN Evercalm Gentle Cleansing Milk

Image
I like to try out new products, but I have to introduce them slowly to try and prevent any major reactions to products. I patch test every new product in the same area, my cheek, chin and nose. My chin and nose are where I experience any breakouts, if I have one. My cheek is where I experience no breakouts, so I test there to see if a new product would cause a breakout in that area, and if it did, the product would be unsuitable for me. I patch test new products for four weeks, to give my skin time to react to the product. I'm currently testing the REN Evercalm Gentle Cleansing Milk . Although it's called a cleansing milk, it has much more of a whipped texture, like a cream, more than a milk. I like the pump packaging, it's very efficient. My first impressions of this product were disappointing. I had such high hopes for this product. It sinks in quite quickly once massaged onto the skin, and it comes off easily with a face cloth, but it's just disappointing. ...

In the test queue - Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Serum

Image
I'm currently testing the Klairs Rich Moist Soothing Serum. I was browsing on YesStyle one day and this brand caught my attention. I've seen people rave about Klairs Supple Preparation Toner but I'd never seen anyone mention any of their other products. I decided to buy this as well as buying the popular Supple Preparation Toner. Klairs describe this as a gentle aqueous serum which helps replenish moisture and soothe the skin. I'm currently loving hydrating products at the minute so I decided to start testing this. My first thoughts are that this has a nice consistency. I've been using this on a night to start with, I may add it into my morning routines once I know it's not going to break me out. This is feels so light and absorbs so easily. I'm really liking it so far. I particularly like to use this on the nights where I use a BHA as my skin can feel a bit dry from using it. I feel like this is helping improve my moisture levels. My skin can feel so d...
