January Empties

Sorry for being a bit MIA again recently. I haven't had the energy to blog. But I'm trying to come up with a posting schedule. Today I'm going to write about my empties for the month of January.


First up is skincare empties. I didn't finish many skincare products this month.

  • Avene Eau Thermale Spray 150ml - I love the Avene Thermal Spray. I've gone through a few of these, and I will always have one on hand. It's so refreshing and soothing. And it has so many uses. I use it to refresh myself during hot days. I use to soothe my armpits after I shave them. Or to help my body lotion apply easier. Will repurhase
  • Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid 30ml - I really liked this. I initially used this as a spot treatment when I had a hormonal spot, but I used it as an all over exfoliant and it left my skin really soft. I've purchased a full size one to trial and incorporate into my routines. 
  • La Roche Posay Toleriane Soothing Protective Cream 40ml - I did not enjoy this. This was a bit too much for my skin. I ended up finishing it as a body lotion as the skin on my legs need moisture. Will not repurchase. 
  • La Roche Posay Hydreane Legere Moisturiser 40ml - My go to moisturiser. I love how moisturised and smooth this leaves my skin. Will definitely repurchase.
Body and hair empties:
  • Toni & Guy Heat Protection Mist 150ml - I'm a bit undecided on this. I had previously used a smaller version of this and loved it. But I don't love it now. Will not repurchase. 
  • Avon Naturals Milk and Honey Shower Gel 200ml - This was a nice shower gel, with a nice scent, but I don't really like Avon products. I'm glad it's finished. Will not repurchase.
  • REN Oat and Bay Conditioning Shampoo 50ml - This was nice but I won't purchase a full size. It did leave my hair a bit stripped one time after I used it. 
  • REN Pro-Vitamin Conditioner 50ml - This was good but I won't be repurchasing it. But it smelt wonderful. 
  • Oral B Satin Tape 25m - My go to floss. It gets between the tight spaces between my teeth. Will repurchase. 
  • Gillette Venus & Olay replacement blades - This was so nice. I'm so glad I bought it. My skin isn't irritated by shaving any more. I love this. Will definitely repurchase. 
  • Boots Vitamin D 10 µg supplement - I live in the UK and don't get enough sunlight to naturally produce Vitamin D, so I take these. Cheap and effective. Will repurchase. 
I hope you guys enjoyed that, and I'll be back to posting regularly soon. 

Thanks for reading!

SVR Sun Secure Fluide SPF50+ Review

Image
The Product:  SVR describes this as a dry touch fluid that leaves a matt, non-greasy and non-sticky finish. One of the things that interested me about this sunscreen is it's claims that it protects against Infrared and Visible Light, as well as UVA & UVB rays. 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...
