March Empties

Well another month has flown over. I swear it was only the beginning of March last week. Crazy. Anyway, here's my monthly empties post.



Skincare Empties:
  • First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream 56.7g - I bought myself a First Aid Beauty gift set last year and I tried this on my skin and it seemed too much for the skin on my face, but this was perfect for my body. I used this every time I got out of the shower and it left my skin moisturised. I probably won't be repurchasing it though.
  • La Roche Posay Hydreane Legere moisturiser 40ml - This is my go to moisturiser. I've tried others but nothing compares. I will repurchase it in the future and I have moved onto a new tube of this. 
  • Paula's Choice Calm Redness Relief Moisturiser Normal to Dry Skin 60ml - This is nice moisturiser, but it's too rich for my skin. So to use it up I used it on my body.  This was nice but I won't be buying it again. 
  • REN Evercalm Gentle Cleansing Milk 25ml - I've tried this before but I bought a REN Travel Bag set which had a load of minis in it. This is okay but I ended up using it as a hand wash as it was starting to break me out. I will not be repurchasing it. 
  • REN Vita Mineral Daily Supplement Moisturising Cream 15ml - This would be nice if they got rid of the scent. I hate the scent. But the texture is lovely. If the scent was gone I'd repurchase this in a second.  
  • Superdrug Calm Skin Refreshing Facial Spritz 100ml - This has such a lovely scent and it contains Hyaluronic Acid and Niacinamide, but the spray on this bottle is way too powerful for use as a face mist. So in the end I used this as a body mist.  
  • Wilko Maxi Oval Dual Faced Cotton Pads (50 pack) - My favourite cotton wool pads. Perfect for applying toners and exfoliants. 
Body Empties:
  • Avon Naturals Cinnamon and Cranberry Spritz 100ml - This was an okay scent but I won't be purchasing another bottle. I received this as a gift one year for Christmas. 
  • Boots Expert Tepe Easypick XS/S (36 count) - These were nice for when your on the go and have a piece of food stuck between your teeth, but I won't be buying these again. 
  • Colgate Plax Soft Mint Mouthwash 250ml - This was nice and gentle on my mouth, I've purchased another bottle of this. It left my mouth feeling nice and fresh. 
  • Compeed Cold Sore Patches - These are the best things I've ever used for cold sores. I think I'm pretty much resistant to most cold sore creams now, so these help protect my cold sore from outside aggravation and it helps them heal quicker. 
  • Curaprox CS 5460 Ultra Soft Toothbrush - These are my favourite manual toothbrushes ever. They are so soft and gentle on your teeth and gums. Even though I've got an electric toothbrush now, I do still use these fairly often. 
  • Dentek Silky Whitening Floss Picks (75 count) - These are great for the night where I'm too tired to floss before I go to bed. I will definitely be purchasing more in the future. 
  • Oral B Pro Expert Floss 40m - This was nice but I won't be purchasing it again as I grew sick of it towards the end. 
  • Oral B Precision Clean replacement head - This was nice and I might purchase more in the future. Left my teeth feeling clean. 
  • Oral B Sensi Ultrathin replacement head - These are nice because they gentle and soft on your teeth and gums. I've already purchased more of this. 
  • REN Neroli and Grapefruit Body Wash 50ml - Oh my god. I saw Caroline Hirons REN brand overview video and she mentioned that she loves this body wash. I can see why. It's such a gorgeous scent. Seriously, I want more. I have a shower gel problem at the minute, I have 11 shower gels/body cleansers, but once I've used up most of them, I will definitely be purchasing a full size bottle of this. 
  • Sensodyne Repair & Protect Toothpaste 75ml - I really like this toothpaste. It has no SLS in it, so it doesn't irritate the inside of my mouth. It also has a nice mint taste. I've already replaced this with another tube of this.
  • Superdrug Tongue Scraper - I love these. These help keep my breath fresh and they're only £2.99 and you get two in a packet. I've bought these countless times and I have bought more to replace this one with.  
  • Wisdom Interspace Brush - My wisdom teeth are coming through, and to keep them clean I use this. It does help. I will buy this again and have.

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. 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...
