May Empties


Well, another month has come to an end. May has been a decent month for me, I finally started my driving lessons and I'm enjoying it. I am going to try and post on here more often.

First up is skincare empties, I didn't finish many skincare products in May.
  • Caudalie Moisturising Toner - I did not like this. I used this as a body mist to use it up. It didn't really seem to have any benefits to it. I will not purchase this again.
  • Etude House Sunprise Must Daily Lotion SPF50+ - This was a nice lightweight sunscreen. It left no white cast, and it contains no Avobenzone which is what I want in a sunscreen. The reason I won't be purchasing this again was it left my skin too shiny after I had applied it. 
  • La Roche Posay Cicaplast Baume - I love this stuff. It's really great at helping damaged skin heal a lot faster than if it was left on it's own. I use this predominantly on my arms on any scratches and scraps I have. I will always have this in my skincare collection as it is something I miss when I don't have it. 
  • SVR Physiopure Micellar Water - This was a nice micellar water. I don't use micellar water in the traditional sense, like for taking make up off, but to use as a hand cleaner. This works really well as a hand cleaner.. 
  • The Body Shop Camomile Cleansing Butter - This is my desert island product. I love this so much. It's gentle on my skin and it effectively removes my SPF and the day's grime. I love using this and I will continue to use this. Plus, the scent is divine. 
Next up is my body care empties:
  • Bioderma Atoderm Cleansing Cream - This was awesome. This is one of my new favourite body cleansers. This was so gentle on my skin, my skin never felt irritated after using it. I will definitely be buying more of  this in the future. 
  • Boots Expert Interdental Brushes - These were alright, but I don't think I'll be buying them again any time soon. 
  • Brushbox Tongue Cleaner - Brushbox is a new subscription box where they send you a new toothbrush and two tubes of toothpastes every 2 months, and they also donate a toothbrush to someone in need. I'm a bit OTT about my oral hygiene so I signed up for this. For an additional cost they'll also include a tongue cleaner and floss in your boxes. I was really disappointed with this subscription box. The tongue cleaner was the only thing I ended up using. Shame though, it was a nice idea. 
  • Curaprox CS5460 Ultra Soft Toothbrush - I love this toothbrushes, so soft and gentle, yet effective. I've missed these and I've switched back to using them instead of my electric toothbrush. 
  • Dentek Comfort Clean Floss Picks - These are nice and easy to use when I'm feeling a bit tired or after my lunch. For £3, I can't go wrong. 
  • Impulse Tease Body Spray - I really enjoy Impulse body sprays. I like the scents and they're cheap. 
  • La Roche Posay Cicaplast Mains Hand Cream - I love this hand cream. I think this is one of products that I will continue to repurchase. I don't think I've ever repurchased a product as much as this. I love it that much that my sister got me some from Christmas. I'm obsessed. 
  • Lush Sleepy Body Lotion sample - I loved this. It has the same scent as one of my favourite Lush shower gels, Twilight. This is such a relaxing scent. I'm definitely going to be getting a tub of this in the future. 
  • Mixa SOS Repair Hand Cream - This was a nice hand cream. It's quite similar to the La Roche Posay Cicaplast hand cream, but it has a few different ingredients in it. It was nice but I don't think I'll be repurchasing it. 
  • Oral B Satin Tape - This is a good dental floss and it's cheap, there's not much more to say about this. 
  • Oral B Sensi Ultrathin Replacement Head - These heads are nice and a bit more gentle than some of the replacement heads available. I might buy more in the future. 
  • Sensodyne Pronamel Multi-Action Toothpaste - I wasn't impressed by this toothpaste. I feel that it made my sensitivity worse. I'm not going to be buying this particular Pronamel toothpaste again. 
  • Superdrug Little Moisturising Blue Stick - This is one of my favourite lip balms ever, and it's the only one I've repurchased constantly. I apply it last thing on a night before I sleep, and it keeps my lips moisturised and hydrated all night long. 
  • Wisdom Interspace Brush - These are great at helping keep my wisdom teeth clean. Cheap and effective.

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...
