Hello readers, I'm back with another Empties post (here is a link to my previous one) because I have used up a few products and I wanted to share them with you so I could throw out the products.
1. Simple Kind to Skin Purifying Cleansing Lotion
Pros:
- didn't cause irritation
- cleansed my skin well
- inexpensive
- pleasant but subtle scent
Cons:
- none to be honest!
Repurchase?
I have repurchased this in the past, and I will repurchase this in the future. I'm not sure if I've sung my praises about Simple before, but I think all of the products by them that I've tried are such good value for the price. This for me is a staple, if I'm not feeling adventurous and don't want to try new products then I will probably always return to this product - does the job and it's inexpensive which is all I really ask for in a product.
2. Boots Essentials Cucumber Facial Toner
Pros:
- nice scent
- inexpensive
Cons:
- not very strong cleanser
Repurchase?
I have repurchased this in the past and I will probably repurchase it in the future because it's usually under £2, but I think I prefer Simple's toner to this. I do like the Cucumber scent, but I feel like the Simple toner cleanses my skin much more than this one.
3. Simple Kind to Skin Hydrating Light Moisturiser
Pros:
- sinks in quickly leaving a near matte finish
- not too greasy
- inexpensive
Cons:
- none!!
Repurchase?
Definitely. This is one of my favourite moisturisers of all time, it's inexpensive and sinks in so quickly so you can apply it and then a couple of minutes later be ready to put on makeup!
4. Collection Fast Stroke Eyeliner
Pros:
- long lasting
- dries quickly
- inexpensive
Cons:
- nib is thick making it hard to get a thin line
Repurchase?
I will definitely repurchase this (and have done in the past). I'm yet to find a liquid eyeliner that works as well for me as this, however I am still on the search for a perfect thin nibbed good formula liquid eyeliner so if I ever find 'the one' I will reject this eyeliner.
5. Soap and Glory Sugar Crush Body Wash
Pros:
- nice smell
- does the job
- large quantity
Cons:
- not cheap
- doesn't lather up amazingly
Repurchase?
I got this in the Yule Monty so if I buy that (although it was given to me when I got this) then I wouldn't have an issue with it. Although it's not as good a body wash as everyone says, I want to try out all of the other Soap and Glory body washes before returning to this one me thinks.
6. Beauty Formulas Mud Mask
 |
| I was naughty and re-used a photo from this post - sorry! It was only because the lighting when I took all the other photos is not as good so I thought I'd re-use a good photo rather than take a bad one, am I forgiven? Pros: - inexpensive - good value - makes my skin very soft Cons: - none to speak of! Repurchase? To quote an internet meme.. 'YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS'! I love this face mask with a passion, so inexpensive and does the job too! |
7. No7 Essential Moisture Night Cream
Pros:
- strong moisturiser
- made my skin noticeably softer
Cons:
- packing makes it harder to get all the product out
Repurchase?
Probably not because it is essentially just a heavy moisturiser and as it's No7 it's not likely to be cheap, plus I'm not sure if you can only get this in a box set or not.
8. No7 Essential Moisture Day Cream
Pros:
- sinks in quickly
- made my skin very soft
Cons:
- packaging is restrictive so it's hard to get all the product out
Repurchase?
Probably not because there are cheaper alternatives to just a heavy moisturiser, but I wouldn't be opposed to using it if I received it because it did make my skin very soft.
9. No7 Protect and Perfect Night Cream
Pros:
- did the basic job of a moisturiser
Cons:
- difficult to work into my skin because it would start to peel
- restrictive packaging!! (get on top of that No7!)
Repurchase?
No, again this is just a heavy moisturiser but this one began to peel on my face after being applied which is gross.
10. Collection Matching Perfection Concealer
 |
| Again, I've been a bit naughty and recycled a photo from this post - I just don't want to force bad photography on you! Pros: - high coverage - lasts a long time (not 16 hours though mind you!) Cons: - limited shade range - sometimes doesn't blend in amazingly (I have a love hate relationship with this concealer) Repurchase? Probably not unless they increase the shade range, a mixed race girl has to put up with a lot of problems - limited shade range in concealer and foundation is one of them! The shade I picked up (warm medium) isn't too bad but sometimes it is a tad too light and the dark shade emphasizes dark circles on me which defeats the point. So to re-use the wise words of Simon Cowell, it's a no from me. Thank you so much for reading/watching! Have you tried out any of these products? What products have you used up recently? |
