My Empties June 2016

-
I thought I would do a quick post on the products I've used up over the last few months.  I am back on my spending ban for a couple of months so it's giving me the chance to shop my stash as they say.
Schwarzkopf Q10 Plus BC Bonacure Hairtherapy Time Restore Satin Spray - I didn't notice any real benefit from using this product so not one I would repurchase.
St Tropez Gradual Tan In Shower Tanning Lotion - I like the idea of this product but it didn't work at all so definitely wouldn't repurchase.
Percy & Reed No Oil Oil for Thick Hair - This is a nice enough serum, but I probably would not chose it over my favourite Frizz Ease serum.
The Body Shop Japanese Cherry Blossom Fragrance Mist - Japanese Cherry Blossom is one of my favourite fragrances and I love this version by The Body Shop as it's a light floral fragrance that's great for summer.  I would definitely repurchase this although as usual I have to use up all my other body sprays first which probably means I won't need to buy any more for another 5 years.
Ole Henriksen The Clean Truth Cleansing Cloths Brightening - These are nice cleansing wipes, but a little expensive at £12 for a full size pack, so I would not buy them unless there was a really good offer.
    
Sachajuan Scalp Shampoo - I bought this as I was suffering from an itchy scalp at the time and it did provide some relief, so I would buy it again if I had the same problem.
Ole Henriksen Invigorating Night Gel - I wasn't keen on this product.  I didn't like the gel consistency and the smell was abit off putting.  I wouldn't repurchase as I didn't notice any benefit to my skin.
Bath & Body Works PocketBac Pumpkin Cupcake Anti-Bacterial Hand Gel - I love these hand gels, they have so many lovely fragrances and they don't take up loads of room in my bag. This one has a sweet baking smell (does that make sense) just like you have some cakes baking in the oven.  These are on my must buy list whenever I visit the US.  Depending on the time of year they offer different fragrances.  I got these around Halloween.
Superdrug Optimum Phyto Deluxe Comforting Night Cream* - Read my review of this product here. 
Youth To The People Kale & Green Tea Spinach Vitamins Age Prevention Cleanser - Read my review of this product here.
Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire Velvet Body Milk - I love this perfume fragrance, but I would only buy the body milk as part of a box set.
Kneipp Herbal Bath Stress Free Mandarin & Orange - This product smells absolutely gorgeous in the bottle but once it's diluted in a bath it doesn't really hold its smell so not something I would be bothered about using again.

I bought these products with my own money  unless * where I received it free but the opinions are my own.

Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer Review - Bobbi Brown Dupe

-

**Reposted as the Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer is  currently reduced to £2.50 from £4.50. I picked up the Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer because it looked like it was a dupe for the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base. The Primark version costs £4.50 for 45ml and the Bobbi Brown Face Base costs £48.50 for 50ml, so there is quite a price difference.   I had always wanted to try out the Bobbi Brown product, so when I received a mini version in a gift with purchase goody bag I was really excited to try it out, but I have to say I was somewhat underwhelmed.  I have quite dry skin and the face base did not have as much slip as I was expecting, so it didn't feel smooth when I applied my foundation. For the price I was expecting to love it way more than I did. It does have a lovely lemon smell which I really enjoy, where as the Primark version doesn't really have a fragrance.  Overall, I actually preferred the Primark version as it is thicker and it ma

I have wanted to get an LED Mask for ages but with prices for some of them at over £400 I just haven't been able to pull the trigger and buy one yet. So when I saw the LED Light Mask in Primark for £15 I just had to try it out.  The Primark version targets 3 different skin concerns with 3 different types of light sources. Red Light - Use for Anti-Aging benefits by helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles Blue Light - Helps to remove acne causing bacteria and reduce skin  inflammation Yellow Light - Helps to improve rough skin, reduces appearance of wrinkles and skin redness To use you cleanse your face and apply soothing and hydrating products.  You can use with face cream, eye cream, facial mask, eye mask, essence, toner etc.  Press the button for 2 seconds to turn on and press again until the LED light that you want to use appears.  You then use it for 10-20 minutes.  It does advise that in case of sensitivity to use with your eyes closed.  After use switch

Aldi Lacura Vitabase Moisturising Primer Review - Bobbi Brown Dupe

-

I managed to get my hands on the newly released Lacura Vitabase Moisturising Primer from Aldi which is supposed to be a dupe of the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base. It costs £5.99 for 50ml whereas the Bobbi Brown product costs £48.50 for 50ml. That's a big difference especially at times like these when every penny counts. The big question - is it any good? I actually really enjoyed using this primer. I have dry skin and this thick creamy primer really suited my skin. It contains vitamin c, vitamin b, vitamin e, shea butter, sodium hyaluronate & geranium oil and I found it very hydrating on my skin and it provided a great base for my makeup. My makeup stayed on all day and didn't go patchy or dry. It also has a fresh grapefruit and geranium scent which is really refreshing, but don't worry its not an overpowering smell. If you have dry skin I really recommend this product. It looks like its only available in store, so be quick as I'm not sure how long it will
