Empties August 2017

-
Here are the products that I have managed to finish in the last few months.  You can read my last empties post here.

Phyto Phytolisse Perfecting Smoothing Shampoo - didn't do much for my curly hair.
Elemis Frangipani Monoi Bath & Shower Nectar - this was nice and I would buy it again if there is another QVC TSV.
Clinique Moisture Surge Face Spray - It's quite expensive for a face mist, but I love moisture surge products so I would probably buy this again as it left my face feeling hydrated.
Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen, Grow & Restore Leave-In Conditioner - I love Shea Moisture products as they are great for my curly hair.  I wrote a review of this product here.
First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Pads - Didn't have any noticeable effect on my skin.
Vivienne Westwood Naughty Alice Velvet Body Veil - I love the perfume, so I would happily get this again if it came in a set.
Skin Republic Collagen Infusion Face Mask Sheet - As nice as any other sheet mask that I have used.
7th Heaven Soften Sock*  - Very reasonably priced and left my feet feeling nicely moisturised.
Fan di Fendi EDP - This was a nice perfume that I would happily buy again.
Clarins Toning Lotion - Nothing special.
SK-II Facial Treatment Essence - I really do not know what an essence is supposed to do for your skin as I did not see any noticeable difference after using this one.  It's an expensive one as well, so definitely will not repurchase.
Moroccanoil Treatment - Didn't really improve my hair.
Emma Hardie Moringa Cleansing Balm - A very nice, if expensive balm. 
PeterThomasRoth Max Sheer All Day Moisture Defense Lotion SPF30 - Nice and thin for an SPF.
Studio 10 Miracle Effect Firming Lotion - Glad I got this sample in a beauty box as this is an expensive product and it did nothing for me.
Bath & Body Works Lifes A Beach PocketBac - I love these hand sanitisers.
Baija Moana Cream Tiare Flower  - This was a body lotion, but again nothing much to say about it good or bad, so would not repurchase.
Clarins Instant Eye Makeup Remover - This works really well to remove eye makeup and especially mascara without having to scrub the delicate eye area.
Elemis Frangipani Monoi Hand & Nail Cream - This was a lovely hand cream.
Trilogy Rosehip Cream Cleanser & Vital Moisturising Cream* - I liked both of these as they were gentle on my skin.  I wrote a review here.

L'Oréal Elvive Extraordinary Oil Low Shampoo - I am a big fan of these cleansing shampoos as I find normal shampoos make my curly hair very knotty.
L'Occitane One Minute Hand Scrub  - I bought this after having a hand massage at a L'Occitane store.  It's a genuinely lovely product, but I am just too lazy to make it part of my routine.
Ishga Scottish Seaweed Exfoliating Face Mask - This was a nice mask which exfoliates the skin, but I wasn't fond of the smell.  Here's my review.
Urban Veda Turmeric + Botanics Radiance Day Cream - Nothing good or bad to say about this one.
Juicy Couture Viva L Juicy  EDP - This is a lovely summer fruity fragrance.
Doux Me Pure Spring Water Spray - I like face mists so this one was easy to use, but I would not go out of my way to buy it again.
Nuxe Prodigieux Le Parfum - Love, love, love this perfume, it reminds me of holidays for some reason.
AromaWorks Serenity Body Oil sample - This sample was so tiny, I don't have a view of it one way or the other.
Replica Lazy Sunday Morning Maison Martin Margiela EDT sample - I genuinely cant remember how this smelled, so I guess it did not make a favourable impression on me.
Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish - This is a staple in my skincare routine and I have more in my stash.
Tarte Tarteguard 30 Sunscreen Lotion SPF30 - I probably would not buy this again.  Nothing wrong with it but I have other SPFs that I prefer.
Perricone MD No Foundation Foundation - I am a big fan of lightweight tinted creams so I loved this.
PeterThomasRoth Max Sheer All Day Moisture Defense Lotion SPF30 - This was the 2nd deluxe sample of this product that I finished.
Balance Me BB Natural Perfection with SPF25 - I reviewed this product here.
No7 Lift & Luminate Triple Action Serum* - I didn't really notice any change to my skin after using this serum.
SBC Propolis Skincare Gel - This was the first time I used an SBC product and it was a great price from a QVC TSV, so I would buy it again if there was a similar offer.

I bought these products with my own money unless marked * which I received free to review 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
