August Empties

-
I did really well finishing up products in August.  I made a concerted effort to only use products that had already been opened and were half empty and heres the results.
 
 


 Obviously, there is quite a lot, so I think I will highlight the products that really impressed me and some of the ones that just did not do it for me at all.
 
Tidmans Soothing Seasalt Bathing Crystals - This is great to use when you have sensitive skin
 
Bath & Body Works Fragrance Mist  in Twilight Woods - Top Notes: Juicy Berry, Sparkling Mandarin, Coconut - I love this frangrance and will pick up more next time I am in America
 
S5 Nourish Cleanser - gentle oil-based balm for normal to dry skin - this works really well at removing my makeup and cleansing my skin
 
Clinique Moisture Surge Gel - I love this gel as it really keeps my skin moisturised and works really well under foundation.  I got this free with Glamour Magazine and it was worth £18 so a great bargain.
 
Sally Hansen Strengthening Polish Remover - this is great for removing polish quickly, but didn't seem to improve the strength of my nails.
 
Charles Worthington Intense Rescue Melting Balm - this works great on my dry frizzy hair.
 
The Body Shop Ginger Anti-dandruff shampoo - this works great when I have a dry sensitive scalp
 
b/attitude Body Souffle - I received this in a beauty box, but it has a really strong smell so I would not repurchase
 
Vivienne Westwood Naughty Alice Perfume - I love this fragrance and already have another one in my stash.
 
Bumble and bumble Bb defrizz Serum - This is no better or worse than Frizz Ease which is cheaper so I won't repurchase
 
Taaj Ayurveda Hand Cream - another one from a beauty box, this is not particularly moisturising, so I won't repurchase
 
Bamford Botanic Bath Oil Geranium - this was from a beauty box and is a great fragrance for a relaxing bath. 
 
Wen Sweet Almond Mint Cleansing Conditioner - this was also from a beauty box.  This is a conditioner that does not need to be used with a shampoo.  Its a great idea, but was not conditioning enough for my dry hair.
 
I was really pleased with how many products I managed to finish last month and I am really going to try my best to finish loads more products in September.

Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer Review - Bobbi Brown Dupe

-
Image
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 made for a better base for my foundation. It also seemed to be more hydrating. I have definitely reached mor

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.
