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.

Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer Review - Bobbi Brown Dupe

-

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.
