Nourish Refining Toning Mist – A toner to balance
oily/combination skin. Worked fairly well unfortunately the combination of
apple and pear extracts made it smell like baby food to me so not one that I
will be using again.
Yes to Carrots Body Butter – A super rich body cream that
uses carrot extract to smooth and soothe dry skin. Worked for me during the
Winter but would not be suitable for my skin during the warmer months. Detailed
review here.
Collagen Mask Pack x2 – My last two masks! It feels like
I've been using these weekly (trying to, anyway!) for about 5 months. I love
how refreshed my face feels after, a real boost of hydration.
Dr.Organics Moroccan Argan Oil Restorative Treatment – I've
been trying to use this up since August last year. I'm not sure how I feel about
the ingredients but I can’t fault how soft and manageable it made my hair. Not
one to buy again though.
Avril Mascara – This is my second Avril mascara and I
have already got another one ready to take over. I think this mascara is brilliant. It’s got a
great brush and while I don’t get too much length, it is perfect for day time
and can be layered for volume for occasions.
Savonnerie French Lavender Body Lotion – I feel like this
lotion lasted months as I only needed a small amount. Beautifully scented with
French Lavender, Geranium and Bergamot. A winning combination in my books. Would
happily use this again. Full review here.
Balance Me Super Toning Body Wash* – A nice enough body wash but I didn't feel any of the toning benefits. I wouldn't rush to use this again.
Balance Me Super Toning Body Cream* – While I didn't feel that it toned my skin, this was only a small size. I think using a full sized cream though, for longer, it might actually live up to the toning claims. My review of both these Balance Me products can be found here.
Bodhi Rosemary Chi Body Moisturiser - I wasn't really keen on the scent to be honest. I've used it up though and as a moisturiser it worked well. I'm not sure what it was about the scent but it wasn't for me. Sadly not one that I would buy again.
Bodhi Ylang-Ylang Body Moisturiser – This on the other hand, was lovely to use. I will have to pick up the full size and body wash too as I loved this scent.
Moa The Green Balm – A great little multi-purpose balm that I mainly used for removing eye make-up. I love balms but I have a few to use up before I buy any more.
Urban Veda Facial Polish – I really liked using this facial polish and Urban Veda is a brand I must try more from. This was from the oily/combo skin range (perfect for me) and I am currently using a sample of the day cream, also from the same range. Both were from a SoukSouk box.
REN Day Cream – Another day cream that I wasn't really overwhelmed with. I just don’t think it suited my skin as while using it my face got shinier as the day went on. This didn't happen as much before or after using this product.
I love reading your empties post so send me your links!

You used up a lot of body moisturizers! I like the sound of the Savonnerie French Lavender Body Lotion, the clean packaging gets me too. :D

Hi Louise, thanks for following and taking the time to comment! You should check out the range from Bodhi - it's a fantastic brand with a great team behind the name. xx
DeleteGirl, you've used up so many products! I love it! I was going to say that I loved the packaging of Nourish, that alone made me want to buy it until you said that it smelt like baby food! haha
ReplyDeleteYeah, I wont be using that toner again haha! x
DeleteSome hits and misses by the looks of it. I'm use the Nourish Lavender toner but I can see why apples & pears might remind you of baby food, that did make laugh :-)
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to use up all my smaller sized products so I can focus on products that I can use long term; I'm almost there now but I have just picked up the ABW Sampler box haha
DeleteLovely bunch of empties! I'm really loving the Dr. Organic Argan Oil Hair treatment xx
