This is my first empties post; I've never done it before because I don't finish stuff that quickly - especially if I'm trying new products and I have a few on the go - but it seems to be a very popular type of post... and if people enjoy them, I'm happy to start writing them! :)
I can't guarantee that I'll be able to produce a post every month, more likely every couple... but I'm, definitely, started keeping track of my empty bottles - especially since I really want to finish things up now (I have no more space!!!)

Figs & Rouge Balm 100% organic in Sweet Geranium: I got this in a beauty box months ago; been mainly using it as a cuticle treatment, before bedtime. Not particularly impressed as it's very oily (hence why I've only been using it before bedtime); also, not used as a lip balm as I really dislike the smell.
Repurchase: maybe because the tins are cute... but in another scent.
L'oreal Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Fresh Feel Gel: actually, I don't use self-tan regularly - let's say 2/3 times, in the summer, before an holiday or a special event.
I still got a bit left of this but it's 2 years old, I believe, and I know I won't be using it in the coming weeks. This one was pretty good - gel is very fresh on the skin and it develops in a nice subtle brown colour; it does smell a bit of biscuits but I'm not bothered by that. Good price too.
Repurchase: maybe.
Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser: all time favourite - definitely a staple for me and many others... I know you have read endless reviews about this cleanser so I just refer you my original review as my opinion hasn't changed.
Repurchase: already have a back up :)
Clinique Sparkle Skin Body Exfoliating Cream: this was ok - I wasn't blown away... it has the tipical clinique non-smell but with a hint of mint. Consistency is towards a mild scrub: very creamy with not enough beads, in my opinion.
Repurchase: probably not, I can get better scrubs AND cheaper (plus, I think it's discontinued now).
Kiehl's Abyssine Cream: I LOOOOVE this cream! Honestly, what a great performer!
I saw such an improvement in the texture of my skin in a matter of days.
It looks thick in the jar but it absorbs beautifully in the skin and you don't feel it at all.
Also, you need a tiny amount.
Repurchase: Most definitely yes! And it really makes me want to try more from this brand.
Avon Anew Clinical Lift and Tuck - Professional Body Shaper: I always use anti-cellulite or firming creams on my body - twice daily. I do think (some of them) make a difference... but you really need to be consistent because as soon as you stop with your routine, the dreadful bumps return. :(
Anyways, this product was useless! It's a shame as I liked the consistency: easily absorbed and smells quite nice too.
Repurchase: nope.
So, that's it for now... please, let me know if you think I should continue with the empties posts.
Many Thanks!! :)

Yes you should continue with these posts. I really like them.
ReplyDeleteThe Kiehl's cream sounds so nice. I am just finishing my Kiehl's midnight recovery eye cream & think I will try this next.
oh, I'm definitely adding the eye cream to my list... thanks for the suggestion! :)
DeleteI love these posts - I love seeing what products people are actually using up and then whether they'd repurchase or not. I think it's partly becasue so many people are getting free things and doing immediate reviews, I'm starting to really prefer these posts and favourites posts as I think it's a more in depth feel of a product.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean... if many people like it, it's bound to be a good product, right?! :)
DeleteThis post just made me wanna purchase the Kiehl's Abyssine Cream! haha :) xx

I love reading empties posts! I've nearly finished up my Figs & Rouge balm but agree that it's definitely one to use before bedtime xx

yeah, I'm not convinced... there are definitely better ones on the market, i reckon. xx
DeleteI love Kiehls! I was considering buying that lip balm but I definitely don't think I will now, oilyness is never my friend! x
ReplyDeleteI will stay clear of the balm, then... sorry :( x
DeleteI wish I could get my hands on the Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish, I keep hearing raves about it but it's not available where I live :( I'd love to try more Kiehl's skin care as well, but it's so pricey!
ReplyDeletewhat a shame :( it is truly brilliant... hopefully they will start to stock it up near you soon...
