Binned Things November 2015!
Ah, yes, the good old empties! Obviously running a little late, but better late than never, right? Be prepared for a bit of a bumper pack, considering that I still haven't gotten around to doing the December ones!
1) Listerine Total Care Mouthwash - Staple!
Repurchase? Always
Repurchase? Always
2) In Essence Sleep Easy Spray - I have to say, I think this really did help me sleep better. I kinda miss it now that I don't have one.
Repurchase? Yes!
Repurchase? Yes!
3) Models Prefer Brightening Primer - I quite liked this primer! I thought it did brighten up my skin
Repurchase? Yes
Repurchase? Yes
4) Vaseline Aloe Fresh Moisturiser - A great moisturiser with a lovely scent. Vaseline certainly does a lot of things right!
Repurchase? Yes
Repurchase? Yes
5) Rosehip by Essano Hand Creme - Great packaging, but honestly, not my favourite hand cream. I found this to be not as moisturising as ideal, and the consistency was both thin and waxy. See further review here.
Repurchase? No
6) Natio Body Scrub - I bought this as something new to try from Natio, and I have to say, it's not my cup of tea. It's a little sticky, and I found the gritty bits to be a little too fine. It's quite pretty decent pomegranate-y scent, though!
Repurchase? No
7) Natura Siberica Obleipikha and Honey Body Scrub - You HAVE to try this for yourself! See full review here.
Repurchase? Yes!
8) Dermalogica Daily Microexfoliant - I really like this scrub in that it was nice and gentle on my skin, but what I didn't appreciate was how easily the opening of the container got clogged up with clumped microexfoliant!
Repurchase? Maybe
9) Antipodes Apostle Skin Brightening Serum - Not the most magnificent serum ever, but really quite lovely on the skin, with a slightly sweet scent to it.
Repurchase? Yes
10) Soap & Glory Hand Food - A pretty pleasant hand cream from a well marketed brand. I'd use another one in a heartbeat.
Repurchase? Yes
11) Dove Clinical Protection Antiperspirant - If there were a zombie apocalypse, Imma grab about 10 of these before driving off.
Repurchase? YES!
12) Schwarzkopf Push-Up Volume Lotion - When I first used this, I was a little heavy handed with it., and it got sticky. I did try it again and it's actually quite ok. It's not too bad, but I left it for too long and it got quite old.
Repurchase? Maybe
13) Rodial Super Acids Extreme Hangover Mask - I liked using this one for that light tingly feel on the skin. See here for a bit more of a review.
Repurchase? Likely
14) The Face Shop Character Mask (Tiger) - A bit of a fun one! I posted a shot of me wearing this on Instagram a while back. It's not particularly spectacular on the skin, but it's not bad, and it's cute!
Repurchase? For the novelty!
15) Etude House I Need You, Lemon! Face Mask - Brightening and refreshing! I liked this one!
Repurchase? Yes
16) Etude House I Need You, Mango! Face Mask - I found this to be quite soothing on the skin.
Repurchase? Likely
17) Woolworths Select Make up Pads - Love them! Accidentally ran out of them recently, and I was really confused! I thought I had tons of them!
Repurchase? Yes!
18) Ole Henriksen Fresh Start Eye Cream - This didn't do much for dark eye bags, but I thought it did reduce a bit of the swelling.
Repurchase? Yes
19) Lush Happy Hippy Shower Gel - Refreshing and grapefruity! It's a very happy shower gel indeed.
Repurchase? Yes
20) Philosophy Hands of Hope Hand Cream - See review here. A hand cream I wouldn't mind getting more of!
Repurchase? Likely
21) L'Oreal Pro Fiber Recharge Monodoses - I really enjoyed using this range of haircare! See more about the range here.
Repurchase?
22) Dr Morita Face Mask - This mask was a fun facial sheet, but nothing amazing happened.
Repurchase? No
23) L'Occitane Roses et Reines Hand Cream - Gorgeous rose scented hand cream by L'Occinate! A serious 'what's not to like?' with this one!
Repurchase? Yes
24) Simple Eye Make-Up Corrector Pen - This grew stuff on the tip! I didn't think this was very easy to use and things just got a little smeary.
Repurchase? No
25) Lush Nightwing Shower Jelly - A fun limited edition shower jelly! Zesty and in the shape of a batwing!
Repurchase? Yes
26) Milani Brow Tint Pen - This did not work for me at all! It just didn't come off onto the skin and it wasn't what I thought it'd be.
Repurchase? No
That La Roche Posay makeup remover is awesome! Also, I enjoyed using that Philosophy serum - I would love to try a full sized bottle of that.
And that's everything I used up in November! Now hold on tight, because there are tons more of the good old empties to come!
Another amazing lot of empties!!! I've only tried a couple of products from dermalogica, positive impressions so far.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried heaps from them, but my husband does like their overnight clearing gel!
DeleteLush Happy Hippy is my equal fave shower gel with rose Jam! I really want to try the Natura Siberica Honey Body Scrub now , sounds divine!
ReplyDeleteI think that I've always skimmed over it due to the name, but it's really quite a great shower gel!
DeleteI know what you mean with the microfoliant clogging in the top.
ReplyDeleteJust felt like a bit of a waste!
DeleteI've been wondering about that Rodial mask! Would love to try it.
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely worth a try!
DeleteI didn't find the Skin Brightening serum to do much for me but I love the consistency of it. I haven't used Happy Hippy in such a long time but my fave scent is The Olive Branch. Maybe you can kill the zombies by rolling the deo all over them???! lol
ReplyDeletexo Kat @ Katness
Haha! I haven't tried Olive Branch before. Sounds like I might have to give it a go.
DeleteI'm envious of how much you're able to finish! I haven't tried anything here, but I have considered getting that Dermalogica microfoliant in the past.
ReplyDeleteHaha! Doing empties posts is so good for me, because I'm suuuuuuccccchhhhh a hoarder otherwise!
DeleteYou've done amazing! And those Woolworths cotton pads are amazing. I always buy them as they're better than any other brand around.
ReplyDeleteSo true about the pads!
DeleteWhoaaaaaa your empties are huge bahahaha. I feel like I never use up that amount of stuff!
ReplyDeleteHow good are those sheet masks from Etude House? I grabbed a few when I went to Japan a few years ago and now wishing I had grabbed wayyyyy more! So cheap too! xx

I have a surplus that I'm currently running through!
DeleteOh my goodness, thats an impressive empties list! I love that you hold your personal hygiene higher than say canned goods, bottled water, matches and whatever we need to kill the zombies! I'll be your tent-mate if there's a zombie invasion! You grab some extras for me and I'll grab all the other non-essentials i listed above lol xx
ReplyDeleteHaha! You're on!
DeleteDAMN that's a giant empties! I'm such a Philosophy fan, I'll be trying out the No Reason to Hide serum soon as I have a small sample lying around somewhere :P Love the roundup of handcreams you finished off :)
