Empties, while not the most unique post idea, are one of my
favourite blog posts to read. I love to hear what products my favourite
bloggers have used up, I feel like it’s a good indication of a good product.
I've kept all these products for a number of reasons, firstly I'm a bit of a
recycler. DIY toners and pillow sprays all require a little sprayer bottle.
Secondly, Jurlique do an awesome return program where if you return your empty
tubes or bottles, they give you 10% off the same product. Finally, I've kept
all these products in hope of writing one of these posts. I've got some body
bits and some skincare, but no makeup. Does anyone else find makeup impossible
to use up?
Starting off with the body bits, I've finished up the Jurlique
Jasmine Shower Gel and Body Care Lotion. A lovely sent and a lovely product. Both of
these lasted me a whole year before I needed to replace them. I'll eventually
repurchase these but I'm currently working my way through the Citrus versions.
A couple of toners were next to go, the Jurlique Herbal Recovery Mist and the Trilogy Hydrating Mist Toner. Both of these were OK, I am holding
off a repurchase of both of these, I'm looking into trying the new Jurlique Calendula Redness Rescue Calming Mist next.
Bioderma reigns as the favourite makeup remover and a repurchase is about to happen. Makeup and sunscreen glides off like no other with a cotton wipe drenched in this cleansing water. Although Priceline now stocks Bioderma, it’s near impossible to get a bottle because it’s always out of stock. If I'm out of luck I'll have to resort to ordering it online.
I've also used up the Jurlique Herbal Recovery Eye Cream and
repurchased another in a Christmas box set. A lovely product which keeps
dryness at bay whilst also preventing fine lines from developing.
Two spot treatments have also been used up, the Aesop Control Gel and the Origins Super Spot Remover. The Aesop worked fantastically with my skin, quickly removing all spots. I suspect that it’s the Niacinamide because I had such good results with the Jurlique Herbal Recovery Advanced Serum which also uses Niacinamide. The Origins however I found a bit useless. I'll repurchase the Aesop soon, but not the Origins.
Finally, some moisturising bits. The first to go was the Jurlique Herbal Recovery Advanced Serum, which I've sung praises to here. I've since repurchased in
the 100ml bottle, it’s that good. My favourite daily moisturiser, the GrownOrganics Matte Moisturiser was also finished off recently. The perfect product
for me, moisturising yet mattifying and smoothing to provide a perfect canvas
for makeup.
What products
have you finished off recently?
