First ever empties post, let’s get started!
What I want from my mascara is -curling power and volume. This one did both. The curved bristle head didn’t make any difference to me. I think I prefer the straight ones. There is an option to have it waterproof. Mine was waterproof So yes, it takes effort to take this stuff off. In the end, it does the job. There are so many others to try, I don’t see myself picking up this one anytime soon.
Simple Regeneration Age Resisting Eye Cream
This was lovely to use. Light, creamy and absorbs quickly. It is unfragranced and has no artificial colouring. I don’t have wrinkles around my eyes (yet!) but I like to use something that has anti-aging ingredients (maybe it’s working?).
I have a love-hate relationship with this cream. The formulation is lovely. The cream is slightly blue in color. Although in most lighting it looks white and certainly doesn’t show on the face. It absorbs very quickly and leaves the skin moisturized without any grease. It’s not moisturizing enough for me (with combination skin) specially in Autumn/winter. It didn’t make much difference to dry patches on my skin, mainly forehead and around the mouth area. On the flip side, this worked well when I lived in India. The weather, even in winters is much warmer than England. So depending on where you live, this might work or not at all. I used it all the throughout summer. The fragrance is that sea-salty, Epsom-salt like. Personally, I don’t like it. This might be excellent for someone with oily skin.
Soap & Glory -Scrub ’em and leave ’em -Body Buff
It’s all about the scent. Soap & Glory smells amazing!
This salt scrub is scented with ”Mist Your Madly’s” ..not the best scent, but the formulation is definitely one of my favorites. Basically, you use it as a scrub, wash it out and don’t worry about moisturizing after. I have said this before and will say it again..Anything that saves an extra minute in the shower is a winning product for me!
This is likely the best dry shampoo I have used. The mist is fine and sheer white. I have dark brown hair, and the powder disappears after rubbing it in. I actually prefer this one over Batiste Original, which comes out slightly opaque white. I assume they come in 6 ”forces” …Mine was in Force 1. The number determines how strong the hold is. Although, I have never come across fresh dust in any other forces. The scent is hard to describe but it’s good. Think fresh, light.. mix of floral and talc. Hope that’s helpful 😛
This is a heat protection spray that you use before styling hair with hot tools. It does the job. The bottle is nice and sturdy, good to travel with. It has a little lock switch that prevents leakage.
The only problem I had with this is, if sprayed too much, it weighs the hair down. On the flip side, it might work to achieve a poker-straight, sleek hair-look.
It’s plain, to me it did nothing. I have been expecting more from a toner, since I got the Loreal’s Refreshing one.
This was one of my favorite moisturizers. I have occasional bouts of redness/breakouts..and that’s when I go to this one. It doesn’t irritate my skin, it’s moisturing without leaving any residue. Read about it in brief here. Available at Amazon. I have used this over the 6 months period max usage mentioned on the tube, unknowingly. It didn’t feel any different and seems to work just as well. Better safe than sorry though! I am throwing it out now 🙂
Loreal Elvive Full Restore Conditioner
It’s meant to increase shine of the hair and it does that. I always thought the shine-inducing products were just marketing strategy. Not a fan of the fragrance but hey, it works!
i love both those soap and glory products! i used to love simple skincare too, but for some reason my skin just doesnt seem to agree with it any more! id love it if youd comment back http://www.amyelizabethfashion.com/2014/11/uk-blog-awards-and-london-dolls-giveaway.html xx
