This month I haven't managed to use as many products up as I would've liked to but here we go:
Lush 'The Enchanter' bath bomb.
I LOVED this bath bomb. Once popped into the bath the Orange yellow colour started to melt away, turning bright shades of yellow and fizzing away. It then revealed its inner core which was an amazing shade of fuchsia. The bomb fizzed away for a while and I jumped in all excited ... only to discover the colours transfered onto my skin! It did disappear after a while but it did stain the bath. Thank god for the good old bleach bottle. This was a limited edition bomb so I may repurchase next year but I cant help feel that they are sometimes a waste of money.
Lush 'Cinders' bath bomb.
This was another limited edition bath bomb from Lush but this one did not impress me in any sense. It was slightly smaller in size up to the rest of the range and really didn't do much. I was told by the sales assistant it had popping candy in it which got me really excited ... it wasn't enough. It popped away for about 20 seconds and then just fizzled out. Its light yellow colour didn't transfer to the bath either ... it was pretty much a waste of time and money. I would not repurchase this item.
Body Shop's 'Earth Lovers' shower gel in 'Apricot and Basil'.
The title of the shower gel really caught my eye, it sounds like such a strange combination. It's a lovely fresh fragrance that lathers up really nicely. I felt like I had to use quite a lot of the product though to get clean and at £5-£6 pounds a pop for a bottle I wasn't really too happy at how quickly I managed to use it up. I would repurchase this if I feel like treating myself or have a Body Shop voucher for money off.
Body Shop's 'Coconut Body Scrub'.
I love body scrub products from any retail shop but this really was a lovely scrub to use. It had the right amount of grains in it to really scrub off any dead skin. I also really liked using this product on my legs before shaving, It helped to exfoliate the skin and help make my legs really smooth. I would defiantly repurchase this product, in fact I have just purchased the Mango version.
Super Facialist Tea Flower mask by Una Brennan.
This is now my favourite product to reach to when my skin isn't having such a good day. It really draws out all the impurities and makes my skin bright and smooth. I would totally recommend this product to absolutely anybody who has trouble with breakouts, it really does help the skin and after using it for over 2 weeks, my skin has improved so much. For £8.99 for the tube it isn't the cheapest of products but you should only be using it 2-3 times a week. I will be repurchasing this and this will become my new go to product.
No7 Cleansing Water.
I had heard lots of hype about cleansing waters so when I saw this product I just had to buy it and try it for myself. Its quite a nice product to use, it rids most makeup from the face but I don't feel its any good for eye makeup. I had to use a separate remover for my eye makeup and I had to use toner after to make sure my face was rid of all makeup. Its quite a refreshing product to use before putting makeup on in the morning but I am not too sure about it for removing makeup. I don't think this would be a product I'd looking at repurchasing just because I don't feel I need a cleanser just for the morning.
Ultrabland facial cleanser from Lush.
I have done various reviews on this product, it is still one of my go to products to get rid of makeup. I like using this before putting on my face mask. The oily texture can sometimes be a little annoying as you worry it will make your face breakout if you have not got it all off of the face but using a product after gives me a little bit more confidence when using this. I would recommend this to anyone who uses a few layers of makeup to cover breakouts or spots. Its also gentle enough to use on the eyes and removes even waterproof mascara. I would repurchase this but I am currently testing out Body Shop's gel version.
Cupcake face mask from Lush
I am a total face mask lover, I love the feeling after using one of my skin being refreshed and squeaky clean. This mask in particular is good if you have a slightly oily texture to the skin which can cause those horrible breakouts. It also contains mint/spearmint which is really tingly on the skin, it refreshes the skin and helps to clear off any dirt and makeup. The only down side is that it lasts about 3-4 weeks and has to be put in the refrigerator, however I will repurchase this product.
BB Seaweed face mask from Lush
I really did NOT like this product. I felt the seaweed bits inside the mask were unnecessary and didn't help in any sense towards what the mask did for my skin. I also just didn't really feel like it did anything for my skin. I think its meant to be a detoxing mask but I just didn't get anything out of it. I would not repurchase this, even though I have a large love of face masks.
No7 Stay Perfect foundation in Cool Vanilla.
I had the skin match done by one of the sales assistants and although she said I showed up as the lightest shade I was recommend this slightly darker one to match my neck and chest more (apparently its slightly darker than the skin on my face) I love this foundation. Its not as long lasting as I would like but the colour match is amazing. I will be repurchasing this as the amount of foundations I have bought and not had any luck with is just ridiculous. I would recommend anyone who has trouble in finding a colour match to go along and ask for help. It really does work!
Herbal Essences Hair mask.
I over dye my hair far too much and sometimes feel like I need a helping hand in getting it into better condition. I saw this product on a 1/3 off promotion and hoped it would help. I really didn't like this product, it made my hair feel greasy and not really conditioned at all. It was strangely light blue in colour also which I wasn't expecting, I feel like it was far too hyped up to be something that actually works and I was right. I don't think any of these sort of products really work for the hair, they just mask the condition of the hair and make you want to buy more of it.
Well that's my empties for November! Have you use any of the products? What have you tried to use up this month?
