I’ve been mentioning in different posts and on Instagram about my
recent challenge to try not to buy beauty products so I thought I would gather
a few of the products I have bought and give a little update as to how I’m getting on! I’ve been
calling it a try not to buy as well because the word ban would have the reverse
effect on me!
I started this just before Christmas and you will have seen my last big
beauty purchase before trying not to buy anything last week with my custom ABH palette! This was a guilt free long time coming purchase as the single eyeshadows
had been on my wishlist for the longest time!
Anyway, long story short, aside from being a spendaholic when it comes
to beauty products, my hours at work have recently changed so I knew I would
need to tighten the purse strings. I had been covering maternity leave for a
woman and she came back a couple of weeks ago but wanted to job share so I’m
still doing the same job just working part time now instead of full time. I
knew it was coming and I’m still getting used to it, having days off is the
best but I know I won’t be saying that when I see my pay at the end of the
month!
I also started the process of applying for my Canadian visa/work permit
late last year and it came through last month so I have a year to move to Canada
and I will be spending my spare time researching and planning for that. I’ve
always wanted to try living somewhere new and I know I won’t be able to job
share forever so it seems like a good time to
try it!
Ok, this is turning into more of an update/lifestyle post than I meant
it to but basically, every year I am guilty of buying discounted gift sets and
products in the sales so I thought late December was a good time to start
trying not to buy. While it’s all well and good getting a bargain when you are
a beauty addict, with boxes and drawers filled with new, unopened or back up
products, buying more is pretty pointless when you are barely getting through
what you already have and planning a potential move when you won’t be able to
take it with you!
So, instead of snapping up the half price Soap and Glory Christmas sets
(not necessary when you still have backups of backups from last year) or spending
Boxing Day in the online Lush sale queue, I put my bank card down and man oh
man do I feel all the better for it. I give into my greed way too easily; I
can’t believe I haven’t taken this approach before. As you will see, I have
bought some things but it’s nowhere near as much as usual and I don’t feel
guilty for buying them!
This was my first beauty purchase of 2017. I had a £15 Cult Beauty gift
card that I had received in my last GWP and although it wasn’t due to run out
to the end of January, I’ll admit, I wanted new makeup to play with! I went
with Secret Salma in the end, a Matte Revolution formulation which I hadn’t tried
before - a fact made all the sweeter that I didn’t have to part with the full
£23 myself (now increased to £24)! I ended up having to pay delivery with this
too which I usually refuse to do (I will buy things until I reach the threshold
for free delivery!). I’m so glad I have it in my collection now though, it’s a
beautiful deep plum/pink shade that is long lasting and though it’s the CT
matte formulation, it feels hydrating and doesn’t exaggerate any dry patches I
have on my lips!
This lipstick shade had been on my wishlist for the longest time so I
had been exercising self-control over this for quite a while already before
getting my hands on it! I was planning on waiting for my Boots points to pile
up to buy this but my Godson (or more likely my aunt!) got me a Boots gift card
for Christmas so after unsuccessfully trying to use it online (who knew they
don’t accept them?) I finally got my hands on this when I got to a big Boots. It doesn’t disappoint either - it’s the most perfect pinky/berry toned creamy
lipstick that wears off evenly and leaves a gorgeous stain! I had tried the
formula before and you can see my review and some more swatches of other shades here!
I did cave completely when I saw this and had it ordered as soon as I
got the email landed in my inbox but how could I not! Pillowtalk is my
favourite lipliner so the matching lipstick had to be mine and the fact its
limited edition meant it had to mine right now! Again, it’s the matte
revolution formula and it’s a beautiful muted pinky nude with a hint of brown.
I’d say the lipliner has a hint more mauve to it but I know I will get so much
wear out of this!
l-r: Smashbox My Digits, Charlotte Tilbury Secret Salma, Pillowtalk
Large Z Palatte
You might have seen a few posts on my Instagram about me depotting my
Benefit blush palette. I never reached for it because the packaging was so
bulky so I spent £17.50 (I don’t remember them being so dear!) on a new Z
palette to pop them into! I know not everyone is a fan of Z palettes and they
definitely are an expensive option for what is basically a card and a magnet
but I love that you can see inside them and the sticky metal magnets that come
included to stick on pans are so handy for covering the glue that sometimes remains after depotting! Since depotting, despite a few
crumbles, I have been getting a lot more use out of the blushers and bronzer in
the palette and I ended up depotting a few mini Too Faced bronzers as well !
Anyway, hope you didn’t mind that little try not to buy/update from me!
Also, don’t be shocked if I cave and make a splurge on Cult Beauty if they do another
GWP offer soon, I’m good but I’m not that good! Let me know what you’ve been
buying recently or if you are trying to cut down your spending like me!

I
toyed with just calling this post a collective haul but technically I am still
on my version of a spending ban even though it didn’t go so well last month!
Anyway, here is what I tried and failed not to buy!
I got
an email from House of Fraser a few weeks ago with their current promotions and
10% off CT is too good to pass up! Especially when you can nab a student
discount code too and get a further 10% off so I took the opportunity to buy
two things I’ve had on my wishlist for the longest time! Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze and Glow isn’t completely brand
new to me as I do have a mini version of it in my Instant Look in a Palette but
you’ll know from this post how much I love those two shades and how I don’t
really rate the blushers and eyeshadows in the palette. Although I haven’t hit pan on that palette
yet, I didn’t think I would get a better offer than this so I snapped it up and
I’m so glad I did!
I also
picked up the Charlotte Tilbury Powder and Sculpt Brush, another item that I’ve had on my wishlist for the longest
time and come close to buying but couldn’t quite justify it. I’m such a sucker
for money off promotions aren’t I? Again I’m so glad I have this in my brush
pot now, I have nothing like it, everything else is a lot bigger or not as
tapered and this is a match made in heaven with Bronze and Glow! I might do a
separate post on these two because I love them so much!
I made
a mini Feel Unique order when they had 15% off and bought the Shiseido Ibuki Softening Concentrate as
I loved the last Shiseido mini I had and read a good review of this on Naya’s blog as well as seeing Simone talking about it in her Instagram stories! I
haven’t used this much yet as I’m testing a few other skincare items but I love
the scent and it’s a very watery formula that is supposed to deliver moisture
to the skin and leave it with a softer, smoother feel! I’ve enjoyed it the few
times I’ve used it so I’m sure it will pop up again soon!
I
bought The Body Shop Skin Defence Multi-Protection Essence SPF 50last month when The Body Shop had their 40%
offer on because I thought I had heard good reviews and I liked how lightweight
it sounded. I’ve taken an instant dislike to it though because it smells like
raw vodka when I’m rubbing it on my face so I’ve literally used it twice! I’ll
try it again before deciding whether to pass on to my mum or not!
Beauty Bay
was my next stop and with the introduction of a few new highlighters to my collection, I wanted to add a new brush! Ideally I would have got the Real
Techniques fan brush because I have a feeling it would be a good size for my
face and looks duo fibre so I could easily build intensity. However, it’s only
available in a set and I already have the other two brushes. Instead I bought
the Zoeva 137 Petite Fan Brush
because I thought that though it looked a little smaller that the RT and I
could work with it. How wrong I was, this is a lash separating brush which
works fine when you have no mascara in but when you do it’s not strong enough
to brush through! Waste of money!
To get
the free delivery I also bought the Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Cucumber and Green Tea as my Aloe Herbs and
Rosewater one is almost out and whats one more facial mist in my collection. So
far I’m loving this, its hydrating and calming and smells like my Gerard
Cosmetics Green Tea setting spray!
Cult
Beauty then did 15% off and I of course could not pass this up as they never
seem to do them so again I went and had a look at my account wishlist and added
a few things. I’ve
heard good things about the Yu Ling Jade Medium Facial Roller and even though it’s expensive, curiosity got the
better of me. My skin can be quite congested at times around my chin and I get
hormonal breakouts on my jawline so I’m hoping this has a positive effect! I’ve
using this most nights since getting and it’s a nice step in my routine, I
usually spray a mist and then start rolling in an upwards motion and it’s very
relaxing and refreshing. Will get back to you if it calms my skin down
anymore!
After
my disaster with the Zoeva brush I picked up this Morphe M310 Large Soft Fan Brush and I’m loving it! I toyed with getting the Zoeva Luxe Fan Brush but it
wasn’t included in the offer so Morphe won out! This one is a little stiffer
than my other Morphe fan brush and its puts the perfect amount of highlighter on my face every time.
Lastly,
I got myself the Becca Mineral Blush in Flowerchild which wasn’t actually on my
list and I can’t quite remember why I
decided to get it but I am so glad I did! This along with CT Bronze and Glow
have been the only products gracing my cheeks this week and I love it! The
packaging is gorgeous and the blush itself is a beautiful peachy pink with
subtle highlights and it’s really easily buildable. The formula is so smooth
and I’m already looking at their other shades even though I shouldn’t!
There
we have it, a very unsuccessful try not to buy challenge for me this month but
one that’s made me feel great all the same! I feel like a junkie getting that
next hit but I think I should be OK for a while now!

you’ve been hauling lately or if you have tried anything I mentioned!

I
mentioned a few weeks ago about my spending ban or my “try not to buy” as I
prefer to call it so I’ve got a little update this week on what I’ve been
buying recently and justification to myself as to why!
My
main expenditure was on Cult Beauty as they had their infamous spring goody bag
up for grabs last month when you spent over £100. I tend to add things to my
wish list then when this offer comes around (usually every season) I have a
splurge because the GWP is so good! I also talked a little more about what
offers I like to wait for in my Best UK Beauty Sites and How to Save Money post a while back!
Standard!
This is my favourite way to apply foundation and I recently opened a new one so
this is my back up! It will probably be a few months before I open it but I
didn’t want to waste money on something I don’t need and I know this will get
used!
I
loved my Foreo Luna Play that I got in my last Cult Beauty GWP and it was
something I would never have bought had I not had the chance to try it! When
the GWP offer came around I took the opportunity to upgrade to the rechargeable
Luna Go! I actually haven’t tried this out yet because I still have some uses
left in my Luna Play so I can’t say much about this yet but I have high hopes
as I love the Play so much!
Fairydrops Brow Wow Wow Liner in Natural Brunette
Fairydrops Brow Wow Wow Liner
I’ve
wanted a felt tip eyebrow pen for ages as I love my Soap and Glory Archery Brow Tint and Pencil and wanted to try another one. I got this in the shade Natural
Brunette and it’s got a nice fine felt tip but it’s very sheer and I find I’m usually
happier when I top up with a standard brow pencil. I definitely prefer the Soap
and Glory and it’s cheaper too for a double sided product!
Have a
nosy at what was in the goody bag on my Instagram!
I
can’t begin to tell you how long I’ve wanted this palette for and even though I
definitely didn’t need another eyeshadow palette in my collection I couldn’t
pass this one up when my friend asked if I wanted anything back from America a
few weeks ago! I won’t go into much more detail at the minute because I’m going
to have a full review up on Thursday about this but spoiler alert I LOVE it!
Boots Botanics Radiant Youth Hydrating Eye Cream
I can’t
find this on the website at the moment but I picked it up because I ran out of
eye cream and had a few pounds left on a gift card! I’ve used this before and it’s
perfect for the daytime as it’s so lightweight and absorbs quickly but I do
prefer something a little richer at night!
ASOS
recently had 20% off for St. Patrick’s Day so I took advantage and picked up a
couple of products I’ve wanted to try for ages including this primer! The
Ordinary are known for being incredibly affordable while not skimping on quality
and I love the other products I own by them. I’ve been using this all week and I’m
just not sure about at the minute, I love the formula and how it feels on my
skin but I’ve been retrying a few foundations I hate so I think that is swaying
my opinion a little – stay tuned though because I will definitely revisit with
my favourite foundations and see how it holds up!
This
was actually part of a Mother’s Day present for my mum but I wanted to include
it because I will totally be borrowing it! I’ve only used it once so can’t say much
about it, but it targets the signs of aging and textural irregularities and I
have high hopes for it as I’ve been noticing massive creases in between my eyes
because I squint so much so I’m hoping this helps!
Have
you tried anything I’ve mentioned? What have you been buying recently?

I almost made it through January with no
beauty purchases but I caved when Boots did a payday offer with 20% off and I
thought treat yo’self. With that thought, I decided I might also try to turn
this into a blog series and spending diary for myself this year! I have done
something similar in the form of my Try not to Buy hauls but it’s been literal
years since I last did one and I didn’t go into details on pricing or anything.
Since I try not to buy anything full price I’m going to try keep track of my
savings and spending with these spend reports – I’m also hoping there won’t be
one every month!
The product that started this haul off
was the NARS Soft Matte Complete Foundation in Deauville. It’s been
receiving rave reviews and curiosity got the better of me. I kicked myself
after Christmas as this had 20% off and I didn’t pick it up then I had regrets
so I patiently waited for another offer and Boots delivered! Full price this is
£28 but with 20% off it was £22.40 and I actually used my advantage card points
to pay for this so it was guilt free! I’ve been using this all week and I have
to say my first impressions are very good – I think I will do a full review after
I have tried it for a while longer but it was points well spent!
I then did a separate order – side note –
it is so annoying you can’t part pay on Boots with points and you can’t use
gift cards either! This order consisted of the NARS Mini Afterglow Lip Balm Duo in Orgasm and Fast Lanewhich is now out of stock and I wasn’t
expecting it to be in stock for me either but I saw it because was sitting in
my saved for later from Christmas and had a third off in the January sale so
instead of being £20 was £13.33. I already have the shade Dolce Vita and love
it and I am using balms a lot more than lipsticks at the minute so was happy to
pick these up!
Next up, a gloss that has been on my
radar for ages and again while it was 20% off I thought I would take the
opportunity to try it! I find Boots more regularly do 15% off Fenty rather than
20% and while it’s not a massive difference it’s all money! I picked up the Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb in Fu$$yand one of the newer cream versions too – the Fenty
Beauty Gloss Bomb Colour Drip Lip Cream in Fenty Glow. These are both £17
full price but £13.60 with the discount. Finally, the Fenty Skin Start’r Set
dropped into my basket. It contains minis of the Total Cleans’r, Fat Water and
Hydra Vizor and is £32 full price and £25.60 with the 20% off. I thought these
minis were a bit bigger so I’m annoyed as the price does still seem quite steep
for the size but hopefully they are good and will be worth the money! Love the
cardboard packaging too!
As well as the 20% discount, I also had a
£5 off voucher I was pleasantly surprised that worked so my total for this haul
was £61.13 instead of £114 which I was pretty happy with! I used TopCashback to
shop too which sometimes takes quite a while to clear but is pending 56p and
73p for these two transactions (let me know if you want a referral link)! I
used to use Ebates as well when I lived in Canada which is the same idea and
got cashback through my online shopping!
I have a really old blogpost on the Best UK Beauty Sites and how to save money that I would like to do an updated
version of this at some point this year but most of the content is still
relevant if you are also looking to save on your beauty spending this year! I
can’t wait to try out everything here so let me know if there is anything
specific you want to see a review on! I always post more pictures on Instagram
so do come over and say hello there too! Did you make any makeup or skincare
purchases this year yet?

Wow, it’s my 50th edition of
this blog series and the only one I strictly try and stick to! I get my empties
together around every 2-3 months and these posts are my favourite to put
together! I did my first one back in 2015 (linked here if you want a blast from the past) and funnily enough there are a couple of products I still repurchase
including a product that is included in today’s post!
Bodycare
Naturium The Glow Getter Multi-Oil Body
Wash
This deserves the hype it gets, it’s
gentle, contains 50% glycerin, a blend of oils and squalane. It creates a light
lather and leaves my skin feeling soft and hydrated! Wish it had a scent but
would repurchase!
Rituals The Ritual of Sakura Foaming Shower
Gel
Love this formula, it feels so luxurious
and smells so good! A little goes a long way as just a tiny pump of gel expands
into foam and it leaves my skin feeling soft and clean! Would repurchase!
Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion
A go to for me mainly in the winter and
it sinks in quickly and works well to hydrate my skin all day long! It’s fragrance
free so I do interchange between this and a few other scented ones as I get
bored of it but a great staple and one I will repurchase! Read more in this post about my Accutane bodycare recommendations!
Eucerin Complete Repair Plus Moisturizing
Lotion
Another classic and regular repurchase
for me! This is great to have to hand for any stubborn dry patches or eczema!
Fragrance free and a little more work to rub in than the Aveeno but a
repurchase for sure!
Maelys B-Flex Lift & Firm Arm Cream
RRP $64*
Really enjoyed this to target my arms
especially before my holiday. It contains Red Algae and Kangaroo Paw Flower
Extract for a tighter and smoother appearance and creates a warming sensation
as you rub in. I definitely noticed my arms looked and felt smoother and
tighter with regular use. It’s coloured purple so I did get some stains on my
bedding but I would recommend this in the run up to an event/vacation etc when
you want to feel your best! Not a repurchase for me right now.
L’Occitane Amande Huile de Douche Shower Oil
So glad I finally got to try this! It
felt luxurious and my skin felt soft after use but the scent isn’t my favourite
and it’s expensive! I have another mini to try but not a repurchase for me
right now!
OUAI Scalp and Body Scrub
Not the most gritty scrub out there and I
find this hard to spread when I use it in my scalp! The Melrose Place scent is
divine and I am a OUAI fangirl but this isn’t a repurchase for me!
Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream
I’ve lost count of how many of these I
have gone through! Smells amazing, absorbs quickly, and hydrates my body, I
love it! Again, I find it pricey so I try to look out for it in sets before I
repurchase but I already have a backup of it!
Sol de Janeiro Samba Foot Fetish Cream
Enjoyed this foot cream, it absorbed well
but it changed colour and scent before its expiry date so not a repurchase for
me!
Nivea Q10 3 in 1 Anti-Age Hand Cream
Obsessed with this hand cream, I’ll go as
far as to say it’s my favourite. Smells so fresh and clean, absorbs quickly and
most importantly, keeps my hands soft and smooth. Already have two backups.
Burt’s Bees Moisturizing Hand Cream*
This is a much thicker cream than the Nivea
so takes longer to sink in. It took me longer to finish too as I just used it
before bed but once I started concentrating on using it up I can see it works
just as well as the Nivea at keeping my hands soft and smooth but the fact it
takes longer to absorb and there is no scent means it’s not a repurchase for
me!
Clarins Hand and Nail Treatment Cream
Another great option to keep hands soft
and hydrated. This one also sank in quickly and has an interesting scent. Not
my favourite as it’s a little old fashioned but it’s not the worst either! This
is expensive though so not a repurchase for me!
First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser Body
Scrub
Loved this! It’s really scrubby and
worked well to keep my skin smooth and target KP. I have another mini to use
but I would repurchase.
Nivea Soft Moisturising Cream
This is the product that was also included
in my very first empties which I linked at the start of this post! I always go
back to this, I am obsessed with the Nivea scent and this is such a great light
body moisturiser. Will repurchase!
Necessaire The Body Serum
I was happy to have a mini of this for
some extra TLC on my chest area this summer. It’s a Hyaluronic Acid treatment
that’s a gel formula and it absorbs into the body quickly. It’s formulated with
5 molecular weights of Hyaluronic Acid as well as Niacinamide and Ceramide NP. It
feels luxe to use and I enjoyed it but it’s out of my price range so not a
repurchase right now. Read my full Necessaire review here!
Haircare
TRESemme Volumizing Dry Shampoo
Great budget option. I have gone through
multiple of these. Definitely doesn’t soak up as much oil as the Living Proof
one but this is often on offer and I’m happy with the extra day it gives me out
of my hair! Will repurchase!
Schwarzkopf got2b Instant Refresh Dry
Shampoo
Another great budget option and
similarly, doesn’t make my hair feel as clean as the LP but for the price I
will repurchase!
Living Proof PhD Dry Shampoo
Love this dry shampoo! It leaves no white
cast, absorbs easily giving me an extra day or two out of my greasy hair and
actually makes it look clean. Worth the money but I try to bulk buy when on
offer/in a set! Already have a back up!
Living Proof Full Shampoo and Conditioner
Enjoyed this duo. Cleansed my hair well
and though I have fine hair, I felt it looked fuller. Would repurchase if I saw
on offer as I love their dry shampoos and triple bond complex!
Living Proof Triple Bond Complex
Love this, it’s my favourite hair
treatment and I prefer it as a repair treatment to Olaplex! It’s a weekly
treatment that you apply to damp hair after washing and leave in - it works to
construct new bonds within the hair to help strengthen it as well as heat
protect it up to 232˚C and the look of split ends are visibly reduced. I leaves
my hair smooth and manageable and I have noticed my ends looking healthier with
less split ends even when my hair is overdue a trim! Read my full review here!
JVN Deep Moisture Mask
Enjoyed this mask. It left my hair
hydrated and I enjoyed the rich scent. Would repurchase!
JVN Complete Air Dry Cream
This smoothed my hair and gave good shine.
I used it mainly on damp hair but it doesn’t offer heat protection so not a repurchase
for me as I use heat on my hair!
Probably my number one most repurchased
skincare product! This is the best eye makeup remover available hands down! So
gentle, removes waterproof mascara easily and doesn’t dry my eye area out! Have
about 3 back-ups already!
Then I Met You Living Cleansing Balm
Loved this cleanser! It’s got a rich,
luxurious balm texture and a beautiful citrus scent. It contains plant oils,
olive oil and grapeseed oil as well as persimmon and Vitamin E. I don’t feel like
I need to use that much of this to cleanse and it removes makeup easily and
leaves my skin feeling nourished and clean! Would repurchase! Read my full review here!
Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment
I liked this for winter as it’s one of
the more thicker eye creams I own but if my skin is in any way wet from other
products when I use it, it refuses to sink in. I didn’t get any milia from
using this but it’s not the best texture I have used. Not a repurchase!
Biotherm Life Plankton Elixir RRP $109*
Loved this serum! It’s a beautiful
hydrating and soothing serum that contains glycerin, life plankton and Vitamin
C. It’s also scented and I am obsessed with the smell – so fresh and “blue” and
it really adds to the experience for me. This makes my skin feel hydrated and
supported and it looks brighter and feels smoother! I notice my fine lines less
and I would repurchase on a good offer! Read my full review here!
MONUskin Extra Rich Night Cream
This contains a blend of Royal Jelly,
Vitamin A and Evening Primrose Oil and worked well to support and hydrate my
skin overnight. It was a thick cream but sank in well though I have other night
creams I prefer so not a repurchase for me!
Skinceuticals Retexturising Activator RRP
$112*
I didn’t want to because of the price but
I loved this serum! As well as being hydrating it made my skin feel and look so
smooth. It contains 25% Hydroxyethyl Urea, Kombucha as well as glycerin and
hyaluronic acid and was gentle to use despite having the resurfacing power of
daily 20% glycolic acid treatment. I used this daily and my skin looked
brighter and my skin barrier felt strong. Not a repurchase for me right now due
to price only but I would love to if I found a good sale!
Murad Rapid Dark Spot Correcting Serum
Nice serum but didn’t use it long enough
to see much difference. Would consider a purchase as I love a lot of Murad
products but would probably go with the Vita C Glycolic Serum! See my in-depth Murad review here!
Glow Recipe Guava Vitamin C Dark Spot
Serum
I haven’t loved anything I’ve tried from
this brand but I enjoyed this serum! The formula sank in well and the smell
wasn’t too overpowering. It wasn’t a big enough sample size for me to see any
results though so not a repurchase!
Farmacy Honey Butter Beeswax Lip Balm
Loved this! Easy to pull out and reapply
and gave me long lasting hydration and smooth lips with a subtle sheen! Not a
repurchase as its $17 and I went through it so quickly!
Makeup
Urban
Decay All Nighter Long Lasting Makeup Setting Spray*
I
don’t see as much of a difference when I use this as I would like to and hear
others seeing but I have a full size to use so will test it more! Not a
repurchase as I prefer the Charlotte Tilbury setting mist!
Fenty
Beauty Slip Shine Sheer Shiny Lipstick in 06 Retro Rose
Loved
this lipstick! Easy to apply with or without a mirror, great my lips but better
shade and despite having some slip to it, decent lasting power! Sad to be
finished but I would repurchase! Though I have far too many other lip products
to get through and I am eyeing the new Gloss bomb Stix High-Shine Gloss Stick!
Read my full review of the Fenty Slip Shine Sheer Shiny Lipstick here!
ClarinsLip Comfort
Hydrating Oil in 04 Pitaya and 08 Strawberry
Up there with the Fenty lip oil as my
favourite formula, this feels silky and not sticky at all while lasting a
surprisingly long time on my lips keeping them comfortable and hydrated for
hours. It gives a beautiful shine, contains omega 6 and 9, rose oil and jojoba
oil but the original is Honey shade is my favourite and I already have a backup
of it so these shades aren’t a repurchase! Read my full review here!
Miscellaneous
Organika Original Enhanced Collagen
Protein
Switched to this Costco Collagen and I am
loving it! Same results as before (I notice good results especially in my
joints!) btu absorbs much easier! Have already repurchased!
Webbber Naturals All Greens Superfood
Another Costco purchase and this one was
much sweeter than my previous greens powder but I think did the same job in
allowing me some more nutrients in my diet lol. I went back to my original
Greens powder as I felt I was cheating with the sweeter flavour but I will be repurchasing
this one as its more palatable!
Crest 3D White Strips
Good for a quick fix before an event but
not long lasting or that vibrant! I feel like I get similar results when I do a
quick bicarb of soda brush so not a repurchase for me.
Well done if you made it to the end of
the post! Let me know if you saw any of your favourites or anything you want to
try! Bonus point if you tell me which product made an appearance in my very
first empties post too!
