June Empties

Hey,

I haven't done one of these types of posts before, but I've seen other people do them and they look quite fun to do, so I thought I'd try this out!

These are the products I have used this past month - I'll be giving you my honest verdict on whether I'd re-purchase them or not bother.

1) Garnier Ultimate Blends Shampoo

Verdict - not re-purchasing

First up, we have Garnier's Sleek Restorer Shampoo. I was disappointed with this, unfortunately. I picked this up in the store as it smelt amazing and Garnier's hair products are usually really good. However, I only had used this about three times before the plastic lid split. This followed with the part of the lid not being able to shut properly and the bit that goes in the hole to fall out. This made using it in the shower a pain and I kept dropping the little bit in the shower. It also didn't make much difference to my hair. Please let me know if you've experienced this before or mine was just a one off! I wont be buying this again.

2) Lush Body Wash

Verdict - will re-purchase at Christmas

I've only just finished using this, as I couldn't resist picking it up in stores back in December even though I had lots of shower gel already! I didn't start it until about April. I did enjoy this smell, however, after using it for 4 months, I did get bored and feel rather sick after smelling this scent constantly in the shower and will be glad to have a change. Nice in the shower, but only for a couple of months - no more than that!

3) Body Shop strawberry body mist

Verdict - will re-purchase at some point

I seem to always prefer sweet body scents over musky ones - they just smell nicer to me. I picked this up a couple of months ago. At £7.50, it's quite a steep price for a scent, however, I think it's worth it. The spray comes out as a mist, so you don't get massive damp sections on your clothes and skin. This also lasted me a good couple of months and I loved the scent - I will be picking this up again at some point!

4) Seventeen 'Maximum Volume' Mascara

Verdict - will re-purchase

I popped into Boots looking for a cheap mascara that does the job and came out with this. At £4.70, its much cheaper than your average mascara and in my opinion, does pretty much the same job. Although the wand is a normal shape and not curved like my usual preference, it's easy to apply and really pumps up my lashes. I would recommend this if you don't have the money to be spending £8 on a mascara and want the same effect. I will be re-purchasing this next time I need one!

5) Soap and Glory's Hand Gel

Verdict - will re-purchase

I wanted to go for a hand gel that would stop germs and not smell of that horrible clinical smell or of very strong cucumber. That is why I was very happy to find this! The scent smells very nice and actually pleasant to put on your hands, while being a good hand gel that does the job. I will definitely be buying this again!
