While I have been absent from here, I have been steadily working through some product.
This time round, I have gathered all the Hair, Body and Skin Care products. There's rather a lot to go through so I shall dive into it.
Hair Care
- L'Oreal Elvive Full Restore 5 Shampoo and Conditioner - I have been using PANTEN products religiously for the past few years so I thought decided to change things up. I think this worked just as well for me so I will probably go back to it at some point. I think it is just a preference of scent. Personally I prefer the PANTEN repair & protect a bit more
- Garnier Ultimate Blends Marvellous Transformer Shampoo and Conditioner - I was drawn to the Moroccan Argan Oil and Camellia Oil aspect of this range but this Conditioner just did not work for me. Also they are both quite heavily fragranced so it might be a good idea to give it a sniff before purchasing.
- Paul Mitchell Dry Wash Dry - I enjoyed using this. It did leave a slight white residue but after worked into your hair, the powder was not visible. Smelt pretty nice as well. I preferred this compared to the normal Batiste formula so I might consider getting the it in the future
- Colab Dry Shampoo Sheer Invisible New York - I love the Colab Dry Shampoo. It's not suitable for the very oily hair day but for a quick freshen up on your second day hair, its perfect! I have already repurchased my second one!
- Batiste XXL Plumping Powder - This product came in a beauty box so its not something that I chose to buy but I was not a fan. If you would like to add serious grit in your hair then this would probably be perfect. Once applied, I could not run my hands through my hair! It really was like having glue in your hair.
Skin Care
- L'Oreal Perfection 3 in 1 Purify Micellar Solution - I enjoyed this product. Nothing ground breaking but did the job of taking off your make up (although I did follow up with a second cleanse with a face wash). I don't usually wear waterproof mascara so removing eye make up wasn't an issue either. I'm currently using the Ganier one and honestly speaking I don't have much preference. I'll probably purchase it again at some point in the future.
- Liz Earl Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser - This was my first cream cleanser and as I loved using this! Totally understand the hype. I feel cream cleansers were far less drying on the skin so I think it will be ideal for the coming season.
- Clearasil Vitamins & Extracts Wash and Mask - This was actually my 2nd or 3rd bottle so I clearly like it. Rarely do I use it as a mask but as standard pleasant face wash.
- Clean & Clear Advantage Clear & Soothe Daily Scrub - As face wash goes, this probably did the job but as a Scrub, I did not like it. Yes, there were some beads distributed throughout but nowhere near enough to actually have a scrubbing effect in my opinion.
- Body Shop Aloe Calming Facial Cleanser and Calming Toner - I did enjoy both products bur probably will not repurchase it again. As for the Cleanser, it was a nice creamy consistency but I don't think it did a good job of removing make up. Also the packing is a pain. It was really difficult to get the product out!! As for the Toner, it was a nice gentle toner. I may consider getting this when I feel like going back to basics with my skin care.
- Superdrug Pebbles Facial Buffer - You can probably tell by the list of products but I have a fair bit of acne on my face. I've been trying to find the best way of cleansing my skin and came across this new line at Superdrug. Its basically a small Loofah sponge. Once it is soaked in water properly, it does get soft enough to use on the face. I am actually a fan of this and I think this provides the right amount of exfoliation. For those who would like a gentler exfoliate, I would recommend the Konjac Sponge.
- Botanics All Bright Refreshing Eye Roll-On - I am still unsure about the whole eye cream thing but I guess it doesn't harm to use one. This one had a clear gel texture and was refreshing to use in the mornings because it had a metal roller. However, I'm not entirely sure whether it actually moisturised my under eyes or not. I preferred the Simple's eye cream better than this one so I probably will not repurchase this.
- Clearasil Ultra Rapid Action Treatment Cream - I absolutely love this and I can't remember how many tubes of this I have gone through. I think it actually works to heal my spots quicker. One issue is that it balls up under make up if you rub your foundation in a lot. If anyone has a recommendation of spot creams that you can use under make up let me know!
- Clearasil Blemish & Marks Treatment Cream - I'm not sure about this product. I didn't feel like it helped my blemish and marks but at the same time, I understand that a single cream is not going to be a quick fix for acne scars...
- SkinPep Hydra Boost Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum - This came in a beauty box and was a nice product to try. It had a clear gel-like texture and made my skin bouncy. However, I believe this is a anti-ageing product and for someone who is in their early twenties, I'm not sure if it is necessary quite yet.
- Neutragena Visibly Clear Pink Grapefruit Oil-Free Moisturiser - I really like this moisturiser and have already repurchased this. This gives the right amount of moisturising effect for my oily skin and is perfect under make up
- Neutragena Visibly Clear Spot Stress Control Ultra-light spot treatment moisturiser - This moisturiser was a clear gel type. I wasn't wowed by its performance and wasn't impressed when it balled up so I won't be purchasing it again.
Body Care
- Dove Go Fresh Pomegranate Aerosol Anti-Perspirant Deodorant - This was OK as deodorant went but by the end if its use, I got sick of this scent so I have chosen a different deodorant now. I think its just a matter of preference.
- Body Shop Satsuma Body Butter - This was my first Body Butter from the Body Shop. I'm really bad about moisturising my body but the lovely smell made me want to use it. However, I found this too thick and greasy for my liking. Having said that, I'll probably purchase some other scents when they have the sales on.
This was rather a long list of products but I hope some of you have found it useful in a way!
Thank you for reading :)

ReplyDeleteyep this is what happens if you hoard finished products for about half a year :P.
