MAY EMPTIES

Hello ladies!
First of all, I am sorry for my absence, but I had a crazy week, honestly... our internet got cut off etc... I am back now and I will be adding 2 posts a day, because the list of drafts is getting longer each day.
I managed to use up quite a lot of products this month. I will also do a post with all the stuff that I had to bin, because it wasn't safe to use anymore :( Here are my empties:
1.TIGI Rockaholic Livin' The Dream Daily Conditioner- I got it from TKmaxx for £3.99( bargain!) and I am planning to repurchase it here. It is such a great conditioner that gives my hair a boost of energy and smells amazing!!! I can use it allover my hair without worrying that it will leave the roots greasy. I can't wait to get another bottle!
2.Herbal Essences fresh balance shampoo- it is good for removing product build up, like hair spray etc... but it is very drying for my hair and scalp, so I won't be buying it again.
3.Lush Helping hands cream (link)- I really liked the way it made my hands nice and smooth, but I just couldn't cope with the smell. It was very weird, I can't describe it to be honest. I was very disappointed with it, as everything else from Lush smells lovely.
4.Olivella professional Salon conditioner- another TKmaxx bargain, 500ml for £7.99. The best conditioner I have ever tried and it lasted me for over a year! I found a link to it here. It smells amazing and every time I used it I felt like I had a salon treatment!
5.Rituals ZenSation Shower Gel (link)- I loved using it, but I can't imagine the amount of SLS it contains, to get so foamy! I actually thought that Rituals is a natural brand and free from nasty ingredients, until I noticed SLS on the list... It's a shame really, because it is s a lovely products and I would repurchase it if it was made with more carefully selected, natural ingredients.
6.Avon Foot Works Brown Sugar and Vanilla Scrub (link)- it is very effective in removing rough skin and it smells lovely and sweet. I am sure I paid £2 for it from www.avonshop.co.uk. Unfortunately it is not available from their website anymore.
7.Paul Mitchell Smoothing Balm (link)- This is the worst thing I have ever used on my hair! It made my hair greasy and horrible. I had to wash my hair again the same day, because I looked like wet dog!
8.Yves Rocher Night Lotion- link - I got this as a present from my friend and I loved it! When I felt that my skin doesn't need a moisturiser at night I sprayed it onto my face and neck and and it really helped to soothe my skin. I will definitely repurchase it.
9.Optrex Acimist (link)- I love this stuff! When my eyes feel tired and dry ( very common in the blogging community from staring at the computer screen) I just spray it onto my closed eyes and it makes a big difference. I need to buy a new bottle asap.
10.Lancome Tonique Doceur (link)- I like to use it when I don't wear makeup, as it cleans and tones my skin at the same time. I got it with my Lancome order, they always send 3 gifts with your order. Unfortunately I can't afford Lancome anymore :( so I won't be getting it again.
11.Footworks Cooling Cherry spray (link)- great for summer, when i wear sandals and I need to refresh my tired feet. It has got an instant cooling effect and it smells lovely!
12.Body Scrub- no name :) he label peeled off when I was using it, it is the one in the right bottom corner. I got it from Tkmaxx (again- I love this shop) for £1.99. It is great for exfoliation but it smells horrible, like and old soap so I don't care about the label to be honest :) as I wouldn't buy it again.

  4. I absolutely LOVE herbal essences. It's so weird how some products work for some people and not others because it seems to be the best one I've tried on my hair! :)x
