Hello readers,
Another month gone by means another pile of empties. Lots of stuff to go through this month so let's get started.
Face
This month I finished my clinique makeup remover, glowing mama walnut scrub, the body shop tea tree skin clearing toner and clinique repairwear laser focus. I like the clinique makeup remover but I feel like I can get something equivalent for less from a drugstore brand. If I get more of it as a GWP I will definitely use it though. I also really liked the tea tree toner. It's a great way to quickly clean your face at the end of the day. It left my skin matte but not dry. I've already bought a replacement bottle. I received the repairwear laser focus serum as a GWP. I probably won't buy it again because wrinkles aren't a big concern for me but maybe sometime in the future. My favorite face product this month was the glowing mama walnut scrub by annanaturals. I got this from Beauty Box 5 and would definitely purchase the full size except I can't find somewhere in Canada that sells it and shipping from the states is quite expensive.
Nails
I finished two bottles of cuticle oil this month. First up is Emerald&Ash's citrus basil which I got as a press sample. I absolutely loved this oil. It smelled very fresh and crisp. I also love the rollerball packaging which ensures I can't spill the entire jar and I can get to the oil at the very bottom of the bottle. I also received my Northern Star Polish cuticle oil in tangerine honeysuckle as a press sample. I also loved the scent on this one and it was very moisturizing. If I had to pick just one I would probably go with the E&A because of the rollerbar applicator.
Bath & Body
I finished a variety of bath and body products this month. First of is a sample of waxalene that I got in a Sweet Delights Divalicious sample box. It's advertized as an alternative to petroleum jelly with many applications. I used it as a moisturizer for very dry skin. It claims to be non-greasy but I would disagree. I found this was a put on before bed and let it soak in overnight kind of product. I don't think I will buy it again because of that. I also finished a bag of Bath Retreat Energizing Epsom Salts in Citrus Delight. I loved these. I would add a cup or so to a bath and soak away. The scent was very crips and not overly sweet. I will definitely buy these again. Lastly is St.Ives Oatmeal & Shea Butter body wash. This was a surprise favorite. I received it as part of a gift set and intended to use it up and then switch back to my usual. However, I absolutely loved this body wash. It's creamy and moisturizing without being greasy. It lathers really well and has a soft scent. I will be buying this one again too.
Hair
Finally we have hair products. First up is the Novex hair mask I received from Beauty Box 5. I tried it but didn't feel it did anything more than my normal conditioner so I won't be purchasing it again. I also finished a jumbo bottle of Herbal Essences Body Envy conditioner. Herbal Essences is one of my go to brands and I will buy this one again. I really like the scent and it moisturized my hair without making it heavy or greasy. Last is the Pantene Ultimate 10 BB Conditioner I received from BzzAgent. I really like this conditioner. It did a good job of helping smooth my semi-frizzy semi-curly hair. Pantene can be a little pricey but I will definitely buy it again when it's on sale.
Happy polishing,
- Michelle
