Monthly Empties: April 2025

Color Club Pucci-licious | Finally finished this bottle, having had it since 2012. It was a basic purple cream polish, I would repurchase if I didn't already have colour dupes [swatch].

W7 Black | This was a two coater black cream, I'd not repurchase as the smell was pretty potent [swatch].

L'Occitane Sparkling Leaves | A lightweight hand lotion, it sank in quickly and the fresh scent lingered. I would repurchase from L'Occitane but not this scent.

Soap and Glory Dry Shampoo | I don't often use dry shampoo and so have had this bottle for a while. It did work when applied the night before, but the 'pink' scent was very strong and lingered in my hair. I'd not repurchase as the scent was too intense for me.

L'Oreal Dark Brown Root Cover | The spray covered roots well, again its not something I use often but I would repurchase as it lets me go longer in between dyeing hair.

Garnier Ultimate Blends Pineapple Shampoo | The scent on this is very fruity and it does linger in my hair. I found the shampoo still lathered without SLS, I will repurchase this at some point.

Aldi Lacura Sweet Angel | Scent dupe of Lush Snow Fairy, another good basic shower gel scented of sweet pear drops. I would repurchase.

Wild Lipbalm Peach and Mango | I didn't like the original formula on this, gritty and quite hard. Only good thing was the scent, I wouldn't repurchase the original formula.

Wild Lipbalm Watermelon | This had the improved recipe and the formula was smooth and nourishing. The scent is artificial watermelon, I would repurchase.

Dirty Works Fruity Lipbalm | A soft formula, scented like blackberries, did what you would expect a lipbalm to do. I would repurchase this but have others to use up.
