Monthly Empties: April 2026

Used up quite a few bits this past month;

China Glaze Liquid Leather | Nice enough basic black polish, I do however prefer Barry M Black Forest and so wouldn't repurchase [swatch].
Jessica Hologram Top Coat | A scattered holographic topcoat, the formula on this was one where you had to really shake it to get the particles re-suspended in the base. I did like this, but have purchased China Glaze Fairy Dust as a replacement [swatch].

Lush Scooby Doo Bath Bomb | Turned the water a neon yellow shade and left red sediment in the bottom of the bath, the scent was very subtle too so not one I'd repurchase.
Lush Frankenstein Bath Bomb | Grapefruit and citrus, so uplifting rather than calming bath. It was okay but I'd not repurchase. 
Lush Sex Bomb Bath Bomb | Jasmine scented but not too floral, more musky. Would repurchase [review].
Lush Snow Fairy Bubble Bar | Used this over two baths, made lots of bubbles and smelled sweet. Worked well with sex bomb. Might repurchase this.

The Perfume People Sexy Bomb | Smells like Lush's Sex Bomb bath bomb, scent lingers around for a while. I'd consider repurchasing.
Yankee Candle Christmas Eve | I didn't find this candle had much, if any scent to it. Not one I'd purchase.

L'Occitane Immortelle Divine Youth Cream | This sample sank in quickly and by the next morning my skin was very soft. But it did make my skin sting so not one I would purchase.
CeraVe Moisturising Cream | Very thick, intense moisturiser which is designed for very dry skin. I like this and have repurchased it.
Garnier Ambre Solaire SPF 50 | I'd had this a year so was time to get rid, it works with or without make up and doesn't leave a white cast. I have since repurchased.
Erborian CC Red Correct | It has taken me a long time to use this up but I do really like it, I have a lot of redness in my face and so this really evens out my skin tone whether I wear foundation or not. I have already repurchased it.

Aldi Lacura Sweet Angel Shower Gel | Scent dupe of Lush Snow Fairy, another good basic shower gel scented of sweet pear drops. I would repurchase.
Superdrug Fruity Strawberry and Raspberry Shower Gel | Scent was what you would expect from artificial strawberry, it was okay. I would repurchase from the line just not this scent.
L'Occitane Verveine Shower Gel | Quite a light citrus scent. Nice enough but not a repurchase.

November is Diabetes Awareness Month and so I will be doing blue nails to raise awareness.

Type one diabetes can be diagnosed at any age, are you aware of the four T's?
The four T's stand for Toilet, Thirsty, Tired and Thinner.
