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.

  

Monthly Empties: March 2025

Nails Inc Electric Teal | Dark green cream polish, it was free with a magazine in 2011. I liked it and tried using it as a base for glitter this past month but couldn't get any more out [swatch].

W7 Salt n Pepper | This was a black speckled glitter in a white base, when I went to use it though it has bled and turned grey and also was chunky, it was from 2012 so time to dispose of [swatch].

A Certain Becca Lacquer Snow Pixie | Scent dupe of Lush's Snow Fairy, I liked the scent and the formula. The dropper bottle was also nice as I could apply on cuticles and under nails. Only issue was with the label falling off but the product itself was great and I would repurchase.

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.

Simple Moisturisng Facial Wash | I used this three times and every time it left my face really tight and dry, then the next day my skin started peeling. It was anything but moisturising and once I worked out what was causing my skin issues I just had to stop using. Would not repurchase!

Superdrug Fruity Orange and Satsuma Shower Gel | Basic shower gel, smells of oranges. I would repurchase.

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.

Soap and Glory Call of Fruity Body Scrub | A thick scrub which is nice as it actually stuck to me as I was using it. The scent was generic fruity, I don't have much of a want for body scrub so wouldn't repurchase.

Avon Sunkissed Sunsets Bubble Bath | Creates a fair amount of bubbles, scent was slightly masculine and did linger on my skin. Not sure I would repurchase this scent.

Lush Lugosi Bubble Bar | Created a lot of bubbles, looked like a vampire and was scented of blackberries. I think it was supposed to glow in the dark but I didn't check for that. I did find it left the bath dark and so required extra scrubbing afterwards so not a repurchase.

Lush Punkin Pumpkin Bath Bomb | Shaped like a pumpkin. Scent was vague lime, cinnamon and pepper. I don't think I would repurchase this.

Baylis & Harding Bath Soak Crystals | I got these as part of a gift, I didn't find they were particularly scented and didn't notice any extra relaxing properties than a bath without them.
