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.
