Empties: May 2024

Soap and Glory Jingle Blooms Body Butter | I didn't really like the floral scent of this but the formula is thick but sinks in, doesn't leave you sticky. I would repurchase a body butter from Soap and Glory just not this scent.

Rimmel Lovey Dovey | The colour was a lilac in a cream finish, I have others the same shade so wouldn't repurchase [swatch].

L'Occitane Amande Hand Lotion | A lightly moisturising hand cream with an almond scent, its good for daytime as sinks in quickly. I would repurchase this if I didn't have two 150ml tubes already.

L'Occitane Herbae Hand Lotion | This sinks in quickly and doesn't leave a greasy trail. The scent does linger, it isn't my favourite scent but I really like the formula. I may repurchase if I didn't have many others to get through.

Barry M Feature Length Mascara | This has short silicone bristles which are good for grabbing the lashes. I would repurchase this one.
