I haven't done an empties post in a good few weeks actually, but here we are again! I kind of stopped blogging for a while as I was so tired after work or just too busy - I actually lost my memory card which must be somewhere in my house but luckily I found a wee 1GB one lying around so that'll keep me going!
Avon Solutions Plus Pure Pore-Fection
Thoughts: This dried my skin out so badly. I was trying to finish it so I was just using it but in the end I had to stop when I realised how badly it was drying out my face. It's full of SLS, one of the highest ingredients, horrible stuff!
Cruelty-free?: No.
Repurchase?: No.
Virgin Vie Pretty Calm Shower Gel
Thoughts: I got this in a set with the body lotion as a Christmas presents. It smells quite nice, kinda manly in a way haha.
Cruelty-free?: No.
Repurchase?: No.
The Body Shop Camomile Gentle Eye Make-Up Remover
Thoughts: This works pretty well actually, it's a thin water-like liquid, I found that if you use too much it can sting the eyes. They seem to have rebranded it so I'm not sure if it's exactly the same or not, maybe less stingy now! £8/250ml here.
Cruelty-free?: Yes.
Repurchase?: Possibly, but still on a quest for the bestest one!! ;)
Bourjois Volume Glamour
Thoughts: I bought this as I couldn't find my favourite spinny one! It is a very average mascara to be honest, and I had to buy another different one this time as spinny one still wasn't shelved :( £7.99 here.
Cruelty-free?: Yes.
Repurchase?: No.
Lush Honey I Washed The Kids Soap (not pictured)
Thoughts: I got this ages ago and had kind of put off using it as I'm not a huge fan of honey but it's actually not too strong and is just more of a generally warm, sweet scent which was generally quite pleasant. £3.40/100g here.
Cruelty-free?: Yes.
Repurchase?: Probably but there are so many others I want to try first!!

I can recommend Camomile Waterproof Eye & Lip Make Up Remover from The Body Shop from their new range. I've bought it because my Bioderma was drying my lips and this one isn't. :) As for mascara, Bourjois Volume Glam Ultra Curl Mascara, which is very similar to this one in your review is my all time favourtie mascara, so maybe try this one?

ReplyDeleteI think I will try it again now they've redone it! I'm using Neal's Yard one at the moment and it's not blown me away unfortunately :/ Oh yes thanks I shall try that next time!
DeleteI remember you mentioning this body shop product after I reveiwed the waterproof one (maybe it was another one - was back in March) but our opinions seem quite similar! :P
ReplyDeleteYes! I remember this! Haha yeah, it is still the best CF one I've used but I've actually been using their Camomile Cleansing Oil recently and rubbing it on my eyes first and it actually works really well, it doesn't sting but if you get it in your eye you can end up a bit fuzzy!
