Empties

Wednesday 16 April 2014

It’s time for another empties post. I swear the box that contains my empties isn’t actually getting any emptier with each one of these I do. Irony at its finest.


1. Solait Tinted Bronzing Lotion

Admittedly this has been chilling in my empties box for quite some time. I haven’t faked tanned in months (potentially over a year) and it wasn’t actually me who finished this. Despite my lack of fake tanning I absolutely love the Solait Tinted Bronzing Lotion. When I was a fake tan enthusiast I tried so many brands and was so many different shades of orange it was worrying but this was the best by miles. It left me with a subtle tan that didn’t smell disgusting or flake off weirdly. I do have another bottle of this lying in a drawer and will probably break it out again in the summer.


2. Lush The Olive Branch Shower Gel

This was the first shower gel I ever tried by Lush and it won’t be the last. The consistency is fairly runny and I was in danger of losing a lot of it to the plug hole but that’s the only downside of this shower gel. It has a rather lovely woody mixed with citrus scent that I literally couldn’t get enough of. Despite its runny consistency you do get a great lather out of it and cleans you up rather well. I’d definitely repurchase this but I want to try a few other Lush shower gels before doing so.


3. Aussie Take The Heat Spray

I bought the Aussie Take the Heat spray after deciding to abandon my beloved Tresemme heat defence spray and I somewhat regret it. It did the job but it didn’t even come close to my usual Tresemme spray. I did like the subtle almost fudge like scent but I wasn’t in any hurry to buy it. I say I wasn’t as I accidentally repurchased it without even realising. Aussie threw me off by changing the packaging.


4. Nivea Rich Nourishing Body Moisturiser

I wanted a thick moisturiser and boy did I find one. The Nivea Rich Nourishing Body Moisturiser is potentially the thickest moisturiser I have ever used and it took some elbow grease to rub into my skin. It wasn’t the greatest thing ever when it came to actually moisturising my skin but it did the job. It smelled absolutely awful though. It reminded me of prescription steroid creams that doctors always throw at eczema sufferers. I won’t be repurchasing this.


5. Nature’s Expert Cocoa Butter & Almond Body Lotion

I found this lurking in my bathroom cupboard and decided to try it because it contained almonds. It has (I don’t know whether to talk about these things in past or present tense) a fairly thick consistency that soaks into the skin quickly and easily. I was hoping that, as it contains almonds, it would help with eczema flare ups but sadly it did no such thing. It is a good moisturiser but I won’t be repurchasing it.

Well that’s removed a few products from my empties box but it’s still overflowing. Excuse me while I stare in utter confusion at it.
