July Empties

Opps it seems that I am a bit behind with my empties posts, but better late than never I guess. So let have a look at the products I used up in July and my thoughts about them

ORGANIC CARE Normal balance shampoo and ORGANIC CARE Normal balance conditioner (full size)
I am a big fan of organic hair  products, they are affordable and make my hair feel great. I also get eczema on my scalp so I find organic product to be more gentle and less likely to flare up my skin issues.
Repurchase: Yes and I have brought this shampoo and conditioner many times.

AVON Naturals Body Care Cherry Blossoms (full size)

I got this pretty cheaply when it was on sale, I just had to grab it because I love cherry blossoms. This smelt nice, and was okay for a shower gel.
Repurchase: If it was on sale I would consider it.

SHE mascara (full size)

I received this mascara in the colour brown from one of my subscription boxes. To be honest I was not that pleased when I first got it because my eyelashes are black, so I thought brown mascara was a bit pointless. I tried it anyway and I didn’t think it was anything special. The brown colour was not as bad as I thought it would be on me, but naturally it didn’t make my eye lashes stand out as much as black does.
Repurchase: No, I didn't think it was anything special, and I personally prefer waterproof mascara.

SUKIN Facial Moisturiser (sample)
I am fan of Sukin products. Sukin are Australian owned and made, carbon neutral, organic, paraben free, vegan and do not test on animals; so what is there not to love about them. I thought this facial moisturiser was good and I really liked the smell as well. After using this product I went out and brought a whole bunch of Sukin products.
Repurchase: I already have a full sized bottle stored away.

HERBAL ESSENCES Shampoo and HERBAL ESSENCES Conditioner (sample)
I thought these samples were okay, they smell really nice. These products are paraben and colourant free which I liked.
Repurchase: Probably not.

CLEAR Nourishing Shampoo (sample)
I thought this shampoo was okay, but I prefer to use organic or at least paraben free hair products.
Repurchase: No

ROMY Body Wash and Shampoo in Eucalyptus Lemongrass & Lime (samples)
I loved the smell of these Romy products and I quite liked them. I love how Romy doesn't use nasty chemicals in their products, but for me I think their products are a bit out of my price range. 
Repurchase: Maybe if I found them on sale.

 

ESLOR Soothing Refiner & Cleanser, Soothing Cream, Replenishing Scrub and Comforting Mask (samples) 

On a whole I really enjoyed using these samples of an expensive brand that I probably would not have had a chance to try out otherwise (I received these in a subscription box). The comforting mask was my favourite, I have never tried a mask that nice before and you could tell it was expensive product. I also really like the scrub as well especially that it didn't contain micro beads (rubbing your face with plastic beads is gross in my opinion).

Repurchase: Sadly the full sized products are expensive so I don't think I will.

GAIA Foaming Cleanser (sample)
I really enjoy using Gaia products. I find they work well and they are Australian and organic. This cleanser smells lovely and I like how it foams up.
Repurchase: I already have a full sized bottle of cleanser. I've purchased Gaia a few times before and I probably will again in the future.

MARY KAY Botanical Effects Mask (sample)
This sample was tiny I barely had enough to cover up my entire face. I thought it was okay but it is hard to tell with only one try if it makes a difference or not.
Repurchase: No.
