November Empties

Happy new year everyone! Sorry for this belated post I had planned to post this last year, but between Christmas and New Years I was super busy. My little girl is heading to preschool this year, so I am hoping I will be able to post more frequently on this blog when the school term starts.
Lets have a look at the products I used during the month of November.

NATURE'S ORGANICS Wild Berry Conditioner
I try to use organic shampoo and conditioners because I have a skin issues on my neck and scalp. This works fine and is very affordable.
Repurchase? Yes

NUTRIMETRICS Nutri-Rich Bath Oil 
This smelt lovely and as a soap worked fine.
Repurchase? No, I think they are too pricey for what it is.

RIMMEL Apocalips Lip Lacquer in 100 Phenomenon and 303 Apocaliptic
I was really disappointed in these products. They smelt a bit weird and smudged a lot. The Apocaliptic one was a beautiful colour but the smudge factor was just too off putting for me so in the bin it goes. I have a more detailed review of these lip lacquers here
Repurchase? No.

AVON Ultra Color lip crayon in A400 Carefree Coral
I have an Avon lip stick in the same colour which I quite like and when these lip crayons were first released they were on sale. To my disappointment this lip crayon has visible bits of glitter in it, and I am not really into glitter on my lips. I did try it out and ended up with glitter all over my face, so this product is just not to my liking.
Repurchase? No due to the glitter factor.

BURT'S BEES Lip Balm Acai Berry
Burt's Bee lip balms are one of my favourite lip balms, I have heaps of them stashed around my home. I also quite like the scent of this berry one.
Repurchase? Yes. I'm always buying Burt's Bee balms.

WHITE GLO Whitening Toothpaste Coffee and Tea Drinker's Formula sample
I got this sample from a show bag I think. I'm not sure if it made my teeth any whiter but I like the feel of this toothpaste, it made my mouth feel really fresh.
Repurchase? Maybe.

SCHICK Hydro Silk Razor
I've replaced this razor with the exact same one because I think this is a really good quality razor.
Repurchase? Yes, I already have a spare one. 

TIMELESS TRUTH Green Tea Phenol Soothing Mask
I try to do mask treatment once or twice a week but I don't normally do sheet masks, probably because they tend to not fit my face properly (small face so eye bits don't tend to match up). I thought this was okay but I didn't notice any difference afterwards.
Repurchase? No.

GAIA Body Moistruriser Pink Grapefruit and Jasmine
Like most Gaia products this smells nice, and felt nice.
Repurchase? Maybe, I like to  buy the Gaia skin care range packs which includes this.

CLAIROL Colour Radiance Shampoo sample
I don't have coloured hair but I still gave this a try. I thought that this smelt nice and seem to foam a lot than other shampoos do.
Repurchase? Since I don't colour my hair no.

PANTENE Pro V Daily Moisture Renewal Shampoo and Conditioner samples
I've had a few of these sample and they seem okay, but do not really stand out to me.
Repurchase? No

St Ives Naturally Smooth Body Lotion
I thought as a lotion is was fine and non greasy, however to be honest I didn't like the smell.
Repurchase? No, I dislike the scent.

NEUTROGENA Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunscreen  Lotion SPF30+ sample
I liked this sample because it was a great size for carrying around in my bag. I thought it was fine but don't rub your eye area when wearing this, it tends to sting.
Repurchase? Maybe.

SAVVY Make Up Remover Wipes
I brought these when they were in the clearance bin. They are okay make up wipes but I much prefer other brands. I did like the texture of these wipes.
Repurchase? Probably not.

MOR Hand Cream Neroli Clementine sample
I really liked this hand cream sample and it smells so good.
Repurchase? Possibly.

BIO OIL sample
I use to use this all the time in my early 20s, although I am not too sure if it made much of a difference at the time with my scars and sketch marks.
Repurchase? Maybe.

WOTNOT Facial Wipe sample
I have had a few of these samples and I have to admit I love getting them so I don't actually have to buy this myself. I think this wipe works well and has the right amount of wetness for my liking. This and the Fuss Free Natural wipes would have to be my favourite facial wipes.
Repurchase? Yes.

AVEENO Daily Moisturising Lotion sample
I've had a few of these Aveeno samples too but I am not so impressed with them. They are fine but nothing special in my opinion.
Repurchase? Maybe.

MODEL CO Double Sided Wipe sample
I thought this wipe was good and liked the texture of it.
Repurchase? Maybe if it was on sale, so I can give it a proper trial.

MODEL CO Exfoliating Cream facial scrub sample
I really liked this facial scrub. I do appreciate that this line is a natural skincare range so this scrub will not have nasty micro beads in it (they are bad for the environment).
Repurchase? Yes.

MODEL CO  Soothing Moisturiser day and night sample
I actually don't recall anything about using this sample, so I'm thinking that it was okay since it was not very memorable ha ha.
Repurchase? No.

LOREAL Elvive Extraordinary Oil sample
This hair oil can be used in a few different ways; before shampooing, as a mask treatment, before styling or as a finishing touch. I tried this as a hair mask treatment. I think my hair felt slightly nicer afterwards.
Repurchase? No.

PALMER"S Skin Therapy Oil rose hip fragrance sample
This smelt nice and felt nice. Too small of a sample to judge how well it works
Repurchase? Maybe
