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.

June Empties

I now this post is a bit late since tomorrow will be August, but better late than never I suppose.
So let's have a look at what products I used in June and my thoughts about them.

NATURES ORGANICS Wild Lavender Shower Milk - 400ml
I love the scent of lavender  so I was pretty happy with this shower milk. I am a big  fan of Natures Organics products because they are organic, Australia and are very affordable too.
Would I repurchase? Probably, I liked it.

NUDE BY NATURE Nature's Super Anti-Oxidant Foaming Cleanser - 60ml
I really did not like the lid on this bottle because it made things difficult to get the product out. The cleanser worked fine, but it was nothing special.
Would I repurchase? Maybe if it was on sale.

REXONA Passion All Day Dryness Deodorant
I don't really like the scent that this deodorant had when it was working.
Would I repurchase? No

BURT'S BEES Milk and Honey Body Lotion - 25g
I liked this but I thought it smelt a bit weird. I think some people might find the smell to be off putting, I've seen some one describe it as 'off milk'. Best to smell it before you buy it.
Would I repurchase? No, I think I prefer other body lotions over this one.

SHE Wash Away Milk Cleanser - 30 ml sample
I had never used a milk cleanser before but I loved this cleanser. It smelt amazing and I enjoyed the way that it made my skin afterwards.
Would I repurchase? Yes, I would probably get it if I saw it on special. Personally don't like to spend too much on my cleanser products.

CLEAR Total Nourishing Care Conditioner - 50ml sample
I thought that this was okay and it smelt nice.
Would I repurchase? No I prefer other conditioners over this one.

VASELINE Anti-ageing Body Lotion- 25ml sample
This smells really nice, however I don't think I my body needs an anti-ageing lotion (I'm only 26).
Would I repurchase? No, I don't think I need a product like this yet.

 ROMY Eucalyptus Lemongrass Shampoo and Conditioner samples
I took these from a hotel room I stayed at, and they smell lovely.
Would I repurchase? No, I think they are too expensive for what they are.

BURT'S BEES Hand Salve 8.5g
I didn't like the packaging because it was difficult to open, and I thought it left my hands feeling greasy afterwards leaving me to put marks on things.
Would I repurchase? No

SCHWARZKOPF Omega Repair BB Beauty Balm- sample
This is a beauty balm for your hair, I guess it is the bb cream version for hair. I didn't like using this I felt like it weighed down my hair (I might have used too much at once though).
Would I repurchase? No

RIMMEL LONDON BB cream Matte Medium- 1.5 ml sample
When I first put this on I thought it made me look a bit orange, it looked better afterwards. I think I might need to wear it more than once to decide if I like it or not.
Would I repurchase? I think I would like to give it a decent try so I would for that purpose, since I normally really enjoy Rimmel products.

L'OREAL Everpure Shampoo and Conditioner- sample
These smelt nice but the thing I remember the most about using this is that the shampoo foamed a lot. I don't think I've ever used anything that foamed as much.
Would I repurchase? No.

SIMPLE Cleansing Facial Wipes - Sample 7 wipes
I thought these were okay. I would be happy to use them again
Would I repurchase? I would but I prefer wot not facial wipes.
