Cosrx Acne Pimple Master Patches - £4.64 for 24 patches
from Amazon
These have got to be my favourite blemish busting treatment.
Ever since I read about them earlier this year on Ruth Crilly’s (A Model
Recommends) blog I immediately purchased them from Amazon and never looked
back. I will be doing a separate review on these but all I will say is they
have been repurchased many times and I love them! They are cheap, extremely
effective and are a hygienic way to treat spots that appear.
Elemis Skin Nourishing Body Scrub – 50ml Ebay! £28.50
from Look Fantastic for 200ml
As I say I purchased this from eBay as I was looking for a
gentle scrub that wasn’t in a massive bottle or tub. Ebay is my go to for lots
of beauty products, Elemis being a brand I follow to see what new things are
being listed! I bought this scrub along with the Shower cream in the range and
I absolutely loved it! It’s nice and gentle whilst still feeling ‘scrubby’,
packed with lovely nourishing oils that leave skin super smooth and soft. The
smell is what sells it for me though! Very relaxing aroma…
Elemis Skin Nourishing Body Soothing Shower Cream 300ml
£25 from Look Fantastic
I also bought this from eBay but it’s definitely one I would
pay full price for. The smell is gorgeous, extremely relaxing. Definitely one
for an evening when you are wanting to unwind and inhale the beautiful scent.
Leaves skin extremely soft. Will be a repurchase at some point I am sure.
Garnier Micellar Water 125ml £1.99 Boots
This is a bloody bargain and a definite dupe for Bioderma!
It removes makeup so easily and feels nice and refreshing on the skin, I
personally use the sensitive one as it’s so gentle and doesn’t irritate my
eyes. I like that this bottle is very portable and despite the size it lasts a
long time! Especially if you are like me and only use micellar waters to remove
your eye and lip makeup.
Loreal True Match Touch Magique Concealer £7.99 Boots
I enjoyed using this concealer to brighten up my under eye
area and hide those dreaded dark circles. It worked very well and blended
beautifully without creasing throughout the day. I am trying to use up a couple
of other concealers at the moment but this will definitely be a repurchase. For
the price the quality is fantastic! In fact, I like most of the ‘True Match’
range including the foundation and other concealer.
Balance Me Super Moisturising Body Wash 200ml £9.00 Look
Fantastic
I got this on one of my TKMaxx trips, whenever I go in that
store I always pick up shower gels and hand washes for my bathroom! For me I
didn’t love this. It’s not as moisturising as it makes out and the scent smells
strongly of lavender to me, which is ok but it’s not a scent I look for in a
shower gel. If you like sulphate free then this may be a good one for you. It
contains yarrow, patchouli and shea butter plus other nice ingredients (99%
natural) but for some reason lavender is the prominent smell for me in this. I
won’t be repurchasing.
Emma Hardie Moringa Cleansing Balm 50ml from the Starter
Kit £25.00 M&S
I have already recently reviewed this balm here http://www.blushandsage.co.uk/2016/10/emma-hardie-moringa-cleansing-balm.html so won’t go
into too much detail but I love it! It will be a repurchase for me at some
point as I love the smell, texture and think it works extremely well to remove
makeup and impurities. My skin feels so clean and nourished after using it,
plus I like it as a face mask as well. Next time I may try it left on my skin
overnight as a treatment…
Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair II 50ml £72.00 Boots
Having fell in love with this serum back in the early part
of this year it will always hold a special place in my heart, it was the first
serum I loved and I have reviewed it in full here http://www.blushandsage.co.uk/2016/09/estee-lauder-advanced-night-repair.html. This will be a repurchase
for me but not yet as I am currently trying other serums that better suit my
skin age. I recently had a facial and was advised that this product wasn’t
necessary for me to use right now and might be causing congestion as I was using it
day and night :/ Like I said, I love this serum as it leaves skin so glowy and
bright but this is something I may return to when I start reaching my thirties,
farewell my trusted friend...for now!
Simple Micellar Water 200ml £4.49 Boots
Again another of these magic waters used up! I didn’t enjoy
this as much as the Garnier, although gentle I didn’t find it as effective at
removing eye makeup and had to apply a bit more effort. Great for sensitive
skins but just not one I would repurchase.
Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair II Eye Cream 15ml
£40.00 Boots
Now this is one expensive eye cream but I always buy the 5ml
pots on eBay, and that’s the size of the one here. I love it and have repurchased
many pots at around £9 a pop. Not too bad and is less damaging to my purse
strings than the 15ml version! The texture is like a whipped gel that feels
soothing and hydrating on the skin. It brightens up the under eye area
instantly and over time I believe it does reduce dark circles and fine lines.
This will be a repurchase for me but I am testing out a few other brands at the
moment. I don’t really need anything anti-aging at the minute but I am keen to
continue using this as I think it will help prevent deep lines around my eye
area as I get older.
Tata Harper Hydrating Floral Essence 15ml (travel size)
£54.00 for 50ml or £70.00 for 125ml
This face mist came as part of a trial set from Tata Harper,
such an excellent way to try products before committing to the full sizes. I
have a stickler for face mists/spritzes whatever you want to call them, but there
is no way I would spend this kind of money on one. This TH essence is lovely
and it does help hydrate your skin (I tend to apply in the ‘toner’ stage before
serum) but it doesn’t do anything super amazing for my skin. I like the
ingredients and the mist layers over the skin nicely absorbing without
tackiness or leaving residue but £54 for 50ml! Come on! I just can’t. Don’t get
me wrong if there was a good deal floating about then I would definitely
repurchase as the scent is beautiful and it balances skin leaving a nice canvas
for other products to follow. But for now I will be using up some other face
mists that are lurking about in my collection…
That’s it for my October empties, I have some more products
finishing soon so look forward to sharing those with you at the end of
November! Can’t believe how quick the time is going!
Thanks for reading xx
