EMPTIES : JAN-MAR





A lot of empties for one body/face...

I like a good mix of things. Drugstore, Fun to Fancy. Being on a budget makes me conscious of spending money on both value and results. I don't need a fancy fragrance or bottle when I can get the results from something that has no scent and comes from a plastic pump. Here are my recent empties, what they claim and whether I'll Repeat or Forget. 




CERAVE 
SA cleanser
CLAIMS: removes dirt and oil, smoothing
FORGET or REPEAT: REPEAT
Simple but effective, does the job and is great value for money.
NEUTROGENA Hydro Boost Night Concentrate
CLAIMS: hydrating, visibly smooth skin
FORGET or REPEAT: REPEAT
Leaves my skin fresh and super dewy, good for very dry skin or repair days.

GLOW RECIPE
Avocado Sleeping Mask

CLAIMS: hydrating, gently exfoliates
FORGET or REPEAT: REPEAT
I like Avocado in masks, the fatty oils plump my skin leaving it hydrated.









DERMALOGICA
Special Cleansing Gel
CLAIMS: removes impurities, soothes
FORGET or REPEAT: REPEAT
A good all rounder, especially when my skin is sensitive.

AVENE
Thermal Spring Water

CLAIMS: soothes, calms
FORGET or REPEAT: FORGET
A fancy thermal water gun? Harmless but nothing amazing.
THE ORDINARY 1% Retinol in Squalane
CLAIMS: anti-aging, photo damage
FORGET or REPEAT: REPEAT
A strong retinol that I see eventual results with skin clarity.








FRESH Lotus Youth Preserve Moisturiser
CLAIMS: strengthen, softens, hydrates
FORGET or REPEAT: FORGET
I liked it, but I felt the same results from the Neutrogena Night Concentrate.

THE ORDINARY Buffet + Copper Peptides 1%
CLAIMS: skin health, anti-aging
FORGET or REPEAT: FORGET
It's not a bad serum but I prefer the results I get from using NIOD CAIS. 
FRESH
Soy Cleanser

CLAIMS: removes impurities, soothes
FORGET or REPEAT: FORGET
Does the job, but I prefer the value I get from the  CeraVe SA Cleanser.








BRIOGEO
Scalp Revival Treatment
CLAIMS: detoxifies, soothes
FORGET or REPEAT: REPEAT
A few drops after showering and I had less itch and scalp dryness.

VIRTUE LABS
Full Shampoo/Conditioner

CLAIMS: thickens, volumises, hydrates
FORGET or REPEAT: REPEAT. 
My hair has more body and strength after only using for a month. Worth the price tag.
NIOD Multi-Molecular Hyaluronic Complex
CLAIMS: hydrates
FORGET or REPEAT: REPEAT. 
A few drops helps my skin look and stay hydrated all day. Works well with other products.
