Blender Life...

I honestly believe I am the last person in the Makeup world that was yet to get my hands on the Real Techniques Complexion Sponge (Beauty Blender). I finally decided to take the plunge when I walked into Superdrug and found out that it was buy 1 get one 50% off! So you know I had to make them mine and see what all the fuss was all about.

I have used it once and found it to be EXTREMELY soft. I have not had the chance to touch or use the original beauty blenders so cannot compare but I can say that my foundation was blended in like a dreammmmmmm! I will let you know how I feel about it properly later after a few more uses.

I am already in love... Such a whore with my emotions right lol!

Loreal Skincare Range

Hey lovelies,

As you know a few months ago I purchased the new Loreal range to test out and see if it was any good.

L'oreal Gentle Eye Make-up Remover

I was really excited to try out this product as I am a great lover of eyeshadow and waterproof mascara. This claims to remove all make-up including waterproof make-up using a non-greasy formula. It is also said to be great for sensitive eyes as well as contact lens wearer. 

Now one thing I can really say is that it sure is gentle. Maybe a little too gentle as I found myself having to really scrub to be able to get even the normal mascara off. This as we now can be bad to the eye area as it has thinner skin and can be damaged easily. So with all of that said I will not be repurchasing it.

L'oreal Skin Perfection Micellar Solution

The micellar solution claims to remove all traces of make-up and draws out impurities and excess oils form the skins surface. It is said to also tone the skin. This one micellar is a cheaper alternative to the Bioderma micellar solution that has had the blog world going crazy. This feels like water and has an extremely light scent. It does what it says by removing the last traces of makeup from my face after I have cleaned my face with my face wash.

L'oreal Radiance Revealing Gentle Exfoliator

Now this face wash is probably my least favourite out of the three products. This product is 'designed and proven to remove makeup and impurities revealing a better texture'. I really feel like this done nothing for my skin. Like absolutely nothing. What I also found was that it did not clean my face as well as I expected it to, so ended up haing to wash it again with another product. And I thought it was also pointless that it could only be used once a day. 

Overall I can see the aim of these products, but in my own opinion the only product I may be repurchasing is the micellar solution. Hope this was helpful if you were considering this range.

November Empties...

Hey behbees,

This month has been kind of a struggle month to get through products if I was to be totally honest. As usual I didn't give up and managed to use up the following...

Superdrug Baby Shampoo

Now before you say 

"Erm Rems, for why?"

It was not for my hair but to wash my makeup brushes with! I like using baby shampoo to wash my brushes as it is really effective in cleaning them but also really gentle so does not damage the bristles.

 Visibly Clear Spot Stress Control Cleansing Lotion

This product is an amazing product. I bought it to just try it and see how it works out and I love it. I use it after washing my face both morning and night to get all the remaining dirt that my cleanser may have missed. I can certainly say this has been a big contributing factor to my skin being as clear as it has been recently.

Superdrug Vitamin E Intense Moisture Cream

This product is an amazing product for me! It has been great at helping my face feel well moisturised and look like it has some life in it. I think it may have something to do with the consistency. Either way I feel this will be a staple product throughout in regards to my skincare routine, and as usual I have another tub to get through all thanks to my old habits of buying products in 2s and 3s!

Neutrogena Visibly Clear 2-in-1 Wash/Mask

I loved the formula of this was and it done an AMAZING job at keeping blemishes and breakouts at bay! the fact that it can be used in two different ways meant that I did not actually need to separate products. I would definitely recommend this.

Garnier Soft Essential Comforting Toner

This toner is basically the dry skin version of the toner discussed in the August/September empties post. Again I used this product to remove the remainder of dirt left after cleansing. It was refreshing and gentle to my skin also.

Soft & Precious Petroleum Jelly

Please dont judge me for this product buutttt, I use this on my body. I mix it with my lotion and oil then use it. I have done so since I was very young and it has been working well for me! It just helps my skin feel sooooo soft! 

That is all I have for the month of November! What are your empties? I would love to know and I will see you in my next post x

August/September Empties

Hey Behbees,

So I know you probably thought that I had given up on my whole trying to go through all the products I already have but..... NOPE!

I just hadn't used up as much as I wanted in August so I just decided to combine it with the September empties also!

Body Shop Strawberry Beauty Oil

This oil I bought when I used to have an unhealthy obsession with Body Shop products and could not pass the sho without entering and spending money when it was not needed! It's those bloody vouchers that they give you that traps you lol! But I am glad I finished it because it was nothing greaaat in all honest but hey it was nice to try sha.

Garnier Fresh Essentials Refreshing Cleansing Lotion

This product was bought when I was trying to find the perfect items to incorporate into my skin care. I like it because it works and I used it to take off my makeup before washing my face and I actually have nothing negative to say about it! I may repurchase if I don't find any other products that are more effective than it!

Castor Oil

What is there to say? Everyone knows about castor oil and that it is amazing for promoting hair growth and thickness. This bottle lasted me over 2years! I mixed it with other carrier oils due to it being so thick in consistency! It was my staple product when I was serious about looking after my relaxed locks back then. I still use castor oil (that is a whole other post) but I love the fact that it lasted so long and if my memory serves me right that 1litre bottle cost me around the £10 mark. I cannot lie this will be repurchased very soon.

Victoria Secrets Coconut Passion Lotion

This purchase was not planned but also not regretted! I love the Vicky Secrets scents because they make you smell so scrumptious and leave the skin feeling amazing! I like this scent because it is not overpowering but also a delicate type of sweet! I have found myself loving off the Victoria Secrets lotions/ butters and I'm yet to find something that treats my skin better and smells as great.

Clinique

This came in the Clinique set that I bought a whole ago and I was actually surprised that it lasted as long as it did. It was an okay product but not something I would reconsider buying again especially not for the price that they are.

Neutrogena Visibly Clear Pink Grapefruit Oil Free Moisturiser

This was basically a standard moisturiser with a grapefruit scent. That is it. I didn't notice it making my skin clear or anything exciting like that. Soooo yeah I'm glad it's finished.

Garnier Fresh Essentials Refreshing Toner
I used this product after I had cleaned my face in the morning and evening to get the remainder of dirt off my face. I like this product because of the fact that it was really refreshing and cooled my skin.

Nivea Double Efferct Makeup Remover
When I first bought this I really liked it. I then started to notice that it was not working as well to remove my eye make up even though it claimed to remove even waterproof make up. I just stopped liking this product and ended up having to use something else to remove my eye make up as well as this, which was really pointless.

My name is Remmy & I have a PROBLEM…..

Yep, I am here to inform you all of this BIG and SHAMEFUL problem that I have. 

So basically I have come to the realisation that I am a product junkie. I have more products than I can actually use. I then decided to come with a way to solve this problem by using them. 

I have decided to aim to use 3 products up by the end of each month without re-stocking till I am all out of products, and only when all my stock build-up has been depleted will I go and but the products that work for me and stick to it.

This month I have started off well by using up the following products that are shown below.

Clinique Liquid Facial Soap
The first item is the Clinique face wash from the 3 step sample size pack that I purchased a while back. I really liked this product at first but I just seemed to leave it and move on to something else. I doubt that I will be repurchasing if I am honest.

Allways Natural Indian Hemp Cream
In all honesty I cannot actually tell you how long I have had this hair cream for. I tend to use it more whenever I have braids in because I tend to get really itchy scalp and this cream just tames that itch. I already have a replacement for it which I am going to use as soon as the braids go in!

Midnight Fantasy Perfume
This perfume was given to me by Mumsy after I bought her the larger version. There was about half in it at the time but kept it when there was like 5 sprays remaining and didn't want to finish it. Eventually I had to :-(

Neutrogena Visibly Clear Moisturiser
This product was a struggle to finish product. The reason being that the formula seemed to leave me really dry which I really did not like! I used it to moisturise in the morning but moisturised with another product in the evenings. Again another product which I would not be purchasing again.

Victoria Secret Pure Seduction Body Butter
I love this product so finishing this was no problem at all. I tend to have quite a few of these as spare as people tend to get it for me when they travel to the US (before the store came to the UK). I love the scent of this and leaves my skin realllyyyy soft. I tend to mix it with vaseline when I use it (don't judge until you try it)!

Clinique Clarifying Lotion
Again this came as part of the 3 step set. I used this product as told (Morning and evening) but I hated this product as it left my face feeling really dry and tight which was the opposite of what it was meant to be doing. So I stopped using it. A friend then suggested I use it once a day instead and that seemed to work so much better. Re-purchase? probably not.. sorry!

Vanilla Eau De Toilette
This has to be my signature scent. Like seriously this smells AMAZING and I got it from The Body Shop. I even got a few friends onto the product and now they are hooked. It is not too overpowering but lasts for most of the day.

Hopefully I will keep this up and have more empties to show you by the end is August!

Are you a product junkie? Let me know and maybe we can embark on this 'journey' together lol
