October Empties...

Hey behbees,

I am actually really proud of myself for actually sticking to this challenge that I set in regards to using up my extra products. Again I have done well this month, so here is what I have used up...

Nivea Facial Cleansing Wipes

I bought these wipes as part of a multipack and likes the way it removed my makeup. I will say that baby wipes does the exact same job and is much cheaper sooo... yeah.

Vitamin E Oil

This product... I have had this oil for a very long time and it seemed like no matter how much I used it, it never seemed to end. As everyone and their mother knows Vitamin E is very good for the skin as well as dark spots on the face. I used this to battle my dark under eye area and can honestly say it worked. This product also works wonders in making your skin feel baby soft. Just saying.

Africa's Best Super Gro Cream

I had this cream specifically for when I had braids in. I used it every 4-5 days as I tend to get really dry/itchy scalp and found this to work really well. I am in two minds of whether it will be repurchased due to the new 'hair journey' that I have now embarked on.

Tea Tree Blemish Fade Night Lotion

This body shop lotion was my holy grail when I was really serious about my skincare (which I need to return to). I loved this because it was a product that I actually saw working for me in regards to fading the scars from spots that I had.

Rescue Oil

This is the poundland version for Bio-Oil and it took me FOREVERRR to get through this. Mainly because I always forgot to use it when I am doing the whole creaming ritual that we go through. But I now have the actual BioOil that I now need to get through. I am hoping I will be able to see a difference in my scars in a few months.

Victoria Secrets Pure Seduction Body Butter

I actually have nothing to say about this product seeing as I had already spoke about it in a previous empties post. I had it, I used it, I loved it. Simple.

Soap & Glory Scrub em n Leave em Body Scrub

This scrub was a sample size bought from Boots and as you know they usually do 3 for £5 on them. I bought it and added two other products that I really wanted to try from them after hearing loads of people ranting and raving about how lush their products were. I LOVE THIS. I would actually consider buying the full size version pretty soon. Highly recommend it and it also smells AMAZEBALLS!!

Aussie Miracle Moist Conditioner

This conditioner has been one of my staple products for when I do my deep conditions (which hasn't happened in a while due to protective styling). I love the fact that my hair feels super soft after it has been rinsed out and also really moisturised which was one of my major issues. This product is great.

I hope you enjoyed this post and have seen something that you are willing/looking to try. If you have tried any of the above products let me know in the comments section how they were for you.

See you in my next post.

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
