Empties: February 2025

L'Occitane Lavande Hand Cream | I liked the formula on this hand cream, it sinks in quickly and the scent does linger. I wouldn't repurchase as it is strongly scented of lavender which isn't my favourite.

L'Occitane Rose Citron Meyer Hand Cream | Again I like the formula on this, and again I'd not repurchase as the scent is strongly rose scented which isn't something I'd choose.

Wild Refillable Lipbalm Santa's Kisses | This had the improved recipe and the formula was smooth and nourishing. The scent is mildly minty, not sure what 'Santa's Kisses' is supposed to be.

Soap and Glory Fruity Shower Gel | As the name suggests the scent on this was generically fruity. It was okay, smelt nice and lathered well. I'd not repurchase as I prefer other shower gels more.

John Frieda Hair Foam | I  like the foam because one box goes a long way and covers my long hair. The dye does wash out of my hair after a couple of months but it also means there isn't a harsh demarcation line of roots. I will repurchase at some point.

Yankee Candle Munich Christmas Market | This candle was very much a disappointment, it had no scent throw and for the price it is not something I would repurchase.

Review: OPI Avojuice - Jasmine

OPI Avojuice - Jasmine Hand and Body Lotion

"A rich, alluring scent of blooming jasmine with a hint of citrus and violet, with smooth, rich moisturisers plus nourishing Avocado and healing Aloe extracts" - LenaWhite

This hand lotion has to be the best day time, on the go hand lotion I have tried.

+ Sinks in quickly

+ Stops hands feeling dry

+ Doesn't leave your hands feeling greasy or oily

+ Smells amazing

+ Scent lingers for a long time

+ 30ml is a great size for the handbag

- Not a intensive hand cream

- Scent may be over powering if you are sensitive to smells

If Jasmine isn't a favourite scent of yours there are other scents available, I've tried a couple of these and they all smell amazing and work in the same way.

30ml - £2.25
