Empties: August 2024

No nail products used this month, but I'm getting close to finishing a cuticle oil.


Lush Karma Perfume | The scent of karma, is very patchouli based, but there is also musky, orange in there too. Lush used to describe it as being their signature scent, I will be repurchasing.
Beekman Fresh Air Lipbalm | This was a gift, has a light clean scent. It is moisturising and does what you would expect from a lip balm. I have others I prefer and so wouldn't repurchase.
Nivea Lipbalm | It's a basic lipbalm, scented typically of Nivea and it leaves a waxy film behind. This tube snapped so was hard to use up. I'd not repurchase.


Alberto Balsam Conditioner | Silicone free, low cost conditioner. It is conditioning enough for my hair and is heavily creamy, raspberry scented. I would repurchase this.
Lush Bob Soap | I moved house earlier this year and found a lot of Lush soap from a very long time ago. This was a deep green colour, easily suds up and leaves my skin soft and smelling nice. The scent is definitely of "Lush" but whether that is what it smelled like originally I'm uncertain. Seeing as I found a good few bars I'll not repurchase soap anytime soon.
Umberto Giannini Curl Whip Mousse | I liked this mousse, but it was heavily fragranced. It's CG friendly, it doesn't have enough hold to use without gel on my hair. I have other mousses to use but may repurchase.

Empties: July 2024

Just seven products finished this past month;


CeraVe Moisturising Cream | Very thick, intense moisturiser which is designed for very dry skin. I like this and have repurchased it.
Nivea Night Cream | I didn't like the scent, the formula was too oily and it wasn't moisturising enough for my skin. I've read they now have a new formula but I won't be purchasing.
L'Occitane Herbae Hand Lotion | This sinks in quickly, the scent does linger, it isn't my favourite scent but I really like the formula. I may repurchase if I didn't have many others to get through.
Lip Smacker Cherry Cola | This lip balm texture is what I prefer, isn't too hard to split my lips nor too soft it leaves my lips very slippy. I would repurchase however I have plenty within my collection.


Umberto Giannini Grow Long Shampoo and Conditioner | It is too soon to say whether this helped grow long hair, it is coco / coffee scented and they left my hair feeling clean and soft. I would repurchase these.
John Frieda Hair Dye 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.
