Monthly Empties: March 2025


Nails Inc Electric Teal | Dark green cream polish, it was free with a magazine in 2011. I liked it and tried using it as a base for glitter this past month but couldn't get any more out [swatch].
W7 Salt n Pepper | This was a black speckled glitter in a white base, when I went to use it though it has bled and turned grey and also was chunky, it was from 2012 so time to dispose of [swatch].
A Certain Becca Lacquer Snow Pixie | Scent dupe of Lush's Snow Fairy, I liked the scent and the formula. The dropper bottle was also nice as I could apply on cuticles and under nails. Only issue was with the label falling off but the product itself was great and I would repurchase.


Garnier Ambre Solaire SPF 50 | I'd had this a year so was time to get rid, it works with or without make up and doesn't leave a white cast. I have since repurchased.
Simple Moisturisng Facial Wash | I used this three times and every time it left my face really tight and dry, then the next day my skin started peeling. It was anything but moisturising and once I worked out what was causing my skin issues I just had to stop using. Would not repurchase!


Superdrug Fruity Orange and Satsuma Shower Gel | Basic shower gel, smells of oranges. I would repurchase.
Aldi Lacura Sweet Angel Shower Gel | Scent dupe of Lush Snow Fairy, another good basic shower gel scented of sweet pear drops. I would repurchase.
Soap and Glory Call of Fruity Body Scrub | A thick scrub which is nice as it actually stuck to me as I was using it. The scent was generic fruity, I don't have much of a want for body scrub so wouldn't repurchase.


Avon Sunkissed Sunsets Bubble Bath | Creates a fair amount of bubbles, scent was slightly masculine and did linger on my skin. Not sure I would repurchase this scent.
Lush Lugosi Bubble Bar | Created a lot of bubbles, looked like a vampire and was scented of blackberries. I think it was supposed to glow in the dark but I didn't check for that. I did find it left the bath dark and so required extra scrubbing afterwards so not a repurchase.
Lush Punkin Pumpkin Bath Bomb | Shaped like a pumpkin. Scent was vague lime, cinnamon and pepper. I don't think I would repurchase this.
Baylis & Harding Bath Soak Crystals | I got these as part of a gift, I didn't find they were particularly scented and didn't notice any extra relaxing properties than a bath without them.

Then and Now Throwback Nails: Lilac Animal Print

Originally I did these nails in 2010 and then again in 2013, plenty of time has passed and thought I would try again. My nails are now longer and a different shape to previously, the stamped image doesn't quite look right as it is too short for my nails.
