July: Used, Abused And Reviewed.

 Living Nature Vitalising Cleanser & Balancing Night Gel Samples: I cant really remember much about either of these but they were really tiny samples with nomore than one use each.
  Would I Repurchase? Not sure.
Origins GinZing Eye Cream Sample x2: GinZing is a product I've always been tempted to purchase. Reviews are nearly always good so I was excited to try it out. I got around a months use from both sachets and yes it illuminates the eye area slightly but thats it, it didnt depuff as it claims.
Would I Repurchase? Maybe.
Sally Hansen Insta-Dri: Dries out and goes gloopy far too quickly but its still a brilliant product.
Would I Repurchase? Already have.
Batiste Tropical Dry Shampoo: I love Batiste and tropical is probably my favourite one but the mini 50ml doesnt last long at all.
Would I Repurchase? Yes but only in full size and I want to try cherry next.
Green People Gentle Cleanse Make Up Remover & Cleanser*: Lovely cleanser. Left my face feeling really soft and removed make up well. You can read my full review here
Would I Repurchase? Not at the minute.
Burts Bees Naturally Nourishing Milk & Honey Body Lotion: Gorgeous scent, I couldnt stop sniffing myself everytime I used this. Done a decent job of moisturising but its maybe not the best for people with really dry skin. Its nice and light for summer though.
Would I Repurchase? Undecided.
L'Oreal Color Riche Nail in Opera Ballerina: One of my all time favourite polishes. I just love this and wear it atleast once a week. Click here for swatches.
Would I Repurchase? Yes and I already have. :)
 Beyond Organic Replenishing Hand Cream*: I reviewed this back in feb (link)
Would I Repurchase? Its such a rich cream so I would only purchase it during the colder months as my hands arent overly dry.
Liz Earle Skin Repair Moisturiser in Dry/Sensitive: The Skin Repair Moisturisers just dont suit my skin at all. Even the Light option still leaves my skin greasy but I've been using it as a neck cream.
Would I Repurchase? No.

So thats everything I got through this month. Have you posted your empties posts yet? Link them below so I can have a nosey.

  3. Insta-Dri is a life saver for me. I hated painting my nails because I would always smudge it. I no longer have to plan a day where I do nothing just so I don't ruin them. I'm too impatient lol.

    1. I wouldnt paint my nails at all now if I didnt have a quick dry top coat. It makes everything so much quicker and easier and you dont wake up with lovely sheet marks the next day. lol

  4. i have the same problem with the sally hansen insta-dri, but i find that if i add a bit of nail polish remover (nail polish thinner doesnt do anything to it) it's all nice and thin again!

    1. Thats what I do, done a post on it a while back. Without adding thinner I wouldnt even be able to use half the bottle but I managed to almost get to the end. :)
