August: Used, Abused And Reviewed.



Yankee Candle Vanilla Cupcake Room Spray: I've had this for absolutely ages, almost a year. The scent is so strong and lasts in a room for the whole day. The reason its lasted me so long is because sometimes I just cant handle how strong it is but once its had time to settle down it smells lovely and sweet.

Repurchase? Yes but maybe in a different scent.

Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish x2: I will NEVER be without this cleanser. Do I need to say anymore?

Repurchase? Always.

Davines Authentic Moisturising Balm For Face, Hair & Body: One of the best conditioners I've ever used! I didnt use it on my face or body so cant comment on how well it worked on those places but for the hair its amazing. I've been trying to make this tube last as long as possible but last week I reached the end. It was a sad, sad day.

Repurchase? Yes!

Vichy Micellar Solution: I'm sure you all know my thoughts on Micellar Water by now. I'm definitely not a fan. Every single one I've tried leaves my skin feeling tacky and doesnt remove mascara anywhere near as quick as a cleanser plus i cant be arsed with the amount of cotton pads it takes to smear make up all over my face instead of just removing it.

Repurchase? No

The Body Shop Earth Lovers Watermelon & Eucalyptus Shower Gel: This was ok, nothing special and a bit too runny for my liking.

Repurchase? Not unless it was on offer.

Stella By Stella McCartney: I've worn this scent for years but completely forgot about it untill I was looking through some old handbags and found it. Its not the type of scent I usually go for but its a firm favourite and has been for years.

Repurchase? Yes

Rimmel Sun Shimmer Bronzing Compact in Light Shimmer: I honestly cannot remember how old this is but its ancient! Came across it in an old make up and decided to use it up. Its an ok bronzer but left me looking a bit muddy and I wasnt a fan of the shimmer.

Repurchase? No

Montagne Jeunesse Deep Cleansing Nose Pore Strips: You can read my review here.

Repurchase? Yes

Montagne Jeunesse Iced Crystal Exfoliating & Cleansing Facial: Smells exactly like toothpaste which I found a bit off putting but it exfoliates really, really well. After exfoliating you leave it on your skin like a mask for 10-15 minutes and once removed your skin feels silky smooth. If you have sensitive skin do a patch test first to make sure the dead sea crystals arent too harsh on your skin.

Repurchase? Maybe

Montagne Jeunesse Strawberry Souffle Moisturising & Purifying Masque: This mask smells amazing, like strawberries and whipped cream. After removing I could see my face twinkling then noticed theres shimmer through the mask. Its nothing over the top but I dont want shimmer in my skin care. I didnt find it to be moisturisng at all, if anything it left my skin feeling a bit dry.

Repurchase? No

Montagne Jeuness Hot Chocolate Pore Cleansing Sauna Mask: I love masks that heat up or tingle my skin and this didnt disappoint. Its thick and gloopy, smells like chocolate and orange, leaves the skin feeling smooth and soft BUT it stained my muslin cloths.

Repurchase? Yes

All of the Montagne Jeunesse Masks I've tried so far contain enough product for two uses so they're definitely good value.

Samples:

Sanctuary Active Reverse Facial. 30 Day Thermal Transformation Two-Step Mask: This came with a Debenhams order. You apply the Peptide Transforming Serum first then the Thermal Rose Clay Mask on top. I love masks that heat up but this was just crazy, the heat was similar to leaning over a boiling kettle and felt far too harsh on my sensitive skin. My skin was left feeling smooth but I would be too scared to use this on a regular basis.

Repurchase? No

John Masters Blood Orange & Vanilla Body Wash: I seriously wanted to drink this, it smells soooooo good and the scent lasts on the skin for a decent amount of time. I wish it wasnt so pricey but its something I'll definitely pick up at some point.

Repurchase? Yes

John Masters Lavender & Avocado Intensive Conditioner | Honey & Hibiscus Hair Reconstructing Shampoo | Honey & Hibiscus Hair Reconstructor x2: I've loved every single John Masters hair product I've ever tried. The Honey & Hibiscus Hair Reconstructor has been on my need list for what seems like forever.

Repurchase? Yes!

Caudalie Vinosource SOS Thirst Quenching Serum: I only got two nights use from this sample but it worked so well on my dehydrated skin. The results were instant!

Repurchase? Definitely!
