Empties......

Have more empties from April to mid May 2021.

Lets' have a quick chat about them....

Margaret Dabbs London intensive hydrating foot lotion - This goes for £14 for the 75ml. This should hydrate your feet essentially. In my opinion, would give this a 2 out of 5. While it did hydrate my feet and the lotion (thin lotion) did sink in, the hydration did not last.

Lasted about 3 hours. So for this to work, you must constantly rub into your feet throughout the day.

For the price, you can get much cheaper foot creams that work much better.

Glow recipe toner - Written a full review on this toner during the Glow recipe skincare challenge and the blog post can be found using this link; https://www.thoughtsantales.com/post/skincare-challenge-1-glow-recipe-review

Dirty works foam at last scrub - I really like this. Very good. A scrub that actually foams and deeply exfoliates. Right after use, your skin feels so soft. Its wonderful. Not to mention the smell. Just yummy. No regrets and will be looking to replace this soon. The best thing about this! The price £3.75!

Lavido age away replenishing cream - This should reduce dryness, wrinkles and nourish mature skin....Sigh....always think this sort of description is a gimmick and hardly ever does what it says. Why, this is certainly hydrating and yes reduces dryness and nourishes skin, no idea what the nourishing mature skin is all about. Is there a different way to nourish mature skin?

Please educate me! Either way, this goes for $69 for 50ml. Pretty expensive for what it is.

Bath and body works mango mandarin body lotion - This is hydrating but not enough for me. I do mix with Bio oil to get sufficient hydration. That way, it works for me. The scent is quite strong but quickly fades. Got on sale for $3.75.

Fresh soy face cleanser - PH balanced cleanser that lifts dirt and does not strip your skin. HATE this cleanser. Does nothing and I mean nothing! Seriously £12.50 for 50ml and £30 for 150ml.

Crazzzzzzy! For that price, just wash your face with water and be done. You get the same result.

Used the 50ml and still have a 150ml left. Donating it for the water lovers.

Sterile saline solution - safe way to clean your piercings. Love the travel bottles boots have available. Got one more piercing. Not saying where. Use your imagination....

Hydraluron moisture jelly - This is just Hyaluronic acid as a light jelly. Instructions states use after your serums. Ummm..no, I used this as a serum during my skincare routines and works better that way. Goes for £24.99 for 30ml. That is incredibly expensive hyaluronic acid serum...Will not re-purchase this. Can find similar product for £5 that works better. Save your £20.

Brazilian bum bum body wash - Story time! During the Sephora VIB sale, wanted to get his body wash...they had the 1000ml drum (that thing is huge) for sale, then I get 15% off, ching...worth it. However, before I purchased, needed to ensure this would work for me, no need to waste money. Got this 90ml bottle, Really foamy, long lasting and the scent....wrap me in cotton wool and call me spanky! Wonderful! I loved it. Lasted a long time. Puts you in a good mood.

Got the 1000ml drum.

Smashbox vitamin glow - I remember a while ago, I used to love smash box products but now, can hardly stand them. Just decluttered my smash box palettes. Lucky to have this primer as a mini from the sephora favourites set, just blah. Did nothing and was a struggle to get through this despite the size. Literally did nothing....well, it did lay well on top of my skincare and sunscreen...so it does pass muster there....

Illamasqua primer - this jelly primer is just ok. Lays well on top of skincare and sunscreen. Give a subtle glow to your foundation. On application, its comes off a little tacky and grips your foundation which i love. This works fine, will not break any new grounds. Was given a sample size and a full size. Currently using the full size and for me, that says a lot. Will I buy myself? Probably not, have other primers I like better.

That is all the empties I have for now. Thanks for sticking this out to the end....my snarky side seems to be out today.

My next blog posts will be talking about a few topics I have been either discussing with one of my sisters or my mentee. They will be more on the serious side and we will be back to product reviews soon.

Stay tuned......
