July Au Revoirs




WOAH!

Is it really August already?

Really into the second half of the year now. It has gone far too quickly but it has been good. In July I managed to use up quite a few products (and buy some too).




The products I finished in July are:

Chanel Lait Confort Creamy Cleansing Milk
A really nice cleanser that removed my makeup and cleaned my skin without drying it out. I will repurchase in the future but not the immediate future.

Chanel Lait Confort Silky Soothing Toner
I liked this alcohol free toner. It did not irritate my skin. As above I will repurchase eventually just not in the immediate future.

Bobbi Brown Repair Serum
This was a sample I received with a purchase from the Bobbi Brown counter. It was a nice serum though it only lasted about a week, not enough time to see any difference in my skin. Probably wouldn't purchase.

La Prairie Cellular Time Release Moisturiser
I got this 15ml sample from La Prairie for being one of their first 200 followers on Twitter. It was a nice moisturiser but I am not sure it is worth its price tag (around $115 for the 15ml sample).

Chanel Beaute Initiale Energizing Multi-Protection Cream
I really enjoyed using this moisturiser. It was very nourishing and I loved the scent. It is also great that it has an SPF15. I will come back to the Chanel skincare when I will get the benefits from anti-ageing ingredients.




Radox Cocoa Butter Shower Cream
A nice body wash that seemed to last forever! A nice scent that lathered nicely, I also liked that the scent lingered softly after using it. I probably won't repurchase mainly as I am trying to more towards more natural products.

Artiste Brush Cleaner
This is the second bottle I have used up this year. I find I am going through it quicker as I am wearing makeup almost everyday and therefore cleaning my brushes more often. I have already repurchased and will continue to do so.

Rexona Clinical Protection Anti-Perspirant Deodorant
This is the only deodorant that I use. It is amazing! If you have problems with sweat or odor I suggest you try it. I have already repurchased and will continue to do so.


So there is my empties for July. I am pretty happy with my effort. I just need to stop buying makeup so I can start using some of it up. :)


What products did you use up in July?

  1. I was oohing over your Chanel skin care empties! I used to treat myself with Shiseido but had to become a bit more frugal last year. Things are looking up again so I'd love to buy some more luxe skin care in future :)

    1. Luxe skincare is such a treat to use. I must say since changing from the Chanel, I am missing it. Seems I liked it more than I realised. I think I will be buying it again sooner than I thought...

  3. I'm using the brush cleaner, it removes the makeup from y brushes really well, especially eyeshadow! Though I feel that my brushes aren't as soft as they used to be since I've started using them? Maybe the alcohol in it is stripping them.

    1. It is a great brush cleaner. I find it cleans my foundation brushes really well. I haven't noticed it drying out my brushes. Maybe because I use it mainly on my Real Techniques brushes and they are synthetic. :)
