A couple of weeks ago whilst I was doing a little bit of Spring Cleaning, I cane across the Bag that I keep all of my Empty Products in, and after sorting through everything into what could be recycled and what couldn’t, I thought that I would tell you everything that i’ve use up lately and whether or not I would repurchase it again.
Anyway, that’s enough of me rambling, here’s everything that i’ve used up lately and whether or not I would repurchase it again.

A picture of a Bag full of empty products.

- Beard Monsters Liquorice & Blackcurrant Beard Balm.
What I wouldn’t repurchase.
- Arthur J Hawke Apple Crumble Beard Balm. This was a fantastic Beard Balm with a delicious deep and fruity yet ever so slightly spicy Apple Crumble scent that left my Beard feeling incredibly silky soft, thicker, fuller and intensely hydrated, but I just prefer to use a Beard Oil.

- Arthur J Hawke Jamaican Me Crazy Beard Oil. This was a great Beard Oil with a delicious sweet and fruity yet ever so slightly musky Papaya scent that left my Beard feeling incredibly silky soft, smooth, plump, bouncy and intensely hydrated, but it just smelt a bit too much of Watermelon for me to totally love it.

What I wouldn’t repurchase.
- Lush Coconut Co-Wash.

- Lush Mango Co-Wash. This was a fantastic Shampoo Bar with a delicious fresh and fruity yet ever so slightly grassy Mango scent that left my Hair feeling incredibly squeaky clean, silky soft and intensely hydrated, but it just didn’t leave my Hair feeling moisturised enough for me to totally love it.

What I wouldn’t repurchase.
- Evolve Organic Beauty Bio-Retinol + C Skin Booster. This was a really nice Facial Serum that left my Skin feeling incredibly silky soft, smooth, plump and intensely hydrated as well as looking a little bit younger, but when I use a Retinol Serum I want it to actually contain some kind of Retinol.
- Lush Turmeric Face Mask. This was a brilliant Face Mask that left my Skin feeling incredibly silky smooth, soft, plump, bouncy and intensely hydrated, but it tended to get absolutely everywhere whenever I used it.
- The Body Shop Tea Tree Daily Solution. This was a brilliant Spot-Fighting Facial Serum that left my Skin feeling incredibly silky soft, smooth, matte, plump, bouncy and intensely hydrated as well as looking a lot clearer, but because it came in such a big Bottle I think my Skin got a bit too used to it.
- The Ordinary Cold-Pressed Virgin Marula Oil. This was a great Night Time Facial Oil that left my Skin feeling incredibly silky soft, smooth, plump, bouncy, hydrated and intensely moisturised, and was perfect to use on top of whatever Retinol I was using, but it was just a very basic Facial Oil.
