Since the beginning of the year i’ve been on a mission to use up as many products as I possibly can, as I own far too much Skincare, Body Care and Fragrances . Well a couple of days ago I came across the Bag that I keep all of my Empty Products in, and after sorting through it into what could and what couldn’t be recycled, I thought that I would tell you everything that i’ve used 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.
