SPOTLIGHT: April Empties!...

Well I'm not sad to say goodbye to April - had some major health issues for half of it, and as you can see, when I'm not 100% ticketyboo, I barely use up anything lol! All good now though, and there's always a silver lining hey - yes, my search for the perfect home hair colour came to a successful conclusion with the box pictured below, which means I'm SUPER happy, and besides, I'll get my empties revenge this month... 

Neutrogena Deep Clean Revitalising Pink Grapefruit Daily Scrub (100g, RRP $13.99)

If any brand wants me to buy their product, all they have to do is make it smell like pink grapefruit! I need at least a weekly dose of this scrub for the fragrance alone - it's gentler than the Oil-Free Acne one so I'll stick with this variety...

Repurchase?
Oui - already have a replacement in the shower stall ♥...

Natura Siberica Oblephikha Shower Gel (400ml, RRP $12.99)

Hmmm. I love the whole concept of this range, and although it passed the sniff test in Chemist Warehouse, I really don't go for the smell of it in the shower. It's very cleansing and non-drying, but the fragrance is all a bit too weird. I've fallen in love with the hand wash though - at the time of purchase I noticed there was another shower gel flavour, but it didn't appeal, so I'll say no...

Repurchase?
Negative...

Urban Rituelle Turkish Rose & Vanilla Bath & Shower Gel (500ml, RRP $28.50)

I won this in a giveaway from the exceptionally beautiful Kate from Seducedbybeauty almost two years ago. It's lasted all this time because I only use it once Summer's heat has faded - the fragrance is a stunner but amazingly potent, and being super concentrated, it's taken this long for me to get to the bottom of the bottle. I absolutely ADORE Urban Rituelle's shower gels - they're the most moisturising of all, and chock full of nature's goodies. Reviewed here ♥...

Repurchase?
Not this particular one, but only because there's about 10 other scents in their range that I desperately want to try ♥...

Clairol Nice'nEasy - Natural Light Auburn (RRP $12.99)

Jackpot! This is officially my new hair colourant. Love it because it doesn't build up - I get the same result each time, and believe me, that's a huge bonus. I'm thrilled because I don't have to use two different shades (one for roots, one for lengths) - instead, this one goes onto the roots for 30 minutes, the lengths for another 10 to freshen them up, and then I paint on the L'Oreal Preference Brush On Glam Highlights No. 3 every six weeks for the highlights. Nice and easy!

Repurchase?
Just picked up 2 for $20 at Coles ♥...

L'Oreal Revita Lift Laser X3 Anti-Ageing Power Serum (30ml, RRP $49.95)

I couldn't resist this when it was on special at Coles (yes I buy the majority of my beauty products from the supermarket!) - two for $50, which is basically half price. Love the deep red pump bottle, AND the contents. Smells dee-vine, and makes my skin feel amazingly soft, and injects a ton of moisture into it. Can't say it did much for my pores or wrinkles, but then again I don't expect much from one round - it absorbs very quickly, and works well under makeup. Until I find something that performs better, I'll stick with this ♥...

Repurchase?
I still have the unopened second bottle, and the minute it goes on special again, I'll stock up...

Garnier 2in1 Express Eye-Makeup Remover (125ml, RRP $7.99)

I've had this for over 12 months - bought it to try mainly because it's purple lol. It's pretty good, but takes way too long to cut through my three layers of waterproof mascara, so I've been using it up on weekends when I rarely wear much eye makeup. It's one of those ones that you shake to mix the two layers. Doesn't sting, and I'd actually recommend it to anyone who wears non-waterproof eye products ♥...

Repurchase?
No - the Neutrogena one is my HG, and all I need...

Natralus Natural Paw Paw Lip Butter - Honey & Vanilla (10g, RRP $5.75)

As mentioned previously, I've recently had a really nasty (and I mean NASTY) virus that had my nose running like the tap washer had disintegrated - unstoppable! 10 boxes of tissues later, I'm fine, and my lips and nose were lovingly protected and nourished throughout with this lip butter. Went through the whole tube in 2 weeks because I applied it every time I blew my schnozz - kept my lips and skin magnificently hydrated and supple, and I didn't experience one bit of peeling. I used this particular flavour because it has the least fragrance of the set, and as I couldn't smell or taste ANYTHING, I figured I'd keep the strawberry and coconut ones for when I could appreciate how yummy they are. Reviewed here ♥...

Repurchase?
Probably not this variety, but I'm NEVER going to be without one of the others ♥...

Take care of you,
