2019 Empty Bottles

[absley]

Yes, not a bad problem at all.

[emma_p]

I have, and nothing quite hits the mark for me coconut-wise, I’m afraid. I’m looking for something really tropical. Never mind-nice problem to have!

Any Korres shower gels you like? Everyone in my house absolutely loves their lemon basil one (Liv so much she used a whole one this evening ) I adore their Santorini vine and jasmine too. More med than tropical but they smell very summery to me and not sweet and jammy which is an absolute pet hate!

Korres shower gels have a weird tang to me. I wish I liked them, but they give me weird flashbacks to holidays in my 20s . Thank you though.

[Luna]

I love that mist :stuck record:. I’ve been wondering what that EL stuff was like.

I’ve just finished a Body Shop coconut shower gel. DISAPPOINTING doesn’t begin to cover it. I have a bit more of another BS shower gel to go and then hopefully I can get something nice. Nicely-scented showers are very important to me .

Have you tried Rituals shower oils? I have been obsessed with this one and they aren't too pricey either. https://www.amazon.co.uk/RITUALS-Ritual ... ay&sr=8-21

It smells amazing.

[Ella77]

None of these are coconut, people . Thank you though.

[Skips]

Have you tried the M&S coconut one, Ella? I saw it at the weekend but I don't need any new at the moment.

[Luna]

Oh, didn't know coconut was required again

[Luna]

I've never tried this company but man, they have a lot of coconut stuff and it's not too expensive either! https://www.notino.co.uk/search/?EXPS=coconut

I’ve now finished a mini Eve Lon cleansing balm. I hated it at the start but got to quite like the smell in the end. My skin has been looking good too, I suppose.

[Ella77]

I've finished a few things, including my cushion foundation (repurchased) and the world's best facial sunscreen, Giorgio Armani UV Master Primer (in Beige).I won't be able to function if they discontinue that; already bought a new one with 15% off online. A bottle lasts ages.

I gave up temporarily on the coconut shower gel and bought a passion fruit one from Soaper Duper. It smells AMAZING in the bottle but you can barely smell it in use .

[Estrella]

I’ve repurchased a cushion foundation after finishing one that my mum initially gave me (Dior Capture Dreamskin Cushion).

[Ella77]

That sounds nice. Just from the name!

[Estrella]

It’s really lovely. Light coverage. I wasn’t sure what to expect as I’ve been using heavier ones in the past but the repurchase goes to show that I really like it.

[Ella77]

Mine (Les Beiges) is very sheer too, more like a skin finisher. It’s possible I look ridiculous but I like it.

Also finished: Christophe Robin rose shampoo and conditioner. I just love the scent. I waited until there was 25% off before replacing this because it’s a bit pricey otherwise.

[Ella77]

A couple more from me.

January Labs Daily Brightening Tonic. This is lovely because it's a lactic acid toner, which are quite hard to find. I almost never use it though, so no plans to replace it for now.

Origins Drink Up Intensive overnight mask. I really love this, and use it all the time (but rarely overnight). It's what I put on my face at weekends or when I'm working from home. It also goes well over retinols at night, and never gives me spots or anything. Strictly speaking it's not the best face mask ever. There's a Dermalogica one that's better, but it also costs a lot more, so I'll probably replace this one once I've used up a few samples I have (Sisley Black Rose and Chantecaille Jasmine & Lily).

Emma Hardie Moringa Cleansing Balm (massive size): love, love, love. I'm keeping an eye out for a deal on the large size before replacing this properly, but I've got a travel size one to be getting on with. (It's bigger than the mini size, but smaller than the small size- so cute.)

[Pippedydeadeye]

Ella, if you shop with FeelUnique you can set it as your favourite brand and then always get a discount on it.

[Ella77]

Ooh, thank you. Off to check.

Oh, I'd like to try this - I've been looking for lactic acid products without much luck. Thanks, Ella.

[Ella77]

I hope you like it.

Damnit, my C Firma has run out. It lasted nearly a year though. I tried going without it for a couple of days, but no dice. I’ve bought another one. Why do they all go at once?

[emma_p]

Mine has run out too - I guess we both bought it when it came out in the UK? I got loads of Kiehls Fit C samples so I've put off purchasing for the time being. It's not the same though!
