Hello!
Lately I've been watching many 'Empties' videos on Youtube which I enjoy because it gives us an honest opinion on how products work instead of just showing us the pretty packaging when you first buy them.
It inspired me to try out some new beauty products as I don't tend to be very adventurous and always stick to simple things or things I get for Christmas/birthdays which take forever to finish!
SO...
Johnson's baby oil - £1.99 - Homebargains
I often see people talking about baby oil which is supposedly a very good moisturizer! I assumed it would be very oily, slimy and not very strong as it needs to be suitable for a baby's sensitive skin. However, it's recommended after showering whilst your skin is still damp. So I thought why not!
Good points-
- The bottle is cute and simple, with a nice pink colour (very girly!) and a child lock lid so no spillages!
- A little bit goes a long way, so I can see this lasting a while.
- It smells amazing, sweet and soft but not too overpowering.
- It feels nice and warm when you rub it on and it's relaxing and definitely good for massages!
- In the morning my skin was soft and silky :-)
Bad points-
- It took ages to sink in! I couldn't sit down properly!
- I could see it being very messy and getting everywhere!
Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula - £2.95 - Sainsbury's
I hadn't ever heard of this or anyone mention it, but I was drawn to the bottle looked as it like something you would get in a chemist (in my eyes, that means it's good!) and cocoa butter is rumored to be very good. Enriched with vitamin E, it is supposed to be good for smoothing/blending mark, scars & stretch marks. (Just what I need, I would rather try something cheaper for my stretch marks than fork out on bio-oil!) Oh, & a good tanning butter!
Good points-
- SMELLS AMAZING! Just like melted chocolate!
- Sinks into your skin reasonably fast, considering it's a thick butter
- A little bit goes a very long way! This will last me a long time!
- Very relaxing and massaging
- In the morning, my skin felt beautiful which is what I look for!
Bad points-
- I haven't notice a change in my stretch marks BUT I have only used it twice!
- Honestly, I have no faults in this product. I will use it again!
Pearl Drops Whitening Toothpaste - 99p - Homebargains
I love white teeth, and I've never been happy with the colour of mine. Whitening toothpastes recommended by the dentists never work for me! I have tried bicarbonate of soda mixed with lemon juice brushed on my teeth which did work slightly but hurt my gums. However, many people say this is supposed to be good and at this price, what harm could it do?
Good points-
- Smells so nice! Fresh and minty!
- Tastes just as good, not too strong at all! Not too minty and not too sweet.
- I noticed a difference just in one use! I couldn't believe the difference just from 2 minutes brushing!
- So cheap!!!
- Pretty bottle ;-)
I would recommend this for ANYONE who wants a cheap, effective teeth whitener!
Bad points-
- None so far!
Clean & Clear exfoliating daily wash - £2.85 - Sainsbury's
It took me ages to choose this because clean and clear do so many pretty face washes which I want to try! But I went for the cheapest to try because I haven't used this brand before. I wanted to try an exfoliating wash because I feel it cleans deeper due to the micro-beads!
Good points-
- Cheap
- Smells nice, but not perfumed
- Gentle but feels like it cleans deep into pores
- Easy and quick to use in the morning and before bed
Bad points-
- Leaves my skin feels very dry straight after I dry my face
- After I dry my face and start to moisturise, I can still feel some micro-beads on my face
