Recent Empties.

Helllooo.
I've been saving up these empties for ages, and now I'm having to split them into a couple of posts as I have too many haha. Typical.


Yea.. please excuse the terrible picture, I took it in a massive hurry and it's really terrible. Ah well. If anyone has any photography tips, let me know!
(l-r)
  • Batiste Dry shampoo in  Tropical and Blush - the tropical one is pleasant enough but I wouldn't buy the Blush one again as the scent is far too sweet and overpowering for me. It works really well, though.
  • got2b Guardian Angel - I liked this. I'm not sure if it really protected my hair as I had let my hair get into terrible condition anyway. I would buy again as it's pretty cheap, but I have a hear protector that I got in a Birch Box last month so I'm not on the market for it.
  • L'Oreal Elvive Triple Resist Shampoo - I bought this in France, hence the French bottle. This was supposed to help hair that has a tendency to fall out, however I think this is wishful thinking! It's a nice enough shampoo, though.
  • Le Petit Marseillais White Clay and Jasmine conditioner - Absolutely love this! Would 100% buy again and definitely recommend if you're going to France. Read my review here.
  • Caudalie lip conditioner - Lovely lip balm, nourishing and moisturising. I wrote a review on it here.
  • Revlon lip butter in Peach Parfait - I think the entire world has a Revlon lip butter. I really like the formula and this is possibly my fave colour in the range. I do think they are a tab expensive as they aren't all that long lasting on the lips, however I would buy again as it's the perfect middle between boring lip balm and a full on lipstick.
  • (front row)
  • La Roche Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 Soothing Repairing cream - Great multipurpose cream, really sorted out my dry skin in the winter! I do wish I'd bought the larger tube. Read more here.

  • So have you tried any of these products, what did you think?

    Winter Essentials - Caudalie Hand Cream and Lip Balm review.

    Hey lovelies!
    I've been absent for longer than anticipated - just too much going on at the moment and I didn't want to write a rubbish post just for the sake of it, so apologies. However, I'm scheduling lots of posts for the next few weeks so should be able to keep on top of everything now. Bear with me!

    Even though it's March, we are still experiencing winter weather, so I wanted to share my thoughts on these two fabulous Caudalie products I've been using recently. I bought them in France for 4,90e for both! I was looking for a lip balm but as this packet was only a euro more expensive, I decided to give it a go (that's how they get you, right?).


    So this lovely packet contains the Caudalie Lip Conditioner and the Caudalie Hand and Nail Cream. So first of all the lip conditioner - it took me ages to figure out what it reminds me of but finally I remembered. I think it's very similar to Blistex Daily Lip Conditioner in texture and fragrance. However, I do feel that the tube is more convenient than the pot that the Blistex comes in! I do think that my lips are staying hydrated for longer since I have started using it. It also absorbs pretty quickly, meaning that I can apply it before lipstick and it won't affect the staying power at all. I would definitely buy this again!

    The hand and nail cream is also a nice product. It smells lemon-y and has a lovely rich texture which again, absorbs quickly. I also like the 30ml tube because it's small enough to carry around in your handbag - I sometimes think that hand creams come in tubes which are too large for everyday use. I would probably buy this again, and definitely if I chanced upon a set like this!

    What are your Winter Essentials? Have you tried any Caudalie products?
