Project Empties #6

Wednesday 31 August 2011

Over these past two months, I have managed to finish quite a few things. I know I've said this before, but I am making an active effort to minimise my spending with regards to make-up, skin care and hair care. Hopefully I can keep it up and save up for something lovely!


Lee Stafford Hair Growth Treatment
I washed it out by accident before taking a picture of it, oops!
Review: When I started using this, I used it with every wash instead of conditioner (even though it states to use it between shampoo and conditioner) and then after about 3 weeks, I used it every other wash. The packaging says to use an egg sized amount, which is a ridiculous amount to use! I used a grape size and found that sufficient. This made made my hair feel so soft, even after the first use. Even though I applied it all over my hair, it didn't make my hair feel greasy or weighed down. I can't comment on whether or not it helped my hair grow longer, as I trim my hair quite regularly, but I did think it made it feel stronger and less prone to breakage. As with all Lee Stafford products, this is highly scented with the signature smell. I really like the scent and loved that I could smell it on my hair even once it was dry, but some people might not like it as it's one of those love it or hate it scents.
Would I repurchase? Yes

Boots Expert Build Up Removal Shampoo
Review: Every so often my hair goes through a stage where it gets greasy after 1 day and looks weighed down and limp. Upon using this shampoo, it clears any build up and my hair feels squeaky clean. I tried using this once every week to regularly get rid of build up, but found it a little too clarifying. I eventually settled on once every 2-3 weeks and found it worked a treat. It's a great shampoo for a great price! Plus I love that it's easily accessible and isn't a special salon brand.
Would I repurchase? Yes

Boots Baby Shampoo
Review: I mainly used this to deep clean my make-up brushes. It did a good job of cleaning them and left them feeling soft. I found that it didn't lather up very much and took quite a lot of product to make it lather well. I didn't really like the scent of this shampoo, so it was a little annoying that my brushes smelt like it after they had tried, but it was bearable.
Would I repurchase? No


Clean and Clear Dual Action Moisturiser
Review: This is a great moisturiser! I have combination skin and found it was light enough for my oily areas and moisturising enough for the dryer and normal areas. I also found it left my skin nice and soft. It claims to help prevent spots and blemishes and although I wouldn't put it solely down to this product, I did find I broke out less when using this. This is a great moisturiser for a fantastic price.
Would I repurchase? Yes

Superdrug Vitamin E Skin Oil
Review: Here
Would I repurchase? Yes!

Clinique All About Eyes Eye Cream
Review: This is a lovely, light eye cream which has done wonders for my eye area. I used to get dry patches around my eye, but this has sorted them right out! I found that helped my dark circles a little, as they started becoming less obvious. I don't tend to get puffy eyes and I have very few fine lines around my eyes, so I can't comment on how well this works for them.
Would I repurchase? Yes. I got this free with Glamour magazine and bought a few copies as it was so cheap!

  1. Wow, that's a lot of items to have finished! I love the Lee Stafford growth treatment - I only use it when I'm home visiting my parents so mine is going to last forever! I've used up quite a lot of products lately as I've moved flat and didn't want to have to pack up a load of half-empty products. x

  2. @Lily - Yeah, I know. I made a mega effort to finish a tonne of products before leaving uni and lots of things have all been on the verge of finish. I love it too! Ooh, that will definitely last ages then! xx
