August empties

☑ Secret Clinical Strength Antiperspirant/deodorant Light and fresh scent

I have a friend who swears by this product. I don't really need an heavy protection when it comes to antiperspirants/deodorants, but this one does the job quite well. I wouldn't pay $9 for it though, but I agree, it's great. The only thing is that it's supposed to be solid, but after a few uses, it becomes more liquid x=

Repurchase? no

What I'm currently using to replace it: Dove Ultimate Go Fresh Burst Nectarine & white ginger scent

☑ Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew Anti-Sun-Damage SPF 28 Daily Moisture Lotion

Well I had enough of this for only one use, so I can't tell you a lot LOL.

Repurchase? I don't know?


What I'm currently using to replace it: Cellnique Vital Cellular Repair Emulsion

 ☑ Lacoste Love of Pink

I'm not a fan. It smells very chemical once applied and it fades to a cheap fruity scent.

Repurchase? no

What I'm currently using to replace it: Escada Pacific Paradise

 ☑ Burt's Bees Peppermint Foot Lotion

This is great! It's definitely refreshing and it makes my feet smell so great! Not to mention that's it's 100% natural.

Repurchase? no because there's plenty of foot lotions available at a cheaper price

What I'm currently using to replace it: Alpen Secrets Tea Tree & Mint Foot & Leg Cooling Gel

 ☑ Cellnique Intense II Hyaluronic Acid

This was part of the Amino-Collagen C Intense Set I was sent from Cellnique along with other products (read my review on them here). It is said to be able to attract 1000 times its weigth in water and to help repair damaged cells and instantly deliver a silky smooth texture after application. While it hasn't completely cured my extra dry skin, it has significantly help it.

Repurchase? no because it's way too expensive for my budget

What I'm currently using to replace it: Alpen Secrets Tea Tree & Mint Foot & Leg Cooling Gel

  ☑ SPAresource Amber Sunset Body Lotion with aloe vera

I love this lotion. It smells amazing (I've been told I smell like caramel LOL), the texture is great (not too runny but not thick as a butter) and it's inexpensive. Great value!

Repurchase? yes

What I'm currently using to replace it: Cranberry & Pear Body Soufflé

 ☑ Burt's Bees Naturally Nourishing Milk & Honey Body Lotion

I'm not a fan of this lotion. The smell is okay and last until the next shower, but the texture is way too light for my tatse, not to mention that $14.99 is a little expensive for a body lotion in my opinion. I like the fact that it's 98.3% natural, though.

Repurchase? no

What I'm currently using to replace it: Cranberry & Pear Body Soufflé

 La Clé du Plaisir Boutique Érotique Effervescent Pear Bath Bomb

My boyfriend and I got this for free when we purchased some things from a La Clé du Plaisir representative when we attended my friend Ariane's "sex party". I used it in two times as it "disappears" pretty fast in the bath. I'm not a fan of those cheap bath bombs that have nothing special.

Repurchase? no

What I'm currently using to replace it: -


Klorane Soothing eye make-up remover with cornflower extract

This is the first makeup remover I ever used. It was a gift from my mother and I wouldn't repurchase it as it's quite expensive, but it's really soft on the eyes and it does a great job at removing heavy eye makeup and stubborn mascara.

Repurchase? no

What I'm currently using to replace it: Equate Baby Oil


Gillette for Women Satin Care Shave Gel

It leaves my skin veeeeeeeeeery smooth, and you only need a tiny amount of product as the foam is so thick.

Repurchase? no, as I prefer to use conditioner or baby oil


What I'm currently using to replace it: eos Ultra Moisturizing Shave Cream


St. Ives 24 Hour Moisture Advanced Body Moisturizer

I didn't noticed it was a body moisturizer until recently, but I have always used it as a hand lotion. It works (but I'm not sure it lasts up to 24 hours), but it's a little too watery for my taste.

Repurchase? no

What I'm currently using to replace it: Earth Therapeutics Gardener's Hand Repair Protective Conditioner

  4. Hi Gaby!
    I really like that Secret Clinical strength...once I'm done my current Lady Speedstick I'm switching over to that one. Maybe I need heavy duty stuff LOL But I agree, it does get a bit "mushy" in consistency at the end of tube for some reason :\
    Yes, it's hard to judge if you like a product based on a sample that only lasts one time use...I personally have not tried any Garnier skin care products (only their hair products which smell sooo yummy).
    I really love Burt's Bees products. I know, they are a bit more in price but I wait for sale. I loved their peppermint foot lotion - but I especially LOVED their coconut foot lotion since not many brands can compare in scent. I'm really interested in trying out their face serum which I heard amazing things about and is more affordable than the apparent miracle Estee Lauder serum.
    Like yourself I haven't jumped on ordering any Cellnique products. They do work, but I think I can find an alternative that is either more affordable or at the same price but I don't have to wait for shipping...
    Evgueni loves Satin Skin care shaving foam (hehe)...well, actually he likes Edge but I make him get the Satin skin care instead since it sits in my bathroom :)
    I hope you have a great start to the long weekend!

  9. Hey, the George nail varnishes are from the clothing brand from Asda, which I believe is owned by Walmart just in the UK :)
