Somehow, I managed to finish loads this month. If you love a good empties post, grab a cuppa and settle in.
❤️ – Already Repurchased
😍 – Would Repurchase
😢 – Not For Me
Skincare
😍 Elemis Pro Collagen Green Fig Cleansing Balm*
Every bit as good as the original, but with a fresher, slightly greener fig scent. Still melts off makeup, still feels like a spa treatment. Honestly, I think I prefer it to the classic.
😍 Geek and Gorgeous Jelly Joker Cleanser*
A gentle jelly cleanser that cleans properly without leaving skin tight or irritated. Perfect for mornings, and at this price, a total no-brainer.
😍 Dr Sam Bunting Flawless Revival Mask*
When my skin’s feeling dry, tight, or just generally pissed off, this fixes it in ten minutes flat. Leaves skin soft and happy without any greasy residue.
❤️ Kate Somerville DeliKate Recovery Cleanser*
One of my top cream cleansers, especially in winter. Rich, soothing, and genuinely comforting on dry or irritated skin.
😍 Elemis Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Pads*
If your skin looks dull, these are a great quick fix. I used them a couple of times a week and saw a noticeable glow without any irritation.
❤️ Kate Somerville SuperCell Rejuvenating Serum*
This has been a staple in my routine for months. A vegan stem-cell treatment that keeps my skin looking healthy, fresh, and more even-toned.
😍 Beauty Pie Flash Face Lift Serum
If I rejoined Beauty Pie, this would be the first thing in my basket. A solid mix of peptides and hyaluronic acid that makes skin feel smoother and more hydrated.
😢 IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Redness Serum
I wanted to love this, but it didn’t do much for my redness. That said, it felt nice and might work well under makeup.
😍 Murad Multi-Vitamin Clear Coat SPF50
High sun protection with a blurring effect. Loved it, though the silicone texture won’t be for everyone.
😍 Dermalogica Multivitamin Power Recovery Cream*
Currently testing a full size, but I already love how nourishing it feels. Full review coming soon.
❤️ Victoria Beckham Beauty Cell Rejuvenating Priming Moisturiser
My biggest bargain of 2024 (£15 instead of £140 in Home Bargains!). It gave my skin a lovely glow, but not enough hydration for winter. Repurchased to use in summer.
😍 Sisley Paris Black Rose Cream Mask
Expensive, but it works. I used it overnight and woke up with skin that looked smoother, plumper, and far more rested.
😍 Geek and Gorgeous Power Peptides
I have a review coming for this soon, so stay tuned.
Body care
❤️ Kate Somerville ExfoliKate Resurfacing Body Scrub
If you want baby-soft, polished skin, this does the job brilliantly. It smooths, hydrates, and leaves skin feeling genuinely fresh rather than just scrubbed raw. Fake tan lovers – this is the ideal prep step for an even, streak-free application. Expensive, but a little goes a long way.
😍 Dr Sam Bunting Flawless Body Therapy*
A properly effective body treatment that, when used consistently, genuinely brightens and softens the skin. It’s especially good on stubborn dry patches like elbows and knees. I loved it in winter when my skin needed the extra moisture, but for my taste, it’s a bit rich for summer. One to keep in rotation when the temperatures drop.
