March Empties


Hey lovelies! Hope you all enjoyed the long Easter weekend? It went far too quickly in my opinion! Here's a round up of the products I managed to finish in March.

Aussie Lusciously Light 3 Minute Miracle Reconstructor 250ml - £4.99
I love this deep conditioner for damaged hair. I'm not sure if the "Lusciously Light" range exists anymore (it's not on either the Boots or Superdrug websites), but this is still available as a standard version. I liked this as it didn't feel heavy yet made my hair feel super soft and silky. Plus it has that gorgeous, classic Aussie scent!
Re-purchase? I'd like to try the non-light version, but I'd also be interested to receive some recommendations for intensive conditioners? All I've ever tried is L'Oreal and Aussie!

Kleenex Shine Absorbing Sheets (Pack of 50) - £2.99
I actually bought these for 99p when they were on offer in Superdrug, bargain! This product has featured in my empties posts quite a few times now because it's a handbag staple of mine. I heard they were being discontinued, but I hope this isn't true because I use these daily to blot away excess oil and stop my face looking so shiny! Full review here.
Re-purchase? No need - I have a stockpile from when they were 99p!

Lush Ro's Argan Body Conditioner Sample - FREE
I quite liked this - you use it like a hair conditioner; apply it to wet skin and then rinse off before getting out of the shower. The formula was pink and thick, with a slight rose scent. It was really moisturising, but I personally prefer King of Skin Body Butter, which works in the same way.
Purchase full size? Unfortunately I don't love this enough to buy it full size.

Betty Bouche Lip Scrubs in Honey Hot Lips and Strawberry Sauce by Betty Buff - £2.99 each
There was some left in both of these, but due to some serious lip neglect on my part, they have both gone past their best before dates before I could use them up properly. I did enjoy using them though; the flavours were lovely and they made my lips plump and soft. When using them regularly with a lip balm afterwards, I hardly experienced any dryness. Full review here.
Re-purchase? According to Twitter, Betty Buff has ceased trading and the website no longer exists. It does look like they are still selling lip scrubs on Etsy. But I've decided I'm going to try my hand at beauty DIY and make my own lip scrub, so the answer is no.
 
The Body Shop Coconut Body Scrub 50ml - worth £3.13 
This mini size body scrub is only available as part of The Body Shop's coconut themed gift set, but a 200ml size is sold separately for £12.50. The creamy formula of this was really nice and the exfoliating beads were pretty concentrated, but I wasn't keen on the scent. I normally like coconut scents, but this was too much "nut" and not enough "coco"!
Purchase full size? No, due to the scent. 
 
Girlz Only Dry Shampoo Blonde 150ml - £2.00
I'm a big fan of Girlz Only Dry Shampoo despite the 90s girlband-esque name! I personally think their dry shampoo is just as good as Batiste. I normally buy one of their standard scented versions, which are 50p less (review here), but I thought I'd try their one specifically for blonde hair. To be honest though I didn't notice a lot of difference!
Re-purchase? I may give this another go as I've recently had my hair coloured a bit lighter. 

What products have you used up in March?
