I usually do these posts in video format (you can watch the previous two here and here) but I haven't used up too many products this month and couldn't bring myself to move house with a bag of, what is essentially, recycling or rubbish. So here are the products I've used up in July:
Neom Inspiration Reed Diffuser* - This has lasted for months but I'm still not totally sold on the aesthetic of reed diffusers (although Neom's are by far the nicest I've seen). That said, I love this scent (violet, chamomile and cedarwood) so I'm definitely considering a purchase of this fragrance in candle form.
Mitcham Powder Fresh - Not glam, but I always repurchase this antiperspirant deodorant as it never fails me! The waterlily fragrance is my favourite, though.
Pureology Hydrate Shampoo* - This has been a relatively life changing discovery in terms of solving years of scalp issues. I had my hair dyed the other week with L'Oreal INOA which is great for not creating eye-irritating fumes, but the next day my scalp was blistered and painful. A quick wash with Pureology and it was pretty much back to normal. It's incredibly soothing for the scalp and actually works as haircare too.

Clarins Hydraquench Cream SPF15 - I'm sort of glad I've finally used this up! I much prefer the lotion version, which feels lighter for summer, but I still love this range from Clarins.
Caudalie Eau de Beauté - I'm now totally out of both sizes, partly due to the warm weather as it's an amazing pick me up in the afternoons. I'll definitely be ordering another bottle (and closing my eyes at the £30 price tag) as it works so well to keep my skin clear and refined when used as a toner in the morning. I don't think this product works for everyone though, which is the impression some seem to be under, and definitely not one for dry skin.
Clarins Relax Bath & Shower Concentrate - This is a favourite of both me and my boyfriend but has lasted since February as I reserve it for when he or I need it most! It has a gorgeous, calming scent with lots of soft bubbles, but I will probably hold of buying myself another bottle (this was a birthday gift) as I want to try This Works or Aromatherapy Associates relaxing bath products next.
Stella Peony - This fragrance has now been discontinued, which is a real shame as it's a lovely alternative to the original Stella EDP. It's a little lighter than the original, with slight peppery spice instead of citrus.
Redken All Soft Conditioner - This is still one of my favourite conditioners to use but I'm really enjoying the Pureology Hydrate conditioner at the moment so I might come back to it in future.

I've recently started using the Caudalie Beauty Elixir and I am still making my mind up about it! xo
ReplyDeleteI would love to try the Caudalier Beauty Elixir. I will buy it, when I´m in Paris :)
ReplyDeleteI've only tried the Beauty Elixir, and I love the fresh scent of it, but I'm not entirely sure if I'm seeing any benefit from using it. Having said that, it's early days!

I've got sensitive and dry skin but I absolutely love Beauty Elixir! I tried the small bottle just in case it doesn't work for my skin but now I regret that I should have ordered the big bottle! It's really good for summer isn't it? :)

I smelt the beauty elixir today for the first time and really hated it! I can understand now why there has been such a divide over it. I really love Clarins and Redken though so will have to have a look at those products you mentioned :) x

My boyfriend has a very dry scalp so maybe I'll get him to use the Pureology line, that is if the Lush scalp bar doesn't work for him! Thanks! xx

Hope the move went well Meg :) x
ReplyDeleteI do actually prefer these kind of things in blogsposts format instead of videos, it's just so much quicker to read through everything. I feel the same with the Caudalie Beauty Elixer, it's so expensive. I don't want to use it up! I really want to give Redken products a try :)

I find the clarins hydra quench cream-gel much lighter than the cream and easier to use in the day!
