What's in my Shower // The Pink Edition


I did not intend for this edition of ‘What’s in my Shower’ to take on a primarily pink theme, but when I snapped the images I saw that they all shared the same hue so I decided to embrace it! Since taking these photographs I’ve actually finished up a few of the products, but I still wanted to show you the great shower products I’ve been using, so here we go!

I can’t go without a few shower gel options, so L’Occitane Ravissant shower gel* sits alongside Bodycology Sweet Pea and they are both deliciously floral and sweet, with the L’Occitane having more of a floral + citrus twist. I also had a few sample sized Soap + Glory products floating around (some of which featured in past empties) and though I wasn’t a fan of the Clean Girls shower gel, I quite liked the Scrub ‘Em and Leave ‘Em tub which smelt artificial yet deliciously expensive. I would definitely recommend The Breakfast Scrub* over Scrub of Your Life for both scent and texture, but I think any Soap & Glory scrub is well worth a try to be honest and the travel sized versions available at Kit Cosmetics make it so easy to dip your toe into the brand.

I have my very favourite cleanser sitting front and centre, the Fab Pore Hot Cloth cleanser* works so nicely with my skin and we are in the midst of a love affair as I type! Speaking of love affairs, the L’Occitane Almond Shower Oil* really exceeded my expectations (which were high to begin with, great work L’Occitane!) as both a shower oil and a shaving oil. Let me tell you, when your shaving oil smells this good your legs will be smooth more often, just so that you can relish in the amazing sweet almond scent – sigh,heaven! This is on the ‘definite repurchase’ list, no doubt.
Continuing with the pink trend, I’ve been trialling the new Kerastase Cristalliste* range (thick hair version) and I’m happy to report that the conditioner leaves my thick crazy mane soft and silky, though the texture of it is thinner than expected and needs a bit of muscle to escape the tube. The shampoo surprisingly didn’t upset my scalp as much as I thought it might, my head acts out against any shampoo that isn’t Garnier (and that includes hating all other dandruff shampoos!) but it tolerated this one quite fine. Hurrah for schmancy hair care that makes me feel like a French lady wink wink.

April Empties


Rexona Girl Tropical Energy Deodorant-
A frequent feature in these posts, this is my favourite deodorant and I will keep on repurchasing.
 
Rexona Women Crystal Deodorant-
It seems like Rexona is the brand for me in the deodorant realm, and this handbag friendly size did the job and smelt nice.

 
Face of Australia Moisturising Nail Polish remover-

I enjoyed using this, it takes glitter polish off quite easily and doesn’t strip my nails as much as other brands have in the past. Have already repurchased!

Goldwell Extra Rich 60 sec Treatment*-

Reviewed here, I really enjoyed this hair treatment and am considering repurchasing once I finish up some other hair bits I have lying around.

Soap & Glory Scrub ‘Em and Leave ‘Em-

I’m finally making my way through the travel sized products I bought from Thailand over a year ago! This was heavily perfumed and less scrubby than I like, but smelt expensive and made my skin really soft and felt hydrating.

Smashbox Photo-Op Undereye Brightener*-

When I first began blogging I was invited to have a Smashbox makeover and watch the premiere of Burlesque (a movie I love, and the night I fell in love with Smashbox’s Tease gloss!) This sample was part of the goody bag, and though it was too thin to cover up any discolouration under the eyes, it was quite brightening. I am not going to purchase this as I prefer a brush style applicator (akin to YSL Touche Eclat) and found it hard to control how much came out of the tube when using this.


What did you finish up this month? I’m finding it so hard to use up makeup products, I’m working my way through Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Boy at the moment and struggling to wear it day in and day out! How often do you finish lipsticks?
