Shower Products
Dove Go Fresh Shower
Gel* - The scent of this was lovely and once I’ve finished a few
more body washes I will be exploring the Dove line a bit further.
L’Occitane Almond Shower
Oil* - I can’t speak highly enough of this stuff, truly luxurious
and worthy of all the hype it has in the beauty community.
Garnier Fructis
Anti-Dandruff Shampoo (Sensitive + Classic) - My standard shampoo, as it is the only one my scalp will
tolerate. I’m hoping to find another anti-dandruff shampoo in 2015 but the
process of trying them out scares my poor scalp…
The Body Shop Japanese
Cherry Blossom Shower Gel - Though I adore the TBS shower gel formulation, this scent
did nothing for me.
L’Oreal Elvive Fibralogy Thickening Conditioner - I didn’t mind this, though it was the pretty packaging
rather than the promise of thickened hair that persuaded me to make the
purchase. It became hard to get out of the tube at the end though so I’m not
sure if I will repurchase at this stage.
Garnier Body Beauty
Oil Scrub* - Heavenly, and the only reason I haven’t given this the full
review it deserves is because Mister Bovary burned through it thinking it was a
simple body wash! I need to pick up another tube to enjoy, review and
ultimately hide from the husband…
Body Products
Rexona Deodorant x3 - Rexona is the Bovary household jam, we love the stuff
(particularly the Tropical Energy scent, lovely!)
Old Spice ‘Fiji’
Deodorant - Mister and I bought new deodorants in CVS as we didn’t want
to fly the first long haul flight with aerosols, and we each chose a stick
deodorant - do American’s not have aerosol deo’s? We couldn’t find any! This was
his choice and the scent was off the chain - I’m going to buy the body spray
for our daily use next time I’m out shopping.
Endota Spa Lavender
& Alpine Pepper Hand Cream* - My very favourite hand cream, the scent is lovely and the
formula top notch.
Burberry Weekend
Perfume Sample - Don’t remember too much about this scent, I want to burn
through some of my samples though.
Face Products
Dermalogica Oil-Free
Matte SPF30 Sunscreen* - I’ve often raved about how much I love this, the protection
is nice and high and the citrus scent is so appealing to me. I love using this
under make-up as it is a great daytime primer!
Bioderma Crealine h20
(travel size) - I’ve moved onto the much cheaper Garnier for my cleansing water
but have a few of these floating around from the Priceline 40% skincare sale.
Covergirl Outlast
Foundation - This is one of the best foundations I’ve tried thus far and
I will definitely repurchase.
TheBalm Time Balm
White Tea Rose Face Cleanser* - I have a full review of this coming!
La Mav Hyaluronic
Daily Moisture Crème* - This was a bit too light for my skin which has become a bit
drier lately, so Mister ended up finishing this and liked it quite a lot.
Jurlique Intense
Recovery Mask* - This was tingly and refreshing and the sample tube lasted an
age.
Neutrogena Oil-Free
Eye Make-Up Remover* - Really wasn’t a fan of this, this opinion was cemented when I
moved onto the next bottle in my stash (a Maybelline one) and it knocked the
socks off of this one.
La Roche-Posay
Effaclar Duo - My beloved HG serum, saves my skin daily.
Dermalogica Daily
Microfoliant* - Once upon a time I preferred the Alpha H exfoliant to this,
but then my opinion flipped and this came out on top. A really great staple
from the skincare giants!
Apivita Express Beauty
Mask with Pink Clay* - This was a nice clay-based mask, I used it in conjunction
with a few others and think the sachets are cute if a little awkward to use
effectively.
I’m quite proud of finishing up skincare during 2014, I once
chopped and changed so often that product went to waste but now I think I’ve
turned that all around. Sad to think that my pricy and beloved Lancome
Dreamtone will be in the next empties post though…
