John Frieda | Sea Waves Sea Salt Spray | 25ml [£1.99, Boots]
I love this. So much. However.... I can also recognise that I don't need it. I've been reading about mixing salt, lemon juice and water.
[same as last month 'Oh how I want to love this. Honestly, everyone raves about the Aussie stuff but I could not abide by the smell and it just wasn't particularly nourishing. My hair gets more from river water than this stuff. ']
In a sad way, I don't really remember using this. It made little to no impact and honestly I couldn't say I'd recognise it on anyone. Don't.
Apologetically scathing. No actually I'm not sorry. It's just not that great.
Simple | Kind to skin cleansing face wipes | 25 [£3.29, Boots]
No. They're just face wipes and not even particularly special ones. If you're going to buy something to remove your makeup, at least make sure it's actually doing the job.
I'm so torn by these acidic pads. I feel like they're making a difference, but then when I don't use them there's nothing too drastic.
Tisserand | Jojoba Oil | 100ml [£8.50, Amazon]
Jojoba oil (I believe it would be the same no matter the brand...) works so well with my skin.
Body Shop | All In One BB Cream | 25ml [£12.00, The Body Shop]
I don't mean to sound so dismissive of all of these products, but honestly there's a huge level of underwhelm going on.
Indeed Labs | Hydraluron | 30ml [£24.99, Boots]
This is more of a winner for me. It did clear up a lot of dryness on my forehead and is so quick to absorb.
No7 | Protect & Perfect Night Cream | 50ml [£25.00, Boots]
I really don't like No7 products. I'm not sure if it's the amount of fragrance, or the thickness but I just did not get on with this.
Rimmel | Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation | 30ml [£6.49, Boots]
No. No no no. This is horrible. It's too drying and makes my skin look awful.
La Roche Posay | Hydraphase Intense UV Riche | 50ml [£17.00, Boots]
I love love love La Roche Posay.
This was a repurchase, so does have my endorsement. It's really nice to use something that's lightweight and makes a difference to the appearance of your skin. Unfortunately, it's just not packaged responsibly.
So I did enjoy this product, but have honestly had more luck with a fairly cheap bottle of sweet almond oil (or even try jojoba oil!).
This is something I would repurchase if it wasn't packaged in plastic and shipped halfway across the world.
Honestly. It's the best balm I've found and the tube looks like a glue stick.

so to clarify, these aren't products I've bought this year, just those that I've used up. I am quite honestly in shock I have that value of products just lying around however. I'm also saddened by how disappointed I am in most of these items.
when did you last go through whatever was in your cupboard?
I think next month will be quite a small one in terms of empties (I hope!) as I've started a lot of new things.
