April Empties: Body, Fragrance & Hair Care

If you spotted yesterday's post you'll know I got through a lot of products in April. This is the second instalment!

Boots Extracts Mango body butter

I found the texture of this body butter to be really odd. I felt like it didn't really sink into the skin very well and considering how thick it was, I didn't find it more moisturising than lighter lotions. The scent wasn't great either.

Boots Extracts Shea Butter body butter

I preferred this scent to the Mango but it still had the odd texture. I won't be repurchasing either of these products.

Burt's Bees Coconut foot cream

This product is so greasy and thick but it does work well as an intensive foot cream. I don't think I'll be rushing out to replace this.

Clarins Extra Firming body cream
This was a Glossybox sample and I loved it! If the full size wasn't so expensive, I'd have picked one up by now.

Garnier Body Tonic lotion
I've been meaning to review this for a while - this is a great light moisturising lotion which also firms the skin. I think it really works and I'm already on my second bottle!

Garnier Body Tonic sugar scrub
This is my new favourite exfoliator and I already have two waiting in the wings!

Molton Brown Vitalising bath and shower gel
Another Glossybox sample that I enjoyed using up but probably won't rush out to buy. It did leave my bathroom smelling delicious, though.

Sanctuary Moisture Rich foot butter
I don't know why they call this a butter as the texture is very light and creamy. It's just a standard foot cream which smells a bit like lavender. I won't be repurchasing.

The Body Shop Earth Lovers Apricot and Basil shower gel
I got this free when I bought their loyalty card and I'd forgotten about it until recently. I really liked this shower gel because it was gentle enough for my skin but still nicely fragranced. The only issue I had with it is that it's very runny.

The Body Shop Satsuma body butter
This is one of my favourite scents from The Body Shop and one I will continue to repurchase. My one gripe with this is that it's not one of the thicker body butters (it's for normal skin) so I get through it much more quickly.

BeneFit Ring My Bella 
I went to BeneFit to sniff So Hooked on Carmella but found it was too sweet for me so the assistant recommended this and I impulsively bought it. I like the scent when it's first sprayed but it doesn't linger long enough on my skin for my liking.

Hugo Boss Femme

I picked this up on a whim when I had a money off voucher and it's just okay. It's very light and floral.

Aveda Smooth Infusion shampoo and conditioner
It's hard to say how much I liked these because each tube only contained enough for one use. I got these in a She Said Beauty box.

Macadamia Natural Oil Rejuvenating shampoo
This is my third bottle of this shampoo so it's safe to say I enjoy using this!


...and that's it! Phew.
