I'm going to be travelling from the second week of July, so my mid-year makeup haul will be from Selfridges, Boots, Harvey Nicks, and so on. As I have been on a shopping ban for a while, I'm making a rather large list of makeup to get. Recommendations welcome.
But all that is a good month away. Here's what I used up this month - featuring my favourite Vitamin C.
Scroll down for thoughts on the beauty products I used up in June 2017.
CosRx Ultimate Nourishing Rice Mask
I finished up the Honey version of this last month - I think the Rice version is nicer for dry skin, while the Honey version is thinner.Repurchase? Will do.
The Face Shop Sebum Control Soothing Mask
Did everything except control sebum!Repurchase? Gosh, no!
Shara Shara Tempting Avocado Cocoa Massage Cream
Yum. Smells of chocolate. I wasn't sure how a massage cream was to be used, so I used this as a body cream!Repurchase? I doubt it.
Charlotte Tilbury Magic Night Cream
My Mum loves this stuff. Sadly, it broke me out, so it went on my elbows.Repurchase? Nope.
Caudalie Vinosource SOS Thirst Quenching Serum
I haven't met even one Caudalie product I've disliked. No exception this time.Repurchase? From the VineActiv range.
Simple Cleansing Wipes
My favourite facial wipes. These are super-gentle, even when you want to remove waterproof makeup.Repurchase? Yes! Can't wait to get to Superdrug.
Nip + Fab Glycolic Night Pads (Extreme)
Reeked of... perfume on a dress after four days. I can't pinpoint the fragrance, but I hated the smell.Repurchase? I bought two. Finished this one. The other can go hang.
Dr MJ Moisture Bounce Collagen Capsule Cream
I find Korean moisturising creams not only far more hydrating, but they also stay on better on my oily face. Plus, they can actually be layered if I want.Repurchase? I'm hauling K-beauty after I come back. We'll see.
REN Citrus Limonum Prebiotic Hand Cream
LOVE. I haven't met a REN product I dislike either.Repurchase? Once I put a dent in my stash.
The Hero Project Vit C-30
Reviewed here. A stable 30% Vitamin C that wages war on my PIH without turning yellow, orange, or brown within the bottle or staining my fingers. Has a pH of 3.5-4!Buy it here.
Repurchase? I ordered three with a 20% discount code, on June 2. I presumed they would arrive by June 15, tops - they haven't arrived yet and I'm actually not using Vitamin C right now! Egad! I'm desperate!
Steblanc Gold Perfection Ampoule
Ideal for layering. Contains EGF, which is great for use right after scar revision procedures.Repurchase? I have half a dozen left.
Steblanc Black Snail Repair Foot Cream
Want an overnight heel healer? This is the one. Makes you sandal-worthy.Repurchase? For dry weather - definitely!
Jo Hansford Intensive Masque
I haven't coloured my hair, so I don't know about the anti-fading. I do know that this was a rich hydrating treatment for my dry locks.
Repurchase? Maybe.
Illi Hanbang Sheet Mask
Nice and moisturising with plenty of "essence". Did what it claimed.
Repurchase? No, too many sheet masks.
Finished up something in June? Tell me in the Disqus comments widget! Also, my redesign is more or less fixed, with some loose ends to tie up - feedback on the new layout welcome!
