I cannot believe it is 19th April … really?  It seems a little odd to be writing a post now on my empty products from March but the last three weeks have flown by!

This particular post was going to be a bit of a lengthy one given I seem to have finished quite a few products at the same time so I am splitting this down into two posts…Skincare and Everything but skincare!

So…here goes:

Clinique Take The Day Off Balm

One product that has been on previous blog posts is this makeup removing balm from Clinique.  Simply, this removes makeup / SPF in the first part of my evening cleanse.  It removes all traces of eye makeup with zero irritation unlike so many other makeup removers!

Would I repurchase?

Yes, I am on my third or fourth!

Emma Hardie Amazing Face Moringa Cleansing Balm

I have mentioned this cleansing balm on numerous occasions so won’t go into too much detail but I use this as my second cleanse (skin cleanse) in the evening.  It smells absolutely divine, smoothes on as a balm and melts to an oil which then cleanses the skin effortlessly.  I then remove it with a flannel and my face is left feeling super soft and clean.  It’s amazingly gentle for use around the eyes too.  **TIP – keep it in the fridge during the summer…two reasons, one is that it stops it from melting and second is that on a hot summers day, a cold cleansing balm is wonderful!!

Would I repurchase?

Yes!  This is probably my 3rd pot!

NIOD Mastic Must

Mastic Must is one of those products that I was really unsure of to begin with…until I used it!  I was always complaining about my pore size, like many people do.  This was available in a set as part of the Black Friday Bargain so I thought I would give it a try.  It has a natural smell to it but not off-putting.  After cleansing my skin, I then applied the mask and relaxed for ten minutes then removed it with a flannel.  My face feels so smooth after using this and looks smooth too!  There is an optional additional step to use a hairdryer on the face for 15 seconds…which of course I also had to do!  Mastic Must works to clean and refine pores giving the appearance of a reduction in the number of pores and the size of them also.  Using the hairdryer enhances the immediate visible results of using the mask!

Would I repurchase?

Yes, I haven’t yet but this did make a difference to my skin immediately so it’s on my shopping list.

Clinique Fresh Pressed 

I have reviewed this previously and more information can be found here…Clinique Sets – Fresh Pressed Vitamin C   The packets of cleanser last for a week, however I always find the serum lasts much longer than the week.  You can tell that the vitamin C starts to degrade after so long, hence the reason this is designed as a one-week treatment.  The colour of the serum does change slightly but again this doesn’t happen until the serum has been open for around 2 weeks.  I mix this with moisturiser morning and night as a continuous course until it runs out.  Now that this one has run out, I will give my skin a break from it and will then use it again when I feel I need to.  It does work to brighten the skin and the cleanser does the same.  It is a great morning cleanse and I feel it really wakes my skin up!

Would I repurchase?

I already have another waiting in my draw!

Zelens Power D Treatement Drops

This was a purchase via the Cult Beauty x Caroline Hirons box and was one of the 6 products included that I was desperate to try!  I had read a lot about it on Caroline’s blog and decided it was a must!  It is a high potency serum containing provitamin D which seeks to ‘Replenish lipids and fortifies skin barrier function, help build skin’s resilience and protect against environmental aggressors’ (Taken from Zelens.com).  I used this mostly at night due to the consistency as it is almost like an oil.  I did use it on some mornings but not if I was in a rush as this does take time to sink in (which is in no way a bad thing!).  My skin felt nourished using this and I do wish it was within my budget to continue using in my routine every single day!

Would I repurchase?

If money were no question then I would be using this every day as I love it.  At £110 for 30ml this is out of my price range, however it does last a long time!

Clinique Moisture Surge

Clinique Moisture Surge has been spoken about a stack of times on my blog through one post or another so really doesn’t need an introduction!  It was featured in my Morning Skincare Routine post most recently.  I use this every day and I love it.  I’d say it is the perfect moisturiser no matter what your skin type is.  I am oily/combination and it is so comfortable on my skin.  There is also an intense version for people with a drier skin type.

Would I repurchase?

I have just opened another 30m pot and I have to admit…when I went to Iceland in January I bought a 75ml pot in Duty Free, then boarded the plane and saw they had an additional 20% off so had to buy another…which turned out to be the new 72-hour hydration version, so I think that answers whether or not I would repurchase this!

So those are my Skincare empties for March…there are more empties to come from March so watch this space!
