dahlia's empties #1!

hi lovelies,

I usually don't go through products really fast, unless it is something that I absolutely love or depending on what the product is, but over the past few months/weeks I have collected a bunch of empties. Some are good and I will be repurchasing, others I wish I had saved my money. Now, instead of boring you with a ridiculously long intro let's get right into business!

Boots Fragrance Free Cleansing Wipes

These are by far my favorite cleansing wipes. This is probably my fourth packet and I just love them. I love how they have no scent, color, or anything added to it. They are just plain cleansing wipes and they do their job just fine. It removes makeup perfectly, and I usually use them to take my makeup off before I wash my face with my cleanser. They do an ok job of taking mascara off but I use my Lancome eye makeup remover for that anyway. Boots also do a cucumber version of this but I prefer the fragrance free ones. Overall, I love these and you can't beat the price as it is Boots' own brand.

Repurchase? YES! 

Recommend? Yes, for people who have sensitive skin and are looking for regular cleansing wipes. 

No7 Extravagant Lashes Mascara 

I don't know what to say about this mascara. I just don't like it. It has a horrible smell and clumps my lashes like crazy. When I buy a mascara, I usually go for separation of lashes and length but this does not do either of those. The wand is really big and hard to use. All in all a big no-no for me.

Repurchase? No

Recommend? No

Estee Lauder Sumptuous Mascara in Black 

I got this mascara as a sample from the Estee Lauder counter when I bought a gift for my mother. I have used it up completely and bought the full size version as well. I really liked this mascara, it separated my lashes and didn't make them clump. It also had no fall down whatsoever which is a big plus living in a hot climate. It didn't have a strong smell and overall is a really good product, and worth if you got a little extra money to spend. 

Repurchase? Maybe

Recommend? Yes if you want to spend that department store money 

Maybelline The Falsies Mascara

After all the hype surrounding this mascara, I finally bought it. It has a curved wand which is supposed to help give some sort of effect to you lashes. At first, I had to get the hang of how to use it but once I found the right angle it worked out fine. It's not the best mascara but I don't regret buying it at all. Sometimes you have to take the risk of buying new things and since it is drugstore price it's not a big splurge. I enjoyed using it while it lasted but I found that after a while my lashes would clump and not be as separated. 

Repurchase? Not at the moment

Recommend? Yes if you like funky wand shapes! 

Lush R&B Hair Moisturizer

Okay, so I was at Lush one day buying the rehab shampoo when one of the shop assistants came up to me and persuaded me to buy a hair moisturizers because of course my hair needed it... I was a bit skeptical to buy it but she tried it on my hair and with my frizzy hair it looked awesome. So I went ahead and bought it. I enjoyed using it several times but there is one major, and I'm talking MAJOR put off to this product. The smell. It's just a terrible terrible smell. It smells so terrible that someone actually once told me that my hair smelled bad. Yeah... I also found that the product tends to go yucky a few weeks after its been opened, and my hair kind of became greasy when I used it, and I like clean, fresh hair. I think this will suit people who have more of an afro type hair than just regular wavy frizz. 

Repurchase? No

Recommend? Only if you can stand the smell 

Lush Veganese Hair Conditioner

Lush has some amazing products and some products that you regret spending your money on. I really liked this conditioner. It made my hair shiny (not in that greasy kind of way) just like it said it would and it made it really soft. It also has a delicious lemon smell which made my hair smell really fresh. I used this together with the Rehab shampoo and ended up with Minty Lemon smelling hair! mmm...

Repurchase? Yes - but not at the moment

Recommend? Yes - it is for ALL hair types!

J'adore by Dior Perfume and Body Milk

I love this. Of course it is a bit on the pricey side since it is Dior after all but it smells amazing. I will attempt to describe the scent as much as I possibly can, it smells like flowers but not too fresh and not too sweet. It is a very feminine smell and not overpowering. I really liked this perfume however I am still on the hunt for my 'signature scent' and I don't think it will be this one. It was nice having it around though and maybe I will buy it again sometime or as a gift.
