Empties #1

Today's post is all about my empty products. For those of you who may not be familiar with these types of posts, it's basically where I just show you and talk about all of the products that are beauty related that I have used up. I've been collecting my empty products for a few months now, so don't think these products are all from the past few weeks! Lately I've been trying to make a dent in my collection and use up the products I have before going out and buying more. So far, so good, just have to keep it up! So let's get into it. I did contemplate making this two posts as there are so many products, but decided to do it as one instead so that I can throw it all out in one go. Plus, who doesn't love a hearty beauty post?!
BODY CARE

Original Source Shower Gels in Lime, Lavender and Tea Tree, & Mint and Tea Tree
As you can see, I absolutely love these shower gels. They are my favourite above all the rest. They smell incredible, are made with real ingredients, and just make my skin feel lovely. I will continue to repurchase these forever!
Would I repurchase? Yes!!

Johnson's Silky Skin 24 Hour Moisture Shower & Shave Body Wash
I absolutely loved using this for shaving my legs, but sadly I think it may have been discontinued because I haven't been able to find it anywhere. If you do know somewhere that sells it be sure to let me know because it left my legs feeling so soft and not irritated at all.
Would I repurchase? If I was able to find it, yes.

Sportsgirl Scrub Up Body Exfoliator
This smells so sweet and beautiful - like vanilla. It's got a nice, thick and grainy consistency and made my skin smell so beautiful and pampered. This was my second tub of this stuff, and while I do adore it, I've been using another scrub lately instead. 
Would I repurchase? Yes.
HAIRCARE

Goldwell Extra Rich 60 Second Treatment 
This hair mask was really luxurious to use and left my hair smelling insanely good, like berries or something. However I did find that it's consistency wasn't as thick as I normally like my hair masks to be, instead it was in-between a conditioner and a mask. If you're after a treatment that isn't too heavy then this would be great for you.
Would I repurchase? Maybe.

Head Strong Gentle Care Shampoo
This is Aldi's version of Head & Shoulders, and while it isn't the same quality, it wasn't too bad. I found that it did strip my hair of moisture and left it a little dry and straw-like, but using conditioner afterwards fixed that so it wasn't really a major issue. It smelt nice but wasn't really anything amazing.
Would I repurchase? Yes.

Garnier Fructis Anti-Dandruff Shampoo Citrus-Detox for Oily Hair
I wasn't sure what to expect from this shampoo, and it was alright, but nothing special. I don't really know how much it helped on the dandruff front, but it did leave my hair feeling refreshed and detoxified, but there are better ones out there.
Would I repurchase? Probably not.

Head & Shoulders Anti-Dandruff Conditioner in Smooth & Silky
I just love this conditioner so much. I think it smells so nice and always makes my hair feel so soft and silky. This is another staple product of mine that I'll repurchase forever.
Would I repurchase? Yes.

Garnier Fructis Fortifying Conditioner for Oily Roots and Dry Ends
To be honest I don't think this really did anything special to my hair. It never made it less oily or anything like that. It just seemed like a standard conditioner. I mean, it smells really good, but it didn't wow me.
Would I repurchase? No.
SKINCARE 

Lush Tea Tree Water Toner
This is such a lovely toner to use, as it is so refreshing. This is perfect for the summer months when it's hot and yucky and you just need something to refresh your skin a little. I was really pleased with this product.
Would I repurchase? Yes.

The Body Shop Tea Tree Skin Clearing Foaming Cleanser
I did like this cleanser, but I never repurchased it after I finished the bottle for some reason. I don't remember it doing anything too radical in terms of clearing my skin, but it did cleanse really well.
Would I repurchase? Maybe.

Innoxa Skin Clear Anti-Shine Blemish Control Lotion SPF15
I actually can't remember whether I loved or hated this product in the end. However I do have another bottle of it so perhaps I'll give it another go at some stage. From memory it was a little bit greasy due to the SPF. 
Would I repurchase? Probably not.

Simple Kind to Skin Cleansing Facial Wipes
Pretty sure every single beauty blogger loves and raves about these wipes, and with good reason! I love them, they're so great. They are a little pricey, but well worth the money.
Would I repurchase? Yes.

Beauty Care Co Fragrance Free Facial Wipes
I didn't hate these wipes, but I certainly didn't love them either. I found that I really had to work hard to remove my makeup at the end of the day, and that's no fun!
Would I repurchase? No.
EXTRAS

Colgate Max White One Toothpaste
While this was a nice toothpaste to use, I definitely didn't notice much difference on the whitening front. I found that my regular toothpaste whitened my teeth just as much as this one did. 
Would I repurchase? No.

Coles Nail Polish Remover
When I bought this I didn't really have any high expectations, but was pleasantly surprised. It removes my nail polish really well, which is all you can ask for really.
Would I repurchase? Yes, I already have.
