It's a cream product in a little pod and I realize only now that the name was wrong: It's called Repair mask, sorry about that!

I've used this bi-weekly, but had been introduced to it by my facial lady. It gets really, really hot on the face for ~10 min and then starts to cool down again and you'll look like a lobster for a bit. Great for battling impurities because you get much better blood circulation that flushes everything and it all looks really plump. i think the package mentioned that you could use it up to twice a week, but I don't have it anymore. I always used it the night before an event as a skin treat.

L'oreal Age perfect BB cover - This was very 'orangey' and the shade light was still too dark for me, I used it but definitely won't buy this again

Lidl version of Lush Dizzy rose shower gel - was absolutely lovely and lasted for a long time, gorgeous fragrance, will be buying more

Geek & Gorgeous A game 10 0.1% retinal serum. A really nice and affordable retinol. I’ve been using retinol for around 10 years so I’m moving onto tretinoin now.

I heard this is a very good dupe for the Medik8 one!

Scientia Dusk Elixir - bought this in a beauty box. It was okay but nothing special that would entice me to repurchase.

T/Gel Therapeutic shampoo - this helps the psoriasis on my scalp making it less itchy. Unfortunately it is very drying on my hair so I tend to only use it for the first wash and I use a more forgiving shampoo for the second wash. I have been using a regular shampoo for the past couple of weeks and my scalp has got very itchy already so I would repurchase. That said, I’m now trying a Body Shop Ginger shampoo to see if that helps my scalp without drying out my hair. Fingers crossed it works.

Silk Oil of Morocco Argan Hair Creme - had this for years and it’s meant to help with split ends. I no longer have split ends so I wouldn’t repurchase.

Thanks guys, what's everyone using then that actually works. Might give ATK a try.

Would it work for body odour? I'm on meds that make me sweat and no matter what Deodorant I use there's always a smell.

I feel it’s the only thing that makes me fresh and removes any sweat smells

• Inkey List Tranaxemic Acid Serum: not sure it did anything. will not repurchase

I’m getting good results from the ME+ one from Superdrug for hyperpigmentation in just a weeek or so. Used it a while back and had results too then forgot about. Committing this time.
Considering buying the minimalist one but there’s no reviews or Skin Theory’s at double the % but 3x the £. Anyone used skin theory?

First empty of the year! Greendoor deodorant creme, which lasted almost exactly to the date one year I bought it January 4th and it claims to be enough for six months, so this is a really good turnout. I always thought it lasted longer with my previous jars but now I have proof. Was my third jar of it, already have a new one lined up, seriously one of the best deodorants I have tried.

Geek & Gorgeous C-Glow Vitamin C serum. Loved this, definitely saw improvement on pigmentation spots. Reasonable price for a Vit C serum as well. Likely repurchase after I've used up some other serums.

I like this and their hylaronic

Would love to know your current thoughts on Beauty Pie? I used to have a subscription but cancelled about 3 years ago, but was considering going back as there are a few things I really miss (Detox shampoo, Happy Face moisturiser, face powder and some of the serums).

I bloody love their products but in the last month or so it’s gone to shit. They change their app, products are discontinued or out of stock. Look at recent trust pilot reviews. I just renewed automatically and doing a chargeback because they don’t reply to me

Garnier Ultimate Blends Repairing Hair Food Papaya and Amla - Smelt nice but pretty sure it did nothing for my hair

Pacifica Vegan Collagen Hydrating Milk Tonic - Bought on clearance in Superdrug, probably wouldn't buy at full price despite actually quite liking it. Was hydrating but lightweight and despite being fragranced it didn't irritate my skin. Really like the pump too, wish more toners had that as found I used less product.

Re the AKT deodorant, I see that it’s a balm. Does it cause cruddy pits on your clothes?
I used to use a stick deodorant but changed a few years back to an aerosol because the stick was ruining my clothes.

Not empty, but trashed: Balea Teint Perfektion lash serum.
Bought it after the The Ordinary lash serum which I really liked, just thought it would be more convenient to have one from a drugstore I don’t need to order.
It wasn’t horrible, but when dry it looked like I had traces of glue around my eyes. I sometimes felt it might sting a little.
Didn’t use it for two weeks, used it once and it really stung badly. So into the bin it went, I don’t want it near my eyes if it stings. Doubt it did anything for the lashes.

 

[Mum3boys]

Loving the thread!! Will have a good read through. I’ve been following Orjenise monthly declutter and trying to get rid of as much as possible it’s pretty good actually

 

[fxckmanet]

It’s only ok I’d say.
The Smol one is very effective x

Ooh I was thinking of trying the Smol one because I get all of my cleaning products from them anyway good to know it works!

Beauty Pie - Superbrow Angled Shaping Pencil, shade Blonde Girl.
This is the ideal shade for me. Unfortunately I’m no longer a member of Beauty Pie so I can’t repurchase. I’ve since tried a Nyx “blonde” equivalent but it’s orange. I’ve bought a Rimmel one which is a good colour match but it’s a thick crayon size. Maybelline do a good match for me which I’m currently using but I do miss the Beauty Pie one.

There's a FB group of members selling their Beauty Pie stuff, so I'd check there or ebay if you want another

Nivea hyaluron cellular night cream - nice enough cream, have others to use up.

 

[coconochanel]

Garnier Micellar water- not repurchased this as the Nivea one was on offer so thought I'd give that a try instead.
Tresemme conditioner-didn't really soften my hair so will not be buying another bottle.

 

[Codiaeum]

Garnier Whole Blends 1liter pump bottle of the Oat shampoo. Love this, but I like the kids version even better, which sadly isn't available in ridiculous sizes, so I've the regular size as a backup. I've dacanted about 1.5 weeks worth of shampoo from the pump bottle into another small one as the pump (of course ) wasn't getting the last bit.

Just finished a Kin shampoo bar. Lasted ages but was very expensive .
