Exuviance Gentle Cream Cleanser (PR, available HERE for £28.50) - This got me hooked on cream cleansers! It's a beautiful texture - thick but it spreads easily. It's incredibly gentle to skin - leaving it soft and clean. It smells gorgeous too - I find it a really nostalgic traditional cream scent. Really comforting. It's great to remove makeup easily.

Would I repurchase? Yes.

Hourglass Confession Ultra Slim High Intensity Refillable lipstick (bought myself, available HERE for £35) - I adore this lipstick formula! It's incredibly creamy and pigmented. So comfortable to wear and moisturising. It last well too! This isn't quite an empty but I've had it years and the scent has changed so it's having to go. I'm keeping the casing obviously! Love that it's refillable.

Soak Sunday Midnight Storm Ginger and Woodsmoke candle (PR, available HERE for £21) - This smells incredible! Really warm and spicy thanks to the ginger. The smoke scent is subtle but balances it out nicely. It's throw was good - it easily filled the room.

Beauty Pie Efficient C supplement (bought myself, available HERE for £14.09 for Beauty Pie members) - If you're not familiar with how Beauty Pie works - read my blog post HERE. This is liposomal Vitamin C which is meant to be the best form to take as the body absorbs it easily. I've been wanting to take a supplement like this for ages but they were out of my price range. Luckily Beauty Pie released this - it's about half the price of it's competitors. You mix a teaspoon of the liquid into water and drink. It's pleasantly flavoured - a sweet orange.

Would I repurchase? I already have!

Wild Nutrition Food-Grown Endo Complex supplements (bought myself, available HERE for £35) - I've been taking these for months now and really do think they help with my Endometriosis. They contain a specific mix of ingredients designed to help with balancing hormones, inflammation, fatigue and moods.

Would I repurchase? I have it on subscription so I don't run out! Plus it saves a bit of money too.

Skingredients Skin Good Fats (bought myself, available HERE for £49) - This is such an amazing moisturiser! Read my original review HERE but to recap - it's a beautifully soothing cream that's rich and protective. I have to be careful with rich creams in case they aggravate my acne but this one is specifically designed not to do that. It's packed with ceramides and lipids to soothe and nourish skin. Normally I wouldn't enjoy using an un-fragranced cream as I love the spa-like experience but this is that good, I don't care! The packaging has been update since this one. It's now refillable so if you repurchase, you save a bit of money!

Would I repurchase? Most definitely!   

 

Luneia Renewal Concentrate (PR, available HERE for £38) - Such a wonderful Retinoid serum! I found this to be gentle but still very effective. I usually use a higher strength retinoid but I loved using this on days where I wanted to use a stronger exfoliating product too. Texture wise, it's a lightweight lotion that absorbs beautifully. Another winner from Luneia!

Would I repurchase? Yes.

Pixi Beauty Rose Body Polish (PR, available HERE for £24) - I wasn't really keen on this. You had to squeeze the tube ridiculously hard to get any product out. I ended up having to unscrew the lid to be able to get it out easier. The scrub itself was ok - it wasn't too chunky or harsh. I didn't really smell of rose either - it was so subtle, it was barely there.

Would I repurchase? No.

LQ Collagen Skin Hair Nails Max supplement (PR, available HERE for £29.99 for 10) - I've taken a couple of these this month, I tend to alternate between a couple of different collagen supplements. These are really high strength and have a strong fruity flavour. So easy to take with it being a liquid.

Would I repurchase? No as they're out of my price range to take daily. 

Solgar Collagen Hyaluronic Acid Complex (bought myself, available HERE for £37.25) - These are the usual collagen tablets I take. I used to take separate Collagen and Hyaluronic Acid supplements so it made sense to take these instead. I get really dry eyes and wear contact lenses. Taking Hyaluronic acid really helps with that. The collagen makes a huge difference to my nails - they grow longer and stronger.

Sol de Janeiro Brazilian 4Play Moisturising Shower Cream Gel (bought myself, available HERE for £10) - This has the same incredible caramel / nutty scent as their Bum Bum cream. The scent lingers brilliantly. The shower gel is super creamy, lathers beautifully and leaves skin soft and moisturised. So good!

Would I repurchase? Yes.

Bioeffect EGF Essence (bought myself, available HERE for £72) - A super lightweight, watery essence that instantly hydrates skin. I found it fairly soothing and calming too. As much as I liked this, there's other similar products that I prefer, especially for the price (like this one HERE.)

Would I repurchase? If it was on offer, yes. Full price, no. 

Medik8 Mutiny lip balm (PR, available HERE for £19) - Literally one of the best lip balms I've ever tried! A gorgeous texture, it's not overly thick and it leaves lips glossy. It stays on well too. It actually hydrates lips thanks to containing Squalane. It's also really protective and soothing. Amazing stuff!

Would I repurchase? Absolutely! 

And that's it for this month! Thanks for reading.
