I can't believe it's September already! It'll soon be Christmas. Anyway, here's my empties from August.
Viviscal Hair Growth Supplements (PR, available HERE for £125 for 3 month's supply) - I've waited to finish the full 3 month course of these before including them on here, as they can take that long to work. As I've got short hair, I use hair wax on it and always notice how much hair comes out daily when it's applied. I wasn't losing a worrying amount, especially as my hair is thick and there's lots of it, but it was enough for me to take notice. Since taking these, the amount of hair that I was losing was much less! It really made a big difference.

Would I repurchase? No. Although they worked brilliantly, hair loss isn't a big issue for me as it's so thick, so they're not really needed! Especially as the amount I was losing is a normal amount. However, I'd definitely recommend them to try if you do have thin hair and lose a lot.
Solgar Collagen Hyaluronic Acid Complex (bought myself, available HERE for £37.25) - These are a fantastic collagen and hyaluronic acid supplement. Collagen really strengthens my nails and hyaluronic acid stops my eyes drying out as much when I wear contact lenses.

Would I repurchase? Yes.
Joules Body Wash (Christmas gift - part of a set, available HERE for £7.50) - A lovely creamy body was with an uplifting scent of jasmine and lemon. It lathers well and leaves my skin soft.

Would I repurchase? Probably not as there's other body washes I prefer. I certainly use it again if I received it as a gift though!
Sanctuary Spa Foaming Bath Soak (Christmas gift, available HERE for £12.50 - full sized) - I used this as a shower gel rather than a bath soak. It has the signature Sanctuary Spa scent that I love. It's super creamy and lathers well. Really lovely!

Would I repurchase? Yes.
Medik8 Hydr8 B5 Intense (PR, available HERE for £56) - My all time favourite hydrating serum! Read my original review HERE but to recap - it's a lightweight serum that absorbs beautifully and doesn't leave skin tacky. It's the best serum I've found to keep my dehydrated skin well hydrated. Nothing beats this for me!

Would I repurchase? Yes.
Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray (bought myself, available HERE for £21.60) - My favourite setting spray to date. It's super effective at melting makeup together and setting it in place. It's a super fine mist too so it doesn't disturb makeup.
Marks out of 10: 9/10
Would I repurchase? This was part of a twin pack so I've got another bottle already!
Thank You Farmer Silky Calming Sun Stick SPF 50 (PR, available from Tonic 15 HERE on its own for £23 or HERE as part of a duo with another gorgeous SPF for £38.70. You can save 15% at Tonic 15 using my code TORIA15) - This is such a handy SPF to keep in your handbag! It's perfect for top-ups in the day. I even apply it over makeup! It minimally disturbs makeup when applied, it just blends it a bit more! It has such a gorgeous, silky lightweight texture.

Would I repurchase? Yes, I already have!
Syrene Aquagel Oil to Foam Cleanser (bought myself, available HERE for £32.20) - You can read my original review of this HERE, it also featured in my favourite products of 2020 blog post HERE. This is such a beautiful, luxurious cleanser. It smells incredible - floral and fresh. It's a wonderful texture - a thick oil / gel that melts easily into a gentle lather. It rinses clean easily too. Such a treat to use!

Would I repurchase? Yes, I've got one in my stash ready to open!
Beauty Pie Efficient C Vitamin C supplements (bought myself, available HERE for £15.50) - A brilliant high strength Vitamin C supplement. Super easy to take and tastes great.
Marks out of 10: 10/10
Would I repurchase: Yes, I've started a new bottle already.
Replica By The Fireplace fragrance (bought myself, available HERE for £49) - This has become my favourite perfume! It's a perfect mix of smokiness and sweetness. It's so long lasting too. It has top notes of pink pepper, orange flower petals and clove oil, middle notes of chestnut accord, gaiac wood oil and cade oil, base notes of vanilla accord, Peru balsam and cashmeran. Honestly such an incredible scent, it literally makes me smile every time a wear it.
Marks out of 10: 10/10
Would I repurchase? Of course! I've already got a new bottle.
Medik8 Ultimate Recovery Bio-Cellulose Mask (bought myself, available HERE for £60 for a pack of 6) - The best single use mask, without question! Fits brilliantly, doesn't slip down and deeply hydrates skin. Absolutely incredible on a hot day after they've been in the fridge to cool.
Marks out of 10: 10/10
Would I repurchase? Most definitely!
Skinceuticals Silymarin CF serum (PR, available HERE for £140) - My holy grail Vitamin C serum! Read my original review HERE but to recap - it's incredible! It's specifically designed for oily / acne prone skin like mine. It contains high strength Vitamin C for antioxidant benefits, Salicylic Acid to clear pores and Silymarin to help control oil production. It's very pricey but definitely worth it for me, especially in summer when my skin is extra oily.
Marks out of 10: 10/10
Would I repurchase? Yes, definitely!
REN Atlantic Kelp and Magnesium Anti-Fatigue Body Wash (PR, available HERE for £26) - I've gone through this so quickly! I remember using it years ago and not being too fussed but this time round I love it. Maybe they changed the formula? Regardless, it's a gorgeous body wash, that I loved to use after working out. It's a thick gel that gives off a creamy lather. It leaves skin really soft too.
Marks out of 10: 9/10
Would I repurchase? Yes. Luckily for me, I've just been sent another bottle by REN. I opened it straight away!
