October Empties 2022

Who's ready for another load of empties? It feels like 5 minutes since my last post!

Doctor Seaweed's Weed & Wonderful Focus+ supplements (PR, available HERE for £29.95) - I really like these supplements. They definitely make me feel more alert.

Would I repurchase? Not at the moment. I'm cutting back on supplements as they're expensive!

Zitsticka Killa Microdart Patches (PR, available HERE on offer for £23.57 - usually £27) - I've used that last couple of these up. They're fantastic for those deep under the skin spots that never come to a head. They flatten them overnight! They're expensive but really do work.

Would I repurchase? Yes.

Jordan Samuel Skin The Performance Eye Gel (bought myself, available HERE for £34) - This is a fantastic eye serum! It's a lightweight gel consistency that's super hydrating. It has a very subtle brightening shimmer to it, so I usually only used it in my AM routine. You get a huge 30ml too (most eye products are 15ml) so it lasted ages too.

Would I repurchase? Yes. 

Medik8 Crystal Retinal 6 serum (gift, available HERE for £62) - I'm sure you know by now how much I love Medik8's Crystal Retinal range, I've been using it for years! The range has loads of different strengths - 1, 3, 6, 10 and 20. I've been using 10 for a while and have just moved up to 20. My friend sent me this as she wasn't going to use it all and didn't want it to go to waste. I used it alongside 10. I preferred to use this lower strength one if I was using a stronger acid product, so I didn't overdo it. The serum is fantastic to help with signs of ageing. It's also great to help with breakouts too, as it's antibacterial. The best!

Would I repurchase? Yes definitely, more likely 10 or 20 strengths instead though.

Zitsticka Goo Getter Spot Clarifying Dots (PR, available HERE for £18 for a box which contains two of these packs. 36 patches in total) - These are the best pimple patches I've used and I've tried loads! The hydrocolloid patch is brilliant to draw out gunk from whitehead spots - it's so effective. These also contain Niacinamide to fade spot pigmentation, Vitamin C also for fading, Salicylic Acid to clear pores and Tea Tree Oil for its antibacterial properties. They definitely help take the redness out of spots overnight.

Would I repurchase? Yes.

Vieve Skin Nova primer (bought myself, available HERE for £27) - I'm in love with this primer! It's a gorgeous silky gel, that has a brightening gold shimmer to it. It can be worn alone or under foundation. I've most been wearing it on it's own with a bit of concealer, as I love the finish of it! It leaves skin looking so dewy and glowy but not over the top. It's hydrating too. I love the scent of it - it's a beautiful subtle sweet, floral fragrance.

Would I repurchase? Most definitely! I'm just trying to use up a couple of other primers first, as they've been open a while. 

Byoma Moisturising Gel-Cream (PR, available HERE for £11.99) - This moisturiser has blown me away! It's incredible, especially for the price. It's a wonderful texture - a lightweight gel that just melts into skin. It contains a tri-ceramide complex to support skin's barrier, as well as Niacinamide and Green Tea. I find it really hydrating. It doesn't block my pores either. I love that the packaging is refillable too. The only slight negative for me is that it's un-fragranced. I usually like a bit of a scent in my cream, for the enjoyment! However, for this moisturiser I'll make an exception, as it's that good.

Would I repurchase? Of course! I've got a refill ready to go. I'm purposely not opening it yet though, as I've got some others to test out first.

Hourglass Vanish Airbrush Concealer (bought myself, available HERE for £32) - Not quite an empty but I realised it's been open 2 1/2 years! Oops. You can read my original review HERE but to recap - it's a brilliant concealer, one of my favourites. It gives great coverage without being heavy or cakey. It blends beautifully and lasts all day. The colour match for me is really good too. You only need a small amount which is why I've not quite used it all up!

Would I repurchase? Yes.

Kate Somerville Kateceuticals Lifting Eye Cream (PR, available HERE for £110) - OK I know this eye cream is super expensive but hear me out...it might just be the best eye cream I've ever tried! It's incredible - it's a beautiful cream texture that manages to be hydrating and nourishing, without being greasy. It's fantastic to help with dark circles and fine lines. It contains a whole host of peptides, along with hyaluronic acid and Vitamin C. 

Marks out of 10: 9/10 - only marking down because of the price!

Would I repurchase? Yes, if I see it of offer. 

Beauty Pie Efficient C supplement (bought myself available HERE for £15.50) - I've been using this Vitamin C supplement for month now. It's high strength, easy to take and tastes nice. It's also much cheaper than other brands.

Would I repurchase? Yes, I already have.

Ted Baker Peony Spritz Body Wash (Christmas gift, not available at the moment) - This was part of a gift set. It's a lovely peony scented body wash, that leave skin soft and smelling gorgeous.

Marks out of 10: 6/10

Would I repurchase? Probably not, as there's other body washes that I prefer. 

Solgar Collagen Hyaluronic Acid Complex (bought myself, available HERE for £37.25) - Another supplement that I've been using for ages now! It's brilliant to stop my eyes drying out as much and it helps keep my nails stronger too.

Would I repurchase? Yes, I already have.

 

Beigic Treatment Lotion (bought myself, available HERE from Tonic 15 for £38 but you can save 15% using my code TORIA15) - You can read my original review HERE but to recap - this is an incredible essence! Such a beautiful consistency - lightweight, silky and so hydrating. It contains a six-peptide complex along with a whole host of soothing and hydrating ingredients. My skin absolutely loves it! This bottle has lasted ages too, especially given how often I've used it.

Would I repurchase? Yes, definitely.

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