July Empties 2022

It's taken me way too long to write this empties post but better late than never!

Ultrasun Transparent Face and Scalp UV Protection Mist SPF 50 (bought myself, available HERE for £18) - I adore this mist! It's definitely the best SPF mist I've tried. It's completely transparent, it doesn't sting my face / eyes and it works brilliantly over makeup. The only downside is the price. I go though a bottle of this so quickly, as I like to spray plenty to make sure I'm getting good coverage / protection, so it ends up being expensive!

Would I repurchase? Definitely! I'm using a stick SPF for top ups at the moment though.

Doctor Seaweed's Weed & Wonderful Focus+ (PR, available HERE for £29.95) - I really liked these! I definitely felt like these made me feel a bit brighter and more alert. They contain seaweed (for Iodine), B complex, Zinc and Omega 3. 
Marks out of 10: 8/10
Would I repurchase? Yes but not at the moment - I'm already spending too much on supplements!

Beauty Pie Efficient C Vitamin C Supplement (bought myself, available HERE for £15.50 for Beauty Pie members) - The best Vitamin C supplement I've tried. It's so easy to take, you just mix a teaspoon of it into water and drink. It just tastes like orange.

Would I repurchase? Yes I already have.

Skinfuse Lift and Rescue (came with SkinPen treatment at Beauty at the Gate - PR discount) - I had SkinPen microneedling at Beauty at the Gate again and I was given this skincare for my aftercare. It's specifically designed to be used post treatment. Lift is a lightweight gel and Rescue is more of a gel / cream that's thicker and more nourishing.

Would I repurchase? Yes I'll definitely have SkinPen done again. Check out my SkinPen review HERE.

Living Proof No Frizz Shampoo and Conditioner (PR, available HERE for £12 each - travel size) - Such a great shampoo and conditioner! It really helps tame frizz and smooth my hair out. Smells gorgeous too!

Evy Technology Daily Defence Face Mousse SPF 50 (PR, available HERE for £27 but you can save 15% using my code TORIA15).
I'm sure you know by now that this is my favourite SPF! It's a mousse so it's incredibly lightweight, it's hydrating, not greasy, doesn't leave a white cast on me, doesn't sting my eyes and it's amazing under makeup, as it never pills / rolls. It's designed for sensitive skin so is perfect to use after peels / microneedling etc. Plus it offers incredible protection, as it's patented formula gets into a deeper layer of your skin. The best!

Would I repurchase? Always!

Medik8 Ultimate Recovery Bio-Cellulose Mask x 3 (bought myself, available HERE for £62.50 for 6) - Honestly the best single use masks I've ever tried! Nothing compares to these for me. They're made of a thick bio-cellulose which feels rubbery. This makes it stick to your face brilliantly and is super cooling too. I love to pop these masks in the fridge for an extra cooling treat in summer. The masks are intensely hydrating and leave skin super plump and juicy. I love using these a day or two after having treatments like peels or microneedling to help avoid peeling. The only downside to these is the cost - they're expensive! I wait until they're on offer to buy them.

Would I repurchase? I literally just have! I spotted they were on offer at SkinCity when I was looking up the above hyperlink - they're 25% off this weekend. Go, go, go!

Simple 5 Minute Reset Hydrogel Mask (bought myself, available HERE for £3) - I bought this as a cheap alternative to the above Medik8 masks but to be honest they're not comparable. This mask is in two parts of really thin hydrogel. I just couldn't get the mask to stay put! It slid apart and then off my face. It was nicely hydrating though but nowhere near as good as the Medik8.
Marks out of 10: 4/10
Would I repurchase? No, although I've got a couple more left to use as they were on offer when I got this.

Filorga Hydra-Filler Mask (PR, available HERE for £11) - I liked this mask. It fitted fairly well and stayed in place easily. It did a great job and hydrating and plumping my skin. I do think it's pretty expensive though.
Marks out of 10: 7/10
Would I repurchase? No because of the price.

Beaudiani Aroma Mask Lavender (Genuinely can't remember where this came from! Possibly PR, possibly a gift, available HERE for £4.50) - This mask was pretty nice! It wasn't the best fit but it was  really hydrating and soothing. It had a gorgeous relaxing lavender scent. For the price, it's great!
Marks out of 10: 6/10
Would I repurchase? Probably not as I'd prefer to get the Medik8 ones.

Lancome Hyprose Doll Eyes Mascara (bought myself, available HERE for £27.50) - I'd become fed up of mascaras that clumped my eyelashes together, so bought this as it had great reviews for separating lashes. It doesn't disappoint! It really fans lashes out as well as being great at lifting, curling and lengthening them too. It's the full package! Not the cheapest but definitely worth it for me.

Mitchum Shower Fresh deodorant (bought myself available HERE for £3) - My go-to antiperspirant! Incredibly effective, smells nice and doesn't leave white marks on my black tops.

Would I repurchase? Yes, I already have.

Fudge Professional Style Mineral Paste (bought myself, available HERE for £10.95) - This was a great styling paste. It has just enough hold without being crispy. It could make hair look a bit dull though if you applied too much.
Marks out of 10: 7/10
Would I repurchase? No as there's another Fudge wax that I prefer.

REN Evercalm Redness Relief Serum (PR, available HERE for £27.95) - This is a beautiful serum! It's a lightweight, milky texture that's really soothing. It works brilliantly to calm skin and redness.

Would I repurchase? Yes. 


And that's it for this month! Short and sweet.
