Here are my skincare empties for the month of December!
Avene rich compensating cream // Melvita micelliaire water // Caudalie SOS serum // Nivea rich moisturising cream |
Firstly, the Avene Rich Compensating Cream. To be honest I have used all of this up but I cannot use any more as it irritates my skin. I hate throwing things away especially when they were quite expensive. When I bought this product I loved Avene (and I still do to an extent) but this product I didn't get along with. The cream itself is really nice, it has a very smooth texture and it applies really nicely but I find that this cream does irritate my skin - it makes my skin tingly and itchy (not massively so but to the point where I don't want to use this product anymore). I think this product would be great for those with very dry skin but I would not recommend this product if you have sensitive skin.
Next up is the Melvita Eau Fraiche Micellaire Water which is a makeup remover. I bought this product for £1 from latestinbeauty.co.uk as I love my Vichy micellar water. I don't like this one as much as the Vichy product. This makeup remover needs some help to remove my makeup whereas the Vichy micellar water doesn't. Also I do not like the scent as this product smells like rose perfume and I do not like scented skincare products. Not recommended.
Next up is a product from one of my favourite skincare brands - it is the Caudalie Vinosource SOS Serum. I received this product in a Glossy Box I think and I used it for about a month straight when I first received it then I stopped using and started again at the beginning of December. I really like this serum, it doesn't irritate my skin, it smoothes my skin, it absorbs quickly and it just works well!
My last skincare empty for the month of December is the Nivea Daily Essentials Rich Moisturising Cream (for dry and sensitive skin). I really liked this product, it applies well and it made my skin feel hydrated and velvety smooth. This product is scented which I don't like and on occasion it did irritate my skin but no where near enough for me to stop using this product. Overall, a nice, cheap daily moisturiser.
I really want to try the Nivea one. Sounds really good :)

Nice list. I like that it's not super long, as some empties can be quite a novel. Want to try the Nivea cream.

Such a bummer about the expensive skin care that didn't work all that great! I always feel so guilty when I have to throw things like that away! I need to sign up for a glossy box! Seems like they send out pretty substantial products!

i've been looking for night cream, and i was wondering if you have any suggestions :)
ReplyDeleteNivea is great especially for the price! x
ReplyDeleteI bought the Avene Cream from Boots after a friend recommended it to me. I used it just once and my chin broke out in terrible spots, which never happens x
ReplyDeleteYou can't go wrong with Nivea though!
