March empties - Neal's Yard Remedies, Renu, i Coloniali, L'Occitane, La Roche-Posay Serozinc, Naked Bodycare, Duchy Collection

  
Duchy Bergamot Lime conditioner – I picked this up at TKMaxx in clearance for £1! I enjoyed using this and the fragrance was stunning. I’d repurchase again but I’m not sure this is still produced or where you’d buy it as I haven’t seen it since. 

I Coloniali shower gel – I wouldn’t purchase again unless it was reformulated, but the signature i Coloniali fragrance they have in their soaps and body products keeps pulling me back. I wish they bottled it and sold it as an EDT, I’d wear nothing else.

Neals Yard Remedies Rose daily moisturiser – I always like to see a bottle cut in two so you can scrape out every last blob. Love Neal's Yard's moisturisers. Would repurchase, but in a different scent.

Neals Yard Remedies Rose facial cleanser 50ml – Product worked well as a cleanser but would not buy again only because prefer cream or oil cleanser.

Neals Yard Remedies eye gel – my favourite eye gel ever.I’ve already repurchased and intend to keep on repurchasing until a better one comes along. Highly recommended.

L’Occitane rose hand cream – I didn’t like this shimmery hand cream at all and this was regulated to night time use only and I burned through it as quickly as I could. Would not repurchase and I must remember to read labels in future!

Naked Bodycare Take Care Orange Blossom body wash 250ml - this sulfate-free body wash is one of my favourites, plenty more left in the stash!

Renu face mask – bought on the cheap from the TKMaxx clearance shelf, around £5 or so. It felt pleasant to use, but I didn't see amazing results and I would not repurchase at full price as this retails for £32!

La Roche Posay Serozinc – a product I suspect was introducted to most people through Caroline Hirons’ wonderful blog This is a definite repurchase and I’d recommend to anyone who suffers with razor burn to at least try this product.

Neal's Yard White Tea Toning Eye Gel review



Neals Yard Remedies White Tea Toning Eye Gel – I reckon that I've tried just about every eye gel ever made over the years and this is easily my pick for favourite eye gel. I first purchased this up a couple of years ago in their sale but didn’t use it until I’d started using an eye roll-on from Aldi that everyone raved about but gave me an ugly allergy all around my eye sockets. I turned to this in an effort to soothe my burning eyes and it worked brilliantly. 

It’s different from a lot of eye products in that it’s a runny gel, not a cream. It has a pump dispenser which can be fiddly to control and get the right amount of product. I use it morning and evening and it’s been the best eye product I’ve tried so far. My eyes have always been dry and you know when you close your eyes and your eyes sting a bit? Yes, that. This eye gel soothes and I really noticed the difference when I ran out and stopped using it. 

At £23.75 for 10ml, this is pretty pricey, but I don't mind paying when a product actually works so I’ve already repurchased and intend to keep on repurchasing until a better one comes along. Highly recommended.

"Cooling, soothing and refreshing, this is toning and firming for the delicate skin around the eye, while visibly reducing puffiness and minimising the appearance of dark circles. With antioxidant, anti-ageing white tea; suitable for both men and women's skin."

Here's the list of ingredients:
Hamamelis virginiana (Witch hazel) extract, Alcohol denat., Aqua (Water), Glycerin, Rosa centifolia (Rose) flower extract, Aloe barbadensis (Aloe vera) leaf juice powder*, Euphrasia officinalis (Eyebright) extract*, Sodium hyaluronate, Camellia sinensis (White tea) leaf extract.
