#RivetEmpties Week - SKINCARE - January to April Empties!

Welcome back to #RivetEmpties week!

Day 1

Over a period of a few months, anything between 3 and 6, I collect all the products I use up in that period (or products that go rancid) and do a theme week to show what I have managed to use up! This week will only have four posts, as I'm not really purging anything, so we'll start off with our week's favourite, SKINCARE!

#RivetEmpties

.

Makeup Remover

Makeup remover.

In alphabetical order by brand.

Amie Naturally Kind

Gentle Facial Cleansing Wipes [Full Size] - Most facial wipes leave me having to rinse my face afterwards, these don't. They're actually THAT gentle, and I can use them for my eyes too.

Repurchase?

Definitely!

ModelCo

Micellar Cleansing Water [Full Size] - This has got to be the worst Micellar Water I have ever tried. I chucked half of it down the drain because it was so horrible. I don't know whether this was isolated to the batch, or the formula just really sucks, it didn't remove any makeup, even with a soaked cotton pad.

Repurchase?

Never, ever, no way!

Models Prefer 

Deep Clean Cleansing Wipes [Full Size] - These got me back onto the wipes. I forgot how much I liked them, but remembered how much some of them stung. This one didn't, so I was pleased to have these ones.

Repurchase?

I just may.

Nip + Fab

Dragon's Blood Cleansing Pads [Full Size] - I feel these left too much of a residue for cleansing pads and I had to rinse my face. They're definitely not eye safe.

Repurchase?

Unlikely.

Swisse

Micellar Makeup Remover [Travel Size] - Still by far the best Micellar Water!

Repurchase?

Trialling a different brand right now, so I will after!

.

Cleanser and Toner

Cleanser and Toner.

Babs Body Care

Facial Mist [Full Size] - This rose mist was sent from heaven. I'm a fan.

Repurchase?

Maybe, if I wind up finding Babs Body Care at a market in Sydney! (They're Melbourne based).

Hydroskin

Cleanser pH 5.5 [Trial Size] - This was probably the most gentle cleanser I have ever used. I really enjoyed using this range.

Repurchase?

Maybe.
FULL REVIEW

Hydroskin

Hydro Mist [Trial Size] - This mist felt rather redundant in the range, but that's only my opinion. Just felt it would have been better if the actives in this were part of the Hyaluronic Acid serum.

Repurchase?

No.
FULL REVIEW

Skin Physics

Dragon's Blood 3 in 1 Treatment Cleanser [Full Size] - This cleanser felt like it took forever to finish, but I did! It was in the shower for so long, and I used a fair amount when cleansing my face. I loved it.

Repurchase?

I totally would.

.

Serums and Treatments

Serums and Treatments.

e.l.f

Eye Refresh [Full Size] - I liked this rollerball at first, and I used it all the time, but then it disappeared and went rancid. Sad.

Repurchase?

I probably will.

Formula 10.0.6

Down To The Pore (Pore Strips) [Full Size] - I don't have an overly huge field of blackheads on my nose, but these definitely get some of them out!

Repurchase?

Yes, I already have!

Future Derm (Jozelle)

Argireline Skin Enhancing Serum [Full Size] - I don't think Argireline is the right peptide for me to use only because I don't have deep wrinkles.

Repurchase?

No.

Hylamide

C25 Booster Serum [Full Size] - The first Vitamin C booster serum I ever tried! This is a stable form, so it has a shelf life of 12 months. I had it open for around that long.

Repurchase?

Maybe, but I have a lot of other Vitamin C serums to trial first.

Hydroskin

HA Serum [Trial Size] - This Hyaluronic Acid serum was good. HA is one of my favourite ingredients.

Repurchase?

Maybe.

Moisturiser, Eye Cream and BB Cream

Moisturiser, Eye Cream and BB Cream.

Dermalogica

AgeSmart Multivitamin Power Firm [Trial Size] - The watermelon eye cream of my dreams. I don't think it's as great as the hype claims it to be.

Repurchase?

No, but I would use another sample.

Elemis

Pro-Collagen Marine Cream [Trial Size] - This was supposed to be in the last empties, but I forgot to add it to the pile. A spa-like moisturiser.

Repurchase?

No.

Hydroskin

Moisturiser C [Trial Size] - A Vitamin C moisturiser, that smelled a little floury. It was a nice moisturiser, though!

Repurchase?

Probably not.
FULL REVIEW

Josie Maran

Argan Face Butter [Sample] - I have so many of these to get through. Oh dear.

Repurchase?

Would use samples, but Mecca needs to stop putting them in every Beauty Loop box, we get it!

Kmart

Eye Cream [Full Size] - The cheapest eye cream on the market that actually seems like it may do something.

Repurchase?

At a point in time when I need that much eye cream!

Pelactiv

Hydra Daily Defense [Trial Size] - Another one that should've been in my last empties. Another salon/spa brand. Not as moisturising as I'd have liked it to be.

Repurchase?

No.

Touch In Sol

Pure Dew Water Drop BB Cream [Trial Size] - I really did love this, but it had no sun protection. Boo!

Repurchase?

Maybe, to use at night as foundation.

.

Facial Oil

Facial Oil.

Emma Hardie

Amazing Face Brilliance Facial Oil [Trial Size] - This oil is gorgeous and fruity. The packaging isn't the best, as it takes a long time for the right amount of product to come out.

Repurchase?

I have another one of these!

Springfields

Rose Facial Oil [Full Size] - I'd really love it if this facial oil didn't wind up turning into a peeling gel. Every time I would touch my face, the product would just ball up.

Repurchase?

No.

Swisse

Rosehip Oil [Full Size] - This is so full of essential oils that I couldn't handle it. If it were just pure Rosehip Oil, that would be fine.

Repurchase?

No, not unless it were not full of essential oils.

Be sure to come back tomorrow for the next post, face masks!
