April Beauty Empties - Banner

 

We’re lucky enough to try loads of amazing products at Escentual. We’re always so excited by that first spritz of a new perfume or trying the newest beauty in the makeup world. But what about the products we loved so much we used every last drop? We’ve rounded up some of our beauty empties to let you know what we thought of them. Did we like them enough that we’re going to repurchase, or have we got wandering eyes when it comes to new beauty? Read on to find out…

April Beauty Empties: Dermalogica Age Smart Antioxidant Hydramist

Product Pick: Dermalogica Age Smart Antioxidant Hydramist

Why did you buy this product? I was lucky enough to get sent the Antioxidant Hydramist for a #NightInWithEscentual live. Janine, Dermalogica’s Head of Education, created a custom routine for me based on my lifestyle. I would have never picked this for myself, but I’m so glad Janine turned my head with it.

What did you love about this product? Antioxidants are vital for protecting the skin against pollution, and I love that this gives me a daily dose of protection. The mist format means I can protect my skin when out and about, at my desk or before bed – it’s the easy way to get your antioxidants in.

Will you be repurchasing it (or do you have your eye on something else next?) I’ve already got my eye on the new Pore Mist to try next.

What will you do with the empty? Recycle it!

April Beauty Empties: Giorgio Armani Sì Eau de Parfum Spray

Product Pick: Giorgio Armani Sì Eau de Parfum Spray

Why did you buy this product? I received this perfume as a gift. I’m a massive fan of scents with vanilla, and this is a very popular one that a friend thought I should try out. It was a great present; I loved it so much, I’ve spritzed every last drop!

What did you love about this product? Si makes me feel ‘put together’ every time I wear it. It’s fruity-floral but in a very grown-up way. Dare I say, it’s a little bit sexy too.

Whatever my mood, outfit, or the occasion I’m attending, Si works; it’s incredibly versatile. I think that’s why I’ve finished the bottle, I never have to second guess a spritz of Si, plus it helps that it has such great longevity, too. A couple of sprays on my pulse points in the morning, and I can still smell it at bed-time.

Will you be repurchasing it (or do you have your eye on something else next?) It pains me to type this, but no. Although I adore this perfume, I have so many fragrances I need to finish. But, when I’ve made my way through a few more bottles, this will be on my repurchase list.

What will you do with the empty? Unfortunately, you can’t recycle many perfume bottles. So what I like to do is pop them on display in my office. Not only do they serve as a reminder to repurchase them in the future, but they make wonderful ornaments that remind me of my love of beauty.

April Beauty Empties: Institut Esthederm Intensive Hyaluronic Eye Serum

Product Pick: Institut Esthederm Intensive Hyaluronic Eye Serum

Why did you buy this product? I had heard excellent reviews on the Institut Esthederm Intensive Hyaluronic range and was looking for a new eye serum or cream to be included in my morning and evening skincare routine. I’ve been feeling a lot more tired recently, and this serum seemed like the perfect solution to target my tired-looking eyes and give them hydration and brightening benefits. It seemed like the perfect all-rounder eye serum, and I’m pleased to say it is!

What did you love about this product? I love using the flat applicator to apply this eye serum; it offers a gentle massage that’s cooling, refreshing and a little bit pampering! The design is great too; the lid is at the bottom of the sleek black tube so all of the product flows down to the applicator – you get to use every last bit without wasting a single drop.

I’ve also seen a huge difference to my skin where it seems more plumped and hydrated around the eye area.

Will you be repurchasing it (or do you have your eye on something else next?) I will definitely be repurchasing; I would be lost without this eye serum.

What will you do with the empty? Recycle.

April Beauty Empties: Klorane Aquatic Mint Detox Dry Shampoo

Product Pick: Klorane Aquatic Mint Detox Dry Shampoo

Why did you buy this product? I bought the Klorane Dry Shampoo as lockdown has made me a bit lazy when it comes to hair washing! I’d heard loads of great things about the anti-pollution Aquatic Mint range, so I wanted to try the dry shampoo for a quick and effortless alternative to get out of washing my hair for another day.

What did you love about this product? I love the refreshing and cooling abilities of this dry shampoo. It instantly soaks up greasiness for a full and just-washed finish perfect for those Zoom meetings and instagram lives! It rids hair of pollution particles to clean hair without water and doesn’t leave a powdery or sticky residue, which is ideal for fresh and healthy locks.

Plus, the invigorating nettley aroma blends mint and lemon for a fresh and zesty boost. It dries invisible and effortlessly leaves hair feeling clean and detoxified – my partner uses it too to give his hair a quick refresh and a touch of texture.

Will you be repurchasing it (or do you have your eye on something else next?) I will definitely be repurchasing the Aquatic Mint Dry Shampoo, and will also treat myself to the anti-pollution shampoo and conditioner in the same range.

What will you do with the empty? I usually like to try and repurpose my old beauty empties, but I will be recycling the teal aerosol bottle.

April Beauty Empties: GUERLAIN Abeille Royale Night Cream

Product Pick: GUERLAIN Abeille Royale Night Cream

Why did you buy this product? I’m a Guerlain girl, through and through. Every skincare and makeup launch, I have to try! I also love any skincare with honey in it because of its repairing and soothing qualities, and as you might have guessed, the Abeille Royale range is packed full of it!

What did you love about this product? For me, it has to be the creamy, rich texture, the sweet, honeyed smell and of course how it makes your skin feel when you wake in the morning; deeply hydrated, plump and silky-smooth skin; plus your makeup goes on a dream. I honestly haven’t used a better night cream!

Will you be repurchasing it (or do you have your eye on something else next?) II won’t be repurchasing this straight away but I want to! When I’m looking to really treat myself this will be top of my list.

What will you do with the empty? Recycle.
