April Empties
Words by Matt Huxley
Let’s go through my trash:
Stefan Shave Oil: Phenomenal, loved every second of using it. It has this effect of clumping up your beardsy bristles so that they’re easier to remove. Great product.
Lush Snow Fairy: Made me smell like a candy scented goddess so what’s not to love?
Bathox Rose and Jasmine Shower Gel: I have bought this quite a number of times now and I always enjoy it. Grab this bad boy from chemist warehouse.
EOS Lip Balm: This was the vanilla mint scent and it was really enjoyable. These are really difficult to find however, so almost not worth the trouble?
Planet Earth Body Lotion: Bought this from Target years ago and it’s just hung on in my cupboard. Bit meh tbh.
Schwarzkopf Silhouette Hairspray: Like me, a bit iconic.
The Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Cream: I know this is a cult fave, but I don’t rate it tbh.
Garnier Cleansing Milk: I enjoy a good cream cleanser, and this one was no different. I probably wouldn’t buy it again but if you have very sensitive or dry skin it would be a good option.
Moogoo Milk Wash: Possibly the first Moogoo product i’ve used that I haven’t loved.
Lush Mint Julep Lip Scrub: Nice and minty fresh, but seriously just use some caster suger and coconut oil, it’s the same thing.
Indeed Exfoliator: This is a bit of knock off of the Dermalogica Microfoliant. Probably a little less successful than that product if I’m being super critical, but it’s decent.
Savvy Primer: Whilst this may not have done wonders for my skin, it was great for just providing products a base to stick to. And realistically, isn’t that we want them to do?
The Body Shop Facial Oil: Holy shit, this is the best facial oil I’ve ever used. Trust me, try it. You will be blown away.
So Fresh Wipes: I enjoy a moist wipe, and these stay moist. What more can you ask for.
