May Empties and Fails

My first item is an out and out fail. Perfect Pout from Cougar. Whilst this does plump your lips up (briefly) the texture and smell of this product is just vile. I had got it in May's Pink Parcel (http://hansunahnah.blogspot.com/2016/05/pink-parcel-may-2016.html) and was keen to give it a go. It's thick, sticky,  gloopy and heaven help you if you decide to eat something whilst wearing it (unless crumbs stick to your lips is your thing). This is definitely going in the bin I'm sorry to say. This item is £29 and had I paid that for the item I would have been absolutely gutted.

I love baths and I'm currently trying out a range of Avon bubble baths to see which scent is my favourite. I've just finished up the last of the lavender one. Whilst this does bubble up nicely and it smells quite good, I don't think it's as nice as the white lily one I finished up in March

Would I purchase it again? Probably if it was on offer, otherwise I'd be more likely to buy another scent.

As you can see I have squeezed and pushed every last drop put of this body cream from Rituals. Magic Touch in Cherry Blossom and Rice Milk is just such a lovely product. It goes on nicely without leaving an oily or sticky residue. It smells amazing and on top of that it really does make my skin lovely and soft. Looking on the Rituals website they have changed the name of product.

Would I buy this again? For shizzle. Only reason I haven't already is because I have so many body creams already!

Baylis & Harding's cleansing hand wash in Sweet mandarin & grapefruit did exactly what you would expect. It cleaned my hands and had a nice scent. I can't say it was the most nourishing of hand washes  which maybe explains why I wasn't the biggest fan of this product. I have really dry skin and for me this just didn't quite cut the grade so chances are I wouldn't repurchase it again.

I used up my last tester of Ren's cleansing water which nearly broke my heart. It is an awesome product. It easily removes my make up and the stress/strain of the day. It leaves my skin nice and clean and basically I am in love with this product. My first Look Fantastic Beauty Box sent me about a million cleansers so I'm gonna try then out first but if none of those are a winner then chances are I would repurchase this one again.

Although I've literally used up every last bit of this product I would say I'm a bit 50/50 about it. My Little Beauty 'Sweet Hand Cream' came in my November 'My Little Sweet Box' from their own beauty brand. http://hansunahnah.blogspot.co.uk/2015/11/my-little-box-november-2015.html?m=1

It smells amazing but the texture is a little overly thick for my liking. 

Would I purchase it again? Hand creams is something all too quickly supplied in beauty boxes and I have a surplus of them. This isn't a bad product but it isn't my favourite so I'm doubtful that I would buy it again.

 So that's my selection of this month's Empties and Fails and it's been a bit of a mixed bag. July I'll be back to tell you about June's selection of perfect products that I love and ones that I hated.

Pink Parcel May Products

First on my to try list was Cougar 'Perfect Pout'. I have a thin top lip and have been toying with the thought of lip fillers. I don't really have the excess cash to spare so I was hoping this was the miracle I had been praying for. Sadly it isn't. The texture is horrible and it's sticky. It stinks to high heaven. This is not a product I would recommend.

After applying:

Personally I see no difference  (except better lighting). Let me know what you made of it.

I haven't been keeping all that well recently so I haven't been able to get in to the salon for get my nails done. I opted to soak them off myself and paint with the True Brit 'It's a Monthly Thing' nail enamel. I wasn't overly fond of the formula and it chipped quite easily despite me using a top coat but I do like the colour so happy to keep this one.

After the hard work of getting my nails done, I felt it was time for a tasty treat so I eager tucked into Fudge Kitchen's White Chocolate and Raspberry Fudge Cube. The raspberry is definitely the main flavour but for me (even with my sweet tooth) it was a bit too sweet. I gave my boyfriend a nibble and he felt exactly the same. I was a little sad that it wasn't as good as I'd hoped. I'm fact I couldn't even finish.

I turned to Rococo's Honeycomb Crunch and that is one tasty bar of chocolate. Nice decent sized chunks of honeycomb and the chocolate is a lovely milk chocolate. I was very impressed. I don't know what else to say about this chocolate but it is delicious and well worth a try if you haven't already.

The English Tea Shop provided my cuppa for this month. The delicious sounding blend of Chocolate, Rooibos and Vanilla this was bound to make the cramps, headaches and general awfulness of your monthly visit a lot easier to cope with. Whilst I wasn't a massive fan of the smell of the tea, it did taste damn good  I'd definitely repurchase this tea again.

The make up brush from Lottie London certainly wasn't the best make up brush I've ever used. It certainly looks like part in my make up brush holder. Using it though I wouldn't say its the best make up brush I've ever used. In fact it just feels a little lacking. Probably won't be keeping this one.

I've been using Badger Balm most nights. As I've said before I really struggle getting to sleep most nights but I have found that the nights I use this balm I do get to sleep with much more ease. The scent isn't overpowering and I must say this will probably be a staple in my bedside table from now on. The added bonus is that I find a little goes a long way do it should last for quite some time now.

This is now my third Pink Parcel box and I must say I'm still super impressed. It is great value for money. In fact, it's gonna be cheaper from now on and they are changing what the do with the products so I am really looking forward to June's. I can't not wait to show you guys when it arrives.
