Beauty Team Empties: Meet The Products We've Finished in June

Beauty Team Empties: Meet The Products We've Finished in June

Have you experienced that gut-wrenching moment when you realise your favourite product is all gone? Our beauty team knows it all too well; they’ve spritzed until their fingers hurt (no wastage here) and mastered lipstick application with the smallest nib. However, there comes a time when you have to call it a day and admit that the love affair is over; that is until your next order arrives. We’re passing that time by doing what we do best, sharing all of those ‘use every last drop’ products with you…

Product Pick: Avene Hydrance Hydrating Mist

Why did you buy this product? Caroline Hirons. Skincare royalty, Caroline spoke about the importance of hydrating mists in her book, Skincare, and from that moment on, I was at the mercy of all new face mist releases. Avene is a long-term favourite brand of mine, as I’ve suffered from eczema for years. So, when I saw they’d released a mist as part of their Hydrance line, I needed it. They’re experts in sensitive skin and hydration; what better brand to add to my mist line-up!

What did you love about this product? I was, of course, expecting to like this product. However, I didn’t realise how different it would be to others I’d tried. What sets this mist apart from the rest is that it hydrates skin in just 3 seconds and contains active ingredients hyaluronic acid, pro-vitamin E, vitamin B3 and the iconic Avene thermal spring water. The mist itself is the best I’ve used; it disperses all over the face evenly, unlike others that dribble out or poke you in the eye!

Will you be repurchasing it (or do you have your eye on something else next?) Every part of me wants to repurchase this. However, I have others I need to use up first. I hope to make my way through my stash and pick this up in our next French Pharmacy promotion.

What will you do with the empty? It’s in my recycling bin as we speak!

Product Pick: Avene B-Protect Sun Care Very High Protection SPF50+

Why did you buy this product? This is product was recommended to me when I first started at Escentual as I was looking for an easy tinted SPF. I haven’t looked back since I tried it.

What did you love about this product? I love the subtle tint this sun cream gives, as well as the SPF 50+ protection! It’s incredibly lightweight and hydrating, and it ensures I never forget my daily SPF. It’s effortless and convenient as it easily fits into both my skincare and makeup routine, giving a unifying and radiant glow with antioxidant defence as well as supreme sun protection.

Will you be repurchasing it (or do you have your eye on something else next?) I already have! This is one that I make sure I stock up as it nears its end – I wouldn’t be without it.

What will you do with the empty? I’ll recycle it.

Product Pick: Thierry Mugler Aura Scented Candle

Why did you buy this product? Luxury candles light a fire in my heart; I can’t resist a strong-smelling aroma that fills a room, especially when it’s one of my go-to perfumes.

What did you love about this product? The smell. If you love Aura, you’ll love this too.

Will you be repurchasing it (or do you have your eye on something else next?) I’m tempted to try the Alien one now – it’s such a unique scent.

What will you do with the empty? The candle is my new home office pen pot – super handy!

Product Pick: Bioderma Atoderm Ultra-Nourishing Anti-Irritation Shower Oil

Why did you buy this product? Every French Pharmacy promotion, I packed the same product over and over: the Atoderm Shower Oil 1 litre. It’s so big, I used to wonder how someone could need so much of it, and now I know why – it’s brilliant!

What did you love about this product? First off, it’s incredibly versatile. It’s a face, body and hair cleanser, and shaving oil come moisturising body wash – it does it all. I can promise once you add it to your routine, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it. The oil formula is so quenching and restores elasticity and softness to my skin, and when I don’t use it, I can tell. My skin becomes scaly, dry and just generally worse!

Will you be repurchasing it (or do you have your eye on something else next?) Yes, I already have. I learnt my lesson and sized up this time because I really can’t be without it – it’s a staple.

What will you do with the empty? I’ll recycle it.

Product Pick: La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Gel SPF30

Why did you buy this product? I love all things La-Roche-Posay! I have previously used the Hyalu B5 Hyaluronic Acid Serum and loved how refreshed it made me feel; when I saw they launched an SPF30 Gel, I had to try it.

What did you love about this product? Everything! The Hyalu B5 AquaGel provides my skin with much-needed moisture whilst protecting my complexion with SPF30 defence. The combination of hyaluronic acid and vitamin B5 antioxidants has massively improved my rough, bumpy skin texture caused by my constant battle with dry skin. Not to mention the gorgeous texture feels like a splash of hydration every morning, leaving my skin feeling refreshed, radiant and ready to start the day.

Will you be repurchasing it (or do you have your eye on something else next?) I already have the next one lined up on my shelf; this gel is my skin saviour.

What will you do with the empty? Recycle it.
