september empties

These are the products I've used up during the beginning of September and what I thought of them.

Soap & Glory Clean On Me
I have somewhat of a love hate relationship with this shower gel. I initially loved it but then the tub was so big I got sick of the scent and using the same shower gel everyday so I had to switch it up, after a while I Came back to it and really liked it again but then once again I started getting sick of it! I have a full review on this product which you can find here.
Cruelty-Free: Yes
Repurchase: No 

Loreal Everstrong Reconstruct Shampoo & Conditioner 
I wasn't a fan of this Shampoo and Conditioner set. They did the job but they didn't work brilliantly for me. I didn't like the scent either.
Cruelty-Free: No
Repurchase: No 

Soap & Glory Face Soap & Clarity 
I found this face cleanser to be a bit drying for my skin type, so instead of using it every day I used it once a week. The cleanser contained pink beads and as a result it worked quite well as an exfoliator for me. I think this product would suit more of an oily skin tone.
Cruelty-Free: Yes
Repurchase: No 

Chanel No 5 Perfume Sample 
This is classic scent and one which I love. There's not really anything more I can say about it. I'm glad to be getting through a lot of these little perfume samples.
Cruelty-Free: No
Repurchase: No 

Trevor Sorbie Conditioner
I did not like this conditioner at all. I prefer rich moisturising conditioners. This was rather thin and runny in consistency and didn't do anything for my hair.
Cruelty-Free: No
Repurchase: No

organic surge fresh ocean light body lotion review

I am back with a review post of the Organic Surge Fresh Ocean Light Body Lotion.

The Claims
Fresh Ocean Light Body Lotion glides onto the skin and absorbs quickly for an instant burst of soothing rehydration. Aloe Vera combines with naturally nourishing shea and cocoa butters to condition the skin, while the refreshing blend of rosemary and citrus essential oils work to rebalance oils and dry skin areas. With its invigorating, natural fragrance and lightweight, non-greasy texture it makes skin feel soft, supple and rejuvenated.

The Reality
The Organic Surge Fresh Ocean Light Body Lotion absorbs into the skin well. It is light to medium in consistency but don't let that fool you because it leaves the skin feeling hydrated and moisturised. A little goes a long way and it leaves no greasiness.

I like that the lotion is free from SLS, parabens, synthetic fragrances and colourants. It is certified organic by ECOCERT, The product is also suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

The main thing I don't like about this body is lotion is that scent. When it comes to a body lotion I do prefer to use something that I love the scent off because its something I'm using all all over and the scent tends to linger. Although this particular scent isn't too my taste there are a few other body lotion options that I would like to try out.

The Ingredients
Aqua/Water, Aloe Barbadensis Extract*, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Glycerin, Isopropyl Myristate, Polyglyceryl-Dicitrate/Stearate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Butter*, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter*, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil*, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Oil*, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil*, Citrus Aurantium Bergamia (Bergamot) Fruit Oil*, Cymbopogon Martinii (Palmarosa) Oil*, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil*, Citrus Aurantifolia (Lime) Peel Oil*, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil*, Benzyl Alcohol, Dehydroacetic Acid, Sodium Phytate, Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate, Xanthan Gum, Citric Acid, Limonene, Geraniol, Linalool. *ingredient from organic farming. Naturally occurring within essential oils.

The Packaging

I always prefer packaging that you don't have to dip your fingers into as I think it is more hygienic. However the bottle packaging isn't ideal as you can't get all the product out, I think a squeezy tube would have been a better option.

The Price 

Organic Surge: £5.99

The Ultimate Question: Would I Repurchase?

Yes

The Overall Score: 4/5

Have you tried any of the Organic Surge Fresh Ocean Light Body Lotion? What are your thoughts?
