Empties - Used but would I repurchase?

I have promised myself to use ALL the things I buy. I have learnt to be less frivolous with my pennies in the last few years but the old shopaholic in me rises her sale hunting head at times. I find myself buying hair stuff to try or on a whim when they are not strictly necessary or I don't really think about them and they are not for me. Either way my stock pile increases and I don't use the stuff.
I am soooo glad to see empties as it means I am keeping my promise.

Here are my empties, I'll try to keep it short with a quick sentence or two as to whether or not I'd repurchase and why. I'll do reviews at a later date as it will remind me later on whether or not to buy something when my shopaholic self visits.

Kanechom Karite Butter Hair Moisturising Cream
Did I like it?
I cannot express how much I love this Brazilian condish enough and have gone through 4 or 5 tubs the size in the pic. Its called a hair cream but it's a rinse out conditioner which can also be used as a deep condish (or bath as they call it on the jar) I have problems finding the Karite "flavour" of Kanechom hair mask and have been to many Hair Shops searching for them, I find so many of the other ones which is good and bad - good as I get to try others but bad cos I spend lololol. When I do find them I stock up with at least 3 tubs.
This was introduced to my hair regime from early on and has become a staple... nah more than a staple. I use it in a deep condish mix.
Would I repurchase?
Yessssss and have done lol. Thankfully I found a 1k tub whooooop.



Optima Organic Raw Virgin Coconut Oil
 Did I like it?
Did I?? Yep!!  The difference between organic raw virgin CO and the refined/non virgin kind is like cat and dog...chalk and cheese.... ok I'm being extra now *eye roll* but yea, and optima is my fave brand. Chapter... 
Would I repurchase?
Yessss been through another jar since and had to buy a different brand of RVCO, when that one finished I had to buy a non virgin coconut oil(Vatika Enriched) as I don't have spare pennies..... saving up to get my beloved Optima lololol



Herbal Essence Hello Hydration Mask
Did I like it?
This was a let down, I expected it to be a creamy, thick, deep but it just feels like the normal HH condish (which I love and have been through 2) but not as thick. I really didn't love it so used it up by mixing it in my pre-poo and on eldest boys hair condish mix
Would I repurchase?
In a word NO!



Ojon Reconstructive Cleansing Treatment 
Did I like it?
The first Pre-poo I used when I started my HHJ, I actually got this way before my HHJ as part of an Ojon TSV bundle. I didn't even know the real benefits of pre-poo and I deffo didn't use it every wash. But when I got into my regime... whoooo. I loved it! It really made my hair feel strong and soft at the same time. I really do feel that this was a major part in my hair's health renewal.
Would I repurchase?
I soooo would but it looks like it's been discontinued gahhhhh they have a thicker version but I didn't like the look of it in the demo, I like my pre-poo/ pre-poo mix to be quite thin. I really miss it but at least I found Elasticizer.




Aspal Organic Cyder Vinegar.
Did I like it?
I love this brand of  ACV and use it my ACVrinse and in cleaning solutions. It is crisp and not too fuzzy smelling.
Would I repurchase?
I would but this again but wanted to try the Bragg version as I heard good things about it and it had more of the mother thingy in it. I do like it alot so will prob get that one. As I have to order Bragg online I would get Aspals if I needed ACV right away.



Curly Kids Curly Creme Conditioner
Did I like it?
Funnily enough this is actually a hair moisturiser, not a rinse out conditioner..... but I digress ... it's fantastic!! When my hair went through it's rebellious 5 month stage this moisturiser "gave it life" did I just say that? been watching toooo many vids but Seriously, my hair was dry and unresponsive and wouldn't style right, I went on the look about for something that was heavier than what I was using but not greasy like an oil moisturiser.... it was fabbb!! and it has no parabens, and alot less yuckies than the others. I cant stop going on and I use it on the boys hair too. My youngest hair loves it and I love to use it as it isn't harsh and yuck free.
Would I repurchase?
Yep, on my second tub but haven't been using it for a while as my hair has been asking for something else(my hair is such a dive!! *sigh*)



Organix Macadamia Oil Intensive Moisture Mask
Did I like it?
I gave this deep condish a try a while back and it had become a staple to add in my DCmix. I love it, rich, creamy and smooth and makes my hair soft and nourished. I love macadamia oil and before adding the actual oil to my collection I wanted to get a condish with it in and was looking for an alternative to the really expensive macadamia brand. It's great. I love everything about it and it has organic stuff in it... and no yuckies whooooop. It's great by itself too which is a bonus.
Would I repurchase?
Yessss and have done.



Herbal Essences Beautiful Ends Split End Protection Cream
Did I like it?
I tried this early on in my HHJ when my hair was relaxed. it was FABBBB, it's light but nourishes and gives shine and made my hair floaty. I try to get it when its on offer as it can be pricey and as my hair had more regrowth I needed to use more of it in one sitting. I came across it in poundworld and stocked up but it soon disappeared from the store when people found it lololol I have one more bottle left in my stash. As my hair got naughty I stopped using it but when I straightened with my GHD's I reached for it again, lovely! I don't use it much at the moment but when my hair feels like it needs very light moisture in the day time it works great.
Would I repurchase?
Was you not listening?? lolol joke... yep and have done.



Naat Silicon Moisturizing Hair Mask
Did I like it?
I first picked this up on a whim last year when I heard about the silicon mix hype and couldn't get SM in the shops and didn't want to pay big delivery charges from US. I saw this in one of the many shops I had searched for SM in and it just jumped at me so I tried it and added it to a mix with kenechom.... ahhhhhh wonderful!! then I added the Organix Mac to the mix and whooop my DCmix was born and I used it for months up until my Dominican Condish fetish experiment started. 
I dont really like the Naat Silicon by itself as it isn't as thick as I like my DC to be.
Would I repurchase?
Yes and have done but it has taken a backseat while I use Silicon Mix Bamboo (sneak peak... Dominican Hair Product Haul Post coming up)



Organic Root Stimulator Olive Oil Edge Control
Did I like it?
This is part of my Edge control/tamer addiction collection and it's fantastic!! holds my hair slick in a bun, ponytail and double puff, smooth for updos and sleek in flat twists and canerow. Oh how I love it, let me count the way... ok that was slightly geeky but I really do, love. IT. It was first edge control and was my go to It was great for when I had my quick weave/upart but I got curious... and went for a different tamer, and another... and, well, you get the idea but yea I used others. And then my hair didnt like any of them, so I used gel and whatever tamer I felt like. Then my ORS control finished and I used the other lot. I picked one up in my weekly shop at Tesco and then lost it so I didnt want to buy another one so just got by..... I thought my others were very good... then in one of my declutter hoarding pile removal efforts I found it!! yayyyy then last week I used it and whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!! I fell in love alllll over again! You know when you think somethings good, then you use something you used to and feel like what had I been thinking?! yes, I love it.

Hnmmmmm this really is turnuing into a faves post but alot of the stuff I used up are Bumb!!
Would I repurchase?
yes, yes,YesSSSS and I have 
and will again.



L'occitane Sweet Almond Liquid Soap
Did I like it?
I love L'occitane products. I used to snap up every L'occitane TSV bundles that came around and this came in one of those bundles. Its a lovely liquid soap, moisturising not drying like some can be, but I love the she butter milk scent better than this one. I love that the boys can use this as it's gentle enough but they dont reach for it all the time as they think of it as mummy's special soap. They do use it out when they're in one of their cheeky adventurous episodes but not as an everyday thing (I do go on) 
Would I repurchase?
Probably not for now as am budgeting at the moment and L'occitane prices  are not part of it, besides I still have some of the others in my stash. If I did splurge it would be on a different variety.


 
Christian Breton Longueur Intensite' Eyelash Builder
Did I like it?
Oh my!! I found this in TKMaxx last year, it came with a sample size of moisturiser and eye make up remover - and gave it a try as my eyelashes had gotten short and thin, along with my hair. I used it every night (may have forgotten a few nights) and I saw a difference after about two weeks. When it finished I didn't repurchase right away and it wasn't until about a month after I was looking at a mascarra I had tried and not liked and put it on to give it another try.... My eyelases looked long and thick.... I put it down to just another case of a product second chancer. Then I took a pic of my protective style and make up play where I had forgotten mascarra and my eyelashes looked thick..... then the penny dropped.... The lash Builder!! When I saw it again on another TKMaxx trip (this time at the galeria) I snapped it up!
Would I repurchase?
Yes, and have done. I wouldn't buy it at the RRP though as it's a bit pricey for me. TKMaxx price is just about doable as it lasts quite long and I've seen the great results.



Cussons Mum and Me Emollient Body Cream
Did I like it?
 I love using baby products as I have very sensitive skin and find many products bring on a reaction of some kind. I saw this on offer and picked it up to use on Kuppie and myself. Its a rich cream and sinks in well. It's gentle enough to use on the face and has a lovely light lavender smell.
Would I repurchase?
Havent repurchased as have other creams I use but if I felt the urge to get it I would only do so if it was on offer but wouldn't pay the £5+ RRP for it as I dont think it warrants the price at all.  



Argan Oil Cleansing Wipes
Did I like it?
I make no appologies for having a not so secret crush on make up/cleanser wipes. I need to have a pack at all times and cant stand to have one finish before I have any back ups!! I like to try different ones but tend to stay with sensitive/non fragarance type I cannot be dealing with a red blotchy reactive face at best or horrid rash at worse. I saw these in poundworld and decided to give them a try as I love the condish and oil from the same brand. These had a strong smell and maybe the marketing team got me but they do feel like they have oil in them. *side glance*  The pack looks like Chocolate and both Kuppie and Adj thought I had some treats whenever I took them out at night lol. The wipes are good and get make up well. 
Would I repurchase?
Yep for £1 they are better than some more expensive ones. When my current pack gets low I'll get these again... or maybe the very next time I go poundworld... Im due a trip as I want to get a couple more aloe vera gesl and cooling sprays I saw in there before they all finish.



Garnier Skin Naturals Soft Essentials 24hr Nourishing Day Cream  
Did I like it?  
Oh my!! This is one of the best face creams I've tried. Its enriched wirh rose water and has a really fresh subtle smell. Oh and it feels like putting whipped cream on my face. It's smooth and very moisturising and makes me smile inside... and outside, truth be told I know it says day cream but I used it as part of my night routine also. When it finished I was gutted as it was lovely and I had a different moisturiser to use. Welllll the stupid moisturiser I picked up on sale was terrible, my face felt like it was on fire and I had to actuattly wash my face after using it. Thank God I had purchased a soothing face mask earlier that day, I slathered it on my face and it soothed... cha!! Thats waht I get for being cheap!! And I got an eye cream by the same brand but I aint using it no sirree cant risk that reaction under my eyes!!
Soooooo I ordered my beloved Garnier with a free heart.
Would I repurchase?
Oh yes, yes, yesssss and have done. I keep looking out for it to be on offer as my current pot is soon gonna be finished.





Christian  Breton De Luxe Radiance Gold Cream
Did I like it?
Ahhhh luxtury skin care at it's finest. This was a sample that came with the Lash Builder and oh it was delish!! It was a treat to my face. It has Caviar and Colloidal Gold don't you know lololol yes seriously!! It is without a doubt WONDERFUL. I loved the feel of the cream and it sunk into my skin like no ones buisness. ooooo yes miss, it was fab. I tried to strectch out the uses of this as it was delectible and I knew it was just a sample size.
Would I repurchase?
Goodness knows I'd love to but at around £84 for the proper size.... It is not possible. If TKMaxx had it for a good price then maybe but if money was no object, yes all day long I'd get it quick smart.



Soooooo that was my empties haaaaaaa what a Loooong post.
