I'll write about products left to right, top to bottom.
First is Prada Candy body lotion: I got this when I bought the Candy perfume set. It had been sitting on my self for a while until I started using it towards the end of last year. It smells pretty much like the perfume, sweet and caramel-y. It makes you smell really tasty. I found it to a little hydrating, but sometimes the smell would be too much for me.
Would I buy it: no.
Holika Holika Good Cera cream: This was a gift with purchase. I finished the jar a while ago and I liked it. It hydrates the skin fairly well with no irritation. It kind of smells a little citrus-y. I think Holika Holika reformulated this line so I'm not sure how this compares to that. Nice travel size.
Would I buy it: yes.
Supergoop! Forever Young Hand Cream Sea Buckthorn Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 40 PA+++ : I liked that there was SPF in it and it felt silky, but it did nothing for hydrating the hands.
Would I buy it?: no.
Kiehl's Ultimate Strength Hand Salve: When I put this on, I felt like my hands were covered in a film/mask of hydration. It smells herbal and it's slippery to touch things for a bit. More hydrating than the Supergoop, though.
Would I buy it?: maybe.
Caudalie Grape Water: This is a recommendation from Caroline Hirons. I thought it was ok. Nothing very hydrating about it, but it's useful for spraying on clay masks and after acid toning.
Would I buy it: no.
Kiehl's Creme de Corps: I kind of enjoyed this. It made my skin so soft. The downsides were the smell and the packaging because I could hardly get any of the lotion out.
Would I buy it: maybe (in a different container).
Pixi Rose Flash Balm: Really looking forward to this, It smells amazing, it's multi-use, great for travel. I just didn't like how it worked as a moisturizer. It didn't do anything for the dull skin I had. Even as a mask it was just meh.
Would I buy it?: no.
Youth to the People Superberry Hydrate + Glow Oil: This was ok. It was really lightweight and layered well. Smells nice, too. I think this would be better for someone with oily to normal skin. Also can be used in the day. It's not hydrating enough for me.
Would I buy it?: maybe.
Kate Somervile Goat Milk Moisturizing Cream: First off, this tiny tube lasted me over a month. I was only using it in the morning, but still. I liked this. It felt really light on the skin and would hydrate like no other. It has no scent, either.
Would I buy it: yes (if only it weren't so expensive).
I had so many empties for January! Do you ever save empty containers? Is this only a thing for skincare addicts? Let me know! I always like to keep track of things I finish.
