Finished (Empties): Nuxe Body Gel Douche Fondant, La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo, Caudalie Vinosource Moisturizing Sorbet, and Phyto 9

I love seeing reviews of products after people have finished them. It just gives a better picture of how the reviewer like them. Would they get it again? Or is it really not worth it?
I finished up a few things a while ago, so here's what I've been thinking about since they've gone away...



La Roche Posay Effaclar Duo (European formula) is raved on and on about in the beauty community. I have raved about this many a time, too. It's fantabulous. It keeps bacteria and clogged pores away, yet it isn't drying. I would repurchase this over and over. When I get back to France to study abroad winter semester, I'm going to stock up so hardcore on this baby (it's hard to find in Spain, and when I do, it's super expensive). 



The Caudalie Vinosource Moisturizing Sorbet is actually something I haven't heard too much about. I'm pretty surprised there isn't more of a hype around it. It's really good! It hydrates the skin without making it feel oily, and I love how it just sinks right in. As with most Caudalie products, it smells lovely and fresh, too. This was a sample size, and it lasted me a decent amount of time, as a bit goes a long way. I would definitely repurchase the full size in the summer to use at night, or in the winter to use in the day under sunscreen.


Another sample sized product (it came in a Nuxe set), the Nuxe Body Fondant Shower Gel really impressed me. A little bit gives you lots of moisturizing lather. I love the way it makes my skin feel. It does have an artificial vanilla-y smell though. I would get the full size only if I was feeling a bit in the spendy mood, as 8.50 euro is kind of expensive for a body wash.

I also finished up the Phyto 9. Quite honestly, it's not all that. It has a slimy texture, smells like burnt play-dough (use your imagination on that one, folks), and doesn't hydrate as well as it claims. Not to mention the metal tube crumples up and gets hard to use near the end (my tube even got holes in it). I have another one of these in the US because I got a pack of two, but when that runs out, you can trust I won't be repurchasing.

Tell me, what's something you'd repurchase over and over?
