Have you tried any eco friendly cleaning products?

Shopping my makeup stash...
We are currently redecorating our bedrooms so that means a major clear out. This has not only been thereputic but I've found lots of products I had forgotten about. Below are some of the makeup items I found in my stash:

Current skincare products...
- Simple age regeneration face wash - this is my favourite face wash as it doesn't dry my skin.
- Nip + Fab glycolic fox exfoliating facial pads - I only use these maybe twice a week and I really do see a difference in my skin when I've used them.
- Simple age regeneration night cream - I've been using this for probably a year now and I can't fault it.
- B.O.N natural oils liquid gold pure tissue oil* - Back in April I attended the Irish Bloggers Conference (link here) and received this in a goodie bag. I use this every night after I've cleansed my face and it just sinks into my skin and clears up my dry patches.
- Olay regenerist 3 point cleansing system - I've read mixed reviews about this as I think people were hoping it was exactly like the famous clarisonic system. I've never tried it but this olay system does leave my skin feeling smooth, I use it in conjunction with my simple face wash.
- Superdrug pore cleansing nose strips - these are my 'holy grail' drugstore nose strips, they are the only ones I've found that actually work and they are always on offer which is a bonus.
- The body shop pomegranate firming day lotion spf 15 - this is a lovely creamy consistency with a subtle scent.
- Botanics all bright radiance balm - this really does give your skin an amazing radiant glow and I will always repurchase this.
- The body shop vitamin c skin reviver sample - I was gifted lots of samples back in April when I was invited to The Body Shop store in Dublin to try out their brow bar (link here) and I'm slowly getting through them. All I can say so far is how much I love to use this in the morning as the smell makes you feel revitalised. Plus the product itself is great, I like to use a small drop of it below my makeup.
- Superdrug deep action anti-blemish gel -this is my all time favourite spot treatment as it really does shrink those horrible huge spots overnight.
- Maple Holistics vitamin c anti-ageing serum* - I was gifted this amazing product by Maple Holistics, I've only been using it for a week and so far I am very pleased with it. It leaves my skin feeling silky smooth and refined.
- Simple age regeneration eye cream - I always buy the Simple age regeneration products when they are on offer as they give my skin the right amount of moisture. I like this eye cream as it doesn't irritate my eye area which has happened with other products I've used.
- The body shop seaweed ionic clay mask - I only use this when my skin has broken out as this helps clear the spots by drawing them to the surface which means they clear up quicker.
Have you tried any of these products?

Collated empties #6
- Yes to grapefruit brightening facial wipes - I found these too harsh on my skin and left my face very red after use.
- Soap & Glory puffy eye attack gel - this left my eye area nice and moisturised, it's a gel like consistency however I didn't notice a huge difference in the 'puffiness' so I'm not sure if I would repurchase this.
- Simple age regeneration face wash - I always have this in backup as it is gentle on my skin and a little bit goes a long way.
- The body shop argan oil body cream (from xmas calendar) - I really enjoyed using this as it was a nice light-weight lotion but it had all the moisture packed into it.
- The body shop tea tree body wash - this is really refreshing however you need to moisturise afterwards as it can dry your skin.
- The body shop coconut body scrub - who doesn't love the smell of coconut? I only use a body scrub twice a month (probably should use it more) and this was perfect, left my skin feeling polished.
- The body shop shea butter body butter - this is probably my favourite Body Shop body butter, such a nice smell and it really does leave your skin super smooth.
- The body shop coconut body butter - to me the body shop butters are the best, this was my most used summer body butter.
- Simple age regeneration night cream - this is the second time I used this and it gives my skin the moisture it needs, I've read mixed reviews about this on blogs but it works for me.
- Collection concealer - this is always in beauty blogs as it is great at covering spots, however it can be drying.
- Maybelline baby lips - I'm finally throwing these out as they are probably the worst lip products I've ever used. However I read a blog once where the person didn't like them either but used them as blushers and highlighters so I might try this.
- Rimmel exaggerate lip liner in east end snob - I love this colour but there isn't much product in it therefore doesn't last very long:(
- Eyeko skinny liquid eyeliner pen in black - this went dry very quickly and didn't give as a defined line as I like so I wouldn't repurchase.
- MAC fix plus - this is another of my favourites, can anybody recommend a cheaper alternative?
- John Frieda frizz ease 3 day straight - I've had this in quite a few of my empties as it's a constant favourite, if you have frizzy hair this will be your best friend.
- The body shop vitamin E gentle facial wash - as the name suggests it is a really gentle face wash and great when I have dry skin as it's moisturising.
- Purederm age defying eye gel mask - these are super cheap and I actually think they make a difference, however I'm trying to switch to cruelty free products and not sure if these are.
