January empties/Project bathroom update

Time for another empties post! Can you believe it's now my 5th year of project bathroom? My beauty stash is still far too big, but at least these days, I've learnt not to make any unnecessary purchases and only ever have 1 or 2 products on the go at any one time. Here's what I've managed to use up this January:

Kate Moss sublime body lotion

Biotherm skin ergetic anti-fatique concentrate serum

Angela Langford balanced & beautiful face oil

James Brown volume boost shampoo

James Brown volume boost conditioner

 Back home in Birmingham, I also managed to finish:

Sk:n anti-ageing hand cream

Neutrogena visibly clear pink grapefruit cream wash

Niveo soft moisturiser

Batiste tropical dry shampoo

Pantene time renewal conditioner

In total, I've managed to use up 10 products this month which I'm really pleased about. As you know, Batiste is a bathroom staple for me, but otherwise I've yet to repurchase any of the other products. This is partly because I already have similar items in my collection, and partly because although I liked them, none of them were absolute must haves for me. 

I often find a fragrance can make or break a product for me, and that was certainly the case with the Nivea soft moisturiser and the Pantene conditioner. I liked the formulation of both products, but unfortunately the scent was just not for me. Conversely, the Biotherm serum had the most amazing fruity floral scent, and I'll definitely be repurchasing it as soon as I've finished my current stash of face serums.

How did you get on this month? What makes or breaks a product for you?
