Empties

 Hello,

another quick post of my empties in a row. Lately I just haven't been feeling like posting and also I don't take the time to do it like I used to do. I did accumulated some new items that might be interesting so maybe in the future I will post more... we will see.

I purchased a pack of Ziaja Olive oil products because it was a really good deal and this face moisturizer was part of it. It is Ziaja face cream with Olive oil for dry - normal skin type. I'm combination to oily but some extra hydration never hurt my skin. At first I really liked it because my skin was in need for some moisture but then the super thick formula started to annoy me. It is very greasy and it doesn't absorb completely into my skin, I only used it at night because it would be impossible to apply make-up on top of it. I'm ok that I tried it but I won't repurchase it, I since found lighter textures which are just as mosturizing and works better for my skin type.

I remember I had Fenjal deodorant before and I really like it so when I saw this one I just knew we will work well together. It is sensitive deo pump spray option, in general I don't like to spray my deodorant but I bough this one to take it with me on a vacation (I think I used it on my last three holidays and spray works well with retouching and keeping deodorant sanitary). Now I finished it all up because it was getting old and I had noting else. It has this lovely clean scent which makes me feel refreshed but it also doesn't interfere with my perfume. I still sweat through it (it is not anti-perspirant) but I am not stinky and that is all I care about it. I will buy it again, in a spray bottle for my vacation (just to mention that the bottle is made of a heavy glass) and in a 'regular' roll-on version for  my every day adventures.

Last are two hand creams, first is Avon care revitalising hand cream with Banana. This is one of my favorites and this particular tube is just in a limited edition packaging. The formula is light, easy to spread and absorb. My hands are left soft and nourished. I already have a few backups ;)

The second one is the first of its kind  and it is Avon care nurturing with glycerine &Almond oil hand cream. I also really liked this one. Formula vise it felt very similar to the Banana one minus the scent. I kept this one at work and my coworkers also liked it. This one gets thumps up from multiple people and I will get it again.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Empties

 Hello,

for today I have prepared short and quick review of only three products.

The first one is Nature Box Apricot oil infused shampoo for silky soft hair. I don't quite know what I expected from it because my hair is naturally pretty soft... I guess I purchased it because of the gorgeous and very realistic apricot scent. The texture is very liquid so sometimes I spilled a bit but since I wasn't too keen on the shampoo I didn't care. I feel like it made my hair heavier, I always had a feeling like I didn't rinse it out completely and the products was left in my hair and made them greasy faster. The scent was nice but I didn't care for the formula so I won't repurchase it, maybe I will get some body lotions...

Next is The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% and Zinc 1% serum which made a huge difference for the better on my skin. It is supposed to make pores smaller and reduce the sebum production, I can't say I notice a big difference in the sizes off my pores and sebum production. I have oily skin and it will stay like that for quite a while but I did noticed my pores being more clean and having less breakouts, even when a breakout appeared (my skin is lactose intolerant and too much lactose can cause it to flare up and mask rubbing against sensitive skin also don't help) my acne scars fade much faster (within 2-3 weeks opposed to 2-3 months), my skin texture and shade improved. Now my skin is much more even in tone and majority of the difference was made because of this serum. Unfortunately this serum isn't available at the moment and I can't get my hands on it so I purchased some other Niacinamide serums and I will see if they perform just as good as this one.

The very last item is Victoria's Secret body lotion in Bare Vanilla scent. I bought it online so I couldn't smell it prior. It was very heavy vanilla scent with a bit of plasticky note. Sometimes the plastic scent was stronger and sometimes was barely noticeable. I managed to finish it up but I won't be buying it again. The formula also wasn't the best because after a few weeks of using it my back started to itch which is a sign that my skin is dry and dehydrated. I probably won't buy any more Victoria's Secret lotions in the future unless I came across a really wonderful scent.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day
