Empties

 Hello,

another batch of forgotten empties. I think I used up these in October... anyway I just found these photos and memories are still fresh so I decided to still use them.

I tried some samples from this professional L'oreal line and after some thought I purchased these two items even though I haven't had any samples from this cream line :)

Tube is absolut repair conditioner with slightly thicker texture which is nice in the shower so it grips the wet hair and coats them nicely. Bottle is shampoo with also a bit of a creamy coloring and they both had lovely creamy scent. The line is infused with proteins and gold quinoa specially for dry and damaged hair. My hair are getting more dry and then they break at the bottom so having thin hair and broken ends make me loose length easily. I loved the clean and creamy scent which was left in my hair plus they looked shinier and glossier (a bit of frizz control). I would get this duo again but there is also a mack available in the pot that I am thinking of.

First white tube is Oscar de la Renta Oscar body wash. This was a free gift and the scent was very heavy floral and somehow dry. Very intense and it was stuck up my nose. I did not enjoy it and was using it daily just to finish it up. I also receive the body lotion and next year I will gain enough courage to try it out but if the scent will give me the same response I will give it to my mom and I just hope she will like it. This one I washed away and the scent went into the drain but the scent from lotion will be stuck for longer.

In the summer I purchased set of Kenzo Homme Intense EDT and it came with two body wash tubes. I used up the first body wash and just like the EDT the scent is refreshing, slightly peppery and on a unisex side even though it is marked as a masculine fragrance. In the hot summer this scent is refreshing and slightly different from the rest. When the bottle of perfume is used up I will definitely get some more. I am also intrigued to try more of these 'bamboo' bottles.

First in line is Avene refreshing magnifying fluid which worked really well for my skin and this is already my second bottle. It was a light cream, it did look a bit shiny at first but after a minute or two it got absorbed and left my skin hydrated and matte looking. There were no breakouts, no burning or itching  and it did its job. I really liked it, my only minus is the packaging because I was not able to get everything out (I did turn it upside down and scoop it out but some of it still stayed in and I was not able to get it completely). 

Next is my holy grail Neutrogena oil free face moisturiser. Lightweight, it gets quickly absorbed and matte looking plus the most important is that it doesn't negatively impact my make-up. I already have at least three back-ups :)

I wanted to try some Origins items and decided to get this orange line. At the bottom is pot of Ginzing energizing gel cream with caffeine + niacinamide. I loved the orange gel texture (there is something about gel moisturisers that I love) it left my skin a little tacky but I liked that for nighttime but it sill get completely absorbed after 20 or 30 min. On top there is into the glow brightening serum with lighter texture than gel moisturiser and I loved to apply serum first and then gel. My skin really looked brighter and more even to me so I am trying to find a replacement in my already large collection but I will be getting this duo again, there is also eye cream that I am interested in. 

Essence used to have lovely lip oils so when I found these I give one a try. It is Essence hydra kiss in the shade Pink Champagne. All of them are two toned and mine had a bit of a shade and left a pink tint. On the lips is very glossy (a big plus from me) but it also didn't last long (like most of lip oils doesn't). My negative observation is that it didn't hydrate my lips over my daily activities. It does look pretty but unfortunately it did nothing for me but still I would like to try the first shade and the black one looks intriguing. 

The last is Catrice melt & shine juicy lip balm Beach Blossom that I already featured in my previous post. It is the click pen and here I used it up but I kept it to scoop the product out of the tube. There isn't that much product and scooping didn't make that much of a difference, I perhaps used it 5 or 6 more times until it was completely empty but it sure does look lovely because of the shine :) I really love my lip glosses and everything else that is shiny enough, gets my like but truth is, that it isn't very moisturising. Still I will probably get more of them :)

Thank you for reading and have a nice day
