Empties

 Hello,

for today I have prepared one part of my empties for the month, tomorrow I will have mostly make-up empties.

Big boy is Bioderma Atoderm intensive balm, this formula is supposed to be ultra-soothing and helps with itch. Last month I got extremely itchy skin on my back and I used this one but I feel like it didn't do much. My skin was still itchy, maybe a bit less (that is hard to judge) so I feel like it did not do much. I will not be getting another one of these plus the packaging is not my favorite. At the end I turned it upside down but not everything came out so I am throwing this bottle away with product still inside.

In the back is The Body Shop Juicy Pear body butter which I purchased one time in the Winter time. It smelled like a nice juicy pear and it was really nice, the texture was thicker but it is their butter so that was expected. I actually liked this one better than the Bioderma one. I think this scent was a limited edition and is no longer available. 

Up front is It's Skin Soak up helper serum which is for dehydrated and sensitive skin. I used it every evening under my moisturiser to help my skin get better. I like a little hyaluronic acid in my skincare routine and this one was nice, not too sticky.

There is one mini trial sized item, it is Anua Heartleaf pore control cleansing oil. It nicely removed my make-up without leaving greasy layer behind. I like that it did not strip my skin off and also that it did not make my eyes water.

Next is Malinca hair conditioner, which was given to me by my friend. It had a weird scent but I can get past it since it made my hair frizz free, super silky and soft. I think this one is one of my favorite conditioners but the price is a bit high. I guess it is worth it but I will be on a lookout for a sale.

In a blue and heavy bottle is Biotherm Life Plankton mild creamy peel. It feels like a moisturiser and then after rubbing it it starts peeling off. I did not notice any difference, my skin still felt a bit bumpy and there were no smoother skin. I feel like only the products rubbed off after rubbing it for a few seconds. 

Besides it there is Peter Thomas Roth Water Drenched Gel Cleanser. I didn't like it for make-up removing but I use it for my second wash. It was a bit goopey but it worked nicely to remove oil and remaining make-up but there are cheaper option out.

Last two items are Haruharu wonder items. One is Black Rice Hyaluronic Cream with this nice packaging.  I really like this packaging but it is not practical. The plastic it a bit too hard to squeeze it out so I had it turned upside down but the cream is not that runny. I think there is still product inside but I just can't get to it. The cream itself was nice, it did not leave extra glow, it quickly absorbed and moisturise my skin in the evening and also in the morning. If they would released it in a different packaging I would get it again.

Last item is another Haruharu wonder Black Rice Hyaluronic product but in the bottle is toner. It is water for the face. after washing it I applyed a few drops every morning and evening. I did not notice any drastic change in my skin but I started to use less lotion/creams on top of it since I did not wait to fully dry. That was a nice touch and maybe because of less cream my make-up also wasn't sliding off as much. I am starting ti like toners more and more.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Empties

 Hello,

this end of the month really creeped on me. March came and went by way too fast for me.

First I have Taft heat protection hair spray. It had a nice sprayer but I don't have any special feelings about it. I never know if a heat protection works, I just try to use it every time I use heat to at least pretend I care for my hair. I liked this one but I still have a few others that I need to use up first before going shopping.

Next is Too cool for school Egg Remedy Hair Pack hair mask and it is really nice. It is rather thicker paste and because of it it grips on the hair and deeply conditions them. It has beautiful warm and floral scent. The best were the results, my hair were silky and smooth after using it and now I can't find it anymore :( I would buy ten more if I could, my hair love it and the scent lingered through the next day.

Then there is Korres French Lilac body lotion. It is a bit thicker than the rest from the line and the scent is realistic and super strong. I had a few of their lotions before and scents were only meh, but this one is gorgeous and longlasting. I would get this one again.

In the morning I used Chloe Nomad body lotion all over (on top I would spray the matching perfume). This has a beautiful scent and I liked it even better than the perfume. There is juicy Mirabelle scent with Oakmoss and some woody notes. Very likeable and fresh for the Spring. I would get it again, perhaps next year.

In the back there is Avon anew purifying jelly cleanser with charcoal extract. I expected this one to be black in color but it was clear gel. It didn't foam much but I felt like it did their job without stripping my skin. I still have a bunch of face washes that I need to use up but this one wasn't bad at all.

Green bottle is Nuxe Marine Seaweed skin correcting moisturising fluid for oily skin. It has heavenly honey scent but the texture is a bit weird. It just sits on top of my skin at first. It creates white lotion streaks but after 10 min it starts absorbing and creating matte effect on the skin. I like it the most for the scent, but those streaks bother me and I will not be buying it again.

Last bottle with blue label is It's Skin Firefighter enriched with Licorice root extract to help soothe, evening out the skin tone and brightening. I liked using it because of its light texture but I have not noticed any big difference in my skin tone so probably I will not be buying it again.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Empties

 Hello,

below I have a small batch of empties but they are just for the first half of May, second half will be fuller.

Tall bottle throwing the balance of the line is Batiste Floral dry shampoo. I still like them a lot and rarely buy from other brands just because these are so nice. It is slightly white but if I am careful it is okay. Lovely scent of a non descriptive floral scent but I will get it again.

Next is It's skin power 10 formula VC effector with vitamin C. I really liked this serum, the texture was just right and the bottle lasted me a long time. I like vitamin C products since I still have some acne scars and they disappear faster with use and this one did a nice job. I would get it again.

While purchasing some of their products (mostly body moisturisers) I have also received this mini Korres Greek Yoghurt nourishing probiotic gel cream for calming and hydrating my skin. I liked the light texture (I am a sucker for gel textures) but sometimes it was too 'light' for me, I would follow with some oil on top. I probably won't be buying it, because there are other ones with similar texture that I have tried and work for me better.

In the middle there is oil from Milnica and it is Castor oil. I used it mainly for my hair to promote hair growth but I haven't noticed any big changes, I still prefer Great Burdock for my hair. This one is also very thick and greasy. I need to check if there is another bottle of Castor oil in my 'collection' to use it up and then I probably I won't be buying it again.

I have finished up another Avon advance technique supreme oils hair oil. I absolutely love these, no matter which option I get I love them all or maybe I should say that my hair loves them. I like to use them on still damp hair after washing and it smooths them and makes them silkier and shinier. Right now I am using oil from a different brand but I don't like it as much. These are not as greasy, one pump for the ends of my still slightly wet hair and no oilyness in sight. 

Last but not least is one of my favorite scents at the moment. It is a travel option of Lancôme La vie est Belle Oui perfume. I already purchased big size (hello sparkly bottle) and later received this one as a gift with purchase. This size is nice to just put it in my purse and refresh while on the go even though this one lasted on me almost whole day (usually I use three sprays) mostly I would use it if I forgot to use perfume at home. Because this is so long lasting on me it also lasted me a long time, thankfully I still have almost full 100 ml bottle.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day
