Empties

 Hello,

this is the second part of my empties, more skin and hair care items.

First big boy is Ziaja Silk shower gel in 500 ml bottle. It had creamy scent and wasn't super liquid. I like that shower gels are a bit thicker so they don't just run in my shower. I liked the scent, my favorite is still Bubble Cola scent. It lasted me for a long time and I would get it again.

Next is the whole pink line from Schwarzkopf Gliss split ends miracle line. First is shampoo, then conditioner and lastly shine booster. I liked this line, I think no rinse serum was my favorite from the trio but I have other products that work even better so probably I will not repurchase them again. I have to admit that the scent on these is gorgeous and I might pick some again just for it. My hair are quite damaged since I let them grow out from a super short bob to my waist and regular cuts were not in my plan :) At the moment I am using some other products which help my hair look amazing so that is what I am comparing and my current routine fits my hair better but this line smells better.

Lastly there are L'occitane Neroli & Orchid body wash and body moisturiser duo. This scent was magical and since my sister knew she got them for me for holiday. Only now I was able to use them up, I still have the hand cream. This sweet cream and floral scent is one of my favorites from them but as far as I know they don't make this line anymore. I know they discontinued them before and brought them back... I hope they will repeat that :)

Next duo is from Atelier Cologne. They are both in the same Bohemian Orange Blossom scent, first is the lotion and second is Cologne Absolue (I think it is supposed to be slightly stronger version of cologne which isn't super strong). Scent was beautiful, sweet orange blossom but still fresh and very summer like. I prefered the scent in the lotion format since it was sweeter but probably I will not but these products again. Lotion is expensive and the cologne had poor longevity.

Third is Benton Snail Bee High Content Essence for hydration, soothing and clear skin. I liked this thicker gel formula. I used it under my moisturisers sometimes in this extreme heat this was the only one I used before bed time and it felt enough. I was scared that it would sting but there were no irritations, I like it enough to probably repurchase it.

Big white tube is Missha Super Aqua Cell Reneval Snail cleansing foam. It was very creamy and it did not strip my skin while still removed my make-up residue mixed with cleansing balm. I find it very nice for gentle cleansing my face, I would get it again but at the moment I am swarmed with face washes.

I used up another serum, this one is from Beauty Glam and it is their 2% Salicylic acid serum. I love using this ingredient for pore cleansing. This serum has just the right consistency, it is easy to find in store and it is inexpensive, I believe I already have another bottle somewhere.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Empties

 Hello,

this is the second part of my empties for the month of May. This whole month went by so fast, it feels like I only blinked and it was gone.

I used up my first Maybelline Lifter gloss in Moon (I already have a backup). This slight pinky base with tons of shimmers is beautiful. It looks great on its own or layered. Scent is caramel like and very enjoyable. I am glad that I have a backup since I am not out of love with it.

Next is mini 2aN Glaze Bouncing Tint in the shade Peach Ade. Received it as a gift with purchase and I immediately fell in love with it. I love the glossy tin, even tint and the exact shade. I am thinking of getting the same one in full size again because it is that good.

Green bottle is Alexandre J. The Majestic Vetiver perfume. I have all six versions and after purchasing them I did not love them except for the red one and now every one that I touch I like. Most of them are very dry wood and then they added something special to the mix. This one is woody and there is vetiver not super fresh but also not completely dry, something in the middle and I really like it. On most days I layer it with something fruity or fresh. 

Next is another mini, this one is Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun Aqua-fresh Rice +B5, SPF 50+ PA++++. That was a super long name :) I already have three SPF lotions for face that work for me and I just found another one. This one has a semi liquid formula and it absorbs quickly, I love that there is no greasy finish or white cast, i also haven't experience any breakouts so I think it is safe to say that this one just joined my beloved SPF creams. After I finish the one I am using at the moment I am getting big size of this one. 

Second to last is Nude by Nature translucent loose finishing powder in the shade 01 Natural. At first I was using it as a fixing powder and it did not work, I got so greasy that it was not even funny. I just couldn't believe that it is fixing powder I flipped it and discovered that it is finishing powder... I was using it wrong for a few days :) Then when I discovered what it actually is I just did not see any point of using it. It made no difference so thankfully it is mini and it was quickly gone.

Lastly there is one of my old favorite fixing powders from Catrice. It is their all matt plus powder in Transparent. I am throwing it away because around two years ago I was using it to fix my make-up during my work, then I started using something better in the morning and I did not need to touch up so this one was just sitting there in the locker... now it is super old and I don't dare to use it, I imagine it is fully infested with all kinds of nasty. I am throwing it away but this one was a nice powder, it kept my oils at bay for hours, towards the end of my work day some came out to play but not much.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Empties

 Hello,

this is the second part of my March empties, this pack is made of smaller items but I am still glad t muve them in the recycling bin.

Let start with a Catrice Gel like top coat. It had a nice consistency and created very shiny, glossy top coat over my nail polishes. I liked this one but there are others which I find just as good as this one.

Second is Kneipp Apricot & Marula lip balm. I had high hopes for it but it felt short. The scent is sweet and nice but the texture is hard and after a few minutes (after it warms up on my lips) it gets sticky, it felt like I applied glue on my lips and I decided that it is just not worth it. Mine isn't completely finished but I don't care, I don't like it enough to finish it.

First gloss is Catrice from My Jewels, My Rules collection in the option Apricot Crush. It had light apricot base with shimmers but the color did not translate onto the lips. It had weird soapy scent. It was okay but nothing worthy of repurchasing for me.

Next is my bellowed Catrice lip gloss obsessed in Same gloss, different day shade. Pale pinky nude shade and with the most gorgeous gourmand scent. On the lips shade wasn't obvious but the feeling was exquisite and I loved that. It doesn't hold much product but it also doesn't cost much so I can see myself repurchasing it in the near future.

Pink bottle is Nyx #this is everything lip oil. It was clear lip oil with no scent and with a thin formula. If I applied too much it started dripping down my chin, if I applied regular amount then it was gone after a few minutes (from 10 to 15 min) and that resulted in me constantly reapplying it and this 8 ml bottle was soon finished. I will not be buying it again because this did nothing for hydration and my lips quickly dried up.

This mini Clarins Wonder Volume XXL mascara made clumps and I don't love that. At first it was okay but the longer I had it opened the more obvious it would get, to top that off it dropped my curl and then my lashes looked sad and straight. I had nicer mascaras or maybe more suited for my stubborn lashes, so I will not be buying big size.

Last bottle is Lancome Idole EDP. I love this scent and I have already used up one 25 ml bottle (I still have a large one left :). This is just a mini but the gorgeous fresh and sweet Rose scent lingers all day long and it just makes me happy :) Ten out of ten scent for me.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Empties

 Hello,

my last empties for this year and it is a handful. I always like to finish as many product as possible to start fresh in new year.

I used up another Catrice ultra last fixing spray. This one is my favorite and I fear the day they replace it with something new. So far it is the cheapest and best for me to date. It keeps my make-up in place and holds back my natural oils.

Next is Revox 5% Hyaluronic acid serum. A very nice, thicker texture for adding/bonding the moisture. I always like to keep something with Hyaluronic acid around my skin care and would get it again.

Little guy is Alverde Rose oil which I have been using for years but in the last few years I stopped using it. I used to love it since it calm down my redness but now I feel like my face don't get as red as used to so now I have not noticed as much of improvement since I don't have the same skin issues. I think I will not be buying it again because my skin just does not need it.

Big pink tube is Bloom & Blossom hand cream. In the past I had a little version and I liked it a lot so I decided to get the big one and I had this tube unopened for a few years and I wonder if it went bad. The scent in the little one was fresh citrusy, here it was a bit different. I still used it but it was quite greassy, I remember the first tube had thiner consistency 

Another product from my past is this Alkmene tea tree face wash. I used to have super oily skin with a lot of acne and tea tree helped me. Now my oils are better controlled and rarely get any acne so I just used it up and probably will not be getting it again.

Bottle next to extremely large one is Subrina Moroccan treasure body wash. It has a clean and relaxing scent. It does not smell of spices but rater like see with warm air. I really like this one and I am sad that it is all used up. It was a gift and probably I will not be getting it again because this one is not the cheapest, but the scent might be worth it :) Next time I will be in the store I will check if it is perhaps on sale and maybe get it then.

And the big boy is Afrodita Hemp shampoo for hair strengthening. It had a nice refreshing scent, thicker texture and my hair afterwards were super clean but not dry like straw. I think it cleansed them of all excess oils and remaining products and it was a nice clarifying shampoo. Usually I used it for my firsh shampooing and for the second one I used something else, following with some conditioner or a mask. I would get it again.

I finally used up another bottle of perfume and it is one of my favorites, Versace Crystal Noir EDT in a cute 30 ml bottle. I love the warm and spicy scent of it and the bottle is the cutest. I still have another larger bottle of it and also a EDP which smells the same to me.

I used up Catrice Glossing Glow nail varnish with a striking pink tint to mask the yellow from my nails. I really liked this one since it not only hide the yellow tint but it also gave my nails a slight pink tint. Very nice, easy to apply and would get it agin but I can't find it. Is it discontinued?

Big round pot is Avon planet spa from their Energise Ritual line with Chinese green tea extract body butter. The butter itself was a bit thick but the relaxing and cosy scent was magical, I would get it again.

In front there is Rimmel lasting provocalips duo in Come up Roses. This includes very drying liquid lipstick on one side and nicely hydrating lip balm on the other. The color of the lid is supposed to match with the color but this shade is much darker on the lips than shown here. I did not care about the liquid lipstick part but I did used up the clear lip balm. It was very shiny and nourishing. If Rimmel will ever release it on its own I would get it in a heart beat.

On the first swatch is polka dot Apivita Pomegranate lip balm. This one is waxy and stiff but the color payoff is nice. I noticed that it is not the most hydrating balm but the emphasis is on the color. Mine is a bright pink and it was nice but I would get the dark plum one (I think it is Currant and brown in Chestnut). Again, I would not get these for nourishing properties but for the color alone, for me this is like a lipstick. I care about the color and that is it.

Next are already discontinued Mac glow play tinted balms in Sweet Treat and Floral Coral. Sweet Treat was a bit too pale on me but after around 15 min it settled and it was fine, Brighter coral one was my favorite and I liked the added brightness. When applied they were very glossy but the shine went away a little too fast for my liking and there were no moisturising properties. I still have one shade left and after that I will not be missing them.

I used up both Avon power stay liquid stains in Stay Naked (bright peach) and She's a Natural (poop kind a color :) I liked the formula on these. They applied like pigmented gloss, then it started to dry, the pigment deepened and settled but then the shine came back and it looked glossy. I really like that progression and first shade. I will probably get it again and I am also thinking about the pink shade.

Burt's Bees lip shimmer with peppermint oil in Peony option. It is swatched last and it has a very strong peppermint scent to it, pink shade and it is packed with shimmer. At first it looks nice but after 10 min it dries and I am left with dry shimmer and I don't like that. It is not actually finished but I am still throwing it away because I don't like how it looks on me and strong minty scent is also not doing it for me.

Last mini is Clarins lip comfort oil in Pitaya. It smelled very nice and it was juicy on the lips, whoever the shine did not last but it did leave a stain which was bright pink. Not my favorite color but I loved the scent and glossines. I will probably not be getting more unless they are included in some sets or free gifts with purchases.

Hopefully I will continue using up products in the next year and only buy the bare minimum so my extensive collection of items will get reduced.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Empties

 Hello,

end of the month is here and below are my empties for the month of November.

First is Etude baking powder B.B. deep cleansing foam with little granules (hence the name baking powder). I used it as a light mechanical scrub but I avoided my eyes so for me this wasn't perfect for removing BB cream but as a scrub it was okay. I am trying to avoid mechanical scrubs but sometimes it feel so good that I can't help it but then I prefer something stronger.

Next is Korres Santorini Grape body moisturiser. I adore everything grape scented and I grabbed this lotion pretty quickly but when I tried it out I was a bit disappointed since the scent is light and more floral than juicy grape. Still nice but not what I expected. The lotion itself was nice but I got it for the scent which wasn't there.

Next I used up also this The Body Shop Shea lotion. This one didn't disappointed with the scent and it was rich, slightly masculine but exactly my taste. Lotion absorbed quickly and I was able to go through a bit faster than normal but the scent was so gorgeous that I don't hold a grudge. I would get it again.

Little orange tube is another one of my beloved Neutrogena oil free face moisturisers. I love the light texture which always nourish my skin no matter how dry it is, it stays put under make-up and does not make be oily. I will forever repurchase it.

When I saw this CeraVe resurfacing retinol serum I knew I will try it. It has a very light, gel like texture and absorbed quickly into my skin and often I would put a heavier cream on top to provide some more hydration but this was a nice retinol and I would get it again.

Last bottle here is Revox hyaluronic acid serum with a convenient pipette. Texture is gel which absorbs quickly into my skin and it is ready to top it off with something locking all that moisture in. The price is low and I like that, I would get it again (I probably already have a backup somewhere).

I have another Korres product and this time it is in this beautiful orange bottle. It is White tea perfume and the name tells you the scent. It was very calming but light plus it disappears quickly. I used up this bottle up in a matter of a few months which is quick for me.

I used up my second NYX fat oil lip drip and this one is Missed Call. It is super similar to Supermodel except it is more pigmented and has no shimmer which isn't even noticeable. I preffered Supermodel but this one was also usable if I was careful not to apply too much at once. I liked these enough to use them up but I don't see myself buying more unless if there will be a shade I will be interested in.

White tube is Dr. Paw Paw shimmery balm. Particles were big and sparkly but also a bit rough on the lips. I don't love it when I rub my lips together and they scrape my lips. I used it at night so the particles wouldn't bother me and I woke up with glitter all over my face. I was glad once it was gone and I am more excited to try the original formula without shimmers.

Second to last is my beloved Crazy Rumours Leaping Bunny Plum and Apricot lip balm. This is my third lip balm from the brand and my love is still going strong. Formula is great for me and light scents are so good. This mix of plum and apricot felt so good together and refreshing. I already have a new option prepared to go next and I hope it will be just as good.

Last but not least is Blistex original lip balm. I still like this classic. The formula is soft, scent light and nourishing properties are there. I don't have a backup since I am trying to got through my extensive stash but I can see myself buying it again.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Empties

 Hello,

below are my monthly empties, this time right on time :)

First pot is Pantene hair biology full & vibrant hair mask and the scent is very nice (it also stays and lingers the next day). I like the texture which is thick and it stays put for a while I am showering and shaving. It does give me some hydration but I felt like I had to use a little more (in my head I am comparing it with the blue set that I had used up previously). I liked the mask but the blue one was better for me.

Next is the matching shampoo from Pantene hair biology full & vibrant shampoo. It has the same lovely scent and the texture is not too liquid to run down my fingers. I noticed that after I dry my hair or the very next day my hair just don't look like they used to. They look like I am on my second or third day already... I feel like it didn't properly cleaned my hair so I will not be buying this shampoo again. The mask was nice but overall the blue set worked better for me and I will get it again over this pink one.

I purchased some Moroccanoil products and I have received this intense hydrating mask for free. It has their signature scent which I liked a lot and I was using it along with the pink set but also with another cleansing shampoo which is not yet finished and it gave me a nice kick of hydration. I am not so sure about this one. It worked but I don't think it was super spectacular. 

Second to last is Avon care avocado replenishing body wash and I had to count (I checked my blog history to find out) to see that this one is my fourth bottle. I really like it since this creamy scent reminds me of Carolina Herrera Good Girl perfume. This big bottle last me a long time and I think I have another bottle somewhere in my stash. 

Lastly there is Dove Peach & White Blossom antiperspirant roll-on. It had a fresh Peach scent and it was gorgeous. I started using something else but it didn't work for me so I switched to this one and it worked. Not only I smelled nice but my body odor was nowhere to be detected and I love that. I need to get back to Dove (I remember having some in the past and I always liked them) and especially this particular scent.

It has been a while since I purchased something from The Body Shop and I have decided to go through some of their products before they go bad. In a tin pan is Wild Jasmin body butter which I purchased online because if I would see it in person I probably wouldn't. First the scent is nothing special and somewhat artificial but when I put it on me and started melting into my skin it started to smell really really nice. Sweet Jasmine smelled really comfortable and perfect to go to bed. I loved how my pj smelled in the morning, I would like to get it again.

Next is another The Body Shop item. This Coconut lotion had a very artificial scent and I didn't like it one bit. The plastic touch was awful and I couldn't stomach it. I will blame it on the age of the product because if I would use it sooner it would probably still be okay but it was over its prime and I had to throw it away.

On top is Frudia peach hand cream with the light texture (white lid). A while ago I bought a full set and this one is I think my last one or one of the last ones. It had beautiful Peach scent (it ties with the deo) and even people around me commented at how nice it smelled. I liked the texture, very light, wast absorbing and hydrating. I will get it again among some other scents but this Peach one was one of my favorites for sure.

Underneath there is Teaology Peach tea hydra cream. In the past I had a mini and I liked it enough to purchase the big one but apparently now my skin was a bit too dry and this cream didn't hydrate me enough. When I put a serum under this cream it did not want to stick to it, it was best to use on dry skin and then it completely dried and my skin still felt a bit thirsty. I probably will not buy it again, I still prefer the matcha green gel.

Bottle is The Ordinary Argireline solution 10%. I heard a lot about it and I had to get it. It is like water so I had to be careful not to spill it, thanks for the pipette I was less clumsy. I used it around my eyes, on my forehead, around my smile lines and what was left I 'wiped' on my neck. I think I noticed a difference around my eyes and on my forehead and I like that. I already bought a new bottle.

Next is another used up Catrice ultra last fixing spray. I go through these like water but it is okay since they are inexpensive and they work for me. I still have a bunch of backups so I am good for a while but I also have some other fixing sprays, from other brands but this one I trust and I am already using a new bottle.

Last two are perfume bottles. First is Michael Kors Gorgeous! with white floral notes (I can pick up sweet Tuberose which is one of my favorites) and some tobacco notes. I find this one different than anything in my collection and it will be missed but I have already too many bottles. Maybe when I get through some more I will get Super Gorgeous! which is supposed to be a bit stronger and deeper.

Travel bottle is Replica On a date. I feel for it after I tried the sample and purchased 30ml bottle and later I bought a set with another 30ml and this travel version. It is a fruity (blackcurrant) and sweet rose scent. Surprisingly long lasting scent and really juicy. I am glad that I have two more bottles so I will not have to miss this gorgeous scent.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Empties

 Hello,

on the photo below is my second part of my August empties. This time around I have more make-up products.

First bottle is Clean Cool Cotton perfume which smelled like a load of clean laundry. Very pleasant but I prefer my perfumes to smell like perfumes. I used it to spray my clothes with it and refresh them. For the price this one lasted a long time on fabric and I already miss it. I will probably repurchase it and continue using it as a laundry spray.

Next bottle is Elie Saab Girl of Now perfume and this one I loved. Sweet and nutty, rich and thick smell is what I love to wear recently so going through this bottle was easy (don't get me wrong, it took me years to finish it up but recently I wore it daily). I already found a really good deal and replaced it with another bottle also in the largest 90 ml size.

I have used up a bottle of foundation. It is my beloved Catrice HD liquid coverage foundation in Light Beige. This one is the closest to my skin tone and I love the coverage that it gives. It is buildable (sometimes I use it also as a concealer over pesky pimples to better cover them up). It stays on for hours and it doesn't break me up. I am already using a new bottle and have another back up of it.

I used up Essence extreme shine lip glosses in Dusty Rose and Shadow Rose. I used them up relatively fast, even though they do last an hour and a half on average on my lips and I have used them a few times a day. I really like their formula but the pink option in Dusty Rose was my favorite, nude shade was a bit dark and warm on me and I just wanted to use it up. 

Last tube is Nudestix hydra-peptide lip butter in Pink Kiss. It has a soft pink tint, minty tingly feel and a sweet vanilla/sugar scent. I am no longer a big fan of cooling lip products but this one isn't too strong so the feeling is bearable. I like the scent and the shade, it doesn't dry out my lips so I purchased a set of trios which includes this shade as well so I already have a backup and two new shades to play with.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Empties

 Hello,

below I have my empties for June and these were used up right before my Summer vacation by the sea.

I had these two next to my sink for more than a year., simply because I have picked up large bottles, and even though I would use them daily the products just didn't give up. First in a white bottle is CeraVe foaming cleanser for normal to oily skin cleansing without disrupting the protective skin barrier with cearmides, niacinamide and hyaluronic acid. It is my second one and I still love it. Gentle cleansing does it for me. All the make-up remaining was removed but it didn't stripped down my skin. No oilness but also no dryness caused by it. I would get it again.

In a clear bottle is the Hydrating foaming oil cleanser for normal to very dry skin cleanses, hydrates and soothes without distrupnig skin barrier with ceramides, triglyceride and squalane version. I honestly thought that this would be oilier and great for removing my make-up but this oil is thin and leaves no residue. I still liked it even though it wasn't what I have expected. I used it on days when my skin felt dry and especially in the morning. My skin loved both and having the option to customize daily based of off my skins need felt great. I would get it again.

I used up two tubes of Avon care hand creams, I had Cherry version at home and Watermelon one at work. I think the formulas were pretty similar and amazing. Light but heavy duty when it cam to dry skin. I would get both of them again. When it came to the scent territory the Cherry one was sweet and sour at the same time, the scent was noticeable while the Watermelon one was softer (the scent was less noticeable) and it had fruitiness but also it had creamy scent. What I am trying to say is that it wasn't stand alone Watermelon scent and I was fine with it since it is not my favorite anyways :)

A while ago I purchased three of these Biotherm glass serums to help my skin in different areas. First one to go is aqua glow super concentrate (glycerin, vitamin complex and life plankton water). It was very watery hence the pump but at the end I just couldn't get everything out so I was a bit sad about it. after using it up I haven't noticed any big changes in my skin, was it glowier? Yeah, it was right after putting it on and before it absorbed my skin looked glossier but when it sunk in I haven't noticed any big changes, so I will not be buying it again.

I was so curious about the Novellista Calypso Fountain perfume that I purchased it in a travel version just to see if it is any good and then splurging on the big ones. It had a pina colada touch to it and I liked it a lot. Great perfume for hot Summer days but I noticed that I got tired of it pretty fast. I noticed that I don't gravitate towards fruity scents and that is probably the reason, it was sweet but a little too much like the drink. I have used it up but I won't be buying it again. I rather splurged on the Couture Chic option ;)

Second to last is Avon anew skin renewal power eye cream which has a slight pink tint and shimmers. I looked up close and both are almost undetectable so it doesn't provide any coverage. I was using it regularly under my night time skin care and I started to notice my fine lines appeared smaller, even finer during using it. I was pleased with the results and it didn't bother my eyes (sometimes they get all watery), I would get it again.

Last in line is NYX fat oil in Supermodel shade. It is berry pink with super fine shimmers, the particles were so small that I couldn't feel them when I pressed my lips together. I liked the big applicator and color was nice, slightly sheer (I prefer it that way when it comes to bright colors) but it did disappear fast from my lips. At least it was hydrating and making sure my lips felt smooth afterwards. I liked this color but I wish they would make some lighter shades as well.

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

Empties

 Hello,

I have some more empties for the month of April but these were used up in the second half of April.

First is this big Ziaja Italian fig body wash. It was clear and quite liquid. The scent was sweet and fruity, reminiscent of the real ripe fig. I would get this one again.

Next is another Ziaja body wash but this one with goat milk. It was creamier than the first one but it didn't have any distinctive scent, just creamy but I count that as a good and positive sign. It felt calming and perfect for a good night sleep. I would get this one again.

If I am sticking with the body care, next item is Balea bloomy dreams body lotion. It had a lovely violet scent, calming, relaxing but also very light in intensity. My complaint is the slightly greasier texture. It was nice for massaging. I would like it more if the texture would be lighter, so I will not be buying it again.

Big pot is discontinued Avon planet spa Heavenly Hydration hair mask with Mediterranean olive oil. I remember I have used up a few of those and I have always had nice results, this time around nothing changed. My hair after using it felt soft, smoother and silkier, I am genuinely sad that I can't find it again :(

I have received this small tube of Vichy Dercos energy + stimulating shampoo for preventing hair loss. I got a few hair washes out of it but I haven't noticed any difference in hair growth but I still used it. No crazy results but also no bad experience, I have shampoos which works better for me so I will not be buying more.

The last bottle in line is L'occitane Verveine Cactus EDT full of Bergamot and Lemon notes that I am not crazy about. This bottle just like the yellow one was given to me and I used it more like a room spray. I am glad that it is gone and I am not sad for letting this bottle being recycled and out of my life.

First tube is Iliria 48h hand cream. I have used up one in the past and I loved it. Light texture but highly effective, even my boyfriend likes it so I have already purchased another one.

Next pink bottle is Nivea rose touch cleansing face mousse with organic rose water & micellar technology. My mom purchased it for herself thinking it is a rose toner, the liquidy texture fooled her but since she doesn't use face washes she gave it to me to use it up. It was nice but nothing special, I used it mostly in the morning because it didn't remove make-up but it was good for removing my natural oils. All in all it was a bit drying and not the best at removing foundation so I will not be buying it.

I have used up so many of these Neutrogena oil free face moisturizers that I have lost count. It is a lotion with. lightweight formula, it doesn't clog my pores and sits nicely under my make-up. Really nice and effective morning moisturizer.

I am new to the Skin 1004 brand and I tried their mini version of Madagascar centella cream. It is supposed to be hydrating, calming and helping with building skin barrier. I had high hopes but the texture was very light and watery, it took very long time to absorb and since I mostly used it in the evening when I was sleepy I just couldn't wait for it to absorb to continue with my routine. I could only use some oil on top since everything else would just slide right off. Unfortunately it didn't work for me and I won't be buying a bigger size.

Little purple bottle is Some by Mi retinol intense reactivating serum (retinol, retinal and bakuchiol) which was a free gift with purchase and even though it is small it took me weeks to use it up. It didn't irritate my skin and I like that :) also I love how clinical the brand feels :) I will get it again in a larger bottle to fully test results.

Essence grow'n'glow is a nail varnish with a slight red tint. It is supposed to make ma nails appear less yellow which it did but very minimal. My biggest no-no was intense chipping. This one started to ship on the third wear day and it is just too soon. I quickly used it up, mostly repairing chips but it is finished.

Second bottle is also Essence nail polish and this one is light grey with pink sparkles and it is named Miracle Stone. Very pretty in my opinion but it got a bit old and the formula just didn't perform how it should so I had to throw half full bottle away :(

Last one is Essence matt concealer in Light Ivory. This one is my staple and sometimes I change the shade (because I ether forget which one is the one, more shades work for me or I just get the one that is available at the moment of need). 

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Empties

 Hello,

I am back with March empties. I had these photos saved for six months now and it is finally the time to share them and add these product to my virtual library.

First only lip products.

I was head over hills to get this Catrice tinted lip oil. I got it in the shade Keep it juicy!. On me it turner quite hot pink and I wasn't a fan of this shade but I loved how glossy and juicy my lips looked after applying it. I would get it again but in a different shade even though this one was lighter pin out of the two.

Next is the limited edition Catrice lip oil from their Secret Garden collection and I picked 02 True Bloom. Soft pink which looked almost clear on my lips but it wasn't as glossy as the previous version. If they would make this shade but with a high shine from the previous glow I would make a lot of purchases :)

Red bullet is Blistex lip brilliance with Strawberry scent and red coloring with silver shimmer, on the lips it looked frosty. I liked the color and shimmer on my lips but it didn't nourish them one bit and from times it made my lips tingle and not in a good way. I actually didn't even finish it but used around half and I gave up.

Last balm is another Blistex but this one is Hemp&Shea hydration lip balm. This one is clear and has slightly vanillia like, I like the feeling and scent but hydration wasn't there. At the end of the day my lips were dry :( I will not be buying any of these two again.

I have received this bottle of L'occitane Citrus Verbena EDT from a friend. I am not particularly fond of fresh and citrusy perfumes so I just used it in my bathroom as a room freshener or I sprayed it on my clotes if the fabric softener scent was gone. Unfortunately this doesn't have a long lasting properties and I will not get it again or any other from this line.

My first Banilla co. original cleansing balm and I got it in the largest 180 ml packaging. Thankfully I really liked it, so much that I have bought three more :). This one didn't irritate my eyes and removed all of my make-up. I even like the little spatula that comes with it and keep it sanitary. I was using if for solid 5 months, comparing it to the price I think that is pretty good. 

Little tube is CeraVe eye repair cream. It had a light texture and it felt nice but nothing extraordinary. For me it was very forgettable :(

Last is huge La Roche-Posay lipikar body moisturizer. I liked the light texture and fast hydration. Pump was a nice touch but not seeing through made using this product a mystery. At the end I just didn't know when it will end. I would still get it again but it takes forever to use it up because of the big 400 ml bottle.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Empties

 Hello,

this is the second part of my used up items for November.

I finally finished up one of my oldest perfumes and it is Roberto Cavalli Just Cavalli. It was really lovely and I am already craving a new bottle but first I want to use up a few in my already extensive collection. To me this scent smelled like a mix of Alien and Hypnotic Poison. This one is my favorite version out of the three mentioned but since I have them all I want to use up the ALien and Hypnotic Poison first and then getting a big bottle of Just Cavalli.

Next is one of my favorite mascara and it is Avon SuperShock Max black mascara. It is sadly discontinued  but it separates and elongates my lashes super nicely. It also looks quite natural and that is what I like. Fortunately I have on more tube left and them I will be on the hunt for something new. 

Red tube is Avon Ultra Volume mascara in black. I tried it and immediately dislaked it. The wand was big and mascara wet and thick at the same time. It just clump my lashes together and it looked messy. I think I was using it for a week and I am already decluttering it since it is not worth it for me. 

Missha BB boomer (wrinkle care and brightening), contains pink pearl and it is so very pretty. It has this pink pearl finish and it is visible through my make-up if I use just a little of foundation and I love wearing it under my make-up. I haven't noticed and difference in longevity or application, for me it is only the pink shine and I already purchased a big tube. 

The last two items are melt & shine lip balms from Catrice  Melt and Shine juicy lip balms Shell Yeah! (light one) and Beach Blossom (red hue). First one applies sheer with shimmer which adds to teh glow and second is shimmer free but has a light red tone. I really like how they look on me (I love the glossy feeling) but they don't last very long and the hydration is't there. For me these are just for the glow and show but if my lips are in need for some TLC then I needed to use something more nourishing. 

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Empties

 Hello,

this is a part of my empties from previous month.

First, aloe shaped bottle is Holika Holika Aloe facial cleansing gel. I receive this as a gift with purchase and I was super excited to try it out. It is a thicker gel but what bothered me was the thick and hard bottle. It made the product hard to use so I was glad when it was over. To be honest I was also using it on my body just to clear it out as soon as possible.

Next is a body wash from Avon which I think is a limited edition scent. It is named Dancing Skies shower cream and it had lovely creamy Violet scent. There were also some shimmers in it to make the color of this product a bit more special. I would get it again because of the scent alone. 

This Nivea Pearl & Beauty antiperspirant was with me for a few years because I would only use it on my summer vacations since it is a spray bottle. This year I decided to completely use it up since it was really old but I would get it again. 

In my everyday life I was using Dove invisible dry antiperspirant. This is the second bottle of it (I purchased two at the time) and I still think it works for me, I still sweat but my natural scent is concealed. The scent of this one on its own isn't my favorite so I won't be getting it again. 

I used up a bottle of perfume. It is a bit smaller, 30ml but it still took me a long time. It is Furla Romantica. Fresh take on white flowers (I smell fresh Jasmine the most). It was very easy to wear and it lasted a long time for this type of scent. I would get it again but I think I have something else that smells very similar already and I am really trying hard not to buy more bottles of perfume.

The very last bottle is a bottle of Niacinamide serum. I got used to using this product and I feel like my skin really look better with constant use plus this brand Revox is inexpensive at our drugstores so I already picked up a new bottle of it.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Empties

 Hello,

there are quite a lot of empties for the month of August so I have decided to split in two posts. I have cleared up 16 items.

First is Guess Seductive Noir perfume in the large 75ml bottle. The scent is lovely, very reminiscent of Mon Guerlain but for much less. The longevity on me is great just as it is on Guerlain (yes, I have them both) but since Guess is cheaper I was using it more frequently (I apparently don't want to use the expensive one because I am scared to use it up completely...)

On top is the Kiehl's midnight recover omega-rich cloud cream which I have received as a free gift with purchase. The texture is somewhat cloud like but it did not suit me. My acne started to reaper and I did not like that. The most of this generous gift was used on the neck and chest area until it was gone.

On the bottom there is Ahava time to hydrate gentle eye cream which was not a gift with purchase :) It was a lightweight cream and I think my skin really liked it. I have eye wrinkles but if I get something hydrating around them they lighten up and are less visible. The lightweight texture was also a plus. I would get it again.

Some by mi beta phantenol repair toner (hyaluronic acid to moisturise and niacinamide to refine skin texture) was a free product with one of my purchases. I am no longer a huge fan of toners but I still wanted to use it up since I had it. I would pour some on my palm and drench my face in it, no cotton pads to soak up the product. Afterwards I followed with some kind of serum and then cream, it was a little extra step in my routine but honestly I don't think it did much, it did feel a bit extra.

Another bottle of Catrice ultra last fixing spray. I have used up so many of them and I have still around 20 bottles left. I really hope they won't discontinue it soon.

Peter Thomas Roth firm peeling gel. They claim to visibly exfoliate by rolling, lifting & sweeping away impurities when massaged onto skin multi-action enzymes & cellulose help uncover a smoother fresher, newer-looking complexion. This felt like a cream and when I was rubbing it for a while the water evaporated and it started to roll and peel. It is right there in the name but I highly doubt that all this is my dead skin, I think it is mostly just the dried up product but it did feel great, seeing all that being washed away. It gave me a feeling that I really cleansed my skin. I would get it again, since it also felt gentle on my skin. 

I have used up another Neutrogena oil free moisturizer. This is my favorite under make-up and I have used up quite a lot of them. Every once in a while they change packaging (I have seen at least five different ones but they all seem to be the same). I already have a few backups at my disposal.

The last item I purchased as a joke. It is Saffe for kids shower & bath foam with cucumber scent. I just shok it and thick lightly green and fresh scented foam came out. It was a joy to use in the shower, it did made me feel like a kid in the most positive way. I would buy it again, if I am not mistaken there are four options so maybe next time I will get something else than the Chameleon. 

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Empties

 Hello,

this batch of empties is quite large, I managed to finish up to 8 items and there are a few more just waiting to be gone.

Here I have one of my favourite perfumes which is Lancôme Hypnose. Such a lovely powdery passion fruit scent, I seriously can't get enough of it. I already have a new bottle but before cracking new bottle I will wear some other fragrances just to prevent getting sick of this particular scent.

Batiste dry shampoo is a staple in my bathroom. It is so easy to fix the hair with it and make them look more presentable through the day. I went through a numerous bottles of Batiste dry shampoo and this particular Cheeky Cherry is my second favourite (my first is still Peony but there are a few different scents which share the no. second spot). I already have a few backups in various scents.

Avon Avocado replenishing body wash is a lovely creamy product. This is already my second bottle and I have two more backups. I love the slightly thicker texture (it is not runny like water, if you are clumsy like I am then spilling it into the drain it possible) which makes this product last so much longer than the rest of body washes plus the scent is a creamy heaven to me but nothing too overpowering. Great for calming me down after a long day at work.

Next is Holika Holika Green Tea face wash. It looks like a cream which foams a little when mixed with water. It is gentle jet effective. This is my second tube and I wanted to get a new one but the price went up so instead I purchased a different one to try out but I will be on a lookout to get it again once the price drops.

Ebelin nail polish remover, I think this one is pretty basic but it works for me. It is very inexpensive and easy to get, I already bought myself a new bottle of it.

There is Aloe Vera Fruit of the Earth gel, I have tried some other brands but I have not had such success as with this one. This one doesn't irritate my skin if applied on sun exposed skin, I also use it on dry and dehydrated areas or use it as a hair gel. This tube lasted me few years but now I got myself a bottle twice the size ;) I think it will last me a lifetime :)

Catrice HD Liquid Coverage foundation in Light Beige is my favourite, formula and shade wise. With this foundation I can choose lighter or higher coverage, depending on the day and I think it looks pretty natural  and not caked through the day. I personally have to set it with powder and reapply another layer of powder through my work day since my skin is oily but I think it still looks nice and the price is super low on it. This one is a massive love and I already have a few backups.

In front there is Avon Always on Point eye pencil in Molten Pewter shade. I love this self sharpening mechanism. It allows me to always have a sharp end, every time you twist the lid back it sharpens and I think it is genius. So, I love the packaging, the formula is creamy and it sets after a few seconds and the color doesn't shift all over. The color was one of my favourites, it was a cool toned green with shimmer and great on its own or over darker colours to add some shimmer, I would repurchase it again if possible.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Empties

 Hello,

it is time to do the empties and again I have not finished up whole lot, just a few necessities. 

Rituals The Ritual of Ayurveda hand balm is supposed to be scented with almond oil and Indian rose. To me it smells very nice, creamy and comforting, lovely to go to bed to. I was using it after washing my hands daily but also at night time before going to bed I put it all over my arms and upper body for the scent alone. It had such a nice light texture and the scent was my favourite part.

I also finished up a bottle of perfume which is Jean Paul Gaultier Classique Pin up in the limited edition bottle. It held 50 ml and I already have a regular larger bottle of it. It is a sweet orange blossom scent which opens up a bit bitter (not my favourite part but manageable). After an hour or so of wearing it it gets more airy and slightly fresher so wearing it in the summer it doesn't feel like too much. I still very much love this scent so I'm glad to have a backup but before using the new one I will give a chance to some of my other fragrances to avoid getting tired of it.

In the glass bottle is The Ordinary 100% organic cold pressed rose hip seed oil. I love using rose oil since my skin responds well to it. This one didn't feel any different than any other that I have tried except towards the end it got a bit more milky and less transparent, I wonder If that is due to its age (I can't quite remember when I bought it but I can tell it is old). I think I already have a new bottle and I will continue using it. 

Last is Catrice ultra last fixing spray and this one is the best I have ever tried, if applied enough it feels like a hair spray on my skin. I will admit that it does feel weird but my make-up last the longest. It is a product that I will buy for as long as they will make (I already purchased three backups).

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Empties

 Hello,

this time around I finished up a lot of products, I barely got all of them in one photo. Now I see it would be better to divide them but I'm too lazy to reshoot and I can't wait to just recycle items below.

I finally finished off one of my favorite fragrances which is Lancôme La vie est belle l'eclat EDT. I completely fell for this sweet orange blossom scent and in the crowd of similar fragrances this one remains my favourite. It is now discontinued but luckily I managed to get two more bottles to enjoy this lovely scent some more.

The heart shaped bottle is Diesel Loverdose Tattoo fragrance. This one was nice, I mostly wore it at home. I liked the opening which reminded me of peppermint candy cane (those are not the notes so I don't know why I'm smelling it) but the dry down was a bit more underscript. Not a bad scent but in the sea of fragrances that I have this one didn't stand out so I quickly finished it off and it will not be missed.

I finally used up this large bottle of Ziaja med antibacterial care body wash (I can't read Polish so I was using this as a face wash and through using it I found out that it is meant for the entire body... since it did work I continued using it on my face). It had a very watery texture (one or two pumps were sufficient) and removed all of the oils and make-up, it was actually very sufficient face wash but I had to be careful not to get it in my eyes because it wasn't pleasant. This product does get a thumbs up for me even though I wasn't using it on the right area ;)

Purple tube is Avon Far Away Splendoria body lotion. I also had a perfume but I didn't like it but lotion is a different story. In the lotion the scent was creamier and milkier while in the perfume it was more sharp and I felt like it was attacking my senses. The lotion was nice, light texture which absorbed quickly and I haven't noticed any dry skin afterwards. I would get the lotion again since I enjoy all the aspects of it but I still have too many products so I will restrain myself.

Next is my beloved Neutrogena Clear and Defend oil free moisturiser. Lightweight, it doesn't add oils to my already oily skin and a dose of Salicylic acid is doing wonders to my skin. I am already using a new tube and now it comes in a slightly different packaging (I have been using it for so long that I remember them changing the packaging numerous times but fortunately they don't tamper with the formula).

Next to it is another repurchased item and it is Beauty Glam Niacinamid serum. Another ingredient which helps my skin to behave, it is less oily and helps clearing my pores. I immediately swapped new bottle into my routine since I use this serum pretty much every evening after cleansing my skin.

I finished up an eye cream and this particular one is Bioderma Sensibio eye contour gel. It claims to tone down the puffiness which I rarely get, but also promotes soothing and moisturising properties. It is a lightweight cream and I personally prefer something a bit thicker (I only use eye cream at night time so no interference with my make-up), this was nice but nothing too special for me. I would prefer something thicker or at least more hydrating than this one so I will not buy it again.

Then there is a product that I absolutely love and again it is also discontinued. It is Avon Supershock Max mascara. It was a big fat wand with tons of spikes which coat and separate my lashes nicely. The effect is rather natural and elongated lash (I don't like clumping) and it suited me really well. I fortunately have two more back ups.

The very last item is a novelty for me, Avon bikini line hair removal cream. I tried it out and I was pleased with the result. There was enough product for six treatments and following the rules, after a few minutes I just simply wipe off the cream and all the hair were gone. Very impressive and my skin did't feel irritated so it was a win win situation. I liked the cream but shaving and laser is just as good for me, I can see buying cream again and using it on longer hair (if I get lazy and don't shave regularly I would use this cream again).

Thank you for reading and have nice day 

Empties

 Hello,

it is mid April already and I feel like I haven't used that many products lately but out of these five there are two fragrance bottles and I count that as a full success.

The first item is my beloved Ziaja Bubble Cola body wash for kids. I don't have kids, it is for me and me only. I love the true Coca-Cola scent and I especially like to use it instead of shampoo. It cleanses my hair really well, it could be drying so I make sure to use conditioner every once in a while to bring the moisture back but other than that I really like it. Shiny and smooth hair with lovely scent all day long, this one is already repurchased.

Avon care restoring moisture hand creams are made for dry skin. I finished two at the same time because I used one at work and one at home. These are some of the best formulas for my hands. Lightweight and quick to absorb while having light coconut scent, they are my favorite for a reason (besides the banana and the Jasmin one).

The last are two fragrances. One of my absolute favourites is Idôle by Lancôme in a 25 ml bottle (I love it so much that I also have a large 75 ml bottle of it which is still full). For me this fragrance is all year scent, great for the office and everyday gatherings. Juicy Pear with Rose, translucent and still very potent.

The last one is Cloud from Ariana Grande in a 30 ml bottle, this one however I will not be buying again because on my skin this scent just doesn't work. I love the creamy coconut scent but my skin makes it plastic like and I don't like that so I sprayed it on my bed and use it as my sleep scent. I will miss it but since I have so many perfumes I won't be buying it again.

 Hello,

a little late but still here none the less. It is my 'collection' of empties and it is dare to say a big one.

First purple bottle is Avon Encanto inspiring body lotion creamy violet. It has a lovely floral and slightly fruity scent. Very nice bed time fragrance, moisturizing properties are ok but I don't like how I can't take every bit out of it. I feel like the lotion is slightly too thick and it would be better to be in a squeeze out tube, at least in my opinion.

Next is Balea Niacinamide serum. In the past I had one from The Ordinary and because I couldn't get it I just found another option. I'm not so sure about this one, I haven't noticed any big difference but maybe that is just because when I finished up the first bottle I started to use this one and I used it regularly. I will try not to open the new bottle and see if I can spot the difference now after when it is gone...

I purchased this tube already last year and I don't remember having issues but this year my face burst out in pimples while on vacation (maybe it is already expired) and I can blame ether this or BB cream... so this vacation I only used it on my body and just finished it up. It is Bioderma Cicabio SPF 50+, soothing repairing care with a very high chemical protection for weakened skin exposed to the sun. I liked that is wasn't particularly greasy or left much white cast. I still applied BB cream over it for some coverage and my face didn't burn. In theory I really liked it but that mass of pimples bothered me so much that probably I won't buy it again even though I'm not 100% sure this cream is to blame (now I used one form Shiseido and a different BB cream and I didn't get any pimples...).

Little 10 ml bottle is travel sized bottle of Mugler Alien Goddess fragrance. I really liked this one, it is still very tropical, fun time on the beach type of a fragrance but to my nose it doesn't resemble to the Alien EDP. It is a completely different scent and while I really enjoy wearing it I won't buy it in a larger bottle since I already have a few other bottles with similar vibe and I really don't need another one but since this is a refillable bottle (I love that) I will keep it and maybe put something else inside.

 Next bottle is from Langhaar Mädchen and it is heat protector and has anti-frizz effect. I really like this item, at first I fell in love with the scent, floral and creamy at the same time (this smell really resonates with me as it smell like hair 'should' smell like, it has a hair saloon type of a scent but in the most pleasant one). When I didn't use it my hair were more frizzy and less shiny so I made a point in using it every single time after washing my hair. I would shake it well and generously apply it all over my hair and the next day my hair were silky soft, just the way I like it. I will start using a different heat protection serum (I heard a lot of good stuff about it from two different people and I can't wait to see how it performs). It has big shoes to fill since I loved this one so very much.

Next bottle isn't very exciting, it is Ebelin nail polish remover. It is very efficient and it cost very little. I already repurchased it and I'm planning on buying it more even in the future.

I stopped counting how many tubes of this face moisturizer I finished up. To put it simply, it has everything in it. Great packaging (I love how thin the tube is, very convenient for traveling), lightweight texture (I have oily skin and something light yet moisturizing is very well received from my skin) and very efficient when it comes to moisturizing. I'm already using new tube and have a backup of this little 'miracle' Neutrogena oil free moisturizer.

 

Long gone is this Catrice eye shadow in the shade Princess Mattleine. When I bought it years ago it was already being discontinued so I know I can't get it again but fortunately I already have something similar in my collection to replace this beautiful dusty rose shade with lovely sateen finish. I especially loved it on my cheeks, it wasn't bold or anything outrageous but it rather gave my cheeks a little definition which is the perfect way to go for me. At the end I liked to also sweep a little over my lids but the focus remained on the face. Great shadow for that all over look.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Empties

 Hello,

I'm back with a reasonable sized empties post. 

First is a hand cream which is a must in my pockets, drawls or purses. It is Avon care antioxidant moisture with Pomegranate hand cream for all skin types. It smell fruity, not too intense. The formula absorbs quickly into my skin but the most important thing - restoring moisture... not the best. It is not bad but when my skin is on the dry side it just doesn't work that well. I prefer the Jasmin, Banana or the Coconut ones from care line.

Next is Avon Planet SPA Korean charcoal cleanse & refine (deep cleansing face wash). It is grey (just like the bottle) and the texture is very lotion like. It doesn't emulsify which I find odd. If I use just this all over my face covered with make-up it doesn't remove it, if I use it after oil did its magic on my face it also doesn't remove anything... I started mixing it into other face washes just to finish it up because on its own it does nothing for  me.

Pretty bottle is Salvatore Ferragamo perfume named Amo Ferragamo. Sweet Orange scent was nice but I didn't use it on myself but rather on my bed before sleeping. I used it daily and I'm super excited to finish it up. During the last two years my fragrance collection grew in size and I have no more room to store so finishing up a bottle is huge for me. This scent will not be repurchased but I enjoyed using it while it lasted.

Bioderma Sensibio anti-redness face cream is a staple for me. Lightweight cream which I use at night time, approximately every second day and my face is way more even, less red. I can't imagine being without it so I already have two backups, just in case :)  I find rose oil just as effective but this is not as greasy so I prefer it.

Next is my must have Catrice HD liquid camouflage foundation in the shade Light Beige. A perfectly buildable formula with very close shade match. I love everything about it, the packaging is perfect for this texture, coverage can be full, shade match plus the price tag is super affordable. I already have two backups but I heard that they changed the formula... I have not tried it out but I sincerely hope that it is still relatively the same because it is already perfect.

The last item is the 'new' Avon Supershock volume light mascara in black. It used to be in the all black packaging but now it is offered in this half pink tube with slightly different formula. The brush stayed the same, it is still huge. I think this mascara used to be known for combing lashes end elongating them, it didn't clump or add much volume. This new formula feels more liquid and therefore it is prone to sticking lashes together. When this tube was still relatively new I had to be careful while applying it but as the time passed by and the formula started to dry it seems like it is more similar to the now 'old' formula that I loved so much. I think I will buy it again but make sure to dry it out a bit to hit that sweet spot when it is the best.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day
