Empties

 Hello,

today empties basket isn't very full but I'm working on different items especially moisturizing and nourishing ones. Cold weather is starting to affect my skin.

First item I probably bought in a bundle because I can't see myself buying it myself, scent wise and it is  Avon naturals cosy Vanilla & Sandalwood shower gel. The scent was just as imagined, very sweet and creamy. I took it with me on a Summer vacation (maybe not the most appropriate scent for a hot Summer day but I liked it) and I have to say that I enjoy it a lot, I even washed my hair with it and it made them really clean (if I wouldn't use oil on the tips they might look a bit too dry). It took me a while to finish it up because it was a bit of a thicker formula but now I'm glad that it is gone because this sweet scent was starting to get on my nerves.

Next is Avon anew vitamin C serum. It is a bit goopey but not sticky on the skin, it absorbed super fast which I liked but the scent was what bothered me. I could clearly smell alcohol, my skin didn't feel irritated but I tried other vitamin C serums that didn't have that scent so next time I'm just going to get something else. I know I'm not completely fair to it because not every alcohol is bad for you but on the other hand I also didn't notice any change on my skin tone. I tried other vitamin C serums that performed better on me, so I'm not repurchasing this one.

The very last item is a very good one. I love Avon care range of hand creams but they make different formulas, thankfully this one is amazing one and also one of my favorites. It is Avon care restoring moisture with coconut oil hand cream. The scent is barely there, just creamy and slightly coconut-y and the texture is not too greasy. It sinks in and nourish my skin so the next time I wash my hands they are still soft and well taken care of. I already have a back up and I hope they will never discontinue it.

Thank you for reading and have a nice day

Avon package

Hello,

yesterday I picked up my Avon order and I have to say it is jam packed with make-up, mostly new releases which I'm already testing and I can't wait to show you everything in detail.

First we have Advance Technique sun-light spray, summer hair saver complex which contains UV filters to protect your hair from sun damage. I'm a little late since summer is coming to an end but better late than never and I can still use it next year.

Next to it is the Luck for her fragrance. I already have the male version which I love so I added this flowery number into my collection. I will love it in the autumn.

Super extend extreme mascara is a repurchase (this is my third tube) and you know that means it is one of my favorites. This time it is in the black because it was part of the set and I couldn't choose the color myself (I usually go for black/brown version, it is still dark but not as intense).

New scent joined the Senses shower gel range, Calming Tuscany with Neroli and Olive scent, I love that they decided to make creamy formula, they are simply the best.

Two shiny, metallic tubes are the lipsticks from the new Shine burst line. I decided to go with only two lighter shades. They are Peach Punch and Rose.

The last two items are glosses also part of the Shine burst line. There are 10 shades available but most of them look rather dark or bold so I picked the more 'natural' looking ones. Pink one is named Rose Splash and lighter one is Sheer Peach Splash (I just noticed that I ordered two Rose and two Peach inspired lip products, that was completely unintentional). In the brochure it is not obvious but both of the lip glosses have some shimmer. I will try to test them as soon as possible and show them to you since there aren't many swatches available for the lip glosses.

Empties

Hello,

half of the month is gone and I'm back with another empties post. I manged to use up six items but one of them went bad before I could do so.

First in line is also the one I used up first. It is Avon Advance Techniques dry shampoo. I won't blab to much about it but you can find my review here. I still love it and I already repurchase it.

Next is another Avon item, this time from naturals range. It is Green tea & Verbena shower gel. I bought the whole set and body lotion is already used up. The scent is lovely, my cup of tea but I honestly don't care that much about shower gels. I like cheap ones and this one is a smidge too expensive so I won't repurchase it and that goes for other scents within the same range (I prefer Senses from Avon, lots of lovely scents to pick from and they are cheaper).

Melvita fresh micellar water with Rose was great. My skin responds very well to it and the Rose scent was beyond gorgeous. I had the previous version of it and it impressed me, so that was the reason why I bought this one. I just checked their official web page and it is on sale, does that mean that they are discontinuing it again?

Orange pot is Rituals Good Luck Scrub with Sweet Orange and Cedar Wood scent. I talked about it here. The scent still gets me, in my dreams that is the scent of luxurious spas on East. I think I will keep the packaging for a while just to sniff it some more and if I will ever find the store abroad I will pick it up again and some more from the same line.

On top of it is Body & Soul wellness hand cream in a limited edition scent of Passion fruit and Marula oil. I definitely recognize slightly fruity scent of Passion fruit, which has to be one of my favorites but the cream itself was rather average. Nothing to special and I don't think I will buy more from this brand unless they will get me with some more awesome scents.

The last item is Catrice Made to stay smoothing lip polish in the shade Jen & Berry's. I remember I bough it when they came out back in 2014. The shade is a nice Raspberry with some brow to it to darken it up. Rather unusual color for me but I enjoyed wearing it. The pigmentation was nice, the gloss lasted but when it was gone the lips were still tinted. I find the concept nice and it made me sad to find out the were discontinued because I would get more shades. mine in particular went bad, it always had that sweet and plasticky repulsive scent but now it is unbearable and I'm just tossing it.
