Empties (products I've used up): June 2016

All the products I have finished this month, which include a lot of hair stuff for some reason (I consider myself to be pretty lazy when it comes to my hair - I have thin, straight hair, which I don't style; I just air dry it and I'm done).

Hair:

I have used up a travel size Charles Worthington Colour Enhancer Brunette Shampoo. Last year, when I died my hair, I have used up another one plus the conditioner. It did work quite well, it helped maintain my hair colour for a longer time. I have decided not to dye my hair anymore (I have dark brown hair). Since I had this little thing hanging around I decided to use it. And I was very surprised that after just a few uses I had a bunch of people asking me if I dyed my hair. I haven't. So that was just another proof that it works very well even with natural hair colour. 

Will I repurchase? I definetly consider purchasing the full size version in the future, just to help enhace my natural hair colour.

TRESemme Salon Silk shampoo - this has lasted me forever. I have finished the conditioner a while back and it took me a while to get to the bottom of the shampoo. It was ok, I don't really think it has done much of protecting my hair colour, but I did use to wash my hair every day. As a shampoo it worked fine, cleaned my hair nicely. 

Will I repurchase? Maybe... but I'm definitely into trying different types of shampoo, just to see what works best for my hair. And I will definitely not be repurchasing such a huge bottle.

Matrix Miracle Treat lotion spray - I have bought this when I dyed my hair as it supposed to help protect coloured-treated hair, condition, detangle and basically protect from damage. I have used it up, but I didn't really like it. You're supposed to apply it on towel dried hair and once my hair completely I felt that it left it a bit crunchy. Did it help prolong the hair colour? Possibly, but as I said I've been using other products as well. Did it help detangle my hair? Not really, as I have a type of hair that gets very tangled. 

Will I repurchase? No. All in all, I didn't like it, I think there are other products out there that work better for my type of hair.

Kallos Placenta hair mask with vegetable extracts - it's hair mask which you're supposed to use on wet hair, leave in for 10-15 mins and rinse. It makes the hair soft and detangles. I liked this mask. My hair was very easy to detangle every time I used this, it did leave it soft and silky.

Will I repurchase? Yes, it's easy to use, made my hair feel and look nice.

Body:
Dove invisible dry deodorant - despite all the controversy that surrounds them, I'm a big fan of stick deodorants. For me, they work the best. I have tried roll-on, sprays, but those didn't do much for me. Stick deodorants, on the other hand... they work. They're not perfect, they don't do miracles, but out of all that's out there, I prefer sticks. And this month I've finished the Nivea one. Invisible? Not really. All the 'leaves no marks' deodorants that I've tried have left marks on my clothes, so that's the downside of deo-sticks.
Will I repurchase? Yep. I'm not tied to a specific brand though, I like to try them out, but I will repurchase in the future.

Femfresh intimate skin care - for me all of the intimate cleaning products work the same. It didn't create any problems, it was gentle. 

Will I repurchase? Yes, like I said, I don't have a favourite, I just grab whatever I find in the drugstore.

Dove purely pampering nourishing body wash - when it comes to body wash and shower creams and gels, I pretty much always go for Dove. I like their products and this was no exception. It's my go-to body wash. It's very creamy, cleans and hydrates the skin and leaves it very soft. I know that some people like their body wash to be very foamy, but I like the creamy feeling of them as I consider that to be more hydrating and less damaginf to the skin. But that's just me. I liked the scent of this one, very subtle and a hint of vanilla, which is always a plus for me, I love vanilla scents.

Will I repurchase? Already did... like 6 more, in different scents. Can't wait to use those.

Face:
Simple quick fix cleansing wipes - I have emtioned these in my previous post (beauty favourites) and yes, these are my favourite cleansing wipes so far, they remove my make-up and leave my skin feeling soft. Also, I do think they help fight spots.

Will I repurchase? Definitely

T-Zone Skincare charcoal nose pore strips - I have been trying different brands of nose pore strips lately ( I havent tried the raved Biore ones yet) and so far, this is my second favourite. It draws out impurities, but there are still nasty things left behind. Another downside is that it leaves black residue on my skin, like small black patched here and there where the strips were. But that's not a major problem for me.

Will I repurchase? No. The next brand is my favourite so far.

Beauty Formulas tea tree deep cleansing nose pore strips with skin calming witch hazel - these definetly work better for me. They remove quite a lot of the impurities and I like the way my skin feels after I used them compared to other types of nose pore strips.

Will I repurchase? Yes, I think I will.

Random:

Nail varnishes - this is more a declutter than empties, but there I go. Random nail varnishes from random brands. Some of them are used up, some of them have dried up, some of them have been 'revived' so many times that the true colour and quality is totally gone.

Yankee Candles:
Black Coconut - I love everything coconut and this candle had a lovely, coconuty scent.
Strawberry Buttercream - I could have eaten this candle, it smelles so good.
Will I repurchase? To be honest, I think they're a bit too pricey. They do smell absolutely divine, but I think there are more affordable ones that do the same job.

Until next time, take care of your body, mind and soul!
