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

This month I'm making up for last month, when I only had a few empties. The month of August has been a very productive one, since it looks like I've finished everything...well, not quite, but you know. Let's get started.
Face
L'Oreal Skin perfection Velvety-Soft Toner - I have had this product for ages. I only used it once in while, because I didn't see or feel any difference in my skin when I've used it. It didn't make my skin feel any different, so I must admit I kind of 'stuggled' to finish it up. I'm still looking for a good toner, something that makes a difference in my skin.
Will I repurchase? Probably not.

Simple Micellar Cleansing Water - my favourite micellar water until I've discovered the Garnier one (which I am using at the moment and loving). The later has taken this one's place and has become my favourite. I do have good things to say about the Simple micellar water, it cleaned my face, removed my makeup (though comparing it with the Garnier one, I must admit I did a bit of extra rubbing - especially around my eye area, in order to remove that stubborn mascara) and it left my skin feeling cleansed and soft.
Will I repurchse? It's in the back of my mind, but I think I'll be reaching for the Garnier one first.

Tea Tree deep cleansing nose pore strips - Another box of these (actually I'm sure there were more, but just one made it into my empties bag). I've been talking about these in my previous posts. I like them.
Will I repurchase? I will.

Clinuque anti-bleamish solutions - I've bought this at the begining of the year and it came in a pack with a cleansing foam and a cleansing solution I believe. Those two have been long gone - as in used up to the last drop - but this it has taken me a while to get through it. I do switch up between my face creams and face products, so that must be one of the reasons. It felt very light on my skin, it helped with preventing spots to 'evolving' if you know what I mean, but it didn't really 'wow' me.
Will I repurchase? Most likely not.

Garnier Oil Control Complete Vanishing Cream - Love and hate relationship with this one. I've had this for ages and I really liked it at first, so much that I went looking for it to repurchase. I mean, finally a cream that controls the oil production on my face. I couldn't find it, I guess it was discontinued. Ok, let me tell you the story. When you apply it to your face it definitely mattifies, absorbs the oils and leaves a nice matte finish. You'd think it's perfect - especially for someone with extra oily skin like myself. The problem is... I noticed that during the day I get extra oily after having used it. I mean it works for the first 2-3 hours but I feel that after that it gets my skin to produce extra oils to make up for it, like overcompensating.
Will I repurchase? Don't think so.








Body

Nivea Creme Soft Liquid Handwash - I'm not fussy about my hand soaps, I like to try different brands, but I would always have a Nivea one around. I find it moisturising, doesn't dry or damage the skin, like other brands might do. I wasn't very impressed with the scent of this particular one, maybe because my all time favourite when it comes to scant is the Nivea Honey and Milk one. That scent is absolutely yummy.
Will I repurchase? Yes.

Dove Caring Bath fine silk - as I said in a previous post, Dove are my favourite bath/shower products to use. They are creamy, they are hydrating, they smell nice and I feel they're not as rough as shower gels. I know if that makes sense. Some shower gels leave your skin squiky clean and not the good kind of squiky clean. Basically, they leave your skin dry and that's something I totally dislike. Dove products are more gentle and more hydrating, in my opinion.
Will I repurchse? I have 10 more as back-ups.

Dove DermaSpa summer revived (body lotion with self tanners) - During summer everyone likes to look tanned and as I have very fair skin, getting tanned is quite difficult (I pretty much get sunburned). As I don't have the best expericnce with self tanners (I'm sure everyone has experienced the self tanner streaks), I like to use lotions that enhance and even add a little colour to my skin. My all time favourite is the Garnier one, I have been using that for years and years, but this year I thought I'd try something different, so I went for the Dove one. Comparing it to the Garnier one, Dove has a much better scent - the Garnier one has a bit of that self tanner scent, but it doesn't make much of difference on my skin when it comes to tanning it. The garnier one would leave my skin a little more dark and it would add that beautiful glow that everybody is after. Dove has been moisturising and it did feel good on my skin, leaving it soft and hydrated, so that's a plus.
Will I repurchase? I think I'm going to stick to my Garnier one.





Hair

Gliss Hair Repair Liquid Silk - a leave in spray conditioner that it's supposed to add shine to your hair and make it look healtier. I didn't see much shine to be honest, but still I'm a sucker for anything that has the word conditioner written on it, as my hair needs that desperately. I like the scent of it, I think that just having your smell smell like that it's a big plus. Did it have much of a positive impact on my hair? Not really, but still... Will I repurchase? I have bought a second bottle after I syarted using this one, so I guess that's a yes.

TRESemme dry shampoo -  it took me forever and a day to finish up the dry shampoo, as I don't use it very much. I have mixed feeling about this particular one, there were times when I loved it, there times when I didn't. I'm kind of obssessed with washing my hair...every day (BAD!), so I rarely used it, but I guess it did it's job when it was used.
Will I repurchase? I have purchased the ultra-super-hyper cheered Batiste, so I'm curious about that one.














Makeup
Garnier BB Cream - I have had this BB cream for ages. I have alternated between this and my foundation, though I reached more for my foundation lately, as it has a better coverage. I have liked this BB cream, it has a pretty good coverage for a BB cream, it doesn't feel heavy on my face, it's pretty buildable.
Will I repurchase? I would like to try out different brands, so it's a no for now.













Random
Britney Spears Fantasy perfume - my favourite celebrity fragrance. My boyfriend use to spray this on my every time we would go to a perfume shop, as he liked the scent and thought it suited me and I started to like it a lot, so he bought it for me. I'm bad at describing scents, but this one is flowery, fresh and just perfect for every day. I love it, his mum bought me a bigger bottle of it and I
Will I repurchase? would definitely repurchase, it's my go-to every day scent.

Coconut Oil - I didn't know where to include this as it has multi-purpose use. I have had this one since winter, when I used it as a body lotion. During winter my skin gets very dry and this has been amazing. The skin absorbs it sooo quickly and it leaves my skin very soft. However since the warmer weather, I've stopped using it as a body lotion. But don't worry, there are other ways I've been using it. As a hair mask. I would apply this on my hair, especially towards the end and leave it in for about 30 mins-1 hour before jumping in the shower. My hair feels silky smooth after I've used it. I use it on my feet as mask as weel. I have dry feet and this is very moisturising. On my chapped lips and pretty much on every area with extremely dry skin. I looove Coconut Oil, I love it's scent (there are some people who dislikte it) and I think it's an amazing product.
Will I repurchase? YES!



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