Empties #10: Makeup only edition
Friday, January 02, 2015Hello !
So, when I was going through my makeup collection back in October, I noticed I had quite a lot of similar or multiple products that were half used up. I decided to grab together all those makeup items and put them in a makeup bag, so I would use only those (+ the ones I can't replace, for which I don't have multiples). I kept makeup bag right where I did my makeup all the time. This was an easier way other than keeping it in some storage (which I don't have because everything's occupied).
Maybe that would give you a chance or thought to do it yourself too. As a result I did use up some products, but it's really hard to use up eye shadows (I did hit the pan though!). i will continue to try to use up more products and keep you updated.
So, here are my first items.
Živjo !
Oktobra sem malo pregledala mojo zbirko ličil in opazila, da imam kar nekaj izdelkov podobnih ter na pol uporabljenih, sem se odločila, da jih pospravim v toaletno torbico in bom nekaj časa uporabljala samo te (+ nekatere ostale, ki niso nadomestljivi). Toaletno torbico sem vedno imela (in jo še vedno imam) tam kjer se ličim, saj se mi ni zdelo funkcionalno, da bi izdelke, ki jih želim porabit preprosto vrgla v določen predal. Na ta način se nameravam znebiti še več ličil, ampak si nisem mislila, da bo vse šlo tak počasi - sploh senčila za oči (čeprav so nekatera že na polovici svoje poti).
Še naprej bom uporabljala to eno toaletno torbico, vmes pa malce eksperimentirala z ličili in vas obveščala kaj sem porabila in kakšno je moje mnenje o izdelkih.
Tukaj je par prvih praznih embalaž :)
L'oreal Volume Million Lashes (original version)
I really liked this mascara. I made a comparison. At the beginning the formula is really watery and let me tell you that it didn't want to dry out after even 2 years :S - I know you can't keep mascara for that long, but don't blame me, I didn't use it that much at the beginning. Finally it dried enough, so I could work with it and it's going into my trash. It is nicely volumizing and separates lashes, tough it can sometimes clump on you.
Repurchase: probably not (because I like the Excess brush better)
Ta maskara mi je bila precej všeč. Sem tudi naredila primerjavo. Na začetku mi ni bila ravno všeč, saj je bila precej tekoča in se celo po 2 letih ni hotela posušit - vem, da je ne bi smela tako dolgo obdržati, ampak je na začetku nisem kaj veliko uporabljala. Ko se je precej posušila, pa je bila super, kaj kmalu pa je šla v koš. Res je naredila lep volumen in ločila trepalnice, čeprav jih je včasih sprijela skupaj.
Ponoven nakup: verjetno ne, ker mi je druga verzija bolj všeč
IsaDora Build-up Mascara Extra Volume - 01 Super Black
I really love the formula of this mascara because it separates my lashes and gives me a lot of volume. However it smudges quickly, which bothers me so I did kind of combat that by using a waterproof mascara on the top of it. I wonder how the waterproof formula works, because those kind of mascaras are usually really bad. I just loved how voluminous it is, because I've never experienced that with other mascaras.
Repurchase: maybe
Ta maskara mi je bila zelooo všeč, ker je popolnoma ločila moje trepalnice in jim je dala veliko volumna. Edini problem je, da se hitro razpaca (še posebej, ko se konice trepalnic dotikajo vek in se potem poznajo črne packe), ampak malo se to da izboljšat, če na vrh še dodaš vodoodporno maskaro. Zato me zanima kako se obnese vodoodporna različica te maskare, čeprav mi običajno takšne niso všeč.
Ponoven nakup: mogoče
Miss Sporty Fabulous Glam liquid eyeliner
This product is kind of old as well, however they have only repackaged (the packaging only has a black top now) & renamed it and hopefully it has the same formula. I did like it, however at the beginning it was too wet, so it took a long time to dry. I think it was cheap and it worked nicely.
Repurchase: maybe
Tole črtalo je tudi malce starejšo in so ga vmes že preimenovali in malo spremenili embalažo (samo "pokrov" je črn), zato upam, da je tekstura še vedno enaka. Meni je bilo tole tekoče črtalo všeč, čeprav je bila tekstura na začetku preveč mokra in sem potrebovala kar nekaj časa, da se je posušil. Kljub temu pa vem, da je bolj poceni in je kar dobro deloval ter je bila obstojnost super.
Ponoven nakup: mogoče
I actually really liked these kind of eye pencils, because you use them up quicker than normal full-size pencils. This one I managed to forgot about because it was so tiny, so unfortunately I can't repurchase it anymore. Essence eyeliners are pretty nice though. I still have another on of these in a purple+beige color which I'm trying to use up as well.
Repurchase: yes, if I could
To črtalo za oči mi je bilo res všeč, ker običajnih velikih svinčnikov ne porabim hitro in sem tako tega hitreje porabila do konca. Na žalost sem nanj vmes pozabila, ker je bil že čisto pri koncu in ga ne morem več ponovno kupit, saj ni več v prodaji. Essence svinčniki za oči so drugače precej fajn. Imam pa še en tak svinčnik vijolični+bež barvi, katerega bo prav tako kmalu konec.
Ponoven nakup: ja, če bi ga še prodajali
Bourjois Breakfast a Londres nail polish (mini)
Nice shimmery color, however the packaging is horrible. Because the brush is so short and the glass in so round, you end up using only half of the product. I can't get anything out of it anymore, so to the trash it goes.
Repurchase: nope
Ta odtenek je bil lep, šimrast, ampak je bila embalaža grozna. Čopič je zelo kratek, steklenička pa je tako okrogla, da je na koncu v njej ostalo polovico laka za nohte, ki ga nikakor nisem mogla spravit ven.
Ponoven nakup: ne
Rimmel Stay Matt compact powder - Peach glow
Love this stuff. Mattifies your skin without looking too powdery. It doesn't have that much coverage, but it's cheap and it works lovely. It is kind of different from other powders and it's a "cult" product in beauty community. Maybe one time i'll try translucent version as well.
Repurchase: already have
Obožujem ta puder za obraz. Lepo ga matira, ter ne daje preveč pudrastega izgleda. Nima preveč prekrivnosti, ampak je vseeno odtenek viden. Prav tako je zelo poceni in dobro deluje. Malce je drugačen od preostalih pudrov v kamnu, ter je kultni izdelek v lepotni skupnosti. Mogoče se enkrat odločim tudi za transparentno različico.
Ponoven nakup: že opravljen
Maybelline Affinitone Concealer - 02 Natural
This is one of the best concealers I've tried. It goes really well with my greasy skin, because it has quite a drying formula. The shade selection isn't the best and also this product smells a bit like plastic. However it covers nicely and has a good texture.
Repurchase: maybe
To je eden izmed najboljših korektorjev, ki sem jih sprobala. Je zelo primeren za mojo mastno kožo, saj se lepo posuši. Izbira odtenkov ni najboljša in tudi izdelek malo čudno diši, ampak dobro prekriva in mi je všeč tekstura.
Ponoven nakup: mogoče
Manhattan Water Flash Lipgloss
I'm so sad that this is gone. It was my favorite gloss, however there was so little product left that I had to finish it, + I had it for 3 years (and no, it didn't get spoiled). The consistency was watery (as it says on the packaging) and really nice, nothing like I've experienced before. The shade was pretty and it wasn't sheer on the lips at all. It made my lips looking all watery and juicy. It smelled like watermelon. Again, sad to say goodbye :)
Repurchase: yes, if I could !
Eden izmed izdelkov za katerega sem žalostna, da ga ni več. To je bil moj najljubši glos. Vem, da je bil v moji zbirki že kakšna 3 leta, ampak se ni pokvaril !. Tekstura je bila rpecej vodena ampak zelo prijetna in edinstvena. Prav tako se je odtenek precej poznal na ustnicah. Na ustnicah je glos pustil videz vode in so izgledale bolj sočne. Vonj je bil prijeten, po lubenicah.
Ponoven nakup: ja, če bi ga še kje našla
Love and Lemons, Simona

Koliko pa stane tale korektor? :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. tudi jaz se bi mogla znebit čimveč napol porabljenih stvari haha :D
okoli 10€ :) res je, da ni najbolj poceni ampak je precej izdelka v embalaži :)
Deletevrjamem, da ima veliko punc takšno težavo :P ..jaz sem zdaj ful vesela, ko kaj porabim...tud če mi je žal katerega izdelka, ampak vem, da more vse počasi it stran :D
Pametna ideja za tole toaletno torbico, da jo imaš tam kjer se ličiš. Jaz si vse stvari pospravim v predal in potem na njih pozabim :(
ReplyDeletemeni je to res super rešitev :) čeprav mam zdaj v toaletni že 15 izdelkov :P
