Hi girls.
I know you haven't heard from me in a while, but I've just been busy and every time I wanted to do something for my blog, something more important came first. Again three months have passed and I accumulated a lot of beauty trash again which I'll talk about today. Also have to mention that I'm planning on doing makeup empties but I just need a good light to take the pictures...
L'Occitane Aqua Réotier Water Gel Cleanser
I absolutely loved this face cleanser. The texture was nice and it didn't foam up too much. It was just very gentle and didn't dry out my skin. Also I totally appreciated the pump, since it's so handy. I really enjoyed it but I wouldn't spend 20€ on a face cleanser to be honest. You can read more about this line here on my blog.
Repurchase: probably not (very expensive)
Mirati Face Wash
One of my favorite skincare products from 2016. This face wash is gentle but refreshing with a lemon scent. It cleans the skin very well while not drying it up at all. Plus it's mostly natural. Review here. Repurchase: probably
Garnier Micellar Cleansing Gel Wash
Oh my, I've used up another face wash ? It looks like I wash my face 10 times per day, but no, only two (morning and night). This one also came with a pump which is very lovely. It was quite gentle, even though it foamed up quite a lot. It also removed the remains of my makeup very well. Right now I'm also using the Garnier Micellar Water which is amazing.
Repurchase: maybe
Avon True Nutra Effects Micellar Cleansing Water
I've used this one up because it was just in my stash. It's not my favorite micellar water because it is not the best at removing mascara and sometimes it also stings my eyes. I think for the price is ok, but I'd rather choose Garnier one.
Repurchase: no
Rituals Happy Buddha Foaming Shower Gel
This is my second "can" of this shower gel. With mandarin & yuzu it felt very refreshing. And it is not a commercial citrus scent, but has relaxing feel to it. The foam was thick and very nourishing. You don't see products like this often. You can read a review here.
Repurchase: yes
The Body Shop Frosted Berries Shower gel
I change up my shower gels quite often, but here and there I'm obsessed with a scent. This one is definitely one of my ultimate favorites. It's only available during Christmas time, so I repurchase a bottle each year. This one was last years and now I have a new version which is called Berry Bon Bon and is literally the same.
Repurchase: hell yes
Afrodita Cosmetics Lavender & Lemon Antibacterial Hand Wash
I got a few products with this lavender scent from Afrodita. I love the brand. However this hand wash was just average. I thought the smell would be a bit more distinct, however you could barely smell it. It was still a nice hand wash but nothing to remember.
Repurchase: maybe
The Body Shop Glazed Apple Body Butter
Another festive product. I thought it was still worth mentioning it because I hope they will bring this scent back. And also because TBS body butters are iconic. They're really moisturizing and nice. On me, the butter looks and feels oily, so I use it only before bed. But still I love how nice it is.
Repurchase: yes
Afrodita Cosmetics Body Butter (jojoba oil & shea butter)
I don't think this product is available anymore. Still I'll mention it because 100% SPA products by Afrodita Cosmetics are really lovely. This body butter was really thick, however it felt very luxurious on the skin and it melted in like an oil. So again I would use this only before putting on the pyjamas.
Afrodita Cosmetics Delicate Balance Intimate Cream Wash
Another lovely product from Afrodita. I've tried also the version for shaving which is lovely as well. The intimate wash is not overly foamy and it feels gentle. I don't really notice difference between intimate soaps, other that some foam up too much. Also I never had any reaction for any of them. This one is also made in Slovenia, which is great.
Repurchase: yes
Rexona Active Protection+ Invisible Anti-perspirant
I like Rexona deodorants, but after trying this one, it is now my winner. I always choose the ones for black and white clothing. This one lasts even longer and acts even more when you get active. I mostly also love this one for the scent because it's kind of a powdery one and out of all other Rexona deodorants, this one doesn't make me choke on it.
Repurchase: already have
Rexona Maximum Protection Classic Anti-perspirant
I thought this one was the same as Active Protection one but I was wrong. You don't get stinky quickly and it works amazing at that, but I have a problem with the scent. It again makes me choke like hell and I just despise that.
Repurchase: no
Garnier Mineral Protection Anti-perspirant
This is a decent deodorant. It protects me quite well, but I don't love the scent and I don't think it's as good as Rexona. I might switch to it again when I feel like Rexona doesn't work for me anymore.
Repurchase: maybe
Caudalie Instant Detox Mask
I got a bunch of samples of Caudalie face masks and this one I tried one time when my skin was a bit bad. The clay texture was pink which was fun. It was just like an ordinary clay mask which dries quite well on the skin. It cleaned my pores a bit and I felt like it was very purifying. It didn't dry out my skin.
Repurchase: maybe
Labello Labellino Raspberry Red Apple Lip Balm
These little eggs are a bit newer version of lip balms for Labello. Yes they might look like EOS lip balms, however these are not waxy. At first I thought the Labellino was amazing but then I discovered that still the classic Labello is the best for me. This one smelt amazing: very fruity. It left a bit of a light pink tone on the lips, so if my lips were cracked this lip balm would show in each crack, which looked gross. But on a normal day, I liked it.
Repurchase: maybe
Labello Classic Care
My all time favorite lip balm. It's a bit thicker and looks oily on the lips, however I feel like it is really one of the best (even though ingredients aren't any special). For me it just works, so I always repurchase it.
Repurchase: yes
Vichy Idealia Eyes (eye cream)
It took me such a long time to use up this eye cream. To be honest, I thought it was just ok. It has a pearly tint to it, which is nice in the morning of before you're using makeup, so the under eye area looks a bit more awaken. Other than that, I didn't think it was moisturizing enough for me. Though I loved the jelly applicator which was handy.
Repurchase: probably not
Duchesse Intimate Wipes
I really like these. They are wet enough and nicely calming. I use them mostly during that "time of the month".
Repurchase: yes
Balea Refreshing Wipes 3 in 1
These makeup wipes were actually really nice. They were gentle enough and removed mascara quite okay. Also they were very lightly scented. I used them when travelling. They aren't the best but for the price, they're quite decent.
Repurchase: probably
Yes To Cucumbers Soothing Facial Wipes
I bought this on BeautyBay because I wanted the free shipping ha ha. I chose them because they're supposed to be "soothing" or for sensitive skin. Well, they stung my eyes quite a lot, so my expectations were suddenly diminished. The wipes were nicely wet and smelled lightly of cucumbers, however they were just too harsh on my skin.
Repurchase: no
Duchesse Cotton Pads (duo quality)
Because I use up cotton pads so often I like buying cheap ones. These are a bit thinner, but still have a great quality. They work great, so I keep repurchasing them.
Repurchase: yes (always)
