Hi girls.
I know I haven't written anything in a while. Well, I've been testing some skincare and such which take so much time to test properly. Meanwhile, here is what I used up...
The Body Shop Mango Shower Gel
I absolutely loved this shower gel. The scent was so refreshing and yummy. I'm not sure it smelled like mangoes, maybe a bit fresher and with a zesty undertone. It foamed up nicely and was so nice to shower with.
Repurchase: yes
CD Pomegranate Shower Gel
Another refreshing shower gel. This one didn't wow me as much as it had a slight scent of alcohol, however it was still nice to freshen up.
Repurchase: no
Planet Spa Caribbean Escape Luxurious Bath Elixir
This was some kind of bubble bath. It made some bubbles, but not that much. However it made my skin a bit more silky. The scent wasn't anything special, but it was a relaxing one.
Mirati Face Wash
One of my favorite skincare products since 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
Repurchase: probably
Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water
This is one of the best micellar waters I've tried. I love the La Roche Posay Ultra one, however this one is as nice but it's quite cheaper. It really does remove even the blackest mascara without irritating the eyes.
Repurchase: yes
L'Oreal Pure Clay Cleansing Gel
I love cleansing gels and this one was nice as well. Although because it has clay in it, I didn't use it every day, because it was really deeply cleansing. It removed the remains of the makeup very well and it didn't dry out my skin (though my skin type is oily).
Repurchase: maybe
Soraya Care Control Mattifying Cream
I love trying new face cream with matt effect because my skin gets quite oily. This one had a nice fresh scent. I did think it helped combating the oils, however I have other creams that work better.
Repurchase: no
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 Stress Control deodorant
I think this one was one of my favorite deodorants so far. I love Rexona for hot and busy days since it protects me very well, however this one is a bit more special. Well, it just has that fresh, citrus smell to it which I love ! Sadly it is not made for black clothes.
Repurchase: yes
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.
Tigi Bed Head Oh Bee Hive! Dry Shampoo
The best dry shampoo I've ever tried. I do love Batiste, however this one by Tigi is just amazing. First of all, I loved the sweet scent which made my hair smell so nice for a whole day. The texture is transparent and sinks in very well without leaving annoying residue. It eliminates oil and gives you a fresh feeling. Although it might not be for the days where your hair is absolutely oily; that's where Batiste comes to help. I just don't like that it's so expensive for a dry shampoo.
Repurchase: yes
Batiste Dry Shampoo - Tropical scent
My favorite Batiste scent - it's just so nice, literally tropical, coconuty. I really like Batiste dry shampoos even tough they're not transparent, so they still leave a white residue, however they're kind of better than all the other ones.
Repurchase: yes
Lush I love Juicy Shampoo
One of my favorite shampoos for oily hair. It has an amazing tropical scent due to all the juices that it contains. It cleanses the hair very well without stripping it or leaving dry. Though I mostly use Lush solid shampoos because they're more environmentally friendly.
Repurchase: yes
Schwarzkopf Blond Me Color Correction Spray Conditioner
An interesting product for blondes. This spray is rich purple and is supposed to help with correcting the yellow undertones of the hair. Also it has some sparkles in it. I'm not sure that it works great as a neutralizer, however I think it's better to use this one, than any other yellow oily conditioners. If you're looking for a great product to get you rid of the yellow tones, I recommend you Ice cream No-yellow shampoo (find it here) because that one is really good.
Afrodita Cosmetics Calendula Hand Cream
Afrodita has some nice products and usually doesn't disappoint me. Well, this hand cream was nice as well. It was nicely rich and texture sinks into the skin quite quick. The scent is a bit natural but pleasant. It worked well and I would buy it again.
Repurchase: yes
Caudalie The des Vignes Hand Cream
I like the original Caudalie hand cream and this one had the same texture but different scent. It was a bit more floral. You can read more about the whole line here.
Repurchase: maybe
The Body Shop Frosted Cranberry Hand Cream
This is last years (2017) Christmas scent which I loved so much. I saved this cream a little bit because I just loved the scent. The texture was thinner, though it absorbed quickly. It wasn't the most moisturizing hand cream, however the scent made happy each time I used it.
Repurchase: yes
Essence Lip Ritual Repairing Lip Balm
I thought this lip balm would be nothing special, however it surprised me. By the look, it doesn't seem oily or buttery. The texture is light, but nicely hydrating. Cannot say that it repaired my lips, however it was moisturising enough. Plus the scent was interesting; fresh.
Repurchase: maybe
Jasmin Girl Intimate Wipes
These are ok, but nothing special. I do still buy them from time to time because they're gentle and cheap. Plus the packaging is nice because you can actually close it with a plastic lid. Though I prefer Duchesse ones, which are a bit wetter.
Repurchase: maybe
Velnea Make-up Remover Wipes
I bought these because I went to the pool and needed to remove my makeup. I always just pick some random makeup wipes. Well, I didn't like these. Nowadays I think there are just a few makeup wipes that would not get my skin irritated. These ones made my eyes sting and my skin was quite red afterwards. I used them up while doing some swatches and such.
Repurchase: no
Duchesse Cosmetic Cotton Pads
Because I use up cotton pads so often I like buying cheap ones. These are not the best because they're a bit thinner, but they totally work and I love them. They don't separate or anything, so it's easy to use them.
Repurchase: yes (always)
Duchesse Cosmetic Cotton Pads (Sand-Dorn Extract)
I did really enjoy these cotton pads as they were a bit thicker, so they were easier to use. Though I still buy the cheapest ones from Duchesse.
