Hello again :)
I'm here with another empty products post. I feel like I've accumulated a lot of empties again. When I was ready to take pictures of empty products, they just kept on coming, so I'm quite excited to throw these things away. I think next time I need to do this sooner. Let's read more about what I used up...
Oriflame Milk & Honey Softening Hand Lotion - At the beginning I was turned off because it smells like honey, because I don't like honey scents in any of my products. The texture is liquidy, however it instantly moisturizes your hands and sinks in quickly + it does leave your hands soft. I love the packaging - the pump is great ! The scent kind of grew on me and I liked this product at the end.
(Re)purchase: probably not (not my favorite scent + I got it as a gift).
Garnier Body Intensive 7 Days Repairing Lotion (for extra dry skin - with Nourishing Shea Butter) - I've had this for such a long time and finally I used it up. It nicely moisturizes your skin and is not too greasy, however it still takes time to sink into your skin. The whole claim: Moisturizes for 7 days is so fake. No moisturizer can do that. I did really like the scent.
Repurchase: maybe
Balea Mango Mambo Shower gel - A really yummy shower gel. I love mango scents, so this one was perfect for me. Balea shower gels are so cheap (1€) and they lather nicely and I forgot how nice they actually are. This one was a winner for me. Unfortunately it is a LE, however you can still find them in DM drugstore, but I have too many shower gels, so I shouldn' repurchase it.
Repurchase: definitely would (too many shower gels + it is LE)
Subrina Perfume Drops shower gel - Nice shower gel, however nothing special. The scent was ok, quite perfumed - as the name says. It did clean my skin well.
Repurchase: probably not (I like changing my shower gels all the time)
Gaia Creams Palmarosa & Thistle face and body cream - This was interesting. It was a nice thick buttery consistency and it wuickly melted when in touch with heat. It was nicely moisturizing. The smell was very natural, a bit herbal. However, I didn't think it was that special. Again, it was "gifted" to me.
(Re)purchase: nope (just because I'm not into those natural creams)
Afrodita Young & Pure Purifying foam (face wash) - I'm not really a lover of face foams. This one was nicely refreshing and cleaned my face like all the purifying products usually do. I got it for free so I eventually used it up.
(Re)purchase: nope (not a fan of foam products)
Borotalco Invisible deodorant - Not my favorite one. It does the job, doesn't leave too much white cast, however when you spray it, you can choke on it - it is so strong (even more than Rexona). It just didn't impress me.
Repurchase: nope
Dove Invisible Dry Anti White Marks Deodorant - Nice smelling deodorant, a bit fresh, but it had that powdery scent. I don't think it left any white marks on my clothes, however it was not good in the summer - totally didn't protect me from sweating or bad smell.
Repurchase: nope
Balea Young deospray Nasch Katze (mini) - Oh my, this was horrible. I bought it to keep it in my handbag. The smell was just so sweet and suffocating. I'm not one of those people who would spray & smell it in the store, so I didn't know what the smell would be like. Protection was ok.
Repurchase: nope
Essence My Skin Caring Cleansing Wipes - These smelled really nice, however they were'nt the best for removing makeup. At least I got them as a gift.
(Re)purchase: nope
New Zealand Volcanic Clay black head nose strip - I love nose strips. This one wasn't anything special, however it did the job.
Purchase: nope
L'erbolario Tiare shampoo - A really nice sample. For me it was enough to wash my hair once and was left with even spare. It was nicely clarifying and it left my hair smelling real nice.
Repurchase: nope (just because it's expensive)
Eubos Liquid Washing Emulsion (instead of soap) - A very mild smelling soap. Did the job great and it didn't dry out my skin on the hands.
Purchase: nope
Argan Oil hair oil - This is suppossed to be a Slovenian argan oil. It smelled really nice ! It worked nicely, like some hair oils do.
Repurchase: maybe
H&M lipgloss - I've had this one for such a long time. I like some of the h&m lipglosses because they can be quite nice. This one wasn't sticky or too watery + the brush was awesome !
Repurchase: maybe (but can't, they don't sell these anymore)
Labello Med Protection lip balm - I think Labello lip balms are quite average, however some of them can be really good. This was not the case. This did not moisturize my lips at all. I had to put it on and on and it still didn't work, plus the smell was just mehh.
Repurchase: nope
Essence Viva Brasil lip balm (01 Colour Parade) - The worst lip balm thingy experience ever. It had a nice pink color and it was really moisturizing, however it started crumbling because of all of the layers. Then I threw it on the floor and it broke and I fixed it and it still kept breaking. Horrible.
Repurchase: nope (was LE + it crumbled)
Schwarzkopf Taft Power Hair Spray - My forever repurchased product. It has a great hold & it just works. Also I usually buy this on sale. For the girls who don't like the extra power & a bit of "hard to brush" hair, I wouldn't recommend this. However I usually spray this on and then quickly brush through so it looks nice & neat.
Repurchase: already have
Schaebens Peel-off mask - Oh my this smells so good - tropical. It is kind weird because it's a blue masque & it has shimmer in it. However I love it & it does it's job.
Repurchase: always

(Re)purchase: nope (just because I'm not into those natural creams)
Essence express eye makeup remover (Waterproof) - I've had this for aaaages, however I didn't use it a lot because I never wore waterproof makeup. Nowadays I do occasionally wear waterproof mascara, so this is a must. It is two-phased so you need to shake it up. It works amazing and is cheap. It only stings your eyes if you put too much on your cotton pad.
Repurchase: probably
Olaz Regenerist skin perfecting cleanser - I didn't particulary like this product. I got it together with my Regenerist face brush, so of course I used it up. It was really thick and had small beads which weren't too abrasive. However, the smell was just too off - it smelled like plastic or sth.
Repurchase: nope

REPURCHASED/USED UP MULTIPLE TIMES
Duchesse cosmetic pads (x2) - These are just cheap and nice. I like using them so I keep repurchasing them, but I won't show them anymore because you might have seen them already in empties :P
Repurchase: yes (always)
Fresh & Clean makeup remover wipes - I like these. They remove my makeup well & they smell nice. Also the packaging is nice with that plastic top (+ I've seen these on sale a lot !)
Repurchase: yes, already have

Repurchase: always
Nivea In-shower body milk (with shea butter) tester - I liked this scent & overall it was kinda better than the original one. I got these samples for free, so I'm using them up.
Purchase: nope (just because I really want that new cacao one !)
Duchesse Intimate wipes (x2) - I like these one when you're on the go. They are nicely scented and don't try out in that plastic.
Repurchase: yes

Hello again with another empties post :)
I still have left some things almost unfinished, but then again everytime I write these kind of posts it seems like it takes me forever to write everything down :D I am happy to throw things out every month !
So if you're interested in my "trash" - beauty empties, keep on reading :) .. also I don't usually put deodorants in Empties but this time I did.

Labello repair & care lip balm - this is my favorite lipbalm, it is moisturizing & it also gives that nude and glossy finish on your lips, so it does leave color. But the important thing is that it does repair your lips (at least mine) Repurchase: already have
Oriflame Revelation mascara (green) - I thought I would purchase a green mascara - a long time ago, so that it would compliment my eyes, but it was just ehh...I'm not really excited about Oriflame mascaras. Repurchase: nope (they don't even sell this one anymore)
H&M lipgloss (red) - The cap broke & it's kinda filthy now, so I'm throwing it out. But this lipgloss is really pigmented & I have a backup :) Repurchase: yes (they're cheap)
Maybelline colossal volume express mascara: This thing is the bomb. It does not clump, the formula is great, the brush is big and awesome. It is my all time favorite.
Repurchase: definitely (after I finish my other mascaras :| )
Essence lipgloss xxl shine: A nice lipgloss, however it got old & I don't really use lipglosses that much anymore :) Repurchase: already have (other shade & new packaging)
Bebe rose lipbalm: I kinda didn't like this lip balm just because it was a bit sticky, however that's why it stayed on my lips for a long time :) Repurchase: nope (have found better ones)
Ombia face scrub (Hofer) - the cheapest & nicest face scrub I've tried. It costs around 2€ and it smells like peaches or something similiar. It has big and small beads in it, but I think it is not that gentle (however that's why I like) Repurchase: alredy have
Lush Tea tree water (toner) - I just love this stuff, mostly because it is natural & it does refresh your face. It also helps get rid of all that nasty stuff on your face - pimples. It is a bit drying so I love it more for summer. Repurchase: already have.
Revlon Colorstay combination to oily skin - This is kinda love and hate relationship because it does cover a lot of blemishes on your face and it is totally meant to be for oily skin. The hate aspect: it does cake on your face. I think the alternative would be Catrice - all matt foundation (which I need to try !) Repurchase: already have
Manhattan SOS blemish stick - it did help with blemishes, however it has a strong scent & I don't think they sell these anymore. Repurchase: if they still sell something similiar.
Garnier body Intensiv 7 days body lotion in Honey- I've had this stuff for ages so I'm glad I've finished it. But it is a really nice body lotion, just don't get excited about 7 days thing (it is supposed to last 7 days on your skin), that's just advertisement. It does moisturize your skin well & it smells really nice :)
Repurchase: maybe
Palmolive Ayurituel spa hand soap - I included this because previously I had a shower gel & I think this smells really good ! It's refreshing but somehow flowery (something like that) Repurchase: maybe
Subrina conditioner for dry and damadged hair - Really nice thick conditioner & cheap ! I definitely liked this one but I'm eager to try different ones first :) Repurchase: yes
Rexona deodorant (clear diamond) - I like rexona deodorant, however they're just so white; what's up with that white cast ?!? I always almost choke on it when I apply it Oo. But it works :) Repurchase: yes
Revlon Charlie pink deo spray- This was also just whatever, it was too perfumed & didn't actually work, but it was kinda a nice smell. Repurchase: nope
Bruno banani Pure woman - I liked the smell, however I just got sick of it. It is a nice perfume, kinda frutiy but a bit floraly. Repurchase: nope
Lush Dream Cream lotion for body & hands - I LOVE this stuff. It totally helps with my dry skin on my legs ! (I really have that snake skin dryness on my legs -.-). Eventough it does not smell great it is awesome. I reviewed it here. Repurchase: already have
Christina Aguilera By night - Love this perfume. It is fruity but a bit flowery & sweet. Repurchase: already have
Duchese Intim toaletes - I like these one when you're on the go. Repurchase: maybe
Jasmin girl anti acne wipes - These smelled fruity & refreshing. However I don't think these are makeup remover wipes but if you're searching for something refreshing this is it. Repurchase: maybe
Love and Lemons, Simona
p.s. have you tried any of these?
