Empties #24

Hi everyone :)

It's time again to show you the products I used up :)

Let's jump into it ;)

Fa Luxurious Moments Black Amethyst & Pink Viola Cream Soap - I liked the scent, but it was quite strong. Somehow it left my hands feeling dry from time to time.

Repurchase: Probably not.

Fa Mystic Moments Shea Butter & Passion Flower Scent Shower Cream - oh I really enjoyed the passion flower scent. It was creamy, but not very hydrating.

Repurchase: No.

Balea Deo Roll-On Pink Pomelo - I always repurchase Balea deodorants since they're really affordable and work very well.

Repurchase: Yes, but different scent.

Fitoval Dandruff Shampoo - a pricey shampoo (around 7€ for 100ml) but I got it when I had a coupon for 50% off. I liked the fact that my scalp wasn't itchy as it usually is but it didn't remove my dandruff completely. I'm desperate to be honest and open to any suggestions, please help.

Repurchase: Maybe, if it's on sale.

Parodontax Classic Toothpaste - without fluoride. You have to get used to the taste, since it does have a very unique one but it's the best toothpaste I used for bleeding gums.

Repurchase: Always.

La Roche - Posay Effaclar Duo+ - I didn't like it at first but somehow it grew on me and I really felt it made a difference when I used it before applying foundation.

Repurchase: Probably yes.

Green Line Natural Clear Tinted Moisturizer - it didn't give a lot of coverage as it was expected since it's a moisturizer but I did like it in the summer when it was very, very hot.

Repurchase: Maybe in the summer.

Essence Colour & Go (sparkle sand effect) 183 Be My Lucky Star - loved the sand effect and it was very sparkly! It didn't last on my nails very long, but it was beautiful so it was worth it anyway :P

Repurchase: Probably not just because I have way too much polishes ;)

Broadway Nails Nail Strengthener - I didn't like it. It peeled of my nails literally even when I waited for hours to dry. If I put a coloured polish over it then it was fine.

Repurchase: Definitely no.

Essence Studio Nails Moisturizing Cuticle Cream - I did enjoy it since it was very hydrating and did the job.

Repurchase: Not at the moment.

Balea Reinigungstucher - I like these when I'm too lazy to remove my makeup properly :P

Repurchase: I did already.

Balea Totes Meer Maske - enjoyed it a lot. Left my skin very refreshed.

Repurchase: Maybe.

Oriflame Crystal Glaze Lip Gloss - loved it. Such a unique shade, it was clear gloss with duo chrome blue/purple glitter in it. I didn't want to get rid of it, but unfortunately it's too old.

Repurchase: They're not selling it anymore.

Miss Sporty Ladies Night Lip Gloss 802 Ladies Gossip - wasn't a fan of the shade.

Repurchase: No.

Oriflame Visions Stargazer Topcoat Mascara - it was basically a glittery mascara and I really liked it especially in the holidays.

Repurchase: Not sold anymore unfortunately.

Essence Black Kohl Pencil - I did like it for tightlining. It was a basic black pencil.

Repurchase: Maybe.

Maxfactor Nude Kohl Pencil - loved it for the waterline. I always use nude pencils since they really make your eyes look bigger.

Repurchase: No, I bought Oriflame's nude pencil.

Makeup Revolution Mascara - sorry but can't remember the proper name of it, it was something with a curl word in it haha :D The writing is completely gone from the packaging. I wasn't a fan of it, but I like really bold lashes.

Repurchase: No.

Loreal Volume Million Lashes - wasn't a fan of the glitter in it, but I liked that it really separated my lashes nicely, however it didn't gave them a lot of volume.

Repurchase: No.

Avon City Rush for Her EDP - I liked it because it was sweet (plum & vanilla) but not too strong.

Repurchase: Not sold anymore :(

Avon Cherish EDP - came out in 2015, so it's newer than previous. It has an intense cherry blossom scent, I think it's a total spring masterpiece :)

Repurchase: Maybe

Avon Little Black Dress EDP - such a classic. It's an oriental fragrance with top notes of cyclamen, coriander, african ginger, apricot blossom and honeysuckle. I think it's very classy, timeless and very feminine.

Repurchase: Definitely!

That's it guys, we came to the end :D Hope you enjoyed!

Kisses,

Katja

Empties #18

Hello everyone :)

I've been accumulating empties for about a month now, so it was time to write this post already :)

Enjoy guys! :)

Felce Azzurra Dolceprotezione Shower Gel - My mom gave me this shower gel because she did not like the smell of it and guess what.. I didn't like it either. It smelled horrible. The price of these is quite high so I was really disappointed.

Repurchase: Definitely not!

Avon Senses Sensual Mystique Exotic Rose & Jasmine - a creamy shower gel that I really enjoyed. It had a gentle smell and I do usually like Avon's shower gels so I keep repurchasing different scents when the big bottles - 500 ml are on sale.

Repurchase: Yes, but different scent.

Green Line Refreshing Tonic - with lemongrass and cucumber extracts. It's suppose to be for soothing your skin, tightening pores and preventing new spots from forming. I didn't see the tightening of the pores, but otherwise I liked it. The smell was refreshing and it made my skin feel really clean.

Repurchase: Maybe.

Oriflame Tea Tree Purifying Wash & Tone Gel with organic tea tree oil - my holy grail. I've had very bad acne prone skin when I was a teenager and the only thing that helped me with getting rid of acne/spots was the tea tree line from Oriflame, so it has a soft spot in my heart for sure. The smell can be too much for some people because it does smell like tea tree and it's quite intense.

Repurchase: Yes! I did already.

Green Line Basic Moisturizing Cream for normal and mixed skin - I threw the packaging away but I think it contained a green apple extract. I have combination skin - oily/dry and I really loved this cream. It felt very moisturizing but not too much so my oily side of the skin wouldn't absorb it and it would just sit on it :D The smell was also nice, quite refreshing honestly. I enjoyed it a lot.

Repurchase: I will in the future.

Balea Streichelzarte Pflege - a nice cream for sensitive skin type. I did enjoy it, but it was average. I prefer the green line cream I have mentioned above.

Repurchase: I think I have one left, but than probably no.

Balea Active Deospray - smelled refreshing and I liked it. Even if it says it's for "active" people it actually didn't last any longer on me than their normal deodorants. But I do constantly buy Balea deodorants since they do last quite a long time and they're extremely affordable.

Repurchase: Different scent.

Balea Sensitive Deo Roll-On - it had a nice gentle scent to it and I enjoyed it as all the other deo roll on's from Balea.

Repurchase: Different scent.

Sephora Triple Action Gentle Makeup Remover Gel - obviously a sample. It's suppose to cleanse, moisturize and soothe. It doesn't have any scent to it and I liked that because sometimes a scent can be very overpowering. I enjoyed using this product, it cleansed my skin really nicely.

Purchase: Maybe.

Bioderma Sebium Micelle Solution Sample - I didn't really like it, it felt drying and didn't seem to clean my skin very well.

Purchase: No.

Avon Ideal Shade Light Makeup (Nude) - this was a light foundation, didn't give much coverage but I liked it in the summer and when I didn't want or need a full coverage foundation. It's unfortunately discontinued now.

Repurchase: No, because it's discontinued.

Balea Face Mask - sorry I don't know a proper name of this face mask, since the other half is gone already and there was the name :P It smelled like sea and cleaned my face nicely.

Repurchase: I might in the future, I have too many face masks at the moment.

Avon Colortrend Top Coat (Silver Plated) - I love glitters so this nail polish was no exception :) I liked it a lot and you can see a manicure with it here -> click.

Repurchase: I think they're not selling it anymore.

I hope you enjoyed & Happy May guys! :)

Kisses,
Katja

Empties #17

Hey loves :)

I've been quite good with using up the products, so I have another empties post for you :)

Syoss Anti-Dandruff Shampoo - I like it, did help me with my dandruff problem, but it doesn't prolong washing the hair.

Repurchase: Yes, I did already.

Ebelin Nagellack-Entferner Express - I love this "spongy" nail polish remover, makes the removing of the nail polish so easy and quick.

Repurchase: Always.

Moj Dan Hand Soap - I bought it on clearance, 50% off. It was milk and honey scented and I enjoyed it quite a lot :)

Repurchase: It was discontinued.

Green Line 3 in 1 Cleansing Emulsion - at first I was quite skeptical about the whole idea of cleansing and toning with a cream - the consistency of this emulsion was thick, like a cream. But when I started using it on a daily basis I really liked it! It was a nice product, cleaned my face completely.

Repurchase: Maybe, but not at the moment because I have other cleansing products.

Rimmel Stay Matte Primer - I had a love/hate relationship with this primer. Sometimes it worked great for my skin, but sometimes it just didn't cooperate :D

Repurchase: No.

Oriflame Nature Secrets Soap Bar - with anti-bacterial extracts, tea tree & mandarin. I always buy soap bars from Oriflame, since they are very good. Moisturizing, smell nice and all in all they're a nice product for the money.

Repurchase: I will, but a different scent.

Parodontax Daily Toothpaste - Gentle whitening. Another product that's definitely not new to my blog. This toothpaste is a holy grail for me, does it's job and keeps my gums from bleeding. It's more expensive than a regular toothpaste, but it's worth the money.

Repurchase: Yes, but a different kind, probably without fluoride.

Essence Studio Nails 24/7 Nail Base - I did use it as a nail base, but it wasn't anything special, quite average I must say. It did got thick quite quickly.

Repurchase: Nop.

Catrice Kohl Pencil in Dark Brown - I used it as an eyebrow pencil and it matched my brow colour perfectly.

Repurchase: I think it's discontinued :(

Maybelline Shiny-Licious fruity gloss in 805 Bubblegum Twinkle Berry - well this one is very, very old. It was probably one of my first glosses I ever bought. It still smells nice, but I had to get rid of it now :D

Repurchase: Discontinued.

Avon Perfect Kiss Lip Gloss in Naturally Nude - Oh I was totally obsessed with this gem. It was amazing, "my lips but better" colour. Beautiful, but they're discontinued and I hope they at least bring them back in the clearance brochure.

Repurchase: Discontinued, but yes definitely if they appear in the clearance brochure again ;)

That's it guys, hope you enjoyed and have an amazing weekend ;)

Kisses,

Katja

Highlight Your Natural Beauty

Heey loves :)

Today's post is inspired by the brand Glossier. If you haven't heard for them - Glossier is a modern beauty brand inspired by real life. They believe that beauty should be fun, easy, imperfect and personal. Their products are designed to highlight (not hide) natural beauty, so don't expect full coverage foundations ;)

From face mists, masks, skin tints to products for brows, they have it all.

I'm especially intrigued by their skin tint, however it claims to be super sheer, so be aware of that.

www.investmentfactory.com

The inspiration came from them and I decided to share with you my essentials for highlighting my natural beauty. Don't get me wrong, I do have enormous pores, acne scarring, redness etc., but I don't want to use a full coverage foundation everyday to hide it all, and anyway this "imperfections" only mean that I'm a human, so what :P

I decided to include a little bit of everything, from cleanser to brow filler.. :)

1. AVON Anew Reversalist Foaming Cream Cleanser

Let me tell you, this cleanser is phenomenal, at least my skin loves it! It's a gentle, creamy cleanser, however it does leave skin look refreshed and renewed. It doesn't leave your skin excessively dry. A must if you want your skin to look good :)

2. Catrice Eyebrow Filler

I know I know, I've written many times about this gel and this is exactly why I had to include it in this post :) I have quite thick eyebrows and I don't like drawing, extending etc. them, because to me it doesn't look nice. So I mostly use this (in combination with Catrice brown pencil) eyebrow filler, just to keep my brows nice all day and to fill them in just a little bit. You get a nice, natural look, and it's what I'm all about (especially for the brows).

3. Green Line Natural Clear Tinted Moisturizer

The next essential product for natural looking skin is this tinted moisturizer that is awesome if you have combination skin like I do. My skin is quite oily with dry spots. This contains lemongrass and honey extracts plus it's against spots and blackheads. I use it a lot and it does make me feel more confident, without covering my face with a "mask" :D

4. Avon Nutra Effects Radiance Tinted Moisturizer

Another moisturizer, but this one is different than a previous one. It's paraben, pthalates and dye free, which means it's suitable for sensitive skin plus it contains spf 20. It's formulated with Strelitzia seeds and diminishes hyper pigmentation and brightens skin. I use this one mainly in summer, because it is very light.

5. Labello Lip Butter - Vanilla & Macadamia

For the days I want my lips to look natural (but nice) I use this Labello Lip Butter. I like it because it moisturizes my lips and gives them a little bit of shine.

These are all my essentials for highlighting natural beauty and please let me know what yours are in the comments bellow! ;) And as Glossier says: "Skin first, makeup second, smile always!" <3

Have a lovely weekend,
Katja
