Empties #41

Hey guys!

Another empties post for you today, I haven't written one since the end of June, so this has been accumulating for two months already. I did manage to use up a good amount of products ;)

Let's start!

Avon Senses Anti-Stress Shower Gel - I bought this one on sale. An average shower gel, nothing special.

Repurchase: I wouldn't buy the same scent.

Avon Senses Cocktail collection Kir Royale Shower Gel - this is a new line of raspberry & cassis that Avon introduced. I bought myself this shower gel and I have to say I liked the scent.

Repurchase: Maybe if it's on sale.

Avon Senses Joyful Tropics Shower Creme - oh this was a nice scent, perfect for summer with papaya and peach. Loved it.

Repurchase: Maybe.

Subrina Cherry Blossom Shower Gel - my all time favourite shower gel. Smells so nice, fresh of cherry blossoms and lingers on my skin for a while. Love this one and it was repurchased many many times.

Repurchase: Yes!

Nivea Micellar Shampoo - for normal to greasy hair. The fact that it has 0% silicones is very nice. I think this one worked great wiht my hair. I did repurchase it a couple of times already, so that tells something, I 've been impressed so far. I do have some different shampoos right now to try out, but I think this one will get repurchased in the future for sure!

Repurchase: Definitely in the future.

Balea Mizellen Reinigungs Tucher - one of them was a limited edition. I really like these wipes for the times when I'm too lazy to properly remove my makeup (which is 90% of the time unfortunately :D). They do the job great plus they're very affordable.

Repurchase: For sure.

Avon Senses Calming Tuscany Shower Creme - oh god I hated this scent with all of my heart. Hate is a strong word but I really, really didn't like it (get the reference :D). My boyfriend didn't mind it though, so you may like it. It has strong scent of olives. My first shower gel from Avon that I really didn't like at all :D

Repurchase: No.

Avon Senses Peaceful Reflection Shower Creme - this one on the other hand is my favourite from Avon :D Smells really nice, gentle and not too strong. It's oriental orchid and raspberry.

Repurchase: Yes!

Balea Cocos/Ananas Shower Gel - limited edition, another one of those summery scents. I enjoyed this one as well, really nice.

Repurchase: It was LE.

Balea Avocuddle & Strawberry Kiss Duschgel - such a cute packaging right ;) Totally got me of course :D Enjoyed the scent as well ;)

Repurchase: Another LE.

Farmasi Summer Cocolo Body Wash - this one was a part of the whole coconut collection from Farmasi. Not your usual coconut scent, this one is a bit different since it's more "natural". I did like it, but my boyfriend hated it :D

Repurchase: No, limited edition.

Avon Care Coconut Oil Body Wash - oh if you haven't noticed yet, I love everything coconuty :D Coconut must be my favourite with all things. This body wash I took with us to seaside and I really loved it. It's perfect for summer.

Repurchase: Maybe.

Balea Melone Creme Seife - basically a hand soap. I usually buy them from Balea because they're affordable and do the job just fine. This one was a melone scent, perfect for summer.

Repurchase: Not this scent.

Balea Men Surfers Paradise Duschgel - I usually don't buy shower gels especially for my boyfriend but this one really smelled nice. At the end I showered with it as well because it was amazing :D

Repurchase: I might.

Balea Sweet Berry Rasiergel - I always buy shaving creams from Balea because they always have different, amazing scents and this one wasn't an exception.

Repurchase: Different scent.

Balea Spray-On Body Lotion - loved this one because of the easy application. I'm usually pretty lazy with my body lotions, but because this was so easy to apply I did manage to use it up :D

Repurchase: I did buy another one yes.

Dvorec Trebnik Funky Orange Shampoo - Unfortunately I wasn't a big fan. I felt like my hair didn't get clean enough.. My boyfriend used it up instead.

Repurchase: No.

FA Magic Shower Gel - pretty packaging and nice scent that lingered on my skin for a while.

Repurchase: Maybe if it's on sale.

Avon FootWorks Deodorising Foot And Shoe Spray - lavender scented. I like this spray for shoes, it's really nice especially for summer.

Repurchase: I did already.

Afrodita Suncare Sunscreen Milk SPF20 - my first time buying sunscreen from Afrodita. It's quite expensive but it did the job. I think it was better than the Avon's cream than we had last year with us on holidays.

Repurchase: Not sure, maybe.

Essence Nail Art Twins & Nail Art- I loved this glittery polish so much. Unfortunately it dried up because it's quite old :D. The nail art polish I wasn't a big fan of, it also dried up.

Repurchase: Not sold anymore.

Essence Colour & Go Polishes - I'm sorry I don't know the names of these two. I like Essence nail polishes and these two were good as well.

Repurchase: No.

Images Deep Sea Moisturizing Mask - wrote a review here ->CLICK. Didn't see results.

Repurchase: No.

Balea Pflege-Kick Tuch Maske - A decent mask for great price.

Repurchase: No, I like to try different sheet masks.

Merci Handy Hand Cleansing Gel - a nice cleansing gel for your handbag. I got mine in LF box.

Repurchase: No.

Balea Hygiene-Handgel - after Merci Handy I found this one in DM which claims it removes 99% of bacteria. I liked this one as well, kept it at my office desk.

Repurchase: I actually bought another but with coconut scent :P

Real Chemistry Enviromental Rescue Essential Day Cream - it did give me a nice glow as it claims. I liked it, but wasn't a big fan. It performed average.

Repurchase: Probably no.

Nuxe Moisturizing Cream - nice cream. I got it in LF box as well. I think Nuxe is too pricey for what it actually is.

Repurchase: No.

Gatineau Serum - I didn't notice any difference, but this was honestly a small sample of the serum so maybe if I used it more...

Repurchase: Maybe some samples.

Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation - special foundation, unfortunately a bit more expensive than my usual foundations :D I did like how it looked on the skin, like you have nothing on. Very natural.

Repurchase: Maybe.

Catrice Even Skin Tone Foundation - this one was more of a thick and heavier foundation but also looked very nice on the skin, especially applied with a wet beauty blender.

Repurchase: I might in the future.

Elf Blush - an orange toned blush with little gold shimmer in it. Looked really nice especially in the summer but it's time to go since it's pretty old ;)

Repurchase: No.

Avon Little Black Dress EDP - my favourite scent from Avon. I repuchased it a few times already. It's such a classic scent, very suitable for an evening outing. It's soft and inoffensive plus it stays on me for a while.

Repurchase: Definitely in the future!

Balea Beauty Therapy Tagescreme - a sample which was included with makeup wipes. As far as I could test it it was nice :)

Purchase: No.

Omorovicza Balancing Moisturiser - another product from LF box. It was a light cream, but kept my skin hydrated through the day and it worked nice under makeup as a primer.

Repurchase: Probably no, just because I like to try different ones.

Polaar Hand Cream - my hands are not usually dry but I still use hand cream almost every day. This one was nice, a bit thicker in texture.

Repurchase: No.

Monu Spa Warming Ginger Bath & Body Oil - I used it as a body oil. My boyfriend and I both loved the scent which was a mixture of ginger, lemongrass and orange. So fresh!

Repurchase: Maybe.

Oriflame Anchor Soap Bar - perfect for summer since it was shaped like an anchor :D

Repurchase: Limited edition.

Ciate Wonderwand Mascara - another product I got in LF box. Ciate is known for their nail polishes, but I really liked this mascara. It had drier formula which I prefer. It was easy to layer.

Repurchase: Maybe.

Loreal Paradise Extatic Mascara - bought it for a review when it first came out, but then I never found the time to write it. I really liked this one as well, but the only downside is it dries so freaking fast! For the price which is around 14€ it dries too soon unfortunately.

Repurchase: I might if it's on sale.

Essence Brow Designer - I buy my pencil brow from Essence. It's affordable and does the job.

Repurchase: Yes.

And that's the end :D Finally, there's quite a lot of products :D
Happy Sunday <3

Empties #35

Hello <3

Today I have another empties post for you. I didn't find time to write it in October so I've been accumulating these for two months now. I gathered a lot to be honest, but I'm happy because I'm working on using things up and not buying many.

Balea Fruity Dream Rasiergel - a limited edition shaving cream from Balea. I always buy these since they're affordable, smell nice and working great.

Repurchase: Not this scent, but another.

Balea Mizellen ReinigungsTucher - cleansing wipes, but this ones are with micellar water. These are amazing, quite pricey though about 2€. But I do buy them from time to time, since they are a time saver.

Repurchase: I did already.

Olea Orchid & Cashmere Shower Gel - it smelled nice but otherwise I didn't like it as much as I like Balea shower gels which are around the same price.

Repurchase: No.

Balea After Sun Duschgel - my forever repurchased shower gel. Smells like coconut and I can never get enough of it :D

Repurchase: Forever.

Avon Senses Andalusioan Bliss Shower Creme - an average shower gel, nothing special about it.

Repurchase: Nop.

Balea Bahamas Dream Duschgel - another summery shower gel that I did really enjoy. Would totally recommend you trying the Balea shower gels if you haven't already!

Repurchase: I think this was limited edition.

Avon Sun - a sunscreen with SPF 50. I'm not decided on this one, it was more "meh". Smelled like alcohol and I'm not sure it did much for me, since the sun burned me pretty bad. I was in Egypt this summer though so I'm not sure :P

Repurchase: Maybe, not sure.

MojDan Tropic Liquid Soap - wasn't a big fan of the scent and the soap was average. Did the job.

Repurchase: No.

Subrina Recept Anti Dandruff Shampoo - I did like this shampoo. I have to tell you first I have a problem with dandruff plus I have oily hair. This didn't remove my dandruff completely, but it did help me a bit plus it really cleaned my hair since I didn't have to wash them every 2 days.

Repurchase: I might.

Kerastase Shampoo - unfortunately I did not like this one. I got it in one of my LookFantastic beauty boxes. I think it would be more suitable for dry/normal hair not for oily hair with dandruff problem. It just made my hair oily faster.

Repurchase: No.

Mojdan Cleansing Wipes - I buy these regularly since they're affordable and do the job ;)

Repurchase: I did already.

Balea Sweet Mango Tuchmaske - recently Balea came out with three Tuchmaske. One of them is this sweet mango that I already tried. I did like it, especially for the price which is 0,99€. My skin felt nice, soft and moisturized.

Repurchase: Maybe in the future.

Balea Q10 Anti-Falten & Energy Maske - I did like this mask, my skin felt soft and really nice after using it.

Repurchase: Maybe, but I do like to try different ones.

Muller Face Mask - I'm sorry I don't know the proper name of this one. It smelled nice and felt nice as well. Average mask.

Repurchase: No.

BalanceMe Balancing Face Moisturiser - got it in LookFantastic beauty box. I liked the fact that it had good ingredients, 99% of them were natural as well. Otherwise it was a nice moisturiser, but nothing special.

Repurchase: No.

SkinChemists 24hour Aqua Repair Facial Serum - again got it in LF box. Thought it was nice, but didn't do miracles to my skin.

Repurchase: No.

Decleor Hydra Floral Hydrating Gel Cream - was also in my LF box. This one felt better on my skin than the two previous ones. I enjoyed the floral scent and I might consider buying the full size. It's quite pricey though.

Repurchase: Maybe.

Essence Anti - Spot Moisturizer - bought it because it was on sale. And it was ok for the price point :)

Repurchase: No.

Mercator Cleansing Milk - you won't believe me when I tell you but.. this cleansing milk actually helped me when I had terrible acne in high school. It was the only thing with tea tree line of products from Oriflame that worked for me. I was so thankful because I really tried everything to that point, even some highly expensive products.

Repurchase: Not at the moment, even though this is an excellent product.

Balea Pink Pomelo Deospray - always buying the Balea deodorants because they're awesome for the price.

Repurchase: Another scent.

Avon MagiX Prime And Set Spray - I really love this spray. I didn't notice it prolonging my makeup but I spray it all over my face when I finish getting ready and it makes the foundation look wonderful, even though it sometimes looks cakey before. Would totally recommend!

Repurchase: I did.

Avon Face Perfector - some people really swear on this one so I decided to buy it. To me, it wasn't worth it. I have enormous pores to be honest, but this didn't help me. All it did was it did a bit mattified my skin but that's all.

Repurchase: No.

MonuSkin Rosewood Reviving Mist - I love face mists like this one. Had a pleasant scent and I could smell it for a few hours.

Repurchase: Maybe.

Elf Flawless Finish Foundation - Sand - this was too dark for me until this summer when I got a lot tanner than usual. Then this was the only foundation that actually matched me. I loved it, the finish, the coverage, everything was really nice about it.

Repurchase: I will in a lighter shade.

Maybelline Affinitone Concealer - loved this one as well. Really nice coverage and it stayed in place the whole day.

Repurchase: Maybe.

Oriflame Tea Tree Concealer - this had two sides to it, one green and one normal colour. Unfortunately I did not like it, this is the only thing from Tea tree range that I didn't like.

Repurchase: No.

Nivea Original Creme - thick cream that is perfect for dry skin. My boyfriend loves it and he has very dry skin. It's really nice, plus the scent of Nivea products is amazing :)

Repurchase: Yes in the future.

Avon Glimmerstick Eyeliner - black - love this glimmersticks eyeliners, they're easy to use and don't smudge on me. I always use them for tightlining my lashes.

Repurchase: I will yes.

Catrice Glam & Doll Sparkling Lashes Mascara - loved this mascara so much. It was a sparkling version of glam & doll mascara, but didn't have many sparkles. I love it for the volume it gives to my lashes and it separates them nicely.

Repurchase: I did, but the regular glam & doll version.

Avon Colortrend Lipstick - not sure of the name, but it was a dark vampy violet shade. Loved the shade for autumn, but unfortunately it broke. Plus I had it for quite a while so it was time for it to go.

Repurchase: Not available anymore.

Essence Lipstick - also don't know the name, sorry. It was a pinky shade and I don't really enjoy pink shades on my lips, I think they don't flatter me at all. I had it for a long time, so it was time to throw it in the trash.

Repurchase: No.

Aloa Lipbalm - don't know the brand, I think I got it as a gift with purchase. I didn't like it, it was very hard and basically did nothing to my lips.

Repurchase: No.

Regenerate Advanced Toothpaste - this toothpaste was actually really nice. I liked it, however I have problems with bleeding gums and that's why I always use Parodontax toothpaste.

Repurchase: No.

Playboy Perfume - my boyfriend bought me this one and I did enjoy the scent. I also think the design of the bottle is really cute :)

Repurchase: No, I like to try different perfumes.

Oriflame Powershine Lip Crayon - Glazed Strawberry - for the life of me I couldn't sharpen this crayon. I think it was suppose to be an automatic one, but it doesn't work on mine.. Not sure what happened there :D I did like the shade though.

Repurchase: No.

Avon Lipstick Sample - Warm Honey - loved this brown shade.

Purchase: Maybe.

Uniq Perfume Sample - 25 - I didn't enjoy this one, too strong for me.

Purchase: Nop.

Oriflame Eyelash Curler - I like this curler, does the job.

Repurchase: I did yes.

And that's all guys, we finally came to the end :D I did use up a lot, and I'm really happy about that :)

Have a lovely day <3

Empties #25

Hey guys :)

Another month, another bag of empty products ;)

Let's start, shall we :)

Avon Senses Lily Of The Valley & Apple Shower Creme - I really enjoyed the light scent of this shower gel, but it was too thick, so it was hard to squeeze it out of the bottle.

Repurchase: Maybe if it's on sale.

Balea Rasiergel Pink Grapefruit - I always buy Balea shaving creams because they work great and they're really affordable.

Repurchase: Different scent.

Balea Reinigungstucher - really affordable cleansing wipes that come handy when I'm too lazy to remove my makeup properly :P

Repurchase: Definitely.

Oriflame Apple & Cinnamon Soap Bar - this was actually last year's limited edition soap bar for around holidays. It was in a shape of an apple and I really loved the strong spicy scent.

Repurchase: It was limited edition.

Oriflame Love Nature Creamy Mask - oat mask for dry skin. I used it because my skin always has some dry patches in the winter even though it's otherwise quite oily. It felt good and my skin was softer after using it, but I didn't notice anything else.

Repurchase: Maybe.

Essence Studio Nails Nail Polish Corrector Pen - love these corrector pens because you can simply fix your nail polish or your cuticles.

Repurchase: I have one from Avon currently, but then yes I will because this one's cheaper :P

Elf Nail Polish (Innocent) - this was my favourite nude nail polish. I think I did post a few manicure with it, here's one to see what it looked like: click.

Repurchase: No, just because I have too many nail polishes :)

Essence Mono Eyeshadow 15 Hazel Me Not! - this was amazing matte eyeshadow, perfect for the crease!

Repurchase: No, because I have too many shadows.

Sex In The City (Can Can) Spray - my boyfriend bought me this one I think for my birthday. Enjoyed the scent but it didn't last very long on me unfortunately.

Purchase: No.

Kasako Peel Off Base Coat - bought it on Ebay. Unfortunately it became too thick before I could even use it :D

Repurchase: Definitely not.

Essence Studio Nails Ultra Strong Nail Hardener - since I started using it my nails have become stronger so I'm using it every single time I'm doing my nails :D

Repurchase: I did already.

That's it guys for this month. Hope you're having a lovely day!
Best,
Katja
