Winter Empties part1

 Hi! I have a lot of empties to show that's why I will divide the into 2 parts.

SAKURA BATH BOMB-LUSH

pic from lush.uk

I really like this scent but in the bath it didn’t last more than 15 minutes . It wasn’t strong and it didn’t stay on my skin. 

Would I buy this again? No. Sorry Lush but I need something stronger in my bath ritual.

CLINIQUE- ALMOST POWDER MAKEUP IN 03 Light

Yes! A makeup item! I had this for more than 2 years.  This is very good product with spf 15. I really enjoyed it but now I am ready for something else.

Would I buy this again? No. This was the second time I bought this and now I use the loose powder from Clinique which I like better.

LATHERS AND LIGHTS TRIPLE SUGAR SCRUB (the big one)

I love these scrubs  and the scents! It’s scrubby , it rinses clean and my skin doesn’t feel dry after using it. I wish I had 100 tubs stock lol.

Would I buy this again? Definitely. Even the same scents. Other products too,  mainly in Warlock and Little Shop in Terror. 

FRESH LINE SAMPLE IN ATHENA REPLENISHING AND ANTIOXIDANTE DAY CREAM

I love Fresh line but their skincare doesn’t always suit me. Their line for combination skin isn’t enough for my skin and after using it I felt dry. This one was better.

Would I buy this again? I don’t know. Maybe I will ask for another sample.

NUXE CRÈME FRAICHE DAY CREAM AND SERUM

I really liked this combination serum and day cream.  I will post a detailed review soon!

Would I buy this again? I already did (both!) but I chose the day cream for normal skin instead the light one  because the one for oily to combination felt dry.

COCOA PINK GLISSADE IN NAUGHTY PUMPKIN

I am a huge fun of Cocoa Pink’s pumpkin scents. Naughty Pumpkin is not an exception.  Glissade  it’s s silicone free anti- frizz styling product. Actually, I prefer the Anti-frizz serum but this is quite good too.

Would I buy this again? Maybe. I bought Anti-frizz recently and given the time that it takes me to finish a product like this ( I don’t use styling products every day maybe once a week and just a tiny amount) I don’t think it would be soon.

AVON COMPLETE BALANCE DAY AND NIGHT CREAM (only the night cream in the pic)

I have tried a lot of Avon’s skincare and the majority of them is pretty good. You can buy them a lot of time in discount or you pay the day cream and they give you the nighhtcream for free etc. I have bought the balance set a couple of time and it’s your standard day cream, it moisturizes enough and has spf as well. The night cream is in a gel form and when you put this on it feels like water. I don’t like the night cream now. At first I did but I want to try something else.

Would I buy this again? No, but I recommend this set for people from 18 to 25. It works great for men too!

My February empties!

1)  Korres- POMEGRANATE

MOISTURISING CREAM-GEL

For oily to combination skin , 16ml

This was included in a sample set with other products in the pomegranate range. I really like this. It’s a light enough for combination skin like mine but it doesn’t dry out mu skin. It hasn’t spf  in it and I used it as a night cream or when I stayed at home all day!

2) Cocoa pink- Voluptuous body butter in Tihota type 2.75oz

I love this moisturizer! It’s not greasy but it sinks in fast. Perfect for winter and for dry legs!

The scent is light but it stays all day on my skin. It’s like a slightly toast vanilla.

It worked well with most of my perfumes too!

3) Bptp bath oil  decant 1oz- L'EAU DE L'ENGOUEMENT

I talked about it here

4) Apivita- Purifying Tonic Lotion for Oily/Combination Skin with propolis and citrus.

I love this lotion and I have already bought another one!

5) Flutterby beauty scrub in Lavender mint cupcake.

 Flutterby beauty was one of the companies that I was a regural customer in the past and I was so sad when she closed! I think this is the negative aspect to homemade products. Often the decide to close without notice…

This scent is lovely and I still have a little bit left from the perfume mist and the body oil.

6) Lathers and Lights Wicked Witch sugar scrub.

This is a spicy apple scent.

The scrub itself it’s moisturising without leaving an oily film to the skin.

It’s dense and scrubby. Very good!

7) Apivita- Anti-aging and energising shampoo with citrus and honey.

I liked this shampoo but I prefer others from their range. This one has SLS in it which I try to avoid as it is bad for the hair and I have noticed that I have healthier hair from the moment that I stopped using this ingredient.

8) Apivita tonic lotion with mastic and rose 1.7 oz

This one was a freebie with an order. I didn’t like it at all. It smell bad and it didn’t do anything to my skin.

9) RENE FURTERER- moisturising milk shampoo

This one was a sample too. I really like it. It felt so good in my hair but this also has SLS.

In addition to the "bad" ingredient it also has: safflower oil, carthamus oil, soybean oil, sweet orange oil etc So, maybe the SLS balances with all the beneficial ingredients. Who knows?

Here were my empties! Thanks for reading!

Scent of the day-26-

Guys, I don’t only love perfumes but everything scented. Soaps, body butters, body oils, hair conditioners, body mists, scrubs. I love scrubs!

Today, I used a body oil from  Cocoa Pink.

The scent? Marshmallow Pumpkin

Generally, I love marshmallow scents. Even straight up marshmallow

I love this scent. It is sweet and snuggly. This can make you smell eatable for a long time. I usually use it before I go to bed. It calms me.

It isn’t as complex as other perfume oils but simplicity isn’t always a bad thing…

I don’t know if I will ever purchase this in a perfume form as the body oil does the trick but I am definitely buying a second bottle because I am almost out!

The price for this is incredible 5.5usd for 2oz!

It takes its time to be fully absorbed by the skin but who cares? I am going nowhere today. The buses are still on strike and I am feeling a little bit isolated in my small town.

My first empties post!

I’ ve seen a lot of bloggers and youtubers making post like this and I’ve always enjoy watching them. So, I thought to make one too! In December I didn’t finish so many products but here are the ones I did!

1)      Avon, complete balance oil-free foaming cleanser

I really like this product and it’s the second bottle I finish. It’s not a miracle product but it does the job!

It’s a foaming cleanser so it’s super easy to use and removes all the dirt from my face.

To be franc, I am using all the other products for this range. The day cream and the night cream. If you have a combination skin type I definitely recommend these products. They are cheap and they work. At least for me!

2)      Apivita, Shampoo for oily hair with propolis and rosemary.

I love Apivita. It’s one of my favorite companies! Sometimes, when I run out from my indie shampoo and conditioners I buy from them. It’s nice to have a local brand you trust. Isn’t it?

This one is made with 97% natural ingredients. It’s not harsh with the hair at all. I have oily roots sometime and this totally helps! I don’t have a major problem thought so I can’t comment of how it perform in very oily hair. I have bought it many times, I can’t even remember…

I really like the scent too. It’s a bergamot and rosemary scent. It doesn’t stay on my hair but I use scented conditioners.

If you haven’t tried Apivita shampoos you are missing big time!

3)      Lathers and Lights, Pumpkin harvest sugar scrub

I bought the pumpkin set this Halloween and this was included. Sea butter, pumpkinseed oil and extract, sunflower oil and cocoa butter are some of the ingredients she used. This is a moisturizing scrub and feels very good to the skin.

The notes of the scent were: Pumpkin, earth ,mist. I don’t get  earthy notes just pumpkin.

I really liked the scrub formula but I like other scents of hers best.

4)      Shine+ in Black Vanilla

This was a very generous sample from my Halloween order. I really liked the product and the scent! I love her black scents in general. I think that her black is a mixture of ambers. I got a lot of compliments when I wore this conditioner too!

5)      Lathers and Lights, Pumpkin Noel Body Cream

Another item from my Halloween sample set!  This has aloe vera, pumpkin seed  oil and kokum butter among other ingredients. I really like the texture of this! It moisturized my body very well! I used it after the pumpkin scrub. Then I used my marshmallow Pumpkin body oil from Coacoa Pink and then this. The scent it;s light but after all these products I smelled edible! Of course I have a pumpkin perfume to go with all these! Pumpkin Peeps from Possets!
