Essie collection



Essie is by far my favorite nail polish brand.
Initially price tag kept me away from them. And one fine day, while browsing superdrug store online, found one shade on half price. That's how I met my first Essie nail polish - haute in the heat.


I instantly took a liking - application is quite smooth, the finish is glossy and lasted good one week without any chipping. Ever since, all my nail polishes from other brands got totally ignored and whenever I see Essie nail polishes on offer, they go into the cart.


Mint apple candy is the next buy from Essie. It was in my wish list even before I got my hands on my first Essie polish. I bought mint apple candy along with lapiz of luxury on a most common offer, 2 for 12£, from boots and it became one of my summer favorites. 
Cashmere collection next caught my eye - the matte finish and the colors seemed quite unique. However, couldn't find them in any of the stores. After a long research, picked 2 from superdrug website. Unfortunately, the collection I looked forward to so much, didn't deliver quite well. Even though the colors are interesting, it started chipping within hours of application. 😑😫

Regardless my love for the brand continued, only bit more cautiously. 
When I found few of them on half price on superdrug website, few weeks before I left London, I bought quite a few - for myself, my mom and my friend.

July Empties

Another single month list 😊 1. Lacto Calamine cleansing wipes: these cleansing wipes are quite handy on a warm day outing or hectic day quick makeup removal. These wipes are as effective as the expensive brands.  2. L’Oréal lipstick - spring rosette: after lot of search for medium pink colour, I found this shade. Until then it’s either berry or mauve or barbie doll pinks. Texture is okay - definitely need exfoliation and moisturiser.  3. Khadi Saffron shampoo: my old favourite 🤩. 4. Clinique take the day off makeup remover balm: this one is so bulky that, even with regular use, couldn’t complete even half of the box before expiration. I used it to clean brushes and blenders. It is excellent for both makeup removal and cleansing as well. 5. OPI nail polish - you don’t know Jacques!: I didn’t realise when I bought this that I already have 2-3 bottles of similar Color😊. It’s a slightly dark mauve colour. The bottle is quite bulky and last more than 2 years, so at the end it be...

February Empties

Most products emptied in this list don't have too many backups - too bad there aren't any makeup products. Nevertheless, I had a good long use of them and enjoyed using them. 1. L'occitane body & strength shampoo: this is like aromatherapy in a bottle making every shower a spa experience. Original price is 19 GBP, but on purchase of 35 GBP, i could buy 3 bottles of shampoo or conditioner from selected rage for 10 GBP each. The same offer was available in Paris too with Euros making it even more economical. The Shampoo is colorless with neither too thick nor too thin consistency. It doesn't lather too much but leaves the scalp clean without making the stresses dry. Still I developed the habit of using conditioner regularly. I bought herbal essence shampoo unwilling to shell out thrice the price to re-purchase this. However, if my luggage permits, I will not hesitate to pick this on my next euro trip. 2. Bumble and Bumble invisible hair oil: this is one of the b...

Nov and Dec Empties

This list have a variety of products - skincare, hair care, make up and nails. Almost half are make up products - I always find it difficult to finish up makeup products😅.  1. Bioderma BB cream: I like make up products from skin care brands and French pharma brands. This one is both🥰. They don't have many shades - just 2 or 3. Thankfully I found a match. As bb creams are, this one doesn't provide heavy coverage. Even though I spend most of day in air conditioned space, I also spend good time walking in sun and this one stays well. It is not currently available in India😔, whenever I get access to it, I will definitely re purchase this one. 2. Mac eye pencil: this my second one and I was hoping to utilise it for back to Mac (which is no longer available😟). It is not too creamy not rigid. it doesn't stay long, however, il don't fudge at corners as other kohls I used before. Since these empties are no longer recyclable, I will by other brands now🤑. 3. Bonjour Paris eye...
