December empties
One of my teammates asked how much I am spending on the products I used, so I thought of including the prices in my empties list.
L'Occitane Bonne Marre soap: I got this full size soap as part of travel kit in a pharmacy in Paris for ~15 €. It has a lovely subtle rose fragrance, wont give immense lather but I still liked it. I wont be re-purchasing it though, unless I visit Paris again and then I will get another one of those kits. I thought of using TBS argon oil soap next, but I couldn't find it and opened Bath and body works warm cashmere trio. Unlike the Paris amor trio, all three of this range smells heavenly making my showers longer. The fragrance lingers longer too, I wish they are not so expensive in India.
Chanel Mat Lumiere compact: My very first luxury product came to the end - I got it for ~3300 INR almost 4 years ago, almost twice its suggested shelf life. Initially used sparingly, but half way through I was quite regular with it. While it didn't give a heavy coverage, it gave a light but polished finish to the skin. As much as I like to get it again, there are others I want to try and compacts last very long time - anyway, now that I got the case, I could get a refill for lesser price. I wanted to buy Mac blotting powder, but assuming it isn't available, I bought Makeup revolution banana powder. I wanted to try the famous Ben Rye one, however, I never came across it and then I found this one in Nykaa. Though I regretted a bit when I found the blotting powder in Mac counter along with some new variants, I quite liked this banana powder and I got many compliments from my teammates on how glowing my skin looks.
Origins Out of Trouble mask: for the reviews I heard about Origins masks and the price tag they came with (~3900 INR for a pack of 8 30 ml tubes), I had extremely high expectations from them and a bit disappointed with this and the charcoal variant. Hopefully rose clay one turns out to be better (fingers crossed). However, it is not the one I started with but the L'oreal red algae clay mask which have slight granules in it and probably one of the reasons my skin got better this month.
Clinique turn around night cream: it is a sample product I got when in the free travel kit when I bought the clarifying lotion and lip pot. Its 15 ml pot and lasted more than couple of months - maybe I am not quite regular with it. I don't have any replacement for it, but I will soon be getting Kiehl's midnight recovery oil (thanks Muks). Meanwhile, I became more regular with my Origins Drink-up Intensive overnight mask and so far its my favorite from the kit.
Dirty works coconut body scrub: I absolutely love the tweezers I got from this brand and wanted to try another product from them. So when my TBS scrub got over, I picked this one from Nykaa for ~600 INR (it's currently 500 in amazon). It got very mild granules and didn't dry up the skin while exfoliating, but its not very hydrating to skip body lotion in colder weathers. I don't have another scrub and I missed on TBS offer, else I would have ordered strawberry scrub.
