January empties
Most of the products, I finished last month, are cleaning accessories and there are few skin care and a makeup product too. So, here's the list of them with mini reviews.
1. Ysl touche eclat: this could be termed as the star product of the list - not just for the quality but also because I like it when I finish up a makeup product 😁. I came across wonderful reviews of this product and I was quite intrigued even before buying it, but I never really planned on purchasing it. I picked it when I had to choose 3 products on 3 for 2 offer in Paris Marionnaud. Initially, I was only using it on extra dressy days and eventually it became regular - how else am I supposed to finish it within its shelf life of 6 months😓 (not that I did)? This was my first highlighter and, even though I dont have any frame of reference, I could tell its quite good. It looks especially well in photos and gives a light concealing effect too. I got a clinique high-lighter in sample size which I will not open until some special occasion.
2. Sephora Lip balm: I liked this container more than the content😜. The balm is not the most hydrating one but it is good enough and it got a bit of tint with slight shimmer. Though it isn't bad, I definitely had better. I am currently using my all time favorite Maybelline baby lips in the morning and the new favorite Nuxe Reve de miel lip balm in the evening.
3. L'action face mask: It might look like a small sachet, but it gave me 4 uses. It is last of my Laction masks😢. I love a good scrub followed by a nice mud mask during weekend and the extra clean feel it gives. While going through my suitcase, I found another Montagne Jeunesse sachet and I guess it lasts for a month too (it's fine if it don't, I can't wait to start with my other masks😊).
4. Elixir toner: I got it as part of my envy box. I am not exactly sure why but I am not quite impressed with this toner🤐. I usually don't get any noticeable changes with any toner and this one didn't cause anything bad to happen to my skin, but for some reason I did not quite like it. Anyway, I am currently using Kama Ayurveda vetiver water mixed with some apple cider vinegar and TBS tea tree drops. I would like to continue this concoction, however, I am considering to use Caudalie beauty elixir instead⏳.
5. Engage pocket perfume: the packaging is quite convenient to carry around and use for quick fresh up, the fragrance is quite good too. However, this is my second bottle and I am kind of getting bored😌. I wanted to use my bath and body works mist, but they are quite bulky to carry around. Need to figure out what to do about this category next🤔.
6. Kara nail polish remover wipes: these boxes are super handy as removing the chipped nail polish always slips my mind. I keep one in my bag and, whenever I notice that my nails needs some cleaning, I can pull out a wipe and be done with it😎. Its so convenient, sometimes even at home, I use them instead of regular remover.
7. Kara facial wipes: Not exactly my favorite - the fragrance is bit too strong and, as I normally use wipes when I am too tired to wash my face, the smell lingers for a while. However, I don't exactly have many options and the only alternative is to avoid wipes and go through the regular cleansing routine even when I am tired😪 (which is a good practice too). Anyway, I got tea tree wipes from TBS site and I am liking them a lot better (though I wish I have access to all those cool options available in other countries).
8. Bella cotton pads: I go through a lot of these as I would be needing them for removing makeup and apply toner regularly. Can't exactly call them my favorite but again the only affordable option I have access to🤑. Moreover, they might not be as good as the oval pads from Wilko, but definitely better than those from Tesco.
Not so many interesting products but I am keeping my streak and none of the products are getting wasted👼.
