More products from Brussels

My shopping buddy recently came from Brussels and got me few more products 😍, so thought of continuing my earlier post.

Most of them are from Lush - because of their low shelf life, she got them just before her journey 😊.
Europe isn’t exactly the best place to buy lush products as they are priced higher than in UK or Australia. However, since I don’t have options, I picked few things I badly wanted.

1. Fresh pharmacy: My favourites are herbalism and angels on bare skin, but I like this one too. Moreover it comes with higher shelf life and I finally got the lush tin. BTW the tin is not priced higher in Belgium 🤔.
2. Birth of Venus Jelly face mask: jelly face masks are new addition of Lush. Though  nothing comes close to fresh face masks of Lush, this is quite decent replacement and, of course, with higher shelf life. It’s bit tricky to apply and I didn’t get it right the first time. But after watching couple of videos, I could easily apply. It gives almost same squeaky clean feel of mud mask but less drying.
3. Bubblegum lip scrub: I didn’t use lip scrubs until I got the Clinique lip pot and couldn’t stop loving it. I heard a lot about this Lush lip scrub, but didn’t get to it. Can’t wait for the FE lip scrub to get over so I can open this one 😄.
4. Nuxe lip balms: I got the pot of reve de miel and loving it. I read the stick version is not as good but, because of the ease of use, I wanted it. My friend should get a lot of credit for getting them in 3 for 2 offer - it wasn’t easy to find and she refused to give up (that’s my girl 😘).
5. Original cologne: I was searching for this one when I was in Europe, though not so earnestly. I didn’t ask her for it, but she thoughtfully picked up few in case somebody might want it 💁🏻‍♀️.
6. Clinique chubby stick: I forgot why I liked it so much that I gave up my resolution to not purchase new lip products - even more surprising as I resisted the products I am pining over for a long time. It is going to be a while before I open it as I got a ton of lip products to go through first🙍🏻‍♀️.

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...
