June and July empties
I didn't have any empties in Apr and May. probably due to my hectic schedule. However, in June and July, I finished up quite a few products.
1. Bioderma Sensibo water: My all time favorite - i still remember how surprised I was when I heard that this is used more as a cleanser than a make-up remover. I used to clean my eyes with oil based remover and face with Bioderma and follow with a face wash. Recently I am using it for eyes as well, though for heavy eye make up and waterproof mascara, it might not be sufficient. I got different variants of this product, sebio and hydrobio and currently using Sebio as I am facing severe breakouts.
2. Bath and Body works cashmere glow body wash: I was quite exited to get the set of lotion, spray and wash with same fragrance for the enhanced effects of layering. However, the body wash always gets finished before others as the spray bottle is bigger than other two and I often skip body lotion. I liked Cashmere glow body wash better than Paris amor as the fragrance of the latter is quite low.
3. Clinique aromatics in Black body wash cream: this is my first body wash in cream consistency. It is a gift from my friend (&shopping buddy) in an attempt to distract me from the work pressure (How chweet💝!!!). The fragrance is mildly musky and just amazing (my friend and I have similar taste in perfumes). Just like Bath and body works, the body wash got over before the spray and now I got 3 sprays from the trios. I am no longer going to use sets until I finish up the sprays and using TBS argon oil soap currently.
4. Lush jelly face mask - the Birth of Venus: it didn't impress me so much as their fresh face masks and I didn't expect them to either. Initially the application felt bit tricky, however, I figured it out almost immediately. I am not very impressed with it though and prefer Montagne Jeunesse masks.
5. Clinique pep-start eye cream: I love the consistency of this eye cream - not to creamy nor too runny. The packaging is cute with the ball like thing which dispenses the product - however, when I push the ball thing back a bit more product comes out, so I always take a tiny bit less. I am currently using TBS drops of youth which have similar ball like applicator which is made of metal which gives a soothing effect while applying.
6. Benefit fake up concealer: my first ever concealer and the only makeup product I bought twice. The concealer is embedded in a balm which is quite moisturizing and make it easy to apply and blend too. I am currently using mac Pro concealer and liking that too. I might get Benefit Boi-ing concealer next.
7. Rimmel exaggerate lip liner 105 under my spell: I got it free of cost from Superdrug by redeeming the points. The shade is of plum color and I quite like the effect it gives when applied below pink lipsticks. I bought another one in 018 addiction, however it is light brown shade and is not giving same outcome as 105.
8. Burt & Bees lip crayon Caroline coast: I bought this from look fantastic thinking its a lip balm, however, it got more pigment to be used as a lip balm and shade is too light for my skin tone to be used as lipstick. In fact my other lipsticks are more moisturizing than this lip crayon. I used to mix it with other lipsticks to get a different shade.
9. Maybelline baby lips: Before beauty blogs and euro trips, the only makeup brand I used was Maybelline. Even though, I got to try a lot more drugstore, mid and high range brands, I didn't find a tinted lip balm I like better than this.
10. Clinique lip crayon whooping watermelon: I thought this tube got over in London, however, I found it somewhere later and checked with my lip brush only to find a lot of product beneath the rim. I applied it over lipstick for an added shine. I am currently using another Clinique lip crayon in shade strawberry which I got as a free sample with one of my purchases. It gives a very light veil of color with some hydration.
11. Rimmel Volumecolorist mascara: After Maybelline, Rimmel became my favorite drugstore brand. This mascara claims to improve the growth of eye lashes, though I have thick lashes already. Still I could see a clear difference after applying this one. I am going to use the Benefit mascara now and super exited for it.
