January Empties




1. Loreal hair spray for colored hair: I bought two Loreal hair sprays from SuperDrug in 1+1 offer. I kept this one since I colored my hair and gave another to my sis. I didn't notice much difference with this spray though. It lasted more than 2 years, however, I don't think I will be buying this again.
2. Aussie hair insurance hair spray: This is slightly more hydrating than the L'oreal spray, not enough for my frizzy hair though. I finished up both hair sprays at same time and don't have any new ones. I thought hair sprays are now easily available in India and they are, only quite expensive. I went back to serums. In addition to John Frieda serum, I have the Kevin Murphy curl enhancing serum. But sprays are easy to use and I want to get another one soon.
3. TBS tea tree wipes: These are the only makeup remover wipes I am using for the last 1 year. I didn't get another pack though - I want to stop lazing with the cleaning process.
4. TBS drops of youth eye serum: This is second tube in a row and I like the packaging very much - quite soothing to roll on the metal ball around the eye. However, I am not impressed enough to pay full price for this. While I am still waiting for my Origins Ginseng eye cream, I couldn't go on without an eye cream, so I bought elder flower eye gel from TBS.
5. Bioderma Hydrabio micellar water: This is the hydrating variant of the 3 and I used it during the winter. While Sensibo is still my favorite and Hydrabio is not hydrating enough to skip the moisturizer, it is a good option for colder climates. Now that the weather is warmer and I have a 500 ml bottle of it, I am switching back to Sensibo.
6. Clinique take the day off make up remover: Bi phase eye and lip makeup remover is better than Neutragena one but not so good as Sephora one. I am getting a balm variant soon, but until then Bioderma micellar has to suffice.
7. Dove deo: I got it as a promotional sample in Stratford tube station.It got a mild fragrance and does its job, however, I prefer roll ons. I thought of getting white musk roll on from TBS, but bought Cinthol one instead.
8. Bath and body works cashmere glow lotion: My favorite fragrance of in all three products. It is my favorite body lotion and not just for winters. Its light but hydrating enough. I bought TBS wild argon body lotion and its almost equally good.
9. Essie nail polish Cozy in Cashmere: While I dint like the matte formula so much, the color is combined favorite of mine and my friend. I most definitely am going to find similar color in different variant even if I have to pay more than I usually would for a nail polish

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...
