Jan Empties

 Yay!! A monthly list 💃🏻.

1. Kiehl’s line reducing concentrate: I used Kiehl’s midnight recovery serum for quite sometime and loved it. Wanting to try something new I bought a small pack of this concentrate (also because it is quite expensive 🤑). It is a light cream and, while applying, gave some warmth - not sure if it is supposed to 🤔. Can’t say much about line reduction though. For now I will stick with midnight recovery.

2. I’m caffeine face wash: this is a sample pack which I used in my travel pack. I took few vacations in last 6 months and this pack lasted quite a few days despite its size. I love the coffee fragrance, though it didn’t linger long. I don’t think I will purchase this face wash but maybe their body scrub. 

3. NYX lip liner: after I bought (and liked) an eyeliner pencil from NYX, I bought this lip pencil hoping for tge similar smooth texture. However, this was the most rigid lipliner I ever used. I could still work with but very rarely. I like the retractable packaging and color - apart from that nothing much 🤷🏻‍♀️.

4. Sephora eye makeup remover: I bought my first bottle few years ago in Paris and instantly fell in love with it - the trouble I went through to get the 200ml bottle through airport 😅. Not surprising that it made to my shopping list on my next visit and I bought 2 bottles 😊. Will definitely repurchase it.

5. Kerala Ayurveda Neelibringadi keram: I use another hair oil from same brand which comes in smaller pack and gets used up very quickly. This time, in the spirit of being economically responsible (or trying to be 🫣), I bought the budget friendly one. I regretted it initially as it didn’t make my hair as smooth as the other one did and ordered previous one to use when it gets finished. However, half way through the bottle, I started liking it. Will definitely going to buy it next 👍🏻.

I may actually get another standalone list for February as well 🤞🏼.

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

Image
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...
