March Empties

 continuing monthly list💃🏻

1. L’Occitaine almond scrub soap: I am not a big fan of soap scrub but wanted to try L’Occitaine scrub and this one is the least expensive one. The scrub feels a bit abrasive but not very harsh. Though mild soaps are preferred in some scenarios, I like something more intense. It’s not drying and the fragrance is similar to the almond shower gel. 

2. Cinthol deo: this gives a nostalgic feel - this is the brand used by my parents and grand parents. It is a decent anti-perspirant and budget friendly🤑.

3. Bobbi Brown makeup remover: it is a travel size pack and, with regular use, it lasted a little over a month. It did a decent job removing mediums eye makeup, though not as good as the Sephora one.

4. Origins willow herb serum: though it is a serum, it is as heavy as a moisturiser. Despite being a travel pack, it lasted quite long. Though not suitable for humid climates, during winters it could be used instead of a cream moisturiser.

5. Forest essentials conditioner: another travel pack😁. Got it as a complimentary kit from a hotel stay. I liked it so much I bought a full size pack ( not very easy to find😓). It is quite mild and night not be suitable for very dry hair.

6. Bioderma micellar water: this is my all time favorite. It does good job removing face makeup and well suited for sensitive skin. Already in my second bottle.

7. Moroccan oil beach wave mousse: this is one product I was eager to finish. It’s not entirely bad, however, not for regular use and the bottle is gigantic. Also a little amount is quite enough. It doesn’t give any hydration to the hair and adding a serum would result in product overload. Will stick to hair serums going forward😌.

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...
