Products I’ve used up – EMPTIES #3

post-title

I recently discovered that my usual empties bag was overflowing and realised that I need to write empties blog post as soon as possible. I don’t like when empties blog posts are too long, because I want to describe every product well and explain why I like it or don’t like it. So today in this empties blog post I have a lot to share with you, there is some makeup, skin care, body care, fragrances and hair care. Let’s start with this blog post.

MAKEUP and NAIL CARE

Gulsak nail polish remover
I personally really like these nail polish removers, I used up many of them already. They are affordable, easy to use and they don’t smell bad. I already repurchased another one, it’s purple Gulsak nail polish remover.
Rate – 4/5

Pupa Pupart eyeshadow palette (003)
I liked this palette before, but now it is not used in my collection at all. I liked some of these pinky shades, but brown cool tones I didn’t really use. This is good basic palettes, but there is so many better ones that are even cheaper than this one.
Rate – 3/5

Essence Be my highlight eye shadow palette
This was super limited eye shadow palette from Essence. These are holographic shades that you can use as highlighters or eye shadows. These are not my favourite shades to wear honestly, so I didn’t use them a lot.

Max Factor 2000 calories mascara
I know that this mascara is really popular, but honestly I don’t like this one at all. This is just not great mascara in my opinion, it dries in a few days, it smudges and it is a really dry formula. It also doesn’t make that great look on my lashes. Would not repurchase this one.
Rate – 2/5

Catrice Brow colorist brow mascara
I loved this product a lot. This is great eye brow mascara and I would totally repurchase this one. But I think they discontinued this one. I’m currently using Essence brow gel and it is good, but not as good as this one.
Rate – 4/5

 

Essence lip liner (Big proposal)
I usually like Essence lip liners, but this one was quite dry and hard to apply. Also it kept breaking and I would need to sharpen it all the time. I got so frustrated with this one that I stopped using it and I’m throwing more than half of it.
Rate – 2/5

Eveline Calcium milk nail treatment
I usually like Eveline nail treatments. I think they changed the formula, because this one doesn’t work for me anymore. It didn’t make my nails any stronger, so it was pretty much useless to use.
Rate – 2/5

Essence Too glam to give a damn eye shadow palette
Packaging of thise Essence palette is really pretty. I used this palette a few times, but not enough to keep it in my collection. I used dark green eye shadow few times for really intense night time eye looks and I liked it. This is a good palette, but it doesn’t have much use in my collection.
Rate – 3/5

Manhattan Soft compact powder (Vanille)
I really like Manhattan powders. I used three different formulas of this powder and I liked all of them. Honestly Manhattan does really great makeup products and usually I like all of their products. I think only two of them were not my favourite, but mostly I really liked Manhattan makeup.

A collection of empty makeup and skincare products, the silent heroes of our daily beauty routines

SKIN CARE

Avon Planet Spa The Freshness ritual gel moisturiser 2X
This is one of my favourite moisturisers from Avon. This one is great, super light on skin and makes skin really glowy. Avon Planet Spa moisturiser also gives nice hydration and it makes skin really soft and smooth. I will probably repurchase it again in future.
Rate – 4/5

Cera di cupra toner
Cera di Cupra is a great brand, I really like their products. I love how gentle this one is and it makes skin look radiant, glowy and hydrated. This is one of my favourite toners and I go back to it a lot. I already bought a new one.
Rate – 5/5

Alverde calendula lip balm
This is my favourite stick lip balm. I love this one because it really makes my lips soft and smooth. I don’t know how many of these I used up, but I’m sure there are more than 10. I really love this lip balm, I already bought a new one that I currently use.
Rate – 5/5

Pharmamed calendula balm
This is a great product to have in skin care stash. I love using this one for my lips when they are dry and sore. Also this one works great for skin problems, like wounds or burns. I need to repurchase this one, I definitely need it in my collection.
Rate – 5/5

Revuelle SOS spot treatment gel
I quite like this spot gel, it is just useful to have in skin care collection. It won’t make blemishes completely go away, but it will help them heal faster. I will repurchase this one
again for sure.
Rate – 4/5

 

Olival serum with vitamin C
This one was a great serum. It is probably the best vitamin C serum that I ever used. It is quite expensive, but it is definitely worth the money. I will for sure repurchase this one in the future.
Rate – 5/5

L’OReal Revitalift laser X3 eye cream
This was great eye cream. It worked great for me and my skin care routine. I probably wouldn’t repurchase this one because it is quite expensive and for the money I paid I had better eye creams. This one is good, but it is not amazing.
Rate – 3/5

Cotton soft cotton pads
These are my favourite cotton pads, I always buy these. I already have two packs that I bought. These are great cotton pads, affordable and great quality.
Rate – 5/5

Deep Fresh Micellar makeup removing wipes
I recently discovered these makeup removing wipes and I really like them. They work great for days when I’m really tired and I want to easily remove the first layer of makeup. I already bought a new pack of these wipes.
Rate – 4/5

Delia RetinoAge sleeping mask
This was a great product. I really enjoyed using this sleeping mask and I know that I’ll repurchase it again in future. This is a great product to use if you don’t regularly use retinol in your skin care routine.
Rate – 5/5

Eveline Japan Essence illuminating face cream
This was a nice daily cream, it smelled great and it worked really well for my skin care routine. This cream works great in the morning as a primer for makeup and I enjoyed using it like that. I would probably repurchase this cream again.

An array of empty body care, hair products, and fragrances, a testament to the fragrant and pampered moments in life

HAIR CARE

Ziaja smoothing hair serum (argan & tsubaki oils)
This was a great daily hair serum and I enjoyed using it. This makes hair really soft and smooth and it is light enough to use a few times, before washing hair as it won’t make it oily. This is great for me for daily sleek back hair. I already bought another one.
Rate – 4/5

Balea Silber glanz (purple shampoo)
This is great simple purple shampoo. It is not intense as some purple shampoos are, it won’t make your hair purple or grey, so for me it is great. I would buy this one again for sure.
Rate – 4/5

Cameleo Collagen & biotin hair mask
This wasn’t my favourite hair mask. It was too thin in texture, it didn’t make my hair look amazing after. So I would never buy this one again as it didn’t impress me at all. It is a good hair mask, but nothing amazing, so I wouldn’t recommend it.
Rate – 2/5

FRAGRANCES and CANDLE

Apollo Aroma candle
I didn’t like this candle at all. It was scented, but I didn’t feel the scent in the room while it was burning. Also it burned really quickly and wax didn’t melt evenly. I would not buy this one again.
Rate – 2/5

Tesori d’Oriente AFRICA fragrance
This is one of my favourite Tesori d’Oriente fragrances. I love the scent of it, it is sweet, spicy and seductive. This one lasts long on skin and clothes and it is definitely a good fragrance for fall/winter time. I already purchased a new one.
Rate – 5/5

Brait Juicy sunset home perfume
I love having room sprays because I use them to refresh my wardrobe and make my clothes smell good all the time. I love how citrus and fun this scent is. It is sweet, smells like orange and lemon. It is great to refresh the wardrobe, it doesn’t make it dirty or oily and it lasts a long time. I will buy it again.
Rate – 5/5

Katty Perry Royal revolution body mist
I started using body mists recently and I quite like them. They are great for daily use and lighter than regular fragrances. I liked this one, but it wasn’t amazing. I wouldn’t buy this one again, because it is not totally my scent.
Rate – 3/5

 

BODY CARE

Delia Cosmetics SOS relief protection hand cream
I always need good hand cream in my collection. This one is nice, very lightweight and easy to throw on. I like to use it throughout the day while I’m working because it absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave oily residue.
Rate – 4/5

Balea MED Ultra Sensitive body lotion
I got a terrible eczema rash a few months ago and it took me some time to get rid of it. After my body healed I had to use really simple products to maintain my skin and condition it, so I
got this very simple Balea body lotion for that. I really liked this one, it is super simple and it gives nice, light hydration. I would buy it again.
Rate – 4/5

Deep Fresh Amber wet wipes
I always have small wet wipes in my bag on the go. You always need wet wipes to wipe something, so for me they are a must have. I love these oriental ones, they smell amazing and clean hands really well. I already bought another pack.
Rate – 5/5

Colgate Max White Charcoal toothpaste
I only use Colgate Max white toothpaste. I like these a lot, but also different colours and variations of these. Charcoal one is one of my favourites, I feel like it really polishes my teeth really well. I already bought another one.
Rate – 5/5

Cera di Cupra hand cream
I love Cera di Cupra hand creams. They are really intense in hydration and they work great in colder months or when my hands are really dry. I used up three of these already and I already bought a new one. This is probably my favourite hand cream, I really love it.
Rate – 5/5

Giggles wet wipes
I always have a big pack of wet wipes inside the house, so I can use it when I do my makeup or clean makeup products. I liked these, they worked well. I would probably buy these again. Currently I’m using different ones, but I would go back to these in future.
Rate – 4/5

Tesori d’Oriente Byzantium body cream
I love Tesori d’Oriente as a brand and I love using their products. I liked this body cream, it made my skin super soft and smooth. Also it gives a beautiful scent to the whole body, so it is a great option for date night. When you use this body cream you don’t need to apply fragrance, because you smell amazing. I would definitely repurchase this one.
Rate – 4/5

 

Afrodita argan hand cream
I like Afrodita as a brand, they have some amazing products. I liked this hand cream, it worked nice and it was good for daily use. I bought the same hand cream, but coconut version, because I wanted to switch it out. I like both of them, I think I’ll continue to use these hand creams.
Rate – 4/5

Rexona Sexy bouquet deodorant
I liked this deodorant, but honestly I like Dove deodorants more. Dove deodorants are just more gentle and they smell better in my opinion. I still liked this one, I might get it in the future, but I’m not sure. This one smelled great, but didn’t last the whole day on me.
Rate – 3/5

Vaseline Advanced repair unscented body lotion
This is one more lotion that I used to take care of my skin after eczema rash. This one is great, it is heavy duty and it really deeply moisturises the body well. I would definitely buy this one again. I love that it is 400 ml and it lasts long and love how balmy it is and how nice skin feels after using it.
Rate – 4/5

Bioderma Atoderm Intensive pain soap
I got this soap as a recommendation from a dermatologist to use as a body wash after my eczema rash. I personally don’t like this one, I feel like it is drying and it is not as fun as some body washes that I used before. But again, it is very gentle and I see that it doesn’t irritate my skin and it washes my skin well. I like using this one daily, but I moisturise my body well after.
Rate – 3/5

Ziaja Antioxidation acai berry satin body mousse
This was an amazing product. I love the texture of this body cream. This one is amazing, it smells amazing, makes skin super soft and smooth and texture is like nothing I ever used before. I love this one and I will definitely buy it again.
