The last post was more of a declutter than an empties post, but in this one there are a lot of products that I actually used up. A few of the products are old and I'm decluttering them.
I never really used primers but when I did, I reached for these two. I liked both of them, Oriflame's was just a bit better. Oriflame's looks like it contains shimmer but I never noticed it on my skin. Lotique's was thicker in texture but still very light. They applied evenly and gave the skin a slight sheen.
I like this one in summer because it sets the makeup well. It does feel a bit tight when you spray it on the face but it does a great job at keeping the face matte for a while. I don't usually like the matt look, I prefer a dewy natural finish, but in summer my skin needs this product. I think I still have a backup bottle somewhere.
I liked the idea of this and the packaging is cute but I never got around to use it. It's a nice powder though, I have nothing bad to say about it, I just prefer translucent powders when it comes to loose ones.
A powder that I have repurchased many times. I switch between this one and Essence Compact Powder, sometimes I like the first one better and sometimes the other way around. They are both great and cheap.
This is an old favourite. The shade was too light for me when I got some tan, but otherwise it was okay. It came with a huge sponge applicator that I loved but it's not really sanitary. It was a very lightweight formula that I really liked but now I found better ones (like Oriflame's Illuskin Aquaboost Foundation).
I had this one my WL for a very long time and then I didn't even use it up. I did like it, it has a really creamy formula that blends well into the skin but I just didn't reach for it.
Again, an old favourite but I'm pretty sure it clogged my pores. Now that I found very good and lightweight foundations I don't even miss it. There was a time when I thought about getting another tube but I'm glad I didn't because it's overpriced.

This is more of a declutter than an empties post. While writing this post, I realized that I used to love all of these products, some of these were my favourites back in the days when I just started blogging but are now old and just sitting in my drawers.
I really liked this palette but I just don't reach for it and it takes quite a bit of space in my drawer. The highlighter didn't really show up on my skin but I really liked the blush shades, especially the middle one. I do have some similar shades in my collection, so I rather give the palette to someone else that would use it.
I got two of these Avon's pearls and I used to love them. Now they look a little bit too shimmery for me. I'm still going to keep the darker one to use in summer but this one is a bit too light for me to use as a bronzer.
I used to use this a lot, I love peachy-orangey shades on me when I have some tan. This is just old now, so I'm throwing it away.
I used this so much but now it's gotten quite old and I don't want to use it on my face anymore. I do have a replacement that is pretty similar, these highlighting drops from L.O.V.
Some time ago, I went through my nail polish stack and I got rid of these two. Since I haven't worn nail polish in weeks, or even months now, I need to go through them again because I just don't need them. The first one, Do You Speak Love, I repurchased many times, I loved this shade of red on me. This line from Essence is long discontinued now. The other one was part of the Christmas trend edition a few years back. I mostly kept it for the cute bottle but I didn't use it.

I talk about GlinaSi products all the time on my blog, so I'm just going to do a quick review of their new product. If you don't know them yet, they are a slovenian brand and they make clay products. Clay is great for the skin because it's natural and full of minerals. I'm going to talk about a clay mask. These are good for cleansing the skin because they have a lot of benefits for the skin and they absorb the oil. You can find a few versions of them on the website, I'm not certain but I think I have tried all of them, even though I always went back to the original grey one, because it doesn't have a scent. I get migraines, so I'm sensitive to strong scents and I just prefer neutral or subtle scents.
First part of the makeup products that I used up, this time eye and brow products.
Mascaras
Most of these are some of the best mascaras that I have used. Last year I really found a lot of good ones. I made reviews for all of these on the photo, so I won't go into detail, I will leave links, so you can just click on the name of the mascara that you are interested in and read a whole review with photos of how they look like on my lashes.
I only used one product in this chunky packaging, so I was glad when I finally used it up because it was just taking a lot of space in my drawer. You can see which shade I used, it's a close match for my brows, it looks lighter but the undertone is perfect. I haven't found anything similar for now. The other pans were useless to me and I didn't use them.
Revolution Eye Primer
I think I got this one in an advent calendar. I have used it a couple of times and I liked it but I rarely use eye primers anyway.
Essence Eyeliner Pen
I have repurchased probably ten or more of these, I have been buying them since my high school years. The eye liner is cheap and does the work well. It's black and it doesn't smudge, bleed or fade.
I was saving this one for a special occasion that never came and now it's just old. I really like the shade but it's not something that I would wear on a daily basis.
This is perfect for beginners. It has a very fine tip, so you can be precise. The colour is great for me, it's just like the name suggests, a cool brown shade. It's creamy and it gets used up quickly but for the price and how much I use it these days, I won't complain.

I didn't buy much lately, I get a lot of products to test and I don't feel a need to buy more myself. So this new in post is dedicated to some products I received in December, except for one product.
This is the last skincare empties post for a while, the next few will be makeup products that are old or I just wanted to get rid off.
As I said in my last post, I divided my empty products into sections, the last time I talked about face products and this time I will talk about haircare. It happened that these are all my favourites (except for one) that I will repurchase or I already repurchased.
Kérastase Elixir Ultime Beautifying Oil Masque
I really liked this hair mask but I think you can find similar ones a lot cheaper. I think this costs over 30€ (mine is a sample size) and it feels just as the Pantene conditioner/mask or something similar. I would repurchase but it's too expensive for my budget and I can find similar products cheaper.
Langhaadmädchen Instense Repair Shampoo
I found this on the clearance section in DM a couple of months ago. I have seen a lot of rave reviews about this brand and because it was a small bottle I decided to try it. It took me a while to test it but when I realised how good it is, I couldn't find it in out DMs anymore. They only had two products from this brand every time I was searching for this shampoo but now I've seen that they have a bit more in their online store, even though they don't have the same line. The shampoo was pretty similar to my all-time favourite L'Oreal Extraordinary Oil, I think I actually liked it even more. It's creamier than L'oreal, it manages to clean my hair well but it doesn't stip it down. I feel that I don't even need a conditioner after because it nourishes my hair well but not too much. The combination with the conditioner (that I still have a bit left and I save for rainy days apparently) from the same line was impressing.
Olaplex Hair Perfector No.3
I know this product is mostly for coloured and bleached hair but I really liked it because I noticed that it manages to tame the frizz in my hair. Now that my hair is not as dry as it was a few years back, I don't need it anymore, the Langhaarmädchen products, as well as the Pantene conditioners, work just as well, or even better, for a lot cheaper.
Dove Oil Care Nährpflege Shampoo
Also, one of my favourites but this one is for very dry hair, I did notice my hair became greasier quicker when I used this one but it's perfect when my hair is feeling very dry. I like to use it after I have used a very cleansing shampoo.
Pantene Pro-V Repair & Care Conditioner
Again, a very good conditioner, also for those with dry hair. I used it about every other time when I washed my hair but I actually prefer Langhaarmädchen one. I still have some backups from Pantene but from a different line.
Balea Med Ultra Sensitive Shampoo
This is one of the best products that I bought this year and it was only 2,19€. A few months after I stopped taking BC, I got horrible dandruff that I couldn't get rid of. I tried some expensive shampoos that didn't work or just helped a bit but with this one, I got rid of dandruff for good. One thing that was very important to me, was that it can't be too drying on the hair and it's not at all. I use it as a first shampoo to clean the scalp and then follow with a more nourishing shampoo. I already repurchased a few bottles.
