    Empties #29 (Makeup: Face Products)

    0 comments / beauty

    Empties #29 (Makeup: Face Products)

    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.

    Empties #29 (Makeup: Face Products)

    Oriflame Giordani Gold Youthful Radiance Elixir Primer
    Lotique Face Primer
    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.

    Avon Mark Prep and Set Spray
    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.

    Empties #29 (Makeup: Face Products)

    Essence Cubanita TE Baking & Banana Powder 01 Vivin' La Vida Banana
    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.

    Rimmer Stay Matte Powder
    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.

    Empties #29 (Makeup: Face Products)

    Paese Liquid Powder Double Skin Aqua 20A
    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).

    Colourpop No Filter Matte Concealer Light 16
    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.

    Erborian CC Creme Clair
    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.

    Empties (more of a Declutter) #28 (Makeup: Cheeks and Nails)

    Empties (more of a Declutter) #28 (Cheeks and Nails)

    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.

    Empties (more of a Declutter) #28 (Cheeks and Nails)

    Essence BLUSHplay Sculpting Palette 10 Play It Peach
    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.

    Avon Glow Bronzing Pearls Pink Bronze
    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.

    Essence Nauti Girl 01 Anchors Aweigh! Blush
    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.

    Empties (more of a Declutter) #28 (Cheeks and Nails)

    Beach Glow Fluid 01 Girls Just Wanna Have Sun!
    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.

    Empties (more of a Declutter) #28 (Cheeks and Nails)

    Essence The Gel Nail Polish 14 Do You Speak Love?
    Essence Merry Berry TE 03 Pink and Perfect Nail Polish
    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.

    New Rose Clay Mask from GlinaSi

    1 comment / beauty

    GlinaSi Clay Mask Rose

    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.

    Empties #27 (Eye Makeup)

    0 comments / beauty


    First part of the makeup products that I used up, this time eye and brow products.

    Empties #27 (Eye Makeup)

    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.

    Essence Bye Bye Panda Eyes! Smudge-Proof Volumising & Defining Mascara
    Bourjois Twist Up The Volume Mascara Ultra Black
    Avon True Euphoric Volume & Length Mascara
    Essence I Need a Miracle Volumizing & Strengthening Mascara
    Oriflame OnColour Big Lash Mascara
    Avon Distillery Lash'd Up Mascara


    L.O.V BROWttitude Professional Eyebrow Palette No. 500 Blonde Perfection
    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.

    Avon True Colour Glimmerstick Diamonds Eyeliner in Golden Diamond
    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.

    Catrice Slim'matic Ultra Precise Brow Pencil Cool Brown
    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.

    Thank you for reading!

    Empties #25 and Haircare Favourites

    Empties #25 and Haircare Favourites

    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.

    Empties #25 and Haircare Favourites

    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.

    Empties #25 and Haircare Favourites

    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.

    Empties #25 and Haircare Favourites

    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.

    Empties #25 and Haircare Favourites

    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.

    Empties #25 and Haircare Favourites

    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.
