Hi babes,
There is this thing that's only acceptable amongst beautybloggers. Already guessed what it is? Yes you're right. We're discussing my empties. In case you're still like 'huh? What does she mean?!' I've kept my empty beautyproducts to review for you. YES YOU. The things I do for you... (My mother still asks on a weekly basis if she can please throw it away) Today I'll tell which of these products I would repurchase and why. Let's get started!
The rules
1. We start of with the name of the products of course.
2. We discuss it's status : Repurchase Right Away / Maybe Someday / Nope Nope Nope
3. Reasoning
4. This is a rule for you. Grab a cup of coffee or any other drink because this is going to be a long one.
Bourjois Wake Me Up shower gel - Maybe Someday
Why? It smells really nice, fresh and fruity. It really does wake you up.
Bourjois Undress Me shower gel - Maybe Someday
Why? I have loved this one for years and will repurchase it someday but I want to explore different scents. This shower gel smells sexy and lingers.
L'oreal #TXT07 texturising spray - Maybe Someday
Why? It smells nice, adds lots of volume but my hair doesn't stay voluminous for long. I'm trying a new one right now but I think I'll repurchase this after this new one, try it again and hairspray it afterwards.
Batiste XXL volume dryshampoo - Repurchase Right Away
Why? It cleanses the hair, smells nice, does not make feel like I can't breath after spraying and it keeps the hair voluminous for long. It does sometimes make your hair sticky and tacky if you spray it from too close or too much.
Got2Be Beach Babe seasalt spray - Repurchase Right Away
Why? It's a great and cheap seasalt spray.
Kruidvat volume lift dryshampoo - Nope Nope Nope
Why? It doesn't do much for my hair and it takes my breath away in the bad way. After spraying I felt like suffocating and needed to run out of the room to breath.
Dove Wintercare showercream - Maybe Someday
Why? It smells delicious and moisturised my skin but it's a limited edition from 2 winters ago.
Hema Mild Nailpolish Remover - Repurchase Right Away
Why? It takes of your nailpolish and smells like cherries instead of that bad nailpolish remover scent.
Rexona Maximum Protection (purple, pink and green) - Repurchase Right Away
Why? It's a great deodorant but I've used it for so long that I've associated the pink and purple scent with my sweaty smell so now I'll only repurchase the green one or other ones I haven't tried yet.
Nivea micellair water - Nope Nope Nope
Why? It's not as good as the other drugstore micellair waters, it's a smaller bottle and it's more expensive. I prefer the Garnier one.
La Roche Posay micellair water - Repurchase Right Away
Why? This one has a permanent place at my girlfriends home. The packaging is small so it doesn't take up much space in her toiletry bag. The product is great and for some reason I just love it.
Corine de Farme Micellair water - Maybe Someday
Why? Let's just say I love the pump. This is my favorite after the Garnier one. The bottle is massive, it lasts forever and has a great pricepoint.
Shiseido benefiance Balancing Softener - Nope Nope Nope
Why? I was just using it up because nobody else in my home did. I don't even know what it does or saw a massive difference in my skin. I didn't purchase it in the first place and wouldn't buy it again.
Kruidvat cleansing pads - Nope Nope Nope
Why? It didn't take my make up off, hurted my eyes and sadly it just wasn't any good. Lazy me is very disappointed.
Garnier Hydra-adapt normal to combination skin - Nope Nope Nope
Why? As you can read here I have dry skin and this just wouldn't be right for my skin. I liked the texture and smell though.
The Bodyshop vitamine E Aqua Boost Sorbet - Repurchase Right Away
Why? I love how cooling and fresh it feels on my skin. It sinks in quickly and does feel really moisturising.
Clarins Superrestorative daycream - Nope Nope Nope
Why? It didn't wow me and would be a little bit too expensive.
The Bodyshop seaweed mattifying daycream - Nope Nope Nope
Why? I loved this, it mattifies and sinks in quickly but in the long run it wouldn't benefit my dry skin considering this is from the combination skinline from The Bodyshop.
The Bodyshop seaweed clarifying night treatment - Nope Nope Nope
Why? Same reason, it wouldn't benefit my dry skin.
Physicians Formula Organic Wear mascara - Maybe Someday
Why? It was so voluminising but dried out really quickly. For right now I'm loving the L'oreal Miss Manga mascara.
Hema Volume mascara - Nope Nope Nope
Why? It really didn't do anything for my lashes.
Kiehls Marvelous Mineral mascara - Nope Nope Nope
Why? I found an old back up of this mascara. I loved it. It was my favorite mascara in high school but unfortunately it's discontinued.
Essence Get Big Lashes mascara - Nope Nope Nope
Why? It didn't do anything, was flaky and smudged.
Catrice light reflecting concealer - Maybe Someday
Why? I liked the product but I'm trying a different concealer right now.
Essence Superfine Eyeliner - Nope Nope Nope
Why? This liner stained my eyelid blue, it's just to scary to keep using. I don't want to have a blue line around my eyes forever!!!
Essence I love Punk jumbo liner - Nope Nope Nope
Why? It was more grey than black and I need my eyeliner to be black!!
Primark felt tip eyeliner - Nope Nope Nope
Why? It just wasn't great, not really black, not really longwearing.
There weren't so many absolute great products in this empties roundup but I try to use my products up anyways. I mean I did pay for them so I should use them up, otherwise my mother would be right when she says I throw my money away and we can't have that ;)
As a disclaimer I also want to say that just because I don't like it or it just doesn't work for me doesn't mean that it won't work for you. My fails could possibly be your holy grail product. Do your research and if you think you'll like it, try it for yourself.
Goodbyeeee
