Empties #10 - Part 2

Τον περασμένο μήνα στο προηγούμενο post σας έδειξα το πρώτο μέρος των empties που κατάφερα να μαζέψω εδώ και κάμποσους μήνες, το οποίο περιελάμβανε προϊόντα μακιγιάζ που τελείωσα. Ήρθε λοιπόν η ώρα να σας δείξω και τα υπόλοιπα προϊόντα που τελείωσα τα οποία έχουν σχέση με περιποίηση προσώπου και σώματος. Και επειδή αυτό το post μου βγήκε λίγο μεγαλύτερο πάμε να τα δούμε ένα ένα.

Empties #10 - Part 1

Καλό μήνα και καλό φθινόπωρο να έχουμε όλοι! Επιτέλους μετά από ένα αρκετά μεγάλο καλοκαιρινό διάλειμμα επέστρεψα στο blog με καινούργιο post, και μάλιστα με ένα empties post. Θεώρησα πως ένα empties post είναι ότι καλύτερο για ένα come back μιας και συνειδητοποίησα πως δεν έχω κάνει ένα από τον περασμένο Γενάρη…. ναι μάλιστα καλά ακούσατε Γενάρη! Οπότε όπως θα έχετε ήδη καταλάβει επειδή μάζευα αυτές τις άδειες συσκευασίες για πάρα πολύ καιρό ήρθε επιτέλους η ώρα να τις ξεφορτωθώ, και ακριβώς για το λόγο του ότι είναι πολλά τα προϊόντα, θα χωριστούν σε δύο posts. Σήμερα θα σας δείξω τα προϊόντα μακιγιάζ, και με ένα αρωματάκι μέσα, και στο επόμενο post τα υπόλοιπα τα οποία είναι προϊόντα περιποίησης προσώπου και σώματος. Ας ξεκινήσουμε λοιπόν.

Empties #9

Καλημέρα σε όλους! Όπως καταλάβατε και από τον τίτλο αυτό θα είναι ένα post με άδειες συσκευασίες και αυτή τη φορά προσπάθησα να περιορίσω κάπως τη ποσότητα ώστε να μην βγει τεράστιο. Το τελευταίο διάστημα προσπαθώ να χρησιμοποιώ περισσότερο τα προϊόντα που έχω εδώ και αρκετό καιρό στο ντουλάπι μου ώστε να μου τελειώσουν, γι’ αυτό και στο μέλλον τα empties posts θα είναι αρκετά. 

Empties #8 - Summer Edition (Skincare & Make-Up)

Καλημέρα σε όλους! Επιτέλους μετά από αρκετή καθυστέρηση το δεύτερο μέρος των καλοκαιρινών μου empties έφτασε! Σε αυτό το post θα δείτε όλα εκείνα τα προϊόντα που τελείωσα μέσα στο καλοκαίρι και έχουν σχέση με περιποίηση προσώπου και μακιγιάζ. Πάμε να ξεκινήσουμε διότι το post προβλέπετε να βγει αρκετά μεγάλο!

Empties #8 - Summer Edition (Hair & Body)

Καλημέρα σε όλους! Σήμερα μετά από πολύ καιρό σας έχω ένα empties post, και μάλιστα είναι το summer edition, δηλαδή όλα εκείνα τα προϊόντα που τελείωσα μέσα στο καλοκαίρι. Πρόσφατα άνοιξα τη σακούλα μέσα στην οποία φύλαγα όλες τις άδειες μου συσκευασίες και προς έκπληξη μου είχα μαζέψει υπερβολικά πολλές ,οπότε για να μην βγει το post τεράστιο αποφάσισα να τα χωρίσω σε 2 κατηγορίες, μια για προϊόντα σχετικά με τα μαλλιά και το σώμα και μια για προϊόντα μακιγιάζ και περιποίησης προσώπου. Σήμερα σας δείχνω όλα τα προϊόντα μαλλιών και σώματος που τελείωσα μέσα στο καλοκαίρι, όποτε τι λέτε, αρχίζουμε? 

Empties #7

Καλημέρα σε όλους! Σήμερα σας έχω ένα empties post, μια από τις αγαπημένες μου κατηγορίες post και αυτό γιατί βρίσκονται μαζεμένα πολλά μίνι reviews με ολοκληρωμένη άποψη μέσα σε μία ανάρτηση. Επειδή τελείωσα πολλά προϊόντα τους τελευταίους μήνες, αποφάσισα να μην τα δείξω όλα σ' ένα post, γι αυτό να περιμένετε άλλο ένα σύντομα.

Empties - Products I've Used Up #6.

Hello my lovelies! I hope you love "empties" posts as much as I do, I haven't done one in a while and since I've gathered quite a few empty products I think it was about time to do one! From now on I'll try to not to include as many empties as I used to in previous posts because they are way to long and propably bore you to death. Let's hope I can stick to that promise!

Empties - Products I've Used Up #5 - Part 2

As I mentioned in my previous post, this is the second part of my latest empties, all the make up products that I've used up lately and some more skincare stuff of course. I was going to write this post a bit earlier but I've been sick for the past 5 days and I was pretty much like a zombie inside my house all that time so please excuse the delay. OK soooo let's start!

Avene Eau Thermale Spring Water

My HG thermal water spray for many years now, I've used up so many of these bottles! An absolute summer must have for me, I can't not have this in my beach bag and when the weather is ridiculously hot is a life saver! Also it's perfect for those with sensitive skintype, it calms all the skin irritations.

 Clinique Anti-Blemish Solutions Clarifying Lotion

I've been using the Clinique #2 Clarifying lotion for almost seven years, and even though it's a product that many people hate, I actually really like it. It's not a product that I use everyday, I like using it whenever I'm having breakouts, I find that it really helps. I really like this one, the Anti-blemish Solutions, it's a little stronger than the #2  that I usually buy but it's great for when I'm having really bad skin days. I don't know, I may repurchase it again, propably in the summer time.

Frezyderm Moisturizing 24H Hydrating Cream

I know I know.....you've seen so many empty bottles of this moisturizer this past year, I've mentioned it countless times already, it's my HG moisturizer, the one that I always come back to. I'm not going to bother you anymore with it, if you want to know more you can read my full review on it here.

Frezyderm Eye Balm

When I first got this eye cream I used to hate it, it didn't  moisturize my under eye area at all, but that's when my skin around my eyes was super dry. I decided to give it a second chance around June when my skin became more oily again, I didn't have any problems with really dry and itchy skin around my eyes, and I was surprised that I actually really liked it! I've been using it in the summer and I found it very refreshing, it never felt heavy or greasy. I would definitely repurchase it but only for summertime. I have to mention that it did nothing for my under eye circles but then again I don't expect anything like that from an eye cream since my problem is genetic and nothing ever helps with that.

Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus Eye Cream

I don't know what possessed me into buying this eye cream since I don't have any problem with fine lines, propably it was a "late twenties" life crisis I had back then I don't know, but I absolutely hated this eye cream! It made me eyes super dry, the least I'd expect from an anti aging eye cream is to help with moisturizing the skin around the eyes becasue as we get older the skin around our eyes is becoming more dry. Such a dissapointing product from Clinique, I don't recommend this to anyone!

Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado

OK to be honest this is a "forgotten" empty, and by forgotten I mean it was completely empty in my fridge for about.....two years.... please don't judge! If you want a super moisturizing eye cream then this one is definitely for you. It's so heavy that I could never used it under my concealer, for me it was a night eye cream only. If you want to know more, I've done a full review on it here.

Apivita Express Beauty Face Mask with Pomegranate

One of my HG Apivita face masks along with the Propolis one. It instantly gives a glow to my face, it makes me look more awake and fresh even many hours after I've used it. I've tried many masks that promised to give a "glowy" face but failed completely. This one is an absolute gem!

Sephora Smoothing and Brightening Concealer 

For a year now I've been really into the highlighting concealers, I prefer these over the regular ones even though I have really bad dark eye circles, they make me look more awake. This one from Sephora was really good, it's the #05 and it has peachy undertones which is perfect for my dark circles problem, it's quite similar to the Mac Prep n' Prime Highlighter in Bright Forecast. If you want to know more about it, read this post I wrote a few months back about my concealer collection.

 Clinique Even Better Make Up in Ivory

Two years ago this used to be my HG foundation, along with Mac's Pro Longwear, it's almost full coverage and it gives such an amazing flawless and glowy look to my face. It's not long lasting, it transfered after a few hours of wearing it, but that's not the main reason why I don't want to repurchase it again, it's because I'm over the whole thick and full coverage foundation phase now. I still love Mac's Pro Longwear foundation because it's not as thick as the Even Better, but the Pro Longwear is my limit, I won't buy a foundation that is thicker than the Mac one.

Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream

Αctually this is not an empty product, more of a half empty product I would say, but I had to throw it away because it really broke me out and I wasn't going to use it anymore. Even though it's targeted for oily skintypes I find it quite dewy for my combination skin and I was using it at winter. The Garnier BB cream for oily skins way better than this one!

Maybelline The Colossal Go Extreme! Mascara

This one is propably my favourite Maybelline mascara, from all the ones that I've tried of course. It gives a feathery-soft look, perfect for everyday! You can read my full review on it here.

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion

Urban Decay's Primer Potion was the very first eyeshadow primer I've ever tried back in 2006, it was sent to me as a gift from a friend in the UK and back then I had absolutely no idea what an eyeshadow primer was! But this one completely changed my mind about eye make up in general, when I was using it even the cheapiest eyeshadow looked amazing and lasted for hours. But even though it was my very first eye primer, I have to say that I love the Too Faced Shadow Insurance more because of the texture. This mini primer potion I was using came with the Urban Decay Naked palette I bought two years ago.

Mac Studio Finish Concealer NW25

I've tried almost all of the Mac concealers and this one was by far the one that I enjoyed using the most, but not anymore. When I first bought it I got it for my under my eyes, and back then I didn't have dry under eye area, so it was perfect for covering my bad dark circles. But after my skin became really dry I started using in on spots, pimples and stuff but the orangey shade was so wrong for my skintone, also it transfered like crazy, that's why I'm not going to repurchase it again.

Escada Cherry In The Air Perfume

I don't know how many of you love the summer limited edition Escada perfumes, or maybe I'm the only one? They're so fresh,fruity and summerish! This one, Cherry In The Air was a birthday gift from my mother last year and I've used it all up within a year.

Essence Get Big Lashes Waterproof  Mascara

One of my most favourite mascaras, even though it's waterproof I really loved it this summer, plus it's super affordable! You can read my review here, if you want to know more about it.

Essence Get Big Lashes Triple Black Mascara
As much as I loved the waterproof version of this mascara, this one I absolutely hated it! It irritated my eyes, and when Ι was wearing it it was like I had no mascara on. For me it was a real disappointment, I don't recomment buying it, get the waterproof one instead.

Loreal Mega Volume Miss Manga Mascara
This mascara was a bit meh for me. The very bendy wand it was really annoying, it didn't really give any volume or length to my lashes. You can read my full review on it here.

So that's everything, all the empty products that I've been collecting for a few months now, and please excuse the really long post, but I like giving you my full opinions on the products that I've used up. 

Have you tried any of these products? Did you like them? Let me know!

Empties - Products I've Used Up #5 - Part 1

 Hello my lovelies! As you can see from the title this is going to be an "empties" post, I recently realised that I haven't done one in ages, last time I wrote one was in May and since then I managed to collect two whole bags of empty products! So I thought that including them in only one post it would be too much, so I decided to split them in two parts. This first part is going to be about hair and skincare stuff, and the next one is going to be again about skincare and make up. 

So let's start!

  Soap and Glory Clean, Girls Body Wash

I got this huge shower gel last year when I visited London, the quality is amazing, very creamy and hydrating plus it has a masculine scent which is incredible unique. If I had access to these shower gels I would definitely buy one again.

Elvive Total Repair 5 Shampoo and Conditioner.

I don't have much of experience with Loreal's shampoos and conditioners, I find that this is an OK shampoo, I really liked the fact that it never made my hair greasy or dry, in my opinion it's perfect for normal hair, it's not moisturizing enough for drier hair. To be honest I liked the conditioner more, and I've already mentioned it in one of my monthly favourites post in the past, it made my hair super soft without making it feeling heavy or greasy. 

  Ausie Miracle Moist Shampoo and Conditioner.

It's very rare for a shampoo and conditioner to impress me but these two actually did it, I absolutely love them! Even though their name is "Miracle Moist" if you have dry hair you won't be pleased with the shampoo, it's not very moisturizing but for my normal to dry and fine hair it's moisturizing enough, and it leaves my hair really soft! I have to admit that I love the conditioner a bit more, and if I had to choose only one conditioner for the rest of my life it would be this one! It has a unique cream to gel texture but it manages to make my hair incredibly soft and detangled.

Sunsilk Nourishing Soft and Smooth Conditioner

I've tried almost every single of the Sunsilk conditioners and this one has got to be my favourite. I don't consider this as a conditioner but more of a deep conditioner or a mask because it's super hydrating, I've tried hair masks that hydrated my hair less than this baby did! But I had to be careful and use only a small amount of this otherwise it made my hair very greasy. I also loved the fact that it has an amazing warm scent, it must be the argan oil.

Proderm Sleep Easy Body Lotion

Yes I know that this is a baby body lotion, but I couldn't resist to the smell, it smells like..........I can't really describe it, but it smells like a baby and lavender, yeah I know I'm really bad at describing scents! It has quite a thick texture but it blends nicely into the skin and it never leaved a greasy feeling to my body. I recommend this to everyone that love baby lotion's smells in general, and to be honest with you I really want to buy the matching shower gel!

L'oreal Gentle Waterproof Eye Make Up Remover - Eyes and Lips

This is by far my HG drugstore duo-phase eye make up remover! It even managed to beat my previous favourite, the Johnson's Gentle Eye Make Up Removal Lotion. It removes any type of mascara very easy and it leaves my eye area hydrated, also it never irritated my eyes.

Johnson's Gentle Eye Make Up Removal Lotion

 I've mentioned above that this used to be my HG favorite eye make up remover from the drugstore, and whenever I find it on sale I always grab one but to be honest it cannot beat the L'oreal waterproof one, and that's because is not as strong, it needs a bit more rubbing than the Loreal one to take off the eye make up. It's great for those who don't like the really oily dup-phase eye make up removers, and also for those who have sensitive eyes.

Pom Pon Make Up Removing Wipes for Sensitive Skin

I rarely use make up wipes to remove my face or eye make up, I prefer my Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm or a micellar water, but let's be honest, these wipes are so handy when you're away on holiday! So whevener I go away on a trip I always choose these ones, the Pom Pon Soothing & Regenerating for sensitive skin. They're the best ones from all the make up removing wipes I've tried in the past, they never irritated my skin or my eyes like most wipes do and they're extremely wet, even after one month opened they're still very wet and that's quite impressing.

Avene Cleanance Gel Cleansing Gel

If you're reading my blog long enough you'd propably already know that I'm using this cleansing gel for many many years and I've been through countless bottles of this baby. My skin changes quite a few times within a year, from super to oily to combination to dry, but since last spring my skin has been quite oily so I started using this cleansing gel again, it's the only one I trust for my acne prone skin.

Seventeen Specifics 2-Phase Eye and Lip Make Up Remover

Yeah I know, another eye make up remover but I go through them really quick so once in a while I like to try different ones. This one from Seventeen really dissapointed me, even though it's quite oily it failed to remove my eye make up quickly, and it's quite expensive for a drugstore eye make up remover so I don't recommend this one, the Loreal and Johnson's ones are way better.

So that was the first part of my empties post, let me know if you've tried any of the these products, if you liked them or not. The second part with more skincare and make up stuff will be up really soon!

Empties - Products I've Used Up #4

I haven't done an "empties" post in ages! I think the last time was six months ago. So when I realised that I haven't done one for so long and right after I opened the bag that I was keeping all of them I panicked because I had so many, especially the amount of mascaras, which I find ridiculously big! So I'll try to keep this post as small as I can. OK then, let's start!

Herbal Essences Bee Strong Shampoo

I've tries almost all of the Herbal Essences shampoos and this was propably my most favorite, it's the most moisturizing from all of their lines, but still after a two months of using it, it did dry out my hair and for that reason only I don't think I will repurchase it again.

Aussie Miracle Moist Conditioner

This is one of my HG conditioners, it manages to moisturize and detangle my hair without being heavy at all, even its texture is very lightweight and when I first tried it I never thought that a conditioner with such a lightweight texture could moisturize my hair that well! I have already repurchase it and I will continue repurchasing it in the future.

Sephora Coconut Smoothing Body Scrub

This was one of the worst body scrubs I have ever tried, it was something between a shower gel and a scrub but it never exfoliated my body as good as I wanted, it's a huge no from me and I will never purchase it again.

La Roche Posay Physiological Micellar Solution

One of the best micellar lotions/waters in the market, in my opinion it's even better than the Bioderma Sensibio, and it's very underrated noone ever talks abou it. It's extremely gentle with my sensitive skin and it leaves my face matte and not sticky at all. This was the second bottle I've used up and of course I've already repurchased it.

Vichy Purete Thermal 3 in 1 Cleansing Micellar Solution

Before trying the La Roche Posay one the Vichy Micellar Solution used to be my HG cleansing water because it was so gentle with my skin, but it kinda left my skin sticky. If you want to know more about it I've done a full review here.

Frezyderm Moisturizing 24H Hydrating Cream 

It's not a secret how much I love this moisturizer, since last August I've used up 2 bottles and now I'm using a third one, it's amazing for my combination/oily skin and it never broke me out. If you want to know more you can read my full review about it  here.

Burt's Bees Sensitive Night Cream with Cotton Extract

I was never a fan of night creams, I always thought they were too heavy for my skintype, but this one completely changed my mind, it's like my skin really needed it, especially in the wintertime. It calmed down my all of skin irritations, itchyness and peeling skin, it's perfect for sensitive skintypes! I've also done a full review here if you want to know more about it.

Korres Pomegranate Cleansing Scrub

I've used up so many of these little tubes the past couple of years, it's the only facial scrub that exfoliates so well and never irritated my skin that's why it's my HG. Right now I'm using the St.Ives Apricot one that I got last year from the UK but it's not as good as this one, I can't wait for it to finish so I can get the Korres one once more.

The Body Shop Shea Body Butter

The body butters from The Body Shop are essential products for me, I always have to keep one in my cabinet. I've tried so many of them but the Shea will always be my HG one, I loved it since I was a teenager. It has a warm-nutty and not overpowering scent that makes me want to eat my own skin everytime I use it.

Sephora Waterproof Eye MakeUp Remover

One of the best eye makeup removers that I've tried, it never irritated my eyes and takes off even the most stubborn mascaras without trying too much. I don't think that I will repurchase it again though because it's kind of expensive and I found another one that does the exact same job for less, but I may repurchase a mini one if I'm going to travel, it's so handy.

Vera Wang Princess Perfume

I'm not good at describing perfumes and scents so I'm not going to do it. I'm only going to say that I'm very picky with my perfumes and not only I've used up this bottle but I've also repurchased it and for me that says a lot, I rarely repurchase the same perfume. It's my HG everyday scent.

Seventeen Ideal Cover Liquid Concealer

I've gone through so many tubes of this concealer, no matter what new concealer I try I always come back to this one. The consistency is just perfect, it never made my undereye area dry and it covers my dark circles quite well.

Erre Due Volumizing Waterproof Mascara

This is a mascara that made my lashes extremely curled but it didn't do anything more than that, for me it was kind of meh. But if you want to know more here's my full review about it.

Maybelline The Falsies Flared Mascara

I was exremely dissapointed with this one, from the moment I opened it it was very dry, it's like it was opened way before I bought it. It was very hard to use it on my lashes and huge pieces of mascara were falling under my eyes. I had to throw it away only a month after I first used it.

Radiant Studio Perfect Mascara

I didn't have the chance to do a full review about this mascara, I had to stop using it only a few weeks after I opened it because of an eye infection. But overall it was an average everyday kind of mascara, it only gave a bit length to my lashes and nothing more.

L'oreal Mega Volume Collagene 24H Mascara

No doubt this is the best L'oreal mascara, from all the ones that I've tried from the L'oreal brand of course. It gives volume, it's super lightweight and it leaves my lashes really soft. If you want to know more about it, this is my full review.

Sephora Lash Plumper Mascara

The HG of all the mascaras that I've tried so far in my life, guys I think I've found the one! It has the same lightweight texture as the L'oreal Mega Volume Collagene 24H has but the results are way better, it gives amazing length and holds a curl like no other. I'm definitely going to repurchase it. You can read all about it here!

So these were all of my empty products for the past six months, I hope I didn't bore you with my long post. Have you tried any of these products? Did you like them? I wanna know!

Empties - Products I've Used Up #3

I realised that I haven't done an empties post since May, and since my "empties" bag was really full so I thought it was about time to do one now. I don't know about you but I love reading empties posts, it's a great opportunity for the bloggers to share their complete opinion on a product. So let's start because it's going to be a long post!

Avene Cleanance Gel Cleanser

I'll start first with some of the skincare products that I've been using for a long time, Avene's Cleanance gel cleanser was my one and only cleanser for many many many years, it's great for oily and acne prone skins. But recently I've stopped using it because it became too harsh for my skin, I think with age our skin changes and mine became more sensitive and dehydrated, so I stopped using it, but if your skin is oily and can handle harsher cleansers you should definitely try this one, it's the least harsh from all the ones that I've tried that are targeted for oily and acne prone skins.

La Roshe Posay Physiological Micellar Solution

This micellar water has got to be my HG one! I've tried lots of pharmacy micellar waters, Vichy, Bioderma, Avene but this one is the best for my skin. It doesn't irritate my skin like Bioderma did, doesn't leave a sticky residue like the Vichy and Avene did. But just so you know, I don't use micellar lotions to remove my eye makeup because they tend to dry out my eye area and I don't like that. In my opinion the Physiological Micellar Lotion is one of the best out there. I've already repurchase it in the huge bottle.

Sephora Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover

I've mentioned this eye makeup remover in the past a lot, it's one of the best  eye makeup removers that I've tried. I think it works really good, it never irritated my eyes and it's not super oily like some of the high end ones I've tried, such as Clinique. I only wish it was cheaper that's why I don't buy it that often, I always use drugstore ones in between, but once in a while I love buying a bottle of this one.

Johnson's Face Care Gentle Eye Make Up Removal Lotion

This eye makeup remover is an old favorite of mine, it's propably the best drugstore one out there. It reminds me a lot of the Clinique Take the Day Off Eye but it's not as oily. I think it's better than the L'oreal duo phase eye make up remover, and way better than the Garnier one. I think it's available only in Europe though, but if you can find it you should definitely try it.

La Roche Posay Thermal Spring Water

I love using thermal water sprays, especially in the summertime and in the winter too, whenever my skin is very sensitive because of the cold. I've tried this one from La Roche Posay, it's OK but not my HG for sure. What I didn't like the most about this thermal water was how it sprayed all over my clothes but always managed to miss the main target, my face! It's not a bad one, it's just nothing too special, save your money for the next one I'm going to talk you about.

Avene Thermal Spring Water

I've tried lots of pharmacy thermal water sprays, and I'm telling you that if there's one that really worth the money it's this one from Avene. It does exactly what it says, it soothes the skin and it's anti-irritating, it even helped me whenever I had sunburns. And it's the only one that calms my skin whenever it's itchy from the cold. 

The Body Shop Seaweed Mattifying Day Cream

I've used this product a lot when my skin was more oily and not dehydrated, it's a light moisturizer for oily skins, that's all, but if you want it just for that it's perfect. If you want to know more about it, I've done a review post about it here.

Nivea Soft Cream

I've already talked about this cream, my mother and I used this cream so much last summer, that we've gone through two tubes of this one, actually one of them was the big one but I threw it away so I'm now showing you only the small one. If you like a lightweight but mosturizing body cream that doesn't feel like pure silicone on your body then this is the one for you. I hate when lightweight body moisturizers have that silicone feeling, I just can't stand it. I also used it on my face once because it was very dry from the sun, and it really helped. I will forever repurchase a tube of this one for sure!

Dove Go Fresh Shower Gel with Blue Fig and Orange Blossom

I never thought that I would show you a shower gel, because mostof the ones that I'm using they're kind of meh, nothing to special to talk about. But I changed my mind when I used up this one from Dove, I have to tell you how awesome it is, mostly about the scent. It has such a summerish scent and I can't really describe exactly what it smells like but to me it's summer, and beach and sun and........I don't know why, but it has to be the blue fig Please smell it next time you'll be in the drugstore or the supermarket, you will love it!

Sunsilk Conditioner for Straight Hair

Sunsilk is one of my HG hair drugstore companies, especially when it comes to conditioners and leave in creams, it never dissapointed me and this conditioner is not an exception. It really does smooth my hair and it makes the straightening process way easier. I really want to try all of their conditioners, from all of their lines and decide which one I like the most, but I've only tried this one and the one for curly hair and loved them both!

L'oreal Total Repair 5 Conditioner

This is also a conditioner that I really love, I think it's a high quality drugstore hair conditioner that really helps my hair feels stronger and healthier, I've already repurchased it. Next time I want to buy the hair mask too because I've heard really good reviews about it.

Herbal Essences Hello Hydration Hair Mask

Herbal Essences is the only brand I use for shampoos because they don't irritate my scalp, I've tried so so many products from this brand and I've come to the conclusion that I absolutely love their shampoos, I absolutely hate their conditioner and I love love love their hair masks. The Hello Hydration hair mask smells divine, like coconuts and summer! The best part is that it actually hydrates my hair, I don't really love hair masks, I rarely use them but if I find a good one I stick with it, and that's the case with this one! I'll definitely repurchase it in the future!

 Apivita Creamy Face & Eye Foam Cleanser with Olive and Lavender

I mentioned that I stopped using the Avene Cleanance gel cleanser because it was very harsh on my skin, so I replaced it with this one from Apivita, and I haven't regret it. It's an amazing cleanser, it has a creamy and not a gel texture, it's perfect for conbination skintypes! This is the mini bottle that I recently used up and I have repurchased it in the full size already.

Macadamia Healing Oil Treatment

I have had this for way too long, I used to like it when I first bought but then I was kind of meh about it, I realised that it didn't control the frizzyness on my hair at all, I had flyaway hairs everywhere. If I had to compare it with other high end hair oils I have to say that Moroccanoil is way better, but I have to say that  prefer the Macadamia's scent, it's more tropical.

Benefit Hello Flawless Powder Foundation 

I've talked about this powder in my blog many times, it's one of the best powder foundations in the market, it leaves a silky finish on my skin, never looked powdery which is the main problem with powder foundations in general. The only problem is the price, it's way to expensive for the amount of product you get, it's 36 euros for only 7 grams!

Garnier Anti-dark Circles Roll-on

I didn't had the chance to finish this product because after one an a half year it went bad so I had to stopped using it. When I first got it I hated, it did nothing for my concealing my under eye circles, after a few months I decided to give it a second chance, I liked the refreshing and cooling sensation it gave under my eyes, but that was it, I still didn't like it because in terms of concealing any darkness , it was awful. Overall no, I didn't like this product and I would never buy it again.

Maybelline The Rocket Mascara

This is one of Maybelline's most famous and beloved mascaras, I liked the volumizing look it gave to my lashes but I hated the formula, it's too heavy for my eyes. You can read all about it in my review here.

L'oreal Volume Million ashes Excess

With this mascara I have the exact opposite opinion of the one that I have for the Rocket, even though I absolutely adored the formula and the texture of this mascara the results were mediocre. I've done a blog post about it here.

So those were all the empties that I gathered for the past 5 months, I really hope my next one won't be that long, and I'll do one much sooner! Let me know if you've tried any of these products, I really wanna know your opinions about them.

Empties - Products I've Used Up #2

It's been so long since I did my last empties post, and I noticed that I gathered too many products within the past 5-6 months so it was about time to do another empties post.

Please excuse the bad light in some of the pictures, when i took them the weather was acting crazy! 

Vichy Eau Thermale Water Spray

I love using mineral water sprays on my face especially at summer time and when my face has some kind of irritation, burning sensation or itchyness. Vichy's water spray is a typical mineral water like most of the ones I've tried, but my favorite so far is Avene's, because I actually saw a difference on my face when it's irritated. One thing I don't like about the Vichy one is that it sprays all over my clothes except my face, they sould fix the spray in my opinion.

Herbal Essences Beautiful Ends Shampoo

I never thought I would even mention a shampoo in my blog, ever, and that's because all of the shampoos I've tried irritated my scalp after a while. But this one not only it hasn't irritate me so far, but I actually finished a whole bottle and also I'm almost done with my second one! It's the perfect shampoo for those who have long hair because it leaves it super soft without weight it down. One more positive thing is that is OK for oily scalps, most shampoos that are not targeted for oily scalps make my hair greasy within a day, but I never had this problem with this one. For me it's definitely a keeper!

 The Body Shop Seaweed Mattifying Day Cream

This has been my HG moisturizer for almost half a year now, I seriously love it so much that I'm almost done with the second one that I got in January. It's perfect for oily skintypes, it hasn't break me out and I'm very acne prone when it comes to moisturizers. I'm not planning to change this moisturizer in the near future, right now for me this is perfect!

Sephora Waterproof Eye Make Up Remover

I've already talked about this eye make up remover and how I think this one is better than other duo phase eye make up removers. It doesn't stink my eyes, which is a huge plus for me since I have sensitive eyes, and it removes mascara and eyeliner very easy. I will continue repurchase this one!

Sephora Triple Action Cleansing Water

I got this micellar water long ago in a mini bottle just to try it out. The only thing I like about this one is the smell and the fact that it doesn't make my face oily afterwards. But it irritates my skin, especially my cheekbones and I cannot use it for 3 days straight. There are way better micellar waters outthere like La Roche Posay's Physiological and Vichy's Eau Thermale, both perfect for sensitive skintones.

John Frieda Frizz - Ease Extra Strength Serum

Before I found out about Sunsilk's Perfect Straight leave in cream this serum was the only one I was using before I blow dry my hair, it really manages the frizzyness and straightens hair super quick and easy. But it's way too expensive here, it costs 14 euros for only 50 ml of product, and I find that Sunsilk's Perfect Straight Leave In cream ( the purple one) does the same, maybe even better, job with only 3 euros for 150 ml of product. As you can see Sunsilk is definitely the winner in this battle, so I won't repurchase the Frizz Ease serum in the future.

Korres Olive Stones Deep Cleansing Scrub

This scrub along with the Pomegranate, also from Korres, are the best face scrubs I've ever tried so far, and I've tried lots of them. It smells amazing, like summer,  and the olive stones do an excellent job at exfoliating my skin without irritating it. If you like non salicylic acid scrubs you should try this one, it's superb!

Korres Pomegranate Cleansing Mask

This is a great cleansing mask for oily skintypes, way better than others I've tried. It cleanses the skin without drying it out, and I really saw a difference on my nose pores. Like the rest products from the Korres Pomegranate line, it smells amazing! In my opinion, you should try at least one product from the Pomegranate line just for the smell!

Mac Pro Longwear Foundation

I don't know how many times I've already mention this foundation, last time it was in my April favorites. This is my old one, now I'm using the new bottle I got a few months ago, and I've already used almost half of it. Best long lasting foundation in the market and it doesn't break me out. I'll definitely repurchase it in the future.

Escada Taj Sunset Fragrance

I love Escada's summer limited edition fragrances, every year they release a new one, Taj Sunset was released 2 years ago, and I really loved it. It's super fruity and summerish, and if you like that kind of scents for the summertime you should check out Escada fragrances. I'm pretty sure I'll get the new Cherry Blossom one really soon, it smells amazing!

L'oreal Mega Volume Collagene 24H mascara

This is propably the best mascara I've ever used for years and certaintly the best mascara that L'oreal has right now.  It makes my lashes super long and voluminous, but the best part is how soft it feels, it has a consistency that feels like mousse, perfect for those who have sensitive eyes. Most mascaras by the end of the day make my eyes watery and itchy, this one never did that. I only wish it was less expensive, but I'm definetely planning to repurchase it in the future.

So these were the empties I managed to collect these past few months, I hope my next empties post will be sooner than this one was. Let me know if you've tried any of the products that I mentioned above, and if you like them or not.

November Empties.

I really wanted to start doing empties posts and since I gathered few of them lately, I decide to do my first  post. I think it's a great idea posting all your empties every month or every two months because you have a complete opinion about a product and that way I can let you know whether I liked it or not and whether I'll repurchase it or not.

 Not all of these products are November empties, some of them are empties from the past two months, but I wanted to include them now since it's my first post.

It's hard for me to gather empties because most of the times I don't use up products, especially face products because I tend to break out easily so I can't use them, but I'll try to keep up with these posts every month or every two months!

Mac Studio Fix Fluid NC25

Years ago this foundation used to be my HG foundation, I actually purchased it twice, but after trying the Pro Longwear I realised how bad it was. It was way too yellow, and too cakey, also it was hard to blend it on my skin, and after two hours it transfered around my nose and mouth. I definetely won't repurchase it again.

Clinique Even Better Foundation  03 Ivory

When I first got this foundation I hated it I don't know why, so I kept in my make up drawer for a long time. But last spring I decided to give it a second chance and I realised how wrong I was. It covers really well, makes my face look seriously flawless, even my mother complimented my face and she never notices any difference on the foundations I use. Also the shade is the perfect beige, I prefer beige shades over yellow ones. This one and Mac's Pro Longwear are my two HG liquid foundations. I've already purchase a new one, because this one was too old to use anymore.

The Body Shop Hot Brights Lips & Cheeks

I can't even remember when I got this lip and cheek duo from The Body Shop, but I remember it was from a limited edition summer collection. I really liked the cheek stain, I was using it under my powder blushes to make them last longer and it was working, the lipgloss was way too sticky for me, but the shade is a pretty golden beige.

Mac CreamSheen Glass Partial To Pink

This is actually one of the few Mac lipglosses that I actually finished up, because most of them go bad really quick, within a year or so, but this one never did, same thing with the Dazzleglasses. In my opinion the Cremesheen Glasses are the best glosses that Mac has, very smooth, non sticky at all and very glossy without shimmers, my perfect gloss! I'll propably repurchase it in another shade, this one was too sheer.

Mac Perennial High Style Lipglass

So this one I had to toss it out because it started taste really bad. Every single lipglass I purchased from Mac gone bad, all of them really quick, but this one lasted me a little over two years. I have to say that I really loved this shade, and I liked the fact that it didn't have shimmers. But since it was limited edition I can't repurchase it. A good dupe though it's Pink Lemonade also from Mac.

Bobbi Brown Corrector Light Peach

I used to love this product, I've actually purchased it three times until now. I was using it alone as a concealer, it has the perfect peachy shade for my dark brown undereye circles. I decided to stop using it, after I realised how bad it creases within a few hours. One more con is that it's very expensive, it costs over 25 euros, and for a product that lasted me only a few months I think that it's way too much. I don't think I will repurchase it again.

Seventeen Ideal Cover Liquid Concealer

I've mentioned this concealer too many times already, I absolutely love it! It's very lightweight with medium coverage, it never creases, and it costs only 12 euros. I will definetely repurchase it, I actually did a month ago.

The Body Shop Coconut Body Butter

This is my favorite summer body butter, I've repurchased it many times in the past, it has the perfect coconut scent, and a tube of it it lasts me for many months! I actually finished it  three days ago, and I think it was about time because now I want to use body lotions with warmer scents such as the Shea Body Butter and Vanilla Body Lotion also from The Body Shop.

Sephora Instant Eye MakeUp Remover

OK this eye make remover is so bad I can't even tell! It barely removes any mascara, it burns a little and it seriously stinks! I purchased it in a mini size a year ago when I was first trying some of Sephora's skincare products. It's a totally different product from my HG eye make remover also from Sephora, the Waterproof Eye MakeUp Remover which contains oil, and it removes my eye makeup quickly without any effort.

Liposan Classic Care

This lipbalm is the only one that I blindly repurchase every single time, I can't live without it. Some people hate it, propably because it's very creamy, but I suffer from dry lips at winter and summer, and it's the only one that helps my lips feel comfortable and not bleed.




Have you try any of these products? Did you like them? Let me know!
