Empties! Products I've Used Up - Volume 1

Hello my lovely readership!

Today I want to launch my first „Empties – Products I've used up“ post! I finally gathered some of the products I used up over the last month to give a short review on them and tell you if I would buy them again or not. Today we have nine different beauty products to go through so lean back and enjoy!

I will talk about the products from left to right in the order in the picture.



1. Nivea –  Pure & Natural Day Cream
I use this cream every day and I am very happy with it. It protects your skin from the sun, it nurtures dry skin and it's not to expensive for everyday use. Plus it doesn't contain parabens, silicones, dyestuffs and mineral oil so it's perfect for sensitive derma!

Rebuy: Yes!

2. Rituals - Qi Gong 24 anti-perspirant stick
A very reliable deodorant for every stressy situation. Only downside are the white stripes this product leaves on your clothes when you put on a dark coloured shirt. Otherwise I really love how you feel fresh the whole day long even when going to the gym.

Rebuy: Yes!

3. Maybelline Jade – Pure Make-Up Mineral
It has a nice fluid consistence perfectly for applying, highly pigmented without looking too cakey yet not that good for oily skin since it leaves a shiny finish which you have to powder a lot.

Rebuy: Yes but due to my skin issues since a year sadly a no.

4. Rituals – Yogi Flow Foaming Shower Gel Sensation
I love how this shower gel foams up when you apply it to the skin. It also spreads a lovely scent which sadly doesn't linger on overly long after showering also it doesn't nourish my dry skin enough.

Rebuy: Yes but I will purchase other scents because I can't help but try out all the other lovely varieties by Rituals plus the small size of this foam is perfect for traveling.

5. Biorderma – Sensibio H2O Solution Micellaire
I couldn't wait to talk about this product! I fell in love with this solution micellaire since it prevents my skin from freaking out. Additionally it takes off my make-up with ease. There is no better facial water then this - for me. I tried out a lot of different brands and most of them dried out my skin a lot. So nothing has won me over as much as this facial water!

Rebuy: YES!

6. Micro Cell 2000 – Nail Repair Remover
Well it's a regular nail polish remover in my opinion. It's not bad and it's not revolutionary.

Rebuy: Maybe.

7. CD – Waterlily Deodorant Roll On
This product wasn't strong enough for high stress levels which lead to strong sweating. It smells really good at first but after a while when it's mixed with sweat it gets kind of musty.

Rebuy: Unfortunately no.

8. Nivea – Anti-Transpirant Invisble for Black and White
Don't be surprised about all the deodorants. I have been trying out a lot of them lately. This is a good basic deodorant. It keeps the smell away for long, it doesn't leave marks of sweat or white stripes on the clothes and the smell is subtle. This is a very good balance to the Rituals anti-perspirant I mentioned above.

Rebuy: Yes!

9. Ralph Lauren – Big Pony 2 for Women
It is really rare for me to use up a perfume. But now it happened - yieks. This perfume was fruity due to the fragrance of cranberry, fresh and very sweet. I wore it mostly last summer and loved it. But since I am linking it too much with last year I am not sure if I want to buy it again this year since there are so many awesome smells popping out at the moment which I'd rather rebuy.

Rebuy: Maybe next year.


I hope you enjoyed this post and I can't wait to see you guys on my blog next time!


Yours,

Pink April Favourites - Beauty

Hello my lovely readership!

I hope you all enjoyed the spring so far! I know it's a week late but I think I can still make a post on my april favourites. So sit back and enjoy a pink journey with my beauty favs of the last month.


The product I used most was probably the Essie "Need A Vacation" nailpolish. It suited the spring in every way, stayed on for days without chipping plus it's pink and I love pink. 

Second most used product was the MAC "Snob" lipstick. It's a cold pink tone. The texture is rather firm and the colour is  matt. You might think it looks pale and not flattering for people with a light skin colour but I was surprised how beautiful it looked in the end. It's definitely a colour to fall for.

Another beauty product I got for my lips is the Victoria Secret Beauty Rush lipgloss in the colour Candy Baby.You never had so good tasting, full lips. I am not a huge fan of lipglosses yet I always come back to the Victoria Secret ones since they really rock.

Let's move on to another lovely pink beauty fav. It's the Sleek Blush in the bright pink colour Flamingo. Easy to apply, highly pigmented and good to blend. What else to we expect from Sleek?

Okay I cheated. The Browdrama by Maybelline in the shade dark blond is not pink. Yet I couldn't make this post without mentioning it. I have very light facial hair. Especially my brows are mostly barely noticeable. So I was lucky when I saw that Maybelline just recently released this new product. It's comfortable to apply - just like using a Mascara. It keeps the brows in form and gives them enough colour to attract attention yet still looking natural. Thank you Maybelline for this brow saviour! 

Now to a perfume that you simply have to love. Betty Barclay's "Precious Moments" is a mixture of raspberry, cassis combined with a floral touch of peony and freesia. It's sweet and floral just like the first fruits of spring. 


I hope you enjoyed this post and I can't wait to see you next time!

Yours,
Kate
