Empties Since July

Empties from July to August so two months. I couldn't bring myself to tackle samples despite my goal to finish them. Also took photos a bit early, but you gotta seize the moment when you have time! Been so busy and tired so all beauty stuff has been secondary.


Face

Etude House Camellia Sheet Mask

Can't remember details so I guess the fit and scent were ok!


Brow Knife

These little knifes are so handy for brows or other facial hair... I did try shaving my facial peach fuzz and it was relatively easy with a new sharp knife and didn't get irritation. Maybe should do it again, the result is nice, but I am afraid of irritating my skin! I have a few knives left and going to purchase more.


Garnier Micellar Cleansing Gel Wash

My staple. Going to repurchase, haven't yet, I try to finish other cleansers first. 


Dr Lipp Nipple Balm Mini

Pure lanolin. Good stuff! Used this for lips and other irritated spots. Very effective. Had this in my coat pocket when travelling as well, a little goes a long way. Treatment and lip gloss in one. I have another mini somewhere... then I am going to purchase a lanolin product again, not sure from where, maybe just from pharmacy.


Lumene Nordic Hydra Aerating Gel Mask

Irritated my skin and got cysts! Wasn't really hydrating either. Maybe I am allergic to birch, the product has birch sap. So just tossing this almost unused old mask since I can't use it.


The Ordinary Ethylated Ascorbic Acid 15%

Expired, definitely. It had changed smell and feel on skin. Luckily there was only little bit left on the bottom (the serum is maybe 3 years old?). I have a habit of leaving a little bit of product to expire. Probably "just in case I need this serum as a backup" but it makes no sense and I am trying to stop it. But EAA 15% was nice Vitamin C serum for my skin! Despite it being only a derivate I felt my skin improved. But if you want a real science backed Vitamin C, go for Ascorbic Acid. I could repurchase EAA15%.


Body

The Body Shop Shower Gel Mango

Fruity, summery, tropical. I like TBS shower gels and currently I am thinking of purchasing more. Mango was nice but I wouldn't purchase it myself, this was gift. I think I am more into floral scents.


Rexona Maximum Protectiom Sport Strength x2

My staples! I have one more backup but will have to repurchase soon...


Hair

Philip Kinsgley Elasticizer Egyptian Jasmine & Mandarin

Great product for dry and processed hair! This scent was too strong for me though. The original one is unscented.


Less Is More Herbal Tonic Scalp Treatment

Got this as a gift long time ago. Tried it a few times, but it just made my scalp and hair slimy and flat. Had a herbal scent. Now I just use the bottle as a water bottle to spray my hair.


Loton Micelarny Shampoo

So old! Bought in Poland when travelling before covid. This was better than the hotel shampoo, but otherwise nothing remarkable.


Head&Shoulders Classic Clean Shampoo

I do love these huge 1 liter bottles! Don't have to repurchase very often and don't have to clutter the shower with several different bottles. Good basic shampoo.
