Empties from May to June

I am so behind posting my empties, heh. But I still try to do it, I like looking back what I have thought about things. 

Face

Medik8 Crystal Retinal 6

Have repurchased the 20. So good, yet so expensive. I don't understand why the price creeps up the higher you get on retinal ladder. It can't be that much more expensive to manufacture.

Dr Lipp Original Nipple Balm

Sooo old... got in LF Advent Calendar. Very effective for lips, nails etc. Lanolin is great ingredient. Could repurchase.

Biore UV Watery Essence SPF50+ PA++++

I think this was ok sunscreen. It has cult following but it is not all that amazing. It did not break me out and worked nicely with makeup so I wouldn't mind using again, but I will not go out of my way to repurchase. I have become lazy!

Avene Cicalfate Repairing Protecting Cream

Great night time moisturizer! Calms my skin, good after using retinoids, acids etc. Doesn't break me out despite being protecting. I have repurchased.

Body 

Rexona Maximum Protection Antiperspirant Sport Strength

Great stuff. Only antiperspirant I can use. 

Chloe Eau de Parfum Tester

I actually did buy a full size of this perfume as well. The tester grew on me. But now I am unsure, maybe the scent is too overpowering after all. It is so difficult with fragrances, it all depends on seasons etc!

Hair

L'Oreal Elvital Oil Erasing Scalp Serum

Have repurchased. Not a miracle, but does freshen up the scalp. Must admit I have used the serum also for my feet...

Shopping from May to August

I thought I would come here to write something along the lines of "I bought nothing during last four months!" but it seems I actually did... memory is a weird thing. Also forgot to check in at two months that I usually do.

Altogether I spent about 178€ and a few things were gifts. I think I'm getting good at repurchasing trusted favorites and ignoring impulses.

I also did go to hair stylist, 200€, and got my nails done at a salon, 80€. I got the nail strengthener gel base. After two weeks I'm pretty pleased, polish still looks acceptable even though I do some physical work and I have banged my nails a bit. Can't get this result with my home kit. It's just that I can't afford to go get my nails done every month and I still don't know if my own nail bed is destroyed after these gels are removed!

I bought lots of gym clothes as well. Gymshark is actually quite good if you buy on sale. The same goes for IcanIwill. 

Currently I am looking more into salon treatments. For lashes, dermaplaning or sugaring face, also liposuction/skin removal and botox. But first I want to lose a few kg more to see if I could manage with non invasive treatments. 

MEDIK8 CRYSTAL RETINAL 20

MEDIK8 CLARIFYING FOAM

ACO INTIMATE CARE CLEANSING WASH

VICHY DERCOS ANTI-DANDRUFF SHAMPOO

Repurchases! Crystal Retinal is so good, calming but effective. I can tell that 20 is stronger than 6. Still, the jump is doable and not irritating at all. Clarifying Foam is just magic, works great for my skin. 

Vichy shampoo and Aco cleansing wash are both great and will repurchase them as long as they are available.

L'Oreal Glycolic Gloss Conditioner

L'Oreal Oil Erasing Scalp Serum

Dove Shower Mousse with Rose Oil

These were gifts (shopping with mom...). The hair products are repurchases, both are good for price. Shower mousse just looked cute!

Bioderma Purifying Cleansing Foaming Gel

Nivea Shower Gel Rose&Jasmin

K18 Peptide Prep Detox Shampoo

My hair stylist recommended K18 shampoo and because I had asked for something deep cleansing, I took it. Haven't tried it yet. 

I've used other Nivea Shower Gels, so basically a repurchase. This is just different scent. They are okay, good for price. 

Bioderma was impulse purchase but it was cheap at about 6€ (idk maybe some soon expiring batch or it's discontinued?). It is nice cleanser, mild fresh scent, doesn't irritate, seems to cleanse well. I think it cleanses better than Medik8 Clarifing Foam but Medik8 keeps my skin more clear.
