Empties 2021: Part I

I finished few products last month and I would like to share them with you. They are all skincare products excepting one, but that is normal. I use makeup every day but I have different products and don’t use always the same.

Let’s go through what I finished:

The Body Shop – Camomile Cleansing Balm

I love it, simply. It melts my makeup really well, leaves my skin hydrated and smells amazing. I am using now one from a different brand I wanted to try and I have other brand’s cleanser waiting (I got it on one of my Advent Calendars). I am sure that I will re-purchase this one.

By the way, they have it in travel size also.

The Ordinary – ⍺-arbutin

I am using it to reduce my hyper pigmented areas and I have already other one in use. I will wait until this second one is finished before telling if it is working or not.

Nivea – Shower Cream Indulgent Moisture Rose

It is not a bad shower gel. It is creamy, makes good amount of lather and smells well. My skin is clean and hydrated after using it. Most probably I will buy it again.

Yves Rocher – Monoi Eau de Toilette

I love all the Yves Rocher eau de toilette but unfortunately they don’t deliver anymore to the UK. This one was a present I got last year in Spain, those times when we were allowed to travel. Sadly, I will not re-purchase it.

Olay – Cleansing Balm

I have been using it for a couple of months as a second step of the double cleansing. It is indicated for dry skin and leaves the skin clean without drying it. However, and that is personal, I don’t like it too much. It is not a balm but a cream and it doesn’t lather. I love cleansers which make good lather. I will not buy it anymore.

MUA – Hydrating Primer

Not the best primer in the market but it is good value for money. It is really affordable, hydrates the skin underneath foundation and makes it last longer. I already re-purchased it.

I have few more items which will be finished soon, but I will talk about them when they are over, in the following part.

In the meanwhile, did you try any of the product I mentioned? Let me know in the comments.

I love beauty and skincare, try new products, and share my opinion with you. All my knowledge comes from years of experience and reading articles.
