My first ever empties post. Are you excited? I am! Now, for these kind of posts, I'll be stating the products that I used up as well as giving a brief review of each. I really think these kind of posts helps in providing a good reference point for the consideration of the purchase of a certain product.
(YAY) Colgate Maximum Cavity Protection Toothpaste in Fresh Cool Mint with liquid calcium
I feel that this is an average toothpaste, it does nothing wondrous for me but only to maintain my teeth in terms of cleanliness. I've used the Cavity Protection Toothpaste from Colgate before and this obviously is an improved formulation. Liquid Calcium couldn't hurt either.
(YAY) Biore Glowing Bright Facial Foam with micro scrub
I love this. For just $2.50 at the Value Shop, this is a thick and creamy wash with a pleasant smell. The micro scrubbing beads are really gentle on my face too.
(YAY) Intimate Secret Purifying Body Scrub in Sheer Attraction
This is a lovely gentle body scrub in a pretty packaging. It has a nice scent and for just $2 from Sasa, hellloooo! I think it can be more moisturising though.
(NAH) Ikea small candles in rose scents
Hate the formulations of these small candles. They do not burn properly and has a lot of wax that cannot be burnt. They also do not have a strong scent when burnt. No love for these at all.
(YAY) Watsons 15 Vitamin C + Zinc Effervescent Tablets
I love the taste of this, and Zinc is good for the nails. It makes me wanna drink this everyday and I feel like I'm drinking Fanta Orange. I got two more boxes of these, need I say more?
(NAH) Johnson's Body Care 24hr Lasting Moisture Body Lotion
A sample sized bottle and a very normal body lotion. I don't care for this. There're so many lotions out there.
(NAH) ELF All Over Color Stick in Pink Lemonade
Oh this is too shimmery, too frosty. It has a warm pink shade, but it's too frosty for a blush or lip colour and too pink to be a highlight. It is pretty creamy, but when I try to put on my lips, it's very drying. A fail.
(YAY) MAC Black Gel Liner
I think it's the Hello Kitty collection? Anyway, it's very creamy and easy to apply as a eyeliner. Does smudge slightly (overly creamy) so I'll put setting powder on top so it won't not budge so easily. Overall, a decent product.
(YAY) Coastal Scents Gel Liner in 05
Pretty deep blue colour, which I felt was pretty pigmented and creamy. Worth a try, just try not to let it dry out.
(YAY) Dot Dot Gel Eyeliner
It's a shimmery black liner and I used to love it for night outs or parties. This baby is dried up and have fall-outs whenever I applied it now. I have fallen out of love.
(YAY) EDM Concealer in Lavender
I used this under the eye area and at the brow bone to highlight. It's very lightweight and a thin layer is enough to see the coverage it gives. A decent product.
(YAY) Natural Collection Solo Eyes Eyeshadow in Heather
It's very silky and smooth to apply on the lids. Love the colour itself, I can wear this almost everyday. Yumz.
(YAY) Bio-Essence Deep Nourishing Toner with pine pollen
A really normal toner; my face feels tighten and it does remove my impurities.
(NAH) Vaseline Lip Therapy in Cherry
When I opened this up to try the first time, I was disappointed already. The packaging makes it look like it's a tinted lipbalm. It's moisturising I must say. However, it's a boring colourless product so I won't be re-purchasing it. Also, it's pretty oily so it slides around on my lips.
(YAY) VS Ultra Moisturising hand and body cream in Sweet Temptation
The scent of this is oh-so-nice! It's sweet yet calming. For moisturising both hands and body...great!
(YAY) Camay Chic Body Soap
Love the scent, it smells powdery and sweet at the same time...creamy and foams up pretty well!
(YAY) Harmony Body Soap in Fuji Apple
I love Harmony soaps because they all smell sweet and fruity; very refreshing! However, they do foam up pretty slowly so you need more patience with these. However, with its low price and nice scent, I still like them!
(NAH) Clarus Cucumber 24 Makeup Remover Tissues
Hate these. Tugs at my skin and still does not remove my makeup effectively. A total no-no.
(YAY) Garfield Citrus Wet Tissues 60 Wipes
Love the texture of these tissues, very smooth and gentle on my skin. I like the hard cover instead of a sticker to seal it up. Yay!
(YAY) Sexylook Firming and Whitening Mask
Oh I love how the mask hooks onto my ears to firm up my face. I don't really have these kind of masks. Time to shop for these!
(YAY) MBD Chocolate Mask
(YAY) MBD Chocolate Truffle Sheet Mask
Both are pretty moisturising and I feel that they do brighten up my face as well. If you love the scent of chocolate, these are for you.
(YAY) The Face Shop Collagen Essential Masksheet
This is the most moisturising mask I have used for this month. My face stays hydrated and soft throughout the night till the next day without needing to apply any moisturiser.
xoxo,
April
