Empties #11 :)


Hello! Have you missed my empty products posts? Haven't posted in a while, my last empties post was at the beginning of August, so here's about three months of empties. I did try to use up a lot of different products, so here's the bunch! 


From Dvorec Trebnik I have used up three products!  About Sea-buckthorn collection I have already posted on my blog, I actually did two separate posts and you can read them here (sorry, only in Slovene) - Dvorec Trebnik part 1 and part 2. I will try not to repeat myself, so I am just gonna say, this collection is pretty amazing and if you have a chance to try something really go for it! I gave some of the products to my mum, as she really likes their products and wanted to tyr this line as well. So you won't be seeing shower oil, massage oil and hand gel in my empties as I gave them to her and she also seemed to be really loving these! I have yet to finish the body milk from the collection but I admit I am saving it up a bit. The third product I have not posted about yet, but I promise you it will be properly reviewed this month! It's a new shower gel called Juicy orange from their new collection dt. I really loved the fresh scent of this shower gel, it didn't dry up my skin and it also made my whole bathroom smell juicy! More in the upcoming review of dt products!


A bunch of Balea shower gels! I have used up Balea Dusch-Bodymilk Vanille as base for shaving my legs, not so much as a shower lotion, as I felt it was too greasy on my skin and didn't leave me with a fresh feeling. I like to feel my skin completely fresh and without any greasy residue after shower and I felt like this left some traces of the product on my skin. I know it's supposed to as it's supposed to nourish your skin while you shower, buy I guess my skin is not dry enough to need so much nourishment. Anyway, this works great for me as a shaving cream and I will probably be repurchasing. The other three shower gels didn't impress me much. They are just standard Balea shower gels that have a nice scent and do their job. I liked the least After Sun Dusche, so I ended up using it as a hand wash. I did however like the scents of  Hibiskus&Nektarine as it was really juicy and fresh and also the scent of Vanille&Cocos as it was more milky, sweet and more on the vanilla side than coconut, still Loved to use it up! I don't think I will be repurchasing though, I liked them, but just not that much.


And some more shower gels! Yes, I use them up quite fast and I do use a lot of them, but considering I have more than one shower gel open at once I can finish a couple more in almost three months time, especially as some were open and waiting to be used up for a long time. One of my favourite shower gels of all time was this shower foam from Adria Spa and it smelled divine! It's perfect for all lavander lovers! I have posted a full review for this one here :) From Palmolive I had one of their latest arrivals - So Vibrant Pearly shower gel with essential oil (ginger and hibiscus). Loved the fresh scent, felt good on ym skin and in general I have been really satisfied with this one, so I might think about repurchasing it! From Nivea I have finished two products, one is shower gel Frangipani&Oil and the other is Creme Peeling. Loved both products, the scents of these two were amazing and I would repurchase both! Especially the Creme Peeling as it's really creamy, has some fine peeling parts in it, is very gentle and effective at the same time and makse my skin really soft and leavse some gentle scent!


Finished up another Nivea product, an  Nivea Soft moisturizing universal cream I actually used as a hand cream. Really loved the gentle scent and it is already on my list for repurchase! The other product is by L'Occitane and it's from the Jasmin & Bergamote collection and I really loved this body milk! I would repurchase full size any time, if I could. My stash of body lotions is simply too big. It's got  a very light texture, sinks into the skin fast and really does the job as it should, I loved it! I have also posted a full review for this product and you can read it here :)


Nivea has become one of my favourite brands, by the looks of this empties post :P I did really love this 3 in 1 Micellar Cleansing Water. It worked so much better than any other I have had so far! I have never posted about it on my blog, but from all the micellar waters I have tried this one is by far my favourite. It's gentle and very effective, one swipe really removes almost everything (only a face brush does it better), never needed much of the product to remove a full face of makeup. Also my skin never had any bad reactions to it, it always worked really well for me. Also it's not too expensive and I will be repurchasing very soon! The second product I have used up is by Noemie Cosmetics and it's Purifying Toning Lotion. I really loved that it was so gentle to my skin! I am thinking of repurchasing it, as it has grown on me and my skin liked this one a lot. I have posted about this toner here :)


And a mix of empties, two of the products have been ampy since mid August, but I have not posted my empties until now. I have been using Garnier Ambre Solaire Ideal Bronze spf 30  and  Garnier Ambre Solaire Sensitive advanced spf 50 during my summer holidays. I must say I did like the Ideal bronze lotion, it provided me with a lovely colour and protection. But I disliked the face cream as it caused me a brekout. Still it provided me with enough protection and didn't feel greasy. Next year though I will only repurchase Ideal bronze lotion. Also used up another deodorant, this time by Dove, it's their go fresh anti-perspirant and it the scent was perfect for summer, but I used it up quickly as I needed to reapply a lot. Now I am using Borotalco and I have been using one deodoarnt for over two months now! I am so impressed by it, only need to apply it once a day, it does it's job amazingly well! And the last empty here is a standard repurchase for me, I have been repurchasing this one like for ever, since it has been released when I was still in highschool! Basically, almost for 10 years! Veet In shower Hair Removal Cream is one fo the products I seem to repurchase every time as they have simply not come up with anything better and more effective to use under shower.


Some products for face I have finished include  Garnier Hautklar Wasabi Clean peeling, AlpStories Cleansing Gel Sage & Mint and Inell Lait Demaquillant makeup remover.  I had this Garnier peeling for some months and it did the job well, also loved the freshness of it! Would repurchase but already have a stash of products at home. Anyway, for anyone who likes products with a fresh scent and feel on the skin after use, this might be good for you! The particles are not too small or too big and just the right density, this was gentle enough and also did the job well at the same time. I have a whole post for the AlpStories cleansing gel and I must admit this has become one of my favourite cleansing gels of all time! You can read the full review here :) If you have a chance to try it out I really recommend it! Also used up another bottle of makeup remover from Inell, I think I will keep repurchasing this one as well, as it's really affordable and does the job well!


Have finished some of the lip balms as well! I had this one by Maybelline Baby lips Peach Kiss for a long time and it didn't really do anything for my lips, so I will not be repurchasing. It did add a bit of colour but the colour liked to crease on my lips and stick to my dry patches. Anyway, not something I liked or want to repurchase. The second lip balm is by Lip Smacker and it's Kiwi. I liked this one, it was fresh, and sweet and fruity. Did perform well on my lips, but is not very good at nourishing. My lips need some more care than this, so I won't be repurchasing. Maybe in summer time, but not right now. The third lip balm I used up is by Oriflame and it's theirs The ONE BB lip balm and I loved this one! The packaging, the scent, the texture, the light colour and shimmer this gives. It's also good at nourishing your lips, personally I really liked this one and I would repurchase! Finished one of my powders - finally done with Catrice Colour Correcting Mattifying powder in shade 010 Delicate Blossom. I liked it but it could do better. On my face this just didn't last that long and I was shiny too fast for my liking. I will not be repurchasing, but if you are interested you can read a full review here. The last product I have finished that you can see here is L'Occitane Pivoine Sublime CC cream in Light, one of my favourite products of this summer, if not the top favourite product! Really recommend you this one and love almost everything about it - you can read full review here! Repurchase - totally yes, but maybe next summer, as it's a very light product with light coverage.


Some empty Caudalie and DermEden testers. I will not talk much about these as I will post a short review of my impressions soon. From Caudalie I have tried  and loved Instant Detox mask, really effective, has a nice scent and I would love to try a full sized product. Also loved the Divine Oil, smells as the name suggests - divine! Also impressed by Divine legs tinted body balm, have never tried something like this before - gives quite a strong colour! Maybe I will buy it for next spring/summer season :) From DermEden I have tried D-day Protocole daily defense universal cream and Night protocole Intense anti-aging face cream. Both products were very promising, but will tell you more in a separate post!


And some late arrivals - products I have just finished up or I have forgtotten to take a picture! I have here two shower packs by WorldNaturelle, full review here :) I loved both of these and I really recommend you to try them sometime! Also finished up some testers of a new foundation - Deborah Milano  Dress Me Perfect 01 Fair. Loved the texture, application, coverage is quite strong, shade suits me really well, staying power is good! More or less I am very impressed by this foundation, but I will not be purchasing it just yet as I would like to wait and use up all the new foundations I have bought in September. Another tester I have used up is by Bottega  Verde, it's their Riso Venere hydrating face cream with Venere black Rice extract and Rice bran oil. Loved the scent and texture of this cream even though it's not really meant for my skin type. Felt very luxurious, but I have no idea how it would have turned out on the long run. Another toner I have just used up is by Natura Siberica  Cleansing tonic, it's actually a repurchase, my second bottle. Loved that it's so gentle, but I want to try something new now, so I won't be repurchasing just yet. And last two products I have used up are both one of my all time favourites - Caudalie Hand and Nail cream, you can find full review here, and L'Occitane Cleansing oil - full review here :) Loved  both products and would love to repurchase as soon as possible! Also I think both of these are pretty amazing to give as Christmas gifts!

So these were my empties! Have you tried any of these products? How did they work for you? :)

Hope this post was useful to you! If you liked it you can share it too!


Thanks for reading!

Love, UniqaPoly

    1. hvala ;) Haha, sem si jo res ja! Sem prav zadovoljna, ko vidim da mi nečesa zmanjka in da se lahko premaknem po zalogi izdelkov naprej :P Poleg tega pa vem, da je bil denar "upravičeno" zapravljen - sem vsaj porabila izdelek :P

  2. Tole Nivea micelarno pa morem kupit takoj po porabim Biodermo. Me res zanima če se bo razumela z mojimi očmi :)

    1. Meni je bila zelo fajn, čisto nežna. Micelarnih nikoli ne uporabljam na očeh, za oči imam ponavadi poseben odstranjevalec. tako da ne vem kako se bo obnesla tam. Ne vem zakaj ampak nikoli mi ne pride na misel, da bi si z micelarno odstranila očesni makeup - ja z oljem, drugimi odstranjevalci, sam z micelarno pa ne... haha!

    1. Sorry, I tend to talk a lot about my empties as I kinda write a mini review for them. Did you like Balea shower gel?

    2. I really like that to write properly about each product. It is great. It was just too many products in one time for me :)
      Balea shower gels are fine. Nothing special, just nice smell :) I have few of them in my stash.
