Empty products of the week 2 :)

Hello! Time to do some empties this week :) Well actually it has been this month... or a bit more since my last EOTW post.. I was saving some of these packagings and now I feel like it's time to write the next post and say what is worth to repurchase, what was good and what sucked... I kinda spaced out and forgot to write about these, and than I already had a couple more to write about than just two or three.. so here go short reviews and comments :)

Also used up a deo roll on by Rexona Crystal Clear Aqua, which was a pretty good product, had a nice scent to it. I used it up quite fast. I like their deo's and I will probably by one soon, I already had a couple of theirs and they seem to be working well with my skin and my needs. Sorry, there's no photo, I forgot about it and threw the packaging away as soon as I was finished with it.

Starting with a toner by a Slovenian brand named Kahne, I must say I am right now thinking of repurchasing it again. I was searching for a good toner and I have read a lot of comments and reviews and everyone was inclined to suggest me Paula's Choice or Derma E, which are both too expensive for a toner, if you ask me. I was using this 2 times per day, so the bottle didn't last long. So it's kinda the best buy, but I really wanted to try something else...Here's a full review for this product :) Next to it is a product by Schwarztkopf Gliss Kur, it's a nutritive product for split hair ends.  Really liked this one, can't say if it was the best I have tried, but it did the job pretty well. Only at the end I was kinda having trouble with my hair, the first day after washing they looked fine and the hair ends looked whole. The next day they broke out and they looked really damaged... sometimes this happened right after washing.. I have no explanation for it, as it was different from the start ... something changed with my hair, I guess. Normally I would repurchase, but at the moment I am looking for something new to try. Also, to use up the product you will need to cut it and dig in with fingers, because the pump just won't let any of the product out anymore, and I still had enough for two weeks...

Next is a cleansing milk by Dr. Hauschka. I actually received this one when it was on about a third left, just to try and see how it works. It's really creamy and gentle, has no destinctive scent, just something gentle, not  disturbing. Comes with a pump in a glass bottle, so take care you don't drop it.. I liked it, it's alos pretty nourishing and maybe a bit more for the dry type of skin, or maybe the mixed ones could use it too. If you have oily skin, I recommend not to use it everyday. It desolves make up pretty good, but I needed  to wash my face well after using this, because it left a layer on my skin I really didn't like. Also a bit pricey, so I will not repurchase. Next to is a body butter by Perfecta, which it took me a long time to use up. I got this one from Poland, and I don't think this is available in Slovenia anywhere.. This was an amazingly scented product, really creamy, chocolaty, the texture was more like a mousse, which was really nice to use. It didn't feel heavy on the skin and it absorbed faster than normal body butters. I would definitely repurchase this if  I could. Claims to have a firming effect on the skin, which I cannot confirm since I used it on and off..

Next is a shower gel by L'Occitane, which I was also saving for like two years... And I have finally finished it. It had a really nice scent to it, but nothing more. It didn't dry my skin, but it also didn't give it any moisture. I think this was limited edition and even if I could, I wouldn't repurchase it. It was ok, but nothing special, aside for the scent. Next to it is a toner by Krasna, another slovenian brand, which I really loved and you can read the full review here. I am also thinking of repurchasing it soon, this one or the Kahne one.. Well, the only problem I have with this one is that now I have no discounts for it.. so it's kinda pricey, about 12 euros for 200 ml, and the Kahne one is less than 4 euros for the same amount. Last on the photo is a shower gel by Nivea, which promises to be gentle and suitable for sensitive skin. I think this is more for normal skin, as I felt it dry up my skin a couple of times. Definitely not for everyday use. The scent was nothing special, the product in general doesn't irritate the skin, but it's not  good enough for me to wish to repurchase it.

Last photo in this post presents a mini body butter by Alverde. This was last Christmas collection, and it came packaged in a little box with three different little body butters. I gave two away as gifts and I kept one for myself. I liked it, but it felt heavy on the skin, just like almost every cream or lotion I ever had by Alverde. This is not available in DM stores anymore, even if it was I probably wouldn't repurchase. It was an ok body butter, with certificat claiming to be made rom natural ingredients, which is also a big bonus. If this come sout next winter I will probably buy it, because the price was really cheap and the product pretty good considering. But it's too heavy for any other time than winter, unless you have a really really dry skin, than this would work for you in summer time too. And the last product is another toner for face, this time by Dr.Scheller. Another brand that has natural ingredients in it, this is from their Pomegranate line. I used to have the Pomegranate wasch gel, which was ok at first, than started to dry my skin. This was also the case with this toner. I got it from a friend, already a bit used. It feels gentle on the skin, doesn't irritate or cause any further skin problems. But it has this really strong smell, which I really didn't like. Anyway, for a toner this is pretty good, but more on the average side.. I probably won't repurchase it, but if you are interested you can buy it DM store, plus they offer discount at the moment. 

So this is it for this week /month :) Have you tried any of these products? Did you like them? 

P.s. - Do you have any suggestions for a good face toner? I will need one soon, as I am running out of my Melvita Orange blossom floral water.

Hope this was useful to you! Thanks for reading!

Empties No.2

Hello! Here's another post about my used up products. I had like four more posts ready for you, but didn't have the time to post them. And than I had problems with my computer, which I have already told you about and all the photos are gone. So now we start again from zero. :)

This time I have used up four products. From left to right are:  Dr.Scheller pomegranate waschgel, Bourjois deodorant for sensitive skin, Balea dry shampoo and Alverde lip balm.

I've been repurchasing  this product for about one year and a half, in this time it also had a makeover in design, but I think the ingredients are all the same. I find this product really gentle, efficient, makes my skin really clean, does not incourage any pimples, redness, dry skin. But than this winter I had some problems with this product. After washing my face felt very tightened and dry, I have no idea why. So I used it up at the same time as my skin went crazy and I started using some really creamy, moisturizing face cream before going to bed and it got better. So I guess my skin got really dry, dehidrated and it decided to go really really dry for the first time in my life. Now that I got my skin back in order this product is also back on my "to buy" list :)

Here are also the ingredients :)

Next is this Bourjois deodorant. I really like the scent, it smells great. It's a spray, but it dries very quickly, it also lasted a long time. I used it daily, for two-three months. No skin irritations after shaving and using this, so far all of their deodorants worked well with my skin. Also, the most important, does not leave white marks! None at all, really a success for me, every other deodorant that makes the same promises did not really keep them. Will definitely repurchase!

Balea dry shampoo is a good product, but nothing above the average. My hair tends to get greasy really fast, I need to wash it every other day or something like that and this helps me too look a little bit better for a couple of hours, but no more. Also you need to be careful how much you spray on, you don't want your hair to look white! I have already repurchased it, but only because I didn't know what else to get, nothing convinced me so far. When I find a better one, I'll stop buying this one.

Alverde lip balm Calendula (marigold) is one of my all time favourites and I've repurchased this many times. It's rather greasy on the lips, so if you don't like that feeling on your lips this will not be great for you. But the effects of this product on my lips are very good! A lip balm that actually helps me keep my lips  smooth, hydrated, not chapped and dry and hurting. Also helps to heal faster than any other lip product I currently own. Also, has a scent, it does not bother me, I like marigold, I use it on daily basis, but it might not be for everyone. In that case you can choose the other Alverde lip balm, scented with vanilla and mandarines. I love both of these and they are never off the list of things to buy :)

All products can be bought in DM stores, that's where I got them. Balea  and Alverde are dm brands, you can see the little signs on the products. :)

These four have been my constants for this winter, all in all I am very satisfied with my buys and even more - I got to finish them. More products awaits :D


Thanks for reading! :)

Empties no.1

I'm starting a new series of posts. I liked them on other blogs, so I decided to give it a try too! Plus it makes me use the cosmetics I already have at home, because I started to pile up so many different things! It was time to start using already bought products to the end and here are the first ones that got empty!
First one on the photo is Fa Body Lotion in Sensual! I loved the smell, it was very nice and the texture got dry really fast, it did not leave any stain on clothes. Here's more of the review :)

Ingredients for Fa body lotion :)


Second on the photo is Palmolive Ayurituel  joyous shower gel! Amazing scent! Really loved this one! Affordable, doesn't cause any ski irritations, and the fragrance of lotus is to die for!

Labello Pomegranate was a fantastic lip balm, smelled so deliciously! Unfortunately it went out of sale, so it is not available in Slovenia anymore. Read more about lip balm here :)




Ingredients for hand cream by Dr. Scheller :) This hand cream is really good! It dries very fast, the texture is very creamy and it has that significant smell of calendula, so some might not like it as much. It made my nails stronger and the skin around nails recovered more quickly, especially now in winter :)

Balea Anti - spliss serum was here still in the old packaging, but I already got a new one, and this one has a new bottle. The whole line was renewed. I'm not sure about the ingredients thou, I threw away the box too soon, so I can not say if there's a difference. This product I am used to have at home at all time, I always use it after washing my hair. It's perfect for split ends on long hair plus very good at preventing them! I would recommend this to anyone with very long hair prone to split ends. :)

So this is it, these are my first empties to made it to the blog. Have you tried any of these products? Did you like them,or did the irritate your skin?

Thanks for reading! :)
