It's been a slower month empties-wise but that's quite frankly a relief to me - and maybe you too! No hard slog for the reader or the writer here this time! I'll try and keep the rambling to a minimum too.
Skin care
100) Natio Gentle Cleansing Wipes With Green Tea & Chamomile (24 wipes) - Wipes in a box! These were thick wipes with a natural herbal scent. Lovely, gently cleansing and left my skin feeling clean without being tight or dry. If I had to pick on one thing it would be that these could have been just a little wetter.
101) Vanedo Beauty Friends Green Tea Essence Mask - I'm loving my sheet masks! This one claims to be "firming, moisturizing, elastic" and I kid you not my forehead looked smoother and relaxed after this mask - at least for a few hours anyway. Who needs botox?
102) Skinlite Moisturizing Herb Mask - This sheet mask was formulated for dry skin and promised silky, deeply moisturized skin. 100% yes with this one! My cheeks felt soft and peachy like a baby's butt! Rave, rave, rave!
Hand and body care
103) Cetaphil Restoraderm Skin Restoring Body Wash (295ml) - I used this body wash to calm my skin after a nasty bout of eczema on my neck erupted in the middle of winter. Very creamy, fragrance free and super gentle on the skin. The bottle lasted quite a long time too. I would definitely repurchase this for a sensitive skin emergency.
104) OPI Expert Touch Lacquer Remover (120ml - 4 Fl. Oz.) - The most expensive of OPI's removers due to its "professional formula" and "superior performance". It did make slightly less work of removal so it's good for those impatient people like me who change their polish frequently and who don't mind paying around $12AUD for a bottle of remover. I still wish OPI would redesign their bottles and make them spill-proof. I've had so many incidents with tipping bottles!
105) MOR Orange Blossom Hand Cream - This hand cream had been forgotten about then rediscovered and loved by me as my overnight hand treatment. The blossom scent was subtle and the cream was a rich concoction of Vitamin E and Shea Butter. I believe it's been discontinued although MOR constantly brings out new decadent scents (and luxe packaging!) so I will definitely be buying more MOR!
Cosmetics
106) MAC Lustre Lipstick (Gem Of Roses) - I've wailed about the demise of this LE lipstick shade everywhere because I loved it. It's entirely my own fault becoming addicted to it and wearing it every day. On the plus side, this goes towards my next Back 2 MAC.
There you go. Short and sweet for September!
I haven't tried any of these! Not even one... that's slightly odd ;)
ReplyDeleteI can understand that in some cases - the sheet masks came from Hong Kong!
DeleteThe rest are local purchases though. The Cetaphil Restoraderm and the OPI remover are newer releases I think.
Not your usual massive count but FINISHED LIPSTICK. Good lord, woman - you are still empties queen to me. :)
ReplyDeleteHave you ever tried Zoya polish remover? I bought it only once because it's expensive, but the pump bottle is fantastic. I bought a giant jug of the OPI at discount and refill the Zoya bottle with it. Super handy!
I seriously was wearing that lipstick EVERY day for a while there so it's no superhuman effort!
DeleteDespite hearing good things about Zoya remover I've never tried it. You've given me a pretty good justification for buying some now because I love the idea of pump bottle!
The remover itself is pretty amazing too -- MUCH better than OPI in my opinion. Better for removing glitters and smells lovely, like lavender. GO SPEND! lol
DeleteKick me if I forget, will ya!
DeleteI wanted to buy Gem of Roses but didn't...but it did seem like the perfect pink!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely warm pink *sigh*. I believe Smashbox has a dupe (called Primrose) so I might check that out myself if it's still available!
DeleteI was thinking about trying out the OPI nail polish remover specially designed for glitter nail polishes a few months ago as I find it so annoying to remove. But i decided against it because its a bit expensive so I just persevere with glitter nail polish removal!
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize that OPI have a specific formula for glitter removal. I might look into that - like you I find glitter removal tries my patience and very often puts me off applying it in the first place!
DeleteLipstick gone! I haven't done that before. LOL! Skincare is easy to empty but makeup? Erm, let's not go there. Hahaha
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see your lipstick stash Lily!!!
