Somehow the second half of 2018 escaped me at a speed of light and I just realized that I haven't posted any "empties" reports for good 6 months. however I have been diligently collecting my empties for a group photo... I am not going to bore you with huge description of each item, just a quick summary to say what I think. 1. Dessert Essence Raspberry Conditioner - smelled like stale dried cranberries and made my hair very heavy and oily. Pass. 2. Jergens Natural Glow Gradual Tan - not a bad product, took a while to build-up nice colour and felt a bit heavy. 50/50. 3. Yves Rocher Apricot Scrub - I got it because of apricot jam smell but as a scrub it wasn't that great. Pass. 4. Kloraine Tinted Dry Shampoo - my favorite brand of dry shampoo however i prefer the clear version. 5. Clinique Take the Day off Cleansing Balm - got it because of hype (and free GWP), it wasn't as good as some of the cleansing oils and gels I've tried plus it felt a bit

Boom and another month is gone! Another nine items are done and dusted. Here is what I finished in May. 1. Sephora Bi-phase Make-up Remover My overall impression - very similar to lots of other bi-phase make-up removers out there and to be honest they seems to be phasing out (pun intended). Would I buy it again? No. They don't work well in my opinion as I always seem to have traces of mascara left behind plus I always end up with a weird fild on my face that I need to wash off. 2. Lush Candy Cane Roulade My overall impression - It came as a part of Christmas gift pack and had super strong smell but when I was using it it filled the shower with the most gorgeous sweet mint scent almost identical to candy cane. It also felt very creamy but unfortunately went a bit soggy. Would I buy it again? Not sure, loved the scent but wasn't a fan of sogginess. 3. Kerastase Christaliste Shampoo My overall impression - I fell in love with this shampoo as it seemed to be

April was very fruitful when it came to empties and as a result my drawers are looking a lot better. 1. Wella Hydrate Mask My overall impression - I was recommended this hair mask few years ago when my hair was long, blonde, brittle and dry. I needed a non-bias advice so I went to the shop that had many professional brands. It saw instant results and haven't looked back. It infuses my hair with a lot of needed moisture yet it doesn't weight it down (fine and straight). Would I buy it again? - Yes, this is my 4th or 5th jar. 2. Petitfee Gold Hydrogel Eye Patches   My overall impression - This was my first lot of Korean gel eye patches and I really liked them. I saw good reviews on iHerb and was sold. It fits under my under eye area perfectly and feels very nice and soothing. You do have to use them up withing three months otherwise the serum they are infused with is going to dry out. Would I buy them again? - Yes, they didn't cost much but moisturis

It has been a while since my last blog post. So finally I got motivation to sit down and write a post about my recent empties and share my thoughts about them. This year I have also made a decision to minimize my possessions and use up the make-up and skincare products I already have. It also means that I have decided not to buy any more for a whole year to see what happens. I might do a separate post about it. First quarter of the year in and my stash is already starting to look more manageable. This is what I have emptied in march. 1. Alfaparf Semi Di Lino Conditioner My overall impression - I got this conditioner when I dyed my hair red to help with colour maintenance. It had light texture yet left my hair moisturised. The scent was nice too - very clean and subtle. Would I buy it again? - Yes, it was a good-quality professional product and did what it supposed to. I would have to hunt it down in special though as it can retail for quite a lot. 2. Anastasia Beverly H
