Empties (Feb)- A quick review

Empties for the month of February!

Essential Ultra Honey & Shea Butter Hair Mask:
Wonderful hair mask at dirt cheap price!
Reviewed here.

The Body Shop Extra Virgin Minerals Powder:
New holy grail loose powder foundation. This is an improved version of their
previous mineral foundation. The undertone of the powder is less pink and
more neutral. Texture is also light and blendable. Most importantly it does not
break me out!
Will most definitely repurchase!

HABA SQUA Powder Wash:
This was too drying for my skin. Will not repurchase.
I used this to wash my makeup sponges in order to use this up!

The Body Shop Rainforest Radiance:
This is a conditioner for coloured hair. I got 4 bottles of 60ml each in
one of their sales. This conditioner did not condition my hair well at all.
Each bottle would only last me a week as I had to use a whole lot of product
before it would even untangle my hair!
Will not be repurchasing!

Fancl Lotion AC Sample:
Lovely toner for acne prone skin. I applied two samples onto my forehead which
was getting all bumpy for some strange reason and it flattened the bumps considerably.
Will get this during my birthday month to take advantage of their member perks.

Crabtree & Evelyn Lavender triple milled soap:
Smells really relaxing and it is easy to rinse off. Besides the lavender scent,
it is pretty much an ordinary piece of soap to me.

Guardian Kid's Wipes:
Another pack gone. :)

Kiehl's Ultra Light Daily UV defense Sample:
This sunscreen is very light and does not feel sticky! After trying out this 5ml sample
for a week or so, I decided to get the full sized product (30ml).
I really love Kiehl's as they generously give out samples of their products for
their customers to try out before buying.
This does not make me break out and has a high SPF of 50 PA+++
with UVA protection.

Watsons Soft Square Puffs:
Ordinary cotton squares. These are really cheap. However, it is not of the best quality.
I use this with my Simple toner, or soak it with Avene's Thermal Spring Water
and separate the cotton squares to use it as a sheet mask.


Items tossed:

One silver eyeliner.
3 Lippies which were getting old. They're starting to smell waxy!
Ewww...

  1. My fav hair mask! Yuck.. I hate lipsticks that smell weird after a while =( I wouldn't use them anymore cos it just disgusts me and I can taste it (although that might sometimes be psychological)

  3. @Isabel: I love that mask too! Have finished 2 of the honey hair mask and currently trying their hair treatment which comes in the tube!

    @Janet: Do check it out! I recently got 3 of their old version of loose powder foundation and can't wait to go through those! I thought it would probably be the same but I'm so much more impressed with the newer formulation!
