February Empties (To buy or not to buy... That is the question!!)

I know it is already Mid- March and I'm a bit late but I'm sure you will forgive me if I tell you I was home enjoying my holiday and spending time with my family.
I normally never have any empties because I have several products that all do the same thing, but 2015 brought a new resolution which is to use my products and not to open any before i finish the half used ones. As a result this month I do have some products, not as much as I wished but enough to make me proud :)
Follow me to see which of the one I will be repurchasing and which I wouldn't.


The first product is the body shop Cocoa Body Butter for very dry skin. Initially I was looking for the famous Chocomania but I didn't like the smell. This one is the only smell I enjoyed from the whole selection unfortunately. I love the texture of those butters on the skin and the hydrating lasting effect; therefore I needed to purchase this product again (buying again the same made me hesitate) ... until I found another limited edition 'Blueberry' (I fell immediately in love <3 <3)


The second product I finished is Oriflme's Tender Care Protecting Balm. I normally use it for my cuticles and nail care as explained in a previous article. But sometimes also for my lips if they are very damaged. It can also be use on any dry skin all over the body (knees, elbows ...). Will I purchase it again? ... I don't need I have 3 more new ones in coco, almond and cherry scents ;)

To hydrate my hands I used to buy Oriflam creams, some were not what I like the most and some are my favorites. I decided to give another chance to the old Nivea Refreshing Soft Moisturizing Cream with Jojoba oil and vitamin E. Unfortunately I was disappointed :( I don't like the texture of it because if feels like putting water on my hands. I can't touch anything during the process or everything will have an oily print from my fingers. In addition to this I need to apply it every few minutes because it not very hydrating enough. I will definitely not purchase it again and I already replaced it with the Victoria Secret hand cream.

Always taking care of the hands and the nails, I finished two other products. The first one is Herome EasyDip which is a nail polish remover, They say in the product description that I just need to fill it with a normal nail polish remover and use it again, so that what I will do ;) the other product is the Herome Nail Hardener Strong which does good job to my nails and simulate them to grow and not to break. I have already purchased a new one <3

For the hair I finished Masque Capilaire 4.3 (pre-made hair mask) of skinfood. I have already talked about this product in my Damaged/Curly Hair Organic, Natural Mask article. The mask contains different natural oils such as Coconut Oil, Palm Oil, Jojoba Oil ... I love this mask, its texture, its smell and how healthy my hair feels after its usage. Will I buy it?  Definitely, but once I finish all those masks sitting on my bath shelf :p



Another resolution of 2015 is to take of my makeup every night before I sleep (Yes I know it is a must but lazy me don't do it that often). Now I'm happy to tell u that I finished a makeup remover which is Lancome Bi-Facial. They claim it is not oily, instant cleanser and for sensitive eyes. It is true that it doesn't make my eyes itchy and remove the makeup just fine but I hate that "oily" film it leaves on my eyes. I wouldn't be purchasing it and I will be back to my favorite make up remover the Taaj Himalaya Micellar Water.




I also did finished my Johnson's baby gentle cleansing wipe. I use the baby ones because I assume they are more gentle in the skin and include less chemicals (I'm not sure though all I know is they work amazing for me). I always have them on hands so yes I will purchase them again and again and again.

For my face I have also finished two masks in sample size: The apricot Mask of Academie which is supposed to give a glowing effect of the skin I was able to use the sample size 4 times so it is not enough to give an objective review but I didn't notice anything special so I wouldn't purchase the full size of it. The other sample size I completed is Lierac Masque Confort and I'm sooo in love. It is so hydrating that it leaves my skin happy. I would definitely purchase the full size as soon as I put my hands on it.





The last product I have finished this month is the Avon Glimmerstick Brights EyeLiner in boldest black. I love those eyliners I have them in all their colors. I do have another black that is almost soon to be finished, so I will definitely purchase them again.






Let me know if you have used any of those products, and what do you think about them.

Feel free to suggest me other products that are your favorites :)
