Products I Finished - (JANUARY Empties)
2:52:00 AM
Yay, my first Empties post of the year! ;)
Back in October I started a new blog post series called the "Empties / Products I Finished" posts, in which I encourage myself to finally finish all those bottles and jars of products that have been standing on my product stash for too long.
I have so many various products that's been sitting on my vanity and bathroom rack for so long, and I started to feel quite overwhelmed with them, And that is when the monthly "Empties" post comes in to save me ^o^
It feels really great to be able to finally finish those half-empty or half-full bottles that are accumulating on my racks and vanity. I felt really happy and excited every time I get to finish a product, and I also felt good to be able to not waste products. And then at the end of the month I accumulate all those plastic containers from the finished products, and throw them away on to the recycle bin. That is the most satisfying feeling.

I'm quite satisfied to be able to finish 2 full size containers of body lotions as well as 2 small size shower gels this time, because I have so many body lotions and shower gels that are already opened in my product stash. And it took quite a while to be able to finish just one full bottle of body lotion because I mainly only use them before bed time. So being able to finish two full size bottles at once was quite satisfying. Well, one of them was only about 1/4 left so it was an easy feat ;p
I also found a very old moisturizer (Mulondon organic mosisturizer) on the back of my vanity that were only about 1/2 of it left, but the formula was already bad and the smell was not the same as it was used to, so after a few applications that turned bad, I decided to throw it away.
I also intended to use a few sachets from my "sachet stash" which consist of samples and sheet mask sachets, but I only managed to finish 2 sachets this time. I promised myself that I'd try to use a few more sachets this February so that I can reduce the amount of my abundant sachet stash.

BODY LOTIONS:
- Willow Ridge Very Vanilla Moisturizing Body Whip
I got this from winning a giveaway a long time ago. This smells like a very yummy vanilla and the texture of the whipped lotion is also very smooth and buttery. It was my first time trying on a whipped-type lotion, and I liked it ;)
- Recommended? Yes.
- Repurchase? No, because it's not available here in my country, and although I like the scent but hubby didn't like it.

- MuLondon Organic White Chocolate Truffle Moisturizer with Shea Butter and Jojoba
This jar was recently out of sight. I was sent this for review purposes a super long time ago and I remember I loved it. Mulondon is a natural organic skincare brand and their products are made from natural & organic ingredients. This moisturizer was too rich for my face during the hot months so I mostly use this as body moisturizer because it's an all-purpose formula. The scent was described as white cocoa & bourbon vanilla. Too bad when I found it again recently, the texture and scent has gone bad :(

- Vaseline Total Moisture Cocoa Glow 24hr Nourishing Body Lotion
This is one of my most favorite body lotion, especially for night time use. And it's cheap too! You can find it in local drugstore or supermarket. I have featured this in my March 2012 favorites because I love it so much. The sweet cocoa scent is subtle but long lasting. It feels soothing and calming in some ways so it's perfect to use before bed time.

- Dodora Youthful Pink Pigment Brightening Essence
- Recommended? Hell, no!
- Repurchase? No.
Sachets:
- The Body Shop Nutriganics Drops of Youth (sample)
I got this sample along with a few other goodies from The Body Shop staff while I was collaborating on their BFFs program a while ago. The PR staff really raved about this product and said that it's one of their best seller worldwide where they claimed that one sold every minute! It's basically a pre-serum which you use before your serum. This feels luxurious and very rejuvenating. I simply love it a lot.
- Recommended? Yes.
- Repurchase? Yes, if they're having huge discount because it's pretty expensive ;p

- Garnier Pure Self-Heating Sauna Mask
This is a self-heating mask that comes in a sachet with 2 doses of masks
(the sachet has a split container that you can simply tear in two). The
description says to use it on T-zone area (forehead, nose, chin), and
since 1 dose contains lots of formula so I was able to use one dose of
mask for two times of usage. That means I got a total of 4 usage out of
the whole sachet. Not bad for the cheap price! It's my first time trying
on self-heating mask and although it felt weird at first but then I got
used to it and started to enjoy the warming process. I also love how my
skin feels afterward.
- Recommended? Yes.- Repurchase? Yes.

Wow you finished a lot of products!!! You just blew my mind how many empties you have for one month... hehe~
ReplyDelete@Ahleessa: hehe that's because I have a lot of half empty products lying around so most of these are only a half full or a quarter left when I started to finish them. That's why it seems like I emptied a lot of products, that's because I am determined to finish all those half empty jars and containers, LOL
ReplyDeleteI really appreciate all your comments, thanks for commenting here and sharing some love !
