Empties #11 | All things good

Wow.
It has been a while since I've wrote an empties post. And to be honest, it's because of two reasons: One, I'm frugal and I use every single drop of everything before officially trowing it out, and Two, I'm a creature of habits, and when I like something I stick to it and you would be basically seeing the same empties every month. And these products here are not new here, but good things are meant to be remembered, right?

-- By clicking on one of the pictures you are supporting this blog. Thank you! --

- GLAMGLOW GravityMud Firming Treatment. This is a cool product. It's a mud-based, peel-off face mask designed to tighten the appearance of skin that changes color from white to a brilliant chrome! It's really good, works super well and it's extremely fun to do! Will I repurchase it? YES -- Already did actually!

- GARNIER Skin Active Micellar Water. It's my favorite micellar water. It does it job perfectly and it's not too expensive. A staple in my bathroom! Will I repurchase it? Yes, but first I'm curios to try the Nivea one. Have any you tired it? 

- SEPHORA Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover. Another staple. It removes any evidence of black waterproof mascara! It's amaizing, really. And cheap. Will I repurchase it? Yes, already did -- can't live my life without it!

- RIMMEL Match Perfection Skin Tone Adapting Concealer -- 040 Soft Beige. For a long time this was my favorite concealer. This shade was absolutely perfect for my skin. But I ended up forgetting about it. And now the tube is almost empty, so it's going in the trash. Will I repurchase it? I don't know. I have others that I like, and I don't really feel like I need another concealer...

Empties #10 | Summer Empties

I know summer is only halfway trough but I already have a bunch of emptied out products that for me are summer staples. A long long time ago I wrote a post about which are my beach essentials -- it was acutally one of my first posts here on the blog! And this choice of products is very much related to those essentials. These are products that I need to have every summer and although I don't get exactly the same stuff every year, but I always gravitate to the same type of products.

- NIVEA SUN Protect & Refresh Sunscreen 30 SPF. On *drugstore* sunscreen, for me, Nivea tops it all. I don't really like the other brands. They smell weird. And this one is my favorite. Is not sticky, it's very light and it's completely transparent on the skin. I never had any problems with it, it does what it's supposed and it's fairly cheap. Will I repurchase it? Probably, but now I already bought something else. 

- VASENOL Spray & Go Body Moisturizer Aloe Fresh. I really like this moisturizer for summer. It's a spray on -- which means it's super easy and fast to apply. You can just spray it on and give it a little rub and that's is. And it's aloe. Aloe is great for skin burns, and if you are out in the sun, I think that a moisturizer with aloe it's the best thing to avoid redness! It smells super nice! Just one thing: it doesn't last long... This spray bottle was good for maybe a week and a half of everyday use. But I really like it. Will I repurchase it? I would like to, but I can't seem to find it anywhere! Do you know if it has been discontinued? I've found the plain version and the chocolate version, but this one I just can't find anymore!

- LUSH Ocean Salt Face and Body Scrubs. It's not the first time I talk about this product, neither will be the last. This is a very natural product. The scrub agent is salt. And it has alcohol and limes, which makes it smell like a mojito -- super appropriate for summer, don't you think? I really like it, but it's not a cheap product. It's my all-year-round body scrub, but it is super expensive and I've restrained my self from buying it as often as I would like.Will I repurchase it? Yep Yep!

- MYLABLE Anti Celulite GEL. I wrote a full review about this product a while back. And, yes, this is a repeat! I honestly like it. Does it work wonders? I don't know. Did I felt that my skin was tighter and smoother? Yep! It's good and really nice, specially for how much it costs. Will I repurchase it? Maybe!

Empties #09 | Lushy Lush

I haven't done an empties post in a while. And I feel like I always say this. But I use my products all the way up to the last drop. I don't like to waste stuff, okey? And I'm also always sad about finishing my products, because I only buy products that I know I'm most likely going to like!

 

 - MYLABLE Anti Celulite Gel. I really enjoyed using this product. For real. It was cheap and I found it to be actually effective. However, the smell was kinda of weird. I wrote a full review about it! This was the first and only product that I've tried with an Anti Celulite purpose. And I was impressed. And since this brand is a cheap brand, I think I'd like to try another brand. Will I repurchase it? Maybe.

- NEUTROGENA T-Gel Shampoo. I love the smell of this shampoo. It smells like lavender. It's super good. And besides my Lush shampoo, this is the only other thing that touches my hair. It's just amazing, specially if you have a sensitive scalp or dandruff. It's awesome.Will I repurchase it? Yep Yep.

- COLGATE Total Original (mini). This is my favorite toothpaste. Besides Paradontax, which is great, but expensive AF. And I can buy this small tubes, that are perfect to carry around. This is now an essential in my life! Will I repurchase it? Oh yeah.

- LUSH Mint Julips Lip Scrub. My obsession with Lush products is something that is never going to go away. And this lip scrub is amazing. It taste like mint chocolates, it's so good! But what I really love about it is that this is literally just sugar you rub all over your lips, and that you can eat afterwards. I also have a review about it. I love it. Will I repurchase it? Yeeees.

- LUSH Ocean Salt Face and Body Scrub. This body scrub is my favorite thing in the world. It is so good. It smells like a mojito -- alcohol and limes. It's so good. But it's so so so expensive. And since I'm a compulsive scrubber,I avoid buying it, because I just use it all in one week. You need to try this to see how awesome it is. Will I repurchase it? OMG YES.

Empties #08 | Essentials

- BATISTE sassy & daring wild Dry Shampoo. You know I love my dry shampoo right? I can't live without it! I'm not sure if I like this one better or the blush one -- the one with the floral smell. But it's really awesome. If you haven't tried it --  You should! Will I repurchase it? YES

- PALMOLIVE Aroma Sensations Feel The Massage. GUYS! Guys.. GUYS! this is my favorite shower gel ever. I've been pretty obsessed with Palmolive products, but this on is AWESOME! It's a shower gel, smells like clean laundry and it has an exfoliating agent in it! You know how much I love exfoliation, and this is just perfect for me! This product is life. LOVE IT. Will I repurchase it? YES - a truck load if possible!

- NIVEA Cream Classic mini-tin. The classic Nivea Cream. Good and useful for any skin care emergency. I carried this in my bag for months. It is small, compact and it has just the perfect size for carrying around. Really nice even for having on a drawer at work. Will I repurchase it? Yep.

- LUSH New Solid Bar Shampoo. Note that you are seeing here my empty tin. Lush products are awesome, and these Shampoo Bars come without any packaging, but they sell these cute reusable tins for you to keep and travel with your shampoos or soaps. This was the first shampoo bar I've tried and I think I'll never use regular shampoo again. It lasted me about 4 months. It is very foamy -- makes a super cute pink foam! -. and it lathers super eaasly. Makes my hair feel light, clean and stronger! You can read my full review here. Will I repurchase it? Oh yeah. Already did but this time I bought the Jason and the Argon Oil ;)

Empties #07 ! OMG I'm gonna cry

- THE BODY SHOP Honeymania Cream Body Scrub. Let's take a minute of silence please. The other day I went to try to buy another and they told me that it's discontinued . I was so sad. I loved this product so much. I can't believe that it is gone. I only wish I'd used it in a more restrained way. It is so creamy and it smells so good. You can read my full review HERE. Will I repurchase it? I would if I could!!

- O.B. Original Tampons (Normal). These are my favorite tampons. I actually never use pads, only tampons. These are so comfortable and they don't let any flux pass. Will I repurchase it? Obviously.

- SEPHORA Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover. This is a two-fase make up remover and it's so so good. It is perfect to remove mascara and eyeliner. I have been using it for years and I can vouch for it. It lasts me ages. I think I've bought this one almost one year ago, and it's the travel size! It's really really god. Will I repurchase it? Yep!

- LABELLO Original Lip Balm. I'm one of those wired girls that can actually completely finish a lip balm. And this is the second one I've finished. To be honest it is not that great. It doesn't really moist my super chapped lips, nor protect them from getting even more chapped. I used it all up super quickly because since I couldn't feel any action going on I just kept applying and applying and applying...  Will I repurchase it? No.

Empties #6 | Random Randomness

- PALMOLIVE Nourishing Delight with Honey and Moisturizing Milk Body Wash. I just loved it. I've been completely addicted to this range of body-washes. I love the fact that they contain natural products, and they all smell divinely! On my last empties post, I've shown you the one with 100% natural olive and this time I tried the one with honey and they are both just so luxurious! I'm in love it these! Will I repurchase it? Hell yes! 

- SENSODYNE Gums Toothpaste with Fluorine.  You all know I have braces and it is very important to keep your gums healthy when you are having work done on your teeth. Well, it's important to keep your gum healthy, period! They are what holds your teeth up, so you should treat them well! This toothpaste is my favorite one and if you don't want to get some fancy one from the pharmacy, this is the best option. It was actually recommended by my dentist and, yeah, it is great to prevent bleeding and sensitivity to cold and hot. It tastes just like regular minty toothpaste, and it gives you a super fresh, clean feeling after brushing. Will I repurchase it? Definitely!.

- ORIFLAME Sweedish Spa Exfoliating Massage Bar. I made a full review on this product, in case you want to read more about it. I'm just sowing you here the package it came in because, you know, the actual soap-bar is gone! I loved it. It really cleaned my skin very well, giving me an "oil-free" feeling after using it. You feel like you don't have any grease or dirt on you. But it is a bit drying, you should use some moisturizing after. The little massaging domes, they melt away after one of using it every day. But the soap it self lasted me around 4 weeks. Just one advice, don't use it one your face. It will make you break-out like crazy! Trust me. Been there, done that, regretted like hell. Will I repurchase it? Maybe.

- LABELLO SOS Lip Repair. Okey. This little baby thingy as been a life saver. I've talked here on the blog on how much my lips get dried-up during the night because of having braces. Some of you suggested me to put a thick coat of Vaseline on my lips right before going to bed. But I HATE the taste of it. So I did a bit of research and found this product. It has Dexpanthenol, which is a healing compound, used to help heal wound and burns. So this really works! And the best part, it has a very sweet minty taste and smell that is just awesome. It's clear and it gives a very nice shine to my lips, like a lip gloss would. But it is very sticky so I don't use it during the day. I apply it wright before going to bed, a thick coat and just sleep in it. It makes wonders. Will I repurchase it? Already did. Can't live without it anymore.

Empties #5 | Sad to see you gone

I haven't done an empties post in a while. But the truth is that it takes me me kinda of a long time to get enought stuff to show you. I'm a but frugal. I don't waste products, ok? Okey...

- NEUTROGENA Visibly Clear Désincrustant Points Noirs Face-Wash. I love it love it love it. This has been my face-wash for years and years. It is so good. I even gave one away in my back to school giveaway, back in September. This little tube lasted me 7 or 8 months. And it is not expensive at all. Just one thing --  Neutrogena doesn't sell face stuff in Portugal. I usually buy it when I go to Paris or Madrid for work, but lately I I have taken low-cost flights, and you know I can't take this stuff in my cabin luggage because it's over 100ml. Will I repurchase it? Yes but not right away - I want try something new.

- PARADONTAX Toothpaste. I got this sample through Youzz and I'ved used it every single day since I've got it. I really liked it. I've made a review about it -- you can read it HERE. The only think I have to point out, is the price. I feel like it is a bit pricey. But I think it lasts a long long time. So I'm still on the fence. Particularity because I don't know if I am benefiting from it or not. Will I repurchase it? I don't know yet.

- PALMOLIVE Ultra Moisturization with Olive and Moisturizing Milk Body Wash. If you have dry skin, this is awesome for you. It really made my skin very soft and smooth. It is vey moisturizing. And It smells super good. Will I repurchase it? YES

Empties #4 | love love love

- BATISTE Blush Dry Shampoo. For me this is the best dry shampoo ever. I love it and I use it all the time. Apparently they don't sell this brand in Portugal... and the brands that are sold are super expensive! So I had do order it online. Will I repurchase it? YES (already did! - from Maquillalia.com)

- LISTERINE Total Care Mouth Wash. This is something that I need do use every single day. Twice. Or more. I feel like my teeth aren't completely clean if i don't use Listerine. And this one has alcohol. Yes it needs to have alcohol and it has to make me cry. Otherwise I don't believe that it's doing anything. Will I repurchase it? YES

- PANTENE PROV Hair Spray.  I loove this hair spray. I use it when I curl my hair or when i want to control some fly-outs or baby-hairs . This can is super old. It lasts me FOR-EVER. Really. And what i really love about it is that at the end of the day you can just brush your hair and all the product goes away.  Will I repurchase it? YES

Empties #3 | Shower Goodies

Hello y'all! So we are back with an empties post! I love shower/bath products and i am always trying new ones. And I use body washing stuff like craaaazy! --- Btw the picture is not perfect. I know. And it bothers me. 
A lot. 

- NIVEA Cream Smooth Shower Cream. I go trough body washes pretty fast. Specially if they smell good. And this one smells like so good. It really smells like soap and clean. I liked it very much! And also, it's Nivea.. Nivea is always good for your skin! Will I repurchase it? YES (already did!)

- VASENOL Milk and Lilies Body Wash.  This one also smells so so good! It has a more floral sent. It has a very milk like consistence. But it feels great. And it leaves a super nice smell on your skin -- not to strong and it definitely wears out after a while -- but super fresh e and girly!  Will I repurchase it? YES

- PANTENE PROV Straight and Smooth Shampoo.  I think I have been striking out it all the "new" shampoos I have been trying. I din't like this one at all. It smelled a bit medicinal and weird. It didn't do anything special to my hair --  it didn't get more straight or smother. So yeah. Will I repurchase it? NOP

Let me know in the comments, if you like -- or not -- these products! And leave me any suggestions of products you think I might like! I really enjoy trying new stuff -- specially bath stuff! 

Empties #2 | Girly Stuff

This Empties is all very about very girly products -- And I love this stuff!

- Veet Wax Strips. Recently I have started to wax my self. I used to go to a salon and have some one do it to me. But since now I am busy as hell it is hard for me to make an appointment during the day -- so have been trying to do some "maintenance" on my own. It is cheaper than going to the salon. And I am very resistant to pain so i can do it to myself. I have never ever ever shaved any part of my body so all my hairs are now very weak and they come out very easily too. I always use Veet products -- for me they are the best. The blue one in the back is for sensitive skin and the pink is like "regular" wax strips with Karité butter or something -- but to be completely honest they are pretty much the same -- I bought both to see if I could notice any difference and No. They cost the same and work the same way, with same results. I can't say that they minimize the hairs as they announce in the package but i GUARANTEE that if you wax every single time, if you never use blades of any kind, or shaving creams your hairs WILL BECAME WEAKER and Weaker after one year or two. It is not an instant method but for me it really worked. I used to need to wax like every two weeks, now i can go maybe one month and a half without needing anything. The small one, is the same thing but smaller strips, for arm pits and bikini area. I really like to use them, it is easy simple and mess free! Will I repurchase it? YES

- Lactacyd Intimate Daily Wash. I know most girls don't really use this kind of product but I think it is important to have a special product to clean you special lady parts. I don't have any problem or anything, I just like to do it. It makes me feel cleaner and safer. I really like this brand and they have a tone of different products, and they also have a special wash for teenagers if you are interested!. This one is a pharmacy product but I think you can find this type of stuff at your local supermarket, near tampons and pads. For me, this hole thing lasted more then a year! So it is totally worth it! It has a very soft smell, it is very smooth and I really like that i comes with a pump. Will I repurchase it? YES

Empties #1 | Summer

Welcome to my first **official**empties post!  Last time I tried to do it I had some issues -- you can read all about it HERE;

- Sanex Sensitive Deodorant.I usually don't like spray stuff, I feel like I waste too much product. I liked it, it smelled good and clean. But nothing specially. Will I repurchase it? NO

- Sephora Smoothing Body Scrub in Blue Lilac. I loved this so much! Specially because of its crazy awesome purple color! I love all Sephora's body/shower products but his one looked so cool. It has a very fresh floral smell but it is not overpowering. Will I repurchase it? YES

- Nivea Sun Protect & Fresh spf 30. I have been wearing lots of shorts so I spray this on my legs every morning. It goes on clear and is supper refreshing and soft. I love the smell -- reminds me of the beach! Will I repurchase it? YES

- Garnier Ultra Doux Honey Tresures shampoo. I bought this mainly because of the smell. But i dint end up linking it that much. I have to use a lot of product to wash all my hair so that bottle was finished super fast. And the smell didn't stay in my hair for a long time.  Will I repurchase it? NO

- SensiBiafine Water Micellar. This product is awesome! I love it but it is a bit expensive because it is like a pharmacy or para-pharmacy product. Biafine is actually a brand of lotion for when you have burns or rashes, and recently they lunched a line of skin care products for different ages and skin types, that has the same skin regenerating properties. Will I repurchase it? YES

- HUGGIES Baby Wipes (Travel Size). I go trough this baby wipes like a mad person. Really -- They are a need on my day-to-day. Specially in the summer! They are fairly inexpensive and I always have a pack like this in my bag - you never know when you'll need one! Will I repurchase it? YES
