☑ OLAY Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Cream
Isn't this supposed to be OLAY miracle face cream? I do really like the texture, but with so little product, I can't really tell you more about it. I didn't feel especially moisturizing, but as I said, I didn't have enough product to test it long enough.
Repurchase? no
☑ Lancôme Rénergie Microlift Eye R.A.R.E Superior Lifting Eye Cream (sample size 4g)
It's a little hard for me to describe an eye cream as I'm only in my 20s, as I don't think I have any wrinkles or lines yet. Anyway, I liked that the texture was thick and creamy, but it might be too heavy for some.
☑ Cranberry & Pear Body Soufflé
Repurchase? yes, if I can find it again next Christmas xDI got this at Wal-Mart around Christmas time when they have all sort of packages full of cheap products on sale. Well I was happily surprised by this product! I always prefer a thicker lotion for my body, and I wasn't expecting a lot from this one as it was so cheap and it doesn't even have a brand on the label LOL. But it was so thick, rich and creamy... and the scent was yummy!
☑ SPAresource Moisturize Foot Cream (sample size 4mL)
So far, I think I've only tried body butters and lotions from SPAresource, but I really love them. This brand offers amazing products at such a cheap price! I wasn't expecting too much from this foot cream, but it was incredibly creamy and moisturizing! And it has a fresh minty scent. Too bad the sample didn't even last a week )=
☑ SPAresource Vanilla Grapefruit Body Lotion (sample size 4mL)
☑ SPAresource Vanilla Grapefruit Body Lotion (sample size 4mL)
☑ SPAresource Vanilla Grapefruit Body Lotion (sample size 4mL)
All of those creams smell yummy, and they were all really thick, altough I didn't really notice a difference between the lotions and the cream. I'm never disappointed by SPAresource products! These samples barely lasted two days though )=
Repurchase? yes!
What I'm currently using to replace it: Bella Spa by Ivy Castle Luxury Body Butter Coca Butter
☑ Bioré 30 Daily Cleansing Cloths
My mother gave me this pack of wipes as they were all dried out, and she didn't use them anymore. I figured out it would be a waste to throw them away, so I used them with water in the morning.
☑ Pantene Color Preserve Volume Hair Solutions Conditioner (50 mL)
Besides that it smells yummy (reminds me of apple), this conditioner didn't do anything special for my hair. I absolutely did not noticed volume or color protection.
☑ Sally Hansen Ultimate Shield Fortifying Base & Top Coat
At first, I was absolutely in love with this product. It would make my cheap drugstore nail polishes last for a week without a single chip! But now that it's almost used up, it's all goopy and thick. It's totally useless now )=
☑ Cellnique Advanced Bio Renewal Serum
This is not completely used up but it has started smelling like rotten eggs... ugh x=
Well done on using up so many products!
ReplyDeleteI love Sally Hansen nail treatments so much, they really do make a difference to my nails. x
@LilyLipstick : I personally don't use nail treatment but I do love their nail polishes! So great quality for a super cheap price. But I'm a little bit disappointed by the shelf life of this base & top coat -_-
ReplyDeleteYou can always use a nail polish thinner to help with the goopy/ thick texture, then it's as good as new. Almost all top coats are like that, even the famous Seche Vite :)
ReplyDelete@Halifax: Never heard about a nail polish thinner before?!? 0_o
ReplyDeleteWow, you really mean "empties"! Great job! I hate when you run out of or hit pan on something that was too expensive to justify buying again.
ReplyDelete@Steph: Yes I do LOL. I really want to use most of my stuff before buying new products.
ReplyDeleteSally's Beauty Supply sells the thinner quite cheap but I don't think you have Sally's where you live. The more expensive version would be Seche Restore, sometimes shows up at Winners. Maybe you can check any nail/ beauty supply stores or ask nail salons
ReplyDeletei hate body lotions too. I love and use body butters instead. they're dreamy :D
ReplyDeleteand i've never used a product so much I completely finish everything in the recipient. I usuall get bored of stuff so quickly or find they suck and stop using them. I have to throw them once they start smelling or they expire. :))
@Halifax: Thank you!! =D
ReplyDelete@birminghamlady: I totally agree! And I don't know, I feel like they are way more moisturizing than body lotions. Aww I hate having to throw away stuff, that's why I use every last bit, and if I don't like it, I give it to a friend (=
The Cranberry & Pear smell sounds amazing!We have Cranberry and spices here by the Body Shop.But the Christmas smelling souffle should be amazing.Sigh(for not having it in Greece)!
ReplyDeleteI love finishing products, hows the Burts Bees eye cream working out? Im in the market for a new eyecream. Neals Yard is a British brand with all organic certified products, i LOVE it =D.
ReplyDelete@Ria: Yes it is! But I really have no idea where you can get it, it's not even available outside of Christmas time at my local Wal-Mart. I'm hoping to get my hands on it this Christmas =P
ReplyDeletethis post was so informative! i'm actually looking for an under eye cream since my eyes are as dry as sand paper. thanks for shareing!
ReplyDeleteAwww. Time for some more!
ReplyDelete@Donna ♥ Baby : The one from Lancôme is pretty thick, which I peronaly liked, but if your eyes are dry, it should do the trick!
ReplyDelete@The Girlie Blog: Not yet, I have to use some more stuff before buying other things =P
i agree with all the small samples! most of the time they are just WAY too little to really be able to "test" them out :(
ReplyDeleteYou used up a lot of products! The last two months I've been bad. I only finished one... lol~ :X
ReplyDeleteI like the whole idea behind this post! I would like to hear what you have to say about cellnique, I have heard that brand a couple of times. great post!
ReplyDeleteYay~ You sure finished quite a number of things hahaha I didn't know body butter is better than body lotion. Must try that! My body lotion is running out
ReplyDeleteI use to buy body lotions but now I prefer body butters! x
ReplyDelete@jenny: Yes that's sad but I guess it's better than nothing! At least if you don't like it you don't throw a lot of product away.
ReplyDelete@Ahleess: Well it's been pretty easy as I have mostly used up samples =P
@ShaGlam: Well I have reviewed some Cellnique products in the past, I will send you the link once I get home (I'm on my phone)
@Isabel: Well it's my personal taste, but there's lots of good body lotions out there.
@ohmrn: Like you, when I started using body moisturizers, I first used lotions but when I discovered butters, I never came back!

ReplyDeleteHey nice post. This is how everyone should do it. Finish a product first before buying another one lol.
ReplyDelete@EveryDay Makeup (becky) : Thank you! It motivates me to post used up products on my blog (=
