December Empties


☑ Secret Scent Expressions Ooh-La-La Lavender Antiperspirant/Deodorant* It's been a long time since I lasted used gel antiperspirant/deodorant because they usually take forever to dry or, for some reason, I feel they work less than their stick/solid counterpart, but I must say I was impressed with this one. Not one time did it let me down and it dried in seconds! Seriously, who has time to walk around the house with arms in the air, waiting for their armpits to dry?

Repurchase? no, P&G tests on animals 
What I'm currently using to replace it: Mitchum PowerGel Flower Fresh antiperspirant/deodorant

☑ Burt's Bees Radiance Night Cream with royal jelly I guess that from the state of the jar, you can tell how long I've had this cream, and I must say I'm super happy to be finally done with it! I can't remember if the texture has changed since the first time I started using it but now it's just so thick and sticky, it's a nightmare to spread on your face - I felt like I was applying thick layers of collagen all over my face! This isn't moisturizing enough for my dry skin, and I always prefer my night cream to be extra moisturizing.
Repurchase? no 
What I'm currently using to replace it: KORRES Quercetin & Oak Antiageing & Antiwrinkle Night Cream


☑ Fruits & Passion Orange Cantaloup Rich Hand Cream It seems I'm always complaining about Fruits & Passion but what can I say, this hand cream is far from being rich, in fact it's super light and it's not moisturizing at all for my super dry hands. I can't remember how much it cost because I can't find this size on their website but I think I got this in a gift set, but still, their products are always overpriced anyway.
Repurchase: no 
What I'm currently using to replace it: Burt's Bees Almond Milk Beeswax Hand Cream (sample)

☑ Elemis FreshSkin Magical Moisture Quenching Face Mask See my review here.
Repurchase: no because as far as I know, you can't purchase this mask separately (it comes in a duo with the Deep Clean Purifying Face Mask , which did nothing for my dry skin) 
What I'm currently using to replace it: other face masks

 Sheer Cover Mineral Foundation FPS 15 - Bisque* I received this a long time ago when I used to be active on Meg's Makeup and I chose to redeem my hard-earned 250 points for the "Most Fab Gift". I never really used it until recently because I don't usually wear foundation on a daily basis but I decided I wanted to get rid of it without throwing it away. I can't tell if it's a good foundation or not because honestly, I don't think I have the worst skin and I don't really have blemish, pimple or scars to hide.
Repurchase: no because their answer to "Does Sheer Cover test on animals?" is "No. Sheer Cover finished products are not tested on animals." I guess you know what that means.
What I'm currently using to replace it: I'm switching foundation everyday 


☑ Spa0² Pebble & Shells Refreshing Bath & Shower Gel I'm not sure if this is supposed to be a shower gel or a bubble bath but because I have tons of soaps and shower gels to use, I decided to use this one as a bubble bath, and to get some slight bubbles, I had to pour the entire bottle in the bath! Talk about a crappy product! 
Repurchase: no 
What I'm currently using to replace it: random - and hopefully more interesting - bath treats
