Empties of fall/winter 14

HELLO EVERYONE

Sorry for being lazy
My monthly empties had slowly turning into seasonal empties lol

Empties for Oct

 

Moist Diane shampoo & Reveur Conditioner 

Silicon free hair products had suddenly a hit in HK (with a reasonable price! Thanks! finally I don't need to throw in a lot to get a silicon free!) 

These two brands were out with tones of ads (and free samples on their fb, but unfortunately I couldn't grab a hold of them :( shame)

I couldn't make up my mind on which one should i get so I get one from each lol

After washing my hair with the Moist Diane shampoo, my head feels much lighter, which I like very much. But the Reveur Conditioner does not wow me much, and for the ~$100 price tag.... I am not impress with the outcome.

So I will give Moist Diane shampoo a go & Reveur Conditioner a maybe next time.

HABA White Lady Brightening Serum 777 special version

I was looking for a brighten serum since I graduated from Olay White Radiance Pristine White Essence (It was a good one but Olay seems changed its formula and it broke me out like no tomorrow! Goodbye Olay! You won't be missed). So I turn my fire to HABA. 

I must confess this HABA serum is not cheap (at least not as cheap as the Olay one), but I found it works well on me. My skin looks brighter, the veins on my cheeks had gone down(?) and become much invisible, and my pores look smaller, which is always a bonus :)

Repurchase? Well, I have almost finished my third bottle :P

November 

 

 

Can anyone tell me why I am finishing a couple of sunscreens in the winter months? 

The Biore sunscreen is my HG when going to watersports because it never wash away in water! Although this also means it is a hell when trying to remove it on skin - an oil based makeup remover will be needed to do the task. For it water-resistance ability, Biore sunscreen will be still on my repurchase list for the summer.

Sunplay spf 25 sunscreen - this was a gift from my friend and I am so glad I didn't actual pay money for this cr*p. It make me felt like wrapping my skin with a clinfilm and it just felt gross.

Givenchy Matmate Fluid Foundation

This is a low coverage foundation and I shouldn't expect this would give a prefect coverage. It gave a matte finish but it does not help hiding pores. Who would need a foundation on a good skin day? Come on Givenchy! 

Adding to that, it could not survive the humid weather in HK and it had all melted away within 3-4 hours, set with powder!

GIVENCHY'S FOUNDATION DOES NOT KEEP UP TO ITS PRICE TAG!!!!

Lesson to self: For Givenchy, stick to its powders and stay away from foundations.

Borghese Green Clay Cleansing Mask*

I have been keen on trying Borghese's famous green clay mask but their large bottle had turn me off because I don't want to throw in large amount of cash for something that is known irrigate sensitive skins (note: My skins are quite problemtic)

Luckily I got my hands on this sample so I could try this out. 

I had mixed feeling when trying this out. The mask is supposed to leave on your face for 5-10 minutes but I felt it dried out my face badly. I could not stand for that so I had to wash it off after 3 minutes. But even I washed it away much earlier than expected, it still made my dirts poped out from my pores so I can clean them away easily. Does that mean this mask is working well? Yes indeed, but the green tea mask from Innisfree works exactly well, does not dry my skin so much and it only costs me $10 each time! 

Sorry Borghese, your cleansing mask is a no for me, just for my purse's sake.

December

Heyho! December, December, it's the time for the advert calendar and christmas sale! 

Curel sebum care facewash foams

I must confess sometime I am very lazy to wash my face, especially during the morning when I am rushing to work. I don't have any time to whip up my cleanser to wash my face. That's why I think facewash foams are godsends! A pump gives enough products to wash my entire face with no time!
This Curel facewash foams is designed for dry/combination skins. It cleans my skins without stripping away too much oil. that means it wont dry out my skin. Yay!
Will I repurchase? Maybe, just because I get bored with facewash very easily and I tend to change my facewash brands very often lol

HABA squalane

TBH I never tried face oil before. This baby just works like magic - it keeps moisture, it absorbs quickly, it leaves a lovely glow on my skin. Love it!
Already on my second bottle <3

Elisabeth Arden 8hour lips

Yes, that's from the family of the good old famous 8 hour cream. I found this from sxsx for A mighty $60 (and good old Boots is charging this for 20 quids! ❳

One down side it the 8 hour lip gave a funny taste on my lips.

So this one is a no because of the taste, and fortunately I am not paying the UK price for it lol

Monaco Argan oil*

I got this sample from here >10th Applebox 第十期APPLEBOX 

This hair oil came into the market and got a super duper wave, and i can truly understand why.  My hair felt soft after using it,  and its light texture absorbs very quickly,  which does not give an oily finish (which is always a con for hair oils)

 Talking about the full size product, a $200-sh price tag for an hair oil is a bit too much for me. So I will give this Monaco Argan Oil a miss just because of this. I am happy to use this again if i can find a cheaper source: )

Empties of August/September 14'

Hey ho! I am back from the hell of work and welcome back to the blogging!

It is the end of the month and it's the empties time again!

There aren't many empties these two months and you don't see many of the regulars.

Shlwasoo essential eye cream
I just love this baby.  It helps minimize the small lines around my eyes.  It is not very rich and i don't feel greasy when i have it on. 
The only down side of it Shlwasoo is posh.
Will i repurchase it?  Yes when i get extra dosh to splash out. 

Biore makeup removal facial wash
Errrr... how should i describe this wash?  It claimed to remove makeup while you wash your face,  but it dries my skin too much.
So i use it to remove my waterproof sunscreens (or get rid of my face makeups when i can't be bother to do this with a proper makeup remover lol)
It is one of the regulars in my house because it is dead cheap for removing sunscreen on body.
I will still buy it for removing my sunscreens. 

Vichy Aqualia Thermal Spa Sleeping Mask*
I love sleeping masks.  They are godsends for lazy barts like me.  You put them on,  let them dry up a bit and you can go to bed without washing it away.

I got this vichy mask from the 17th Applebox some time ago and i threw it into my mask box and forget about it.
One night i found this from my mask trash and decided to give it a go.

My skin felt moist after a night in it,  but this Vichy mask gave me two big spots on my cheek.
This is a no-goer for me,  i'm afraid.

Phyto c icy blue b5 gel

Mentioned in my -> empties of june 14 <- before, I tried a sample of this B5 gel before and I like it so I throw in a full size.

I will buy this again, but I can't resist sale and just bought 2 bottles of B5 gel from Bicelle. so I will wait until they are gone ;P

 

Senka Sunscreen SPF50 pa+++
(Sorry for recycling old photos, I forgot to take a snap before trashing the emptied bottle :( )

It is also something from my -> empties of june 14 <- . It just works as it claims. 

Will repurchase but maybe I won't need it before next summer ;)

Bifesta  micellar-Water  makeup remover

Huh? Bifesta but not my beloved bilayer eye makeup remover?
One day when I walked pass Citysuckerssuper, I saw Bifesta was doing a boxset with a bottle of bilayer remover & this micellar water. The  box set worked out much cheaper(!) than buying a lone bottle of bilayer remover so I gave that a go. 

To be frank, I don't like it. It does not even remove my foundation properly. It just doesn't work! It was left on my counter to collect dusk and I had completely forget about it. 
One day when I am back from work, mum came over with the empty bottle (!). She said she likes it, and ordered  asked me to get her a new one.

.............that's why I am still buying it despite I do not like it at all, and I am paying for it *facepalm*

Moist Diane Extra Moist damage repair hair mask*

I always want to try a silicon free hair product. My hair falls like no tomorrow and I heard waves about how silicon free hair products help preventing this happening.  
One day I saw Moist Diane's FB was doing a sample give-away on their products and of coz I rushed and applied one. 
Then this hair mask came through my postbox :)

I tried this on, my hair feels soft and light-weighted, and I got compliments from different people telling me my hair looks soft lovely.
What else should I say? This is definitely a YES for me!

Empties of March14

Empties are great,  every empty bottle means i have used up my stuff = i can buy something new lol

And here comes my byebye March lovelies. 

Bifesta bilayer eye makeup remover

Tbh i dont buy very expensive Facewash or mmakeup remover. these things dont stay on my face for very long.  And i just think spending hundreds for a bottle of makeup remover is like throwing money in the sea.

This is a cheap replacement for my beloved loreal bilayer mmakeup remover (which charges a ridiculous $100 for 100ml in HK) 

The oil layer removes anything that is water resistant while the aqueous layer gets rid of the rest. The only downside is it may hurts a bit when the liquid gets into my eyes.

Bifester is $49/145ml from Watson/Manning's. 

自白肌玻尿酸濃密保濕水凝露

White Formula HK Super Moist Gel with Hyaluronic Acid

i was planned to write a review  on this but i have completely forget about it before i finished it lol

This is another cheap replacement for my lost-loved Clinique Moist Surge Extra (which triggered my sensitivity reaction when Clinique changed its formula)

White Formula does the same effect as Clinique but it only costs a fraction of Clinique's pricetag. and it is also free from coloring, alcohol, and  fragrances

Am I changing? Hell yes! 

($88from Manning's)

Ciao &see you next time xoxo

Empties of June 14

Hi everyone!
Sorry for being MIA for a while,  life had been super busy so i have to put my blogging on the side for a while.

Here comes the monthly empties

From the top right hand side: 

Innisfree Capsule Recipe Pack Jeju Volcano

It's an alright cleansing mask.  It does help removing my blacheads but i just think there are something better around.  

I may grap this with me when i am going on a trip or something. 

Kinerase C6-peptide &lotion *

Got these samples from Apple box.  They are claimed to help keeping winkles in bay.

i am not sure how the winkles bit works but they broke me out badly.

SOrry but they are no repurchasers. 

Bifesta bi-layer makeup remover

This baby had been featured in my empties if the month for so many times and i still love it! 

Of course i will buy this again! 

Middle row:

Senka Sunscreen SPF50 pa+++

Oh this works well to keep my sun tan in bay. I worn this when i went to a boat trip under a hot summer day.  

The only downside is it is a little bit pricy for its side.

Will repurchase when i need to having a fun time under the sun. 

Perfect whip face wash (is this also from Senka? I have no idea)

It is crap to foam. I can only get it foam nicely with the help of a foaming net. But when using a foaming net,  you will only need a very tiny amount of product to give a big pile of foam.  A  little goes a long way ;) 

. But once it is foamed it cleans my skin nicely without drawing too much moisture from my face.

Already on my second tube. 

Bottom row:
Bourjois health balance unifying powder in color 53 light beige

Bourjois never fail me in their powders.  But i picked a wrong color which is too pale for me and i still got another box of this in the same color sitting in my stock. Ouch.

May repurchase but i need to pick the right color lol

Phytoceutical (also known as Phyto C) Icy Blue B5 gel

My skin got so dry this summer and one day i decided to pop in a beauty store for a Bicelle  b5 gel.  But when i was there,  the shopkeeper suggested i could go for this B5 gel instead.  I am no explorer on skincares so i decided to go for a sample first. 

It was very light weight and absorb quickly when applying on my skin. and it does its job for a good b5 as well. 

Already repurchased a full-sized product. 

Senka whitening toner (refills)

So is this a good month to finish all my senka stuff? lol

i heard waves of this for a while but i though $100+ for a drugstore brand toner was a bit over the top.  

one day when i walk passed 759 amd i saw this refill pack for $60. Bargain!

WIll repurchase when i see the refill pack again lol
