January Empties

Body and Face Products |
New Year, new start! I'm glad to show you my first empties of 2013! If this year keeps up like this, I might be able to finish all my stuff and streamline my products (I keep on dreaming!)
Let's talk about the good, the bad and the ugly, shall we?
Monu Night Renewal Complex Normal Combination Skin: I talked about it last week on my Hitting Rock Bottom Post. The label combination skin promised me all kinds of things. I was disapointed, as I am thinking of something heavier from a kight cream. I wouldn't use this as a day cream (in the winter, that is). Maybe it is good in the summer, when the elements are more clement.
Clinique Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief: This is on the other end of the greasy spectrum. Woah this stuff is heavy! I would have offered it to my mum, but she's only just getting on the cream game, so decided to use this on my neck before sleep. A good choice. I wouldn't purchase this solely for that, as it is pricy.

Haircare |
TRESemmé Split Remedy Split Mend & Protect Leave in Treatment: Why why why the name is sooooooooooo long? Anyway, I usually think TRESemmé products are all-right but this is not. It is greasy and left my hair heavy.
Kérastase Résistance Ciment thermique: Kérastase, have you talked to TRESemmé, because your ciment thermique is about the same as their Split Remedy Split Mend & Protect Leave in Treatment. For a high end brand, I was expecting more...
Kérastase Cristaliste Lumière liquide: This was a good product, but I can think of other brands that do the same for less.
Makeup |
Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation in Cashew: Since every beauty blogger is raving about this I was curious to give it a try as well. Unfortunately, the colour didn't match my skin tone, so I had to mix it with my own foundation so much that I cannot really say if it's good or bad. When I go to the big city I might ask for a sample that matches my skin.
Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eyeliner in Moray: Duh. Cannot report anything on this except I wasn't able to use it more than twice before it died out. The only positive thing I can say is that the colour is pretty. Stila, I was expecting more from my money! :(
Perfumes and dental care. Randomness at its best :) |
Crest 3D White Vivid Toothpaste: Even good ol' toothpaste has complicated names now. Where is the world going? I do like this toothpaste though. It is effective at getting rid of the fairly new stains. I already talked about it in another empties post. I would repurchase.
And.... drum roll please! This month I had also finished 38 products/samples! I wouldn't have thought I would finish as much as last month, but I did! Yay!
Ladies, now, any product that you finish and liked (hated) in January? Please share below!
