2017 August Empties

Another month, another set of empties.

 Sunscreen:  Yet another trusty bottle of my sunscreen gone.

 Vitamin C serum: I think I won't buy this again because there are cheaper ones out there with more vit C concentration.

 Body scrub: OK. I'll buy again but I can take it or leave it.

 Toners:  Using up my samples.  I'll repurchase the Honey Cera toner and everything in the Moistfull lines because they smell so good!

 Hair creme:  I won't repurchase this because I feel like it doesn't do anything special for me.

 Hand cream:  I'll repurchase this.

 Creams:  I LOVE the Hada Labo gel-cream (the one on the right) it's so rich and dense and makes my skin dewy which is something I need in this weather.  Kiehl's one (in the middle) I can't stand because it smells so godawful.  Normally if I don't like a product I'd grudgingly use it up but I can't stand even this one, and to think of how expensive it is.  I'm glad I didn't have to pay a single penny for it.

 Sheet masks: These are OK but they're not that impressive, plus the sheets were quite difficult to unfold.

Makeup: This MAC concealer was a bit underwhelming, and I won't purchase it again but mainly because I'm trying to phase out non-cruelty free products.

EMPTIES: June 2017

I did exceptionally well with finishing off full-sized products this month and I'm very proud of myself for that! It feels so satisfying to get my money's worth of the products.  I'm looking forward to continuing this trend over the coming months.

Body Scrub:  I guess it's cool but now that I can't buy it here in Sweden, I'll buy something else instead.

Hair Dye:  I love this but I'm not sure where I can buy this in Sweden.  I have two more tubs which I'll use up and will figure out what to do with my hair after that.

Wash-Off Mask:  I'll not repurchase this as the fragrant is too strong. Shame though as I love its performance.

Makeup: It's so sad that my MAC Pro Longwear dried out before I can use it all up but I'm too lazy to salvage it.  Same goes for my Lipnicure.

First Cleanser:  I would purchase the full bottle of this.

Essences:  Out of all of these I only *might* repurchase the Hada Labo Alpha Milk (the red bottle on the left), everything else is just meh.

First Serums:  I'll repurchase The Therapy bottle as I love the scent, really not sure about the Muji one.

Body Lotion:  Out of all of these I will only repurchase the Crabtree & Evelyn one (the one on the far right).

Hand Creams:  The Urtekram one on the left belonged to my boyfriend.  I'm just using it because he doesn't use it; he said that it doesn't do anything for him.  I got to agree, but I'm the type to use things up grudgingly and he's the type to just stop using it.  I'll definitely not repurchase that.  I will however repurchase the Innisfree hand creams when I get the chance, and I'm glad I have more tubes stocked up in different scents.

Sunscreens:  I was so happy to have found a bigger tube of sunscreen but it feels like I still use it at the same rate as the smaller bottles anyway - at one bottle a month. Maybe I am using too much. Anyway, the Aqua Rich which served me so well in hot and humid Singapore (due to its high alcohol content) is really shrivelling my skin up here. Brr! Maybe there's something good to be said about those greasy western sunscreens after all.

Sheet Masks:  I'm actually surprised at how few sheet masks I went through this month.  I haven't been doing it because I was lazy and my skin didn't feel that bad until about a couple of weeks or a week ago when my skin started feeling dry despite my regular routine, and wearing a sleeping mask every night.  Bah to Swedish "summer"!  The cold and windy weather is drying my skin out I think so I'm starting to use this more often again, and I don't think I will repurchase the Aloe masks, because I don't feel like they're that moisturising or hydrating.

HAULS: May 2017

I moved to Sweden in the middle of this month and this is the first post on this blog I made in Sweden! YAY!  Bought all of these just before I moved to Sweden of course because I don't think any of these are easily found here.

Yeah I guess that's it guys. I don't think you will see more haul posts from me for a while. I think I've collected enough and now it's time for me to use up what I've been hauling for the past half a year.
