My Current Skincare

Hello lovelies! I thought I would share my current skincare routine with you. It's quite simple because when it comes to skincare, I'm quite lazy, not gonna lie! If you're interested in the products I use (not all of them are pictured above for some reason, I don't know what it is with me!) keep on reading!

Empties│Skincare, makeup, hair care

Hi everyone!

Today, I'm bringing you an Empties post; a rundown of products I've used up lately. There is a bit of everything; makeup, skincare, body care & hair care. I will brieflytell you something about each product and whether I would repurchase and why. Let's start with the makeup bit, shall we?

Super Seven│February

Hello there! So far keeping up with the Kardashians my promise to blog more! This one's going to be my February Favourites. I think I'll try to keep it at seven products a month, we'll see. Anyway, let's get cracking!

New In│The Body Shop & Topshop

Hi guys! How have you been? I'm preparing a little life-update-type-of post, but I wanted to throw this wee haul on my blog.

Almost everything in here is from The Body Shop. I used to shop there a lot but lately, I've been neglecting it a little, so I decided to change that! The Amazonian Wild Lily and Atlas Mountain Rose fragrance mists are gorgeous. The first mentioned was actually for my Grandma because she needed a new fragrance for travelling, and the rose one was for me because I love everything rose-scented, and this is so much like Roses de Chloé (which I love so dearly!).
Next up, I got a little facial brush. It's quite soft, but it might be a tiny bit too harsh for my sensitive skin. Well, time will tell if careful using will go unpunished!
The Vitamin E Cool BB Cream sample was a total miss; it's OBVIOUSLY too ark for me because I am the palest person in the world. On the other hand, the Tea Tree Pore Minimiser one I was really delighted to get to try! Inside the little pot, there is a Moringa Body Butter sample, which smells delightful like a sour fizzy candy to me!
Last, but not least, I got a Brows eyebrow pencil from Topshop in the shade Vicious Circle (I think) - a light, ashy brown shade, and I really like it so far, I've already used it a couple times.

So, this is all I got for now! Hope you like it. Let me know if you've tried some of these products and how you liked them!

See you later!
Tess

Empties│January

Hi everyone!

Today I'm going to talk a little about some used up products that have gathered over the past couple weeks.

The first photo is 'Face products'. The Alverde facial wash cream is aimed at combination/oily skin and it was alright but a little bit drying. I quite liked it but won't repurchase, as I've already bought different facial washes to try out. I only really bought the L'Oreal Sublime Soft micellar water because I had like, 20 or 30% off on it and I was on a tight budget, and again, it was an okay product, but I found out it smelled really weird after applying it on my face, and as I don't like L'Oreal, I won't be repurchasing. Essence Pureskin nose strips, on the other hand, are quite a staple for me. Not really sure if this whole nose strips business is really working that much, but I certainly like them better than eg. the Nivea ones. The Sans Soucis Aqua Benefits 24h moisturizer was a favourite of mine. It feels nice, lightweight but still moisturizing and it didn't irritate my skin at all. I got it in a beautybox and the only reason I won't be repurchasing is the price, unfortunately. The Body Shop camomile gentle eye make up remover was a whole different case. It was burning in my eyes when I used it and made them all red. I had to stop using it and eventually I just had to throw it away.

Now onto the 'Other products'. I really liked Sephora's daily makeup brush cleanser, and I might be repurchasing but I'd prefer to find a cruelty free alternative. I got the Aussie 3 Minute Miracle sample from my Dad while I was in Germany at his place, and really liked what it did to my hair. I might buy the full-sized bottle in the future. Marks & Spencer is a great place to buy travel-sized stuff to put in your bag, and these Citrus zest hand wipes were..well, great. I got the miniature size of Soap & Glory's The Righteous Butter in a giftset I bought in German Douglas (as you can't get the brand in The Czech Rep) and I love the whole set, so no surprise I loved this thingie too. It smells just perfect and feels really moisturizing! Would repurchase right away.

So these were my empties, hope you liked this post. Have a great day, lovelies!
Tess
