EMPTIES AND REVIEWS (02)

H A P P Y  T H U R S D A Y  friends! I decided to post another 'Empties and Reviews' blogpost since I accumulated quite a few products that I've used up over the last - I wanna say - two months! I just quickly wanna go through each product and give you a little review on it! I honestly think that you can give the best reviews if you've used up a product so you can really tell if it was good, bad and if you're gonna repurchase it or not - so let's get started!

I N N I S F R E E  IT'S REAL SQUEEZY MASK in lime / aloe (CHF 2.70)

You guys already know by now that I'm a really big fan of sheet masks especially of the ones by the brand Innisfree. They are really moisturizing and are really comfortable on the face. I also like the fact that they are really easy to unfold without ripping them apart since a few other sheet masks from other brands are just way too thin and sometimes I rip them apart accidentally if I'm not that careful with them! I also really like that those are more natural sheet masks since they have lime, aloe, kiwi, strawberry and other fresh scented ones.

B E Y O N D  INTENSIVE AMPOULE Propolis (CHF 3.70)

This one is also a really nice sheet mask by the brand Beyond and I think that I've heard somewhere that those kind of sheet masks in the ampoule / serum style are more intense and more packed with benefits for your skin. I really enjoyed using it. They are also a little more expensive than the Innisfree ones and I don't really feel or see a difference between the two after using them on my face - that's why I still prefer the Innisfree one. 

T O N Y  M O L Y  PANDA DREAM EYE PATCH (CHF 2.70)

These are some Tony Moly eye patches that I've picked up with my last Niasha order and I really like the cooling effect that they give me but I seriously don't know how to apply them correctly - I gotta check out some youtube video to help me finally figure that out. They are black and have a slit in them but it seems like you gotta have your eyes closed when you put them on which is a bit a struggle for me to apply something with closed eyes - but the cooling sensation is definitely there and the packaging is real cute!

S E P H O R A  EYE MASK  in pomegranate / pearl (CHF 4.90)

I actually really like these eye patches since they really stick to your under eye area and don't fall off when you're moving around - with some gel under eye patches I do have this problem when they are too thick and heavy but not sticky enough. I also like that they have a few different options to choose from. My only complain would be the price point which is pretty hight considering that they are only patches that go under your eyes and not a full on sheet mask. Nevertheless every time I go to Sephora I pick up a few backup ones.

H O L I K A  H O L I K A  HEALING NAILS FINGER GLOVES

Sadly I can't find the product anymore online so I can't actually tell you how much it was but it was a really cool product that left my nails and cuticles very moisturized! I also had a hand mask which was also really cool so I'm really interested in trying out more of these kinda products since I do wash my hands quite a lot so they are often dry and these types of products give my hands a boost of moisture!

B A L E A  EYE MAKEUP REMOVER for waterproof makeup (€ 1.45)

This is actually not that great nor effective! I wouldn't recommend that and after using it up I immediately switched back to my Nivea eye makeup remover for waterproof makeup. The Balea one just didn't really take off my mascara and also with the packaging: I don't know why but I could never get a good amount of product onto a cotton swab. Although it was really cheap I'd say that I prefer investing a little more into a good eye makeup remover!

T O O  F A C E D  BETTER THAN SEX MASCARA in the waterproof version (CHF 29.90)

BEST MASCARA EVER! I've already bought a new one and I'm just obsessed. It makes my lashes look amazing and I think the older the mascara gets the fuller and thicker (not spidery) it will make the lashes. It's pretty pricy but I think it's totally worth the splurge! The packaging is also really cool and I just enjoy everything about my mascara. I gotta say though that I already have pretty long (but straight forward looking lashes) so I can't really tell if it does anything for the length of your lashes but it makes them really black, voluminous and gives them some wa wa woom!

B A L E A  CREAMY SHOWER GEL in Vanilla/Coconut (€ 0.55)

First of all I was so shocked when I went to Germany in April for the first time about how inexpensive some products are over there! I really enjoyed the shower gel - the scent was really nice for the summertime and I'd buy it again. You can't say anything bad about this shower gel considering how cheap it is! They also have so many scents to choose from which is just insane!

N I V E A  SILK MOUSSE SHOWER GEL in creme smooth (CHF 3.95)

Nivea brought out a couple of shower gels that do remind me a lot of the foamy ones by Rituals - just more normal scent options. I'm definitely gonna pick up a few more of those specially in the kinda new scents that they've released a few months back - I wanna say. It's a really nice feeling on the skin and they won't dry out your skin.

G A R N I E R  WHOLE BLENDS Shampoo with Green Tea (€ 3.15)

I really enjoyed the scent of this product and it did the job really well. I won't be repurchasing it though since I've just bleached my hair and I need a shampoo that helps to keep a cool toned blonde (which I've already talked about many times on here - definitely keep posted on my next 'Empties and Reviews' blogpost where I'm definitely gonna talk about these products). I also think that I've picked this up in Germany but you can get these actually everywhere here in Switzerland!

That was actually quite a lot to talk about but I really wanted to wait until I gathered together a couple of different products that you guys might be interested in! It's probably gonna take about 1.5 month until I accumulated a few products together again but I'm already excited to write my next blogpost about this topic since you can just discuss about everything! I hope that my little reviews were helpful to you guys and definitely let me know if you've already tried these products and what you think about them! Thanks for reading todays post and I wish you all a great rest of the day!
