Empties - mini reviews


I love skincare, and I buy a lot of it, but I always read reviews before buying anything, and I never really seem to buy a product that doesn't work for me or breaks me out, which is why I have a lot of empties. I like all the products in the picture above, some I have already repurchased and others I've found better alternatives.

Clarins Hydra Quench serum - I love this serum so much! It's light but moisturizing and I saw a big difference in my skin after using it only for a couple days. My skin looked healthier and my makeup went on a lot better. I have repurchased this one!

Antipodes Divine Face Oil - I've tried many rosehip oils but I think this is the best one I've tried and it's a lot more affordable than many other brands. This oil helps my acne scars fade super quickly and it's hydrating. I have repurchased!

Ebryolisse Lait Creme Consentre - A very hydrating cream and a nice base for makeup. The only problem I had with this cream was that it never really seemed to sink in completely. I think it'll be great for dry skin but I will not be repurchasing this one.

Mario Badescu Glycolic Acid Toner - I use this toner every morning and I love it. It very gently exfoliates the skin so it's smooth and ready to absorb the rest of your skincare. I've been using this product for years and I'm already using a fresh bottle of this!

Taaj Himalaya Micellar Water - This is the best micellar water I've used. For me this works better than Bioderma and it's a bit cheaper too. I've made a video comparing the two here. I have repurchased the Taaj micellar water!

Nuxe Creme Fraiche Beauty Cream - I've repurchased this cream many times and I love the scent of it, but it is a bit strong and some people might not like it. I am using another tub of this cream, but I think I might look for something different because I've noticed I'm getting some milia on my forehead and I tend to get those when I use too much of heavy creams on my skin, but if you have dry skin this is a good one!

Secret Key Starting Treatment Essence - My first ever Korean essence and I fell in love! this is a great essence to start of with if you've never tried essences before. It's good for all skin types, it's hydrating and anti- aging and very affordable! I only use this product for DIY essence masks now since I've found another essence I love more to use in my daily skincare routine. But I will still repurchase this one!

Nuxe Reve de Miel Lip Balm - I use this every night as an overnight lip treatment mask. It's very thick and moisturizing which is why I love to use it at night. I have repurchased!

Kiehl's Skin Rescuer - A light but hydrating cream, it claims to help with stressed and troubled skin but for me it didn't do anything else than moisturize my skin. I think it's good for normal to combo skin but it really is just a moisturizer and I will not be repurchasing this one.

Clarins Booster Detox - I add in these drops to my facial oil at night for an extra boost of detoxing my skin, and getting spots cleared up faster. The product is really small but I only use 2 drops every night and it lasted me a good 6 months or so. I have already repurchased!

Hope it was helpful!
