So finally my second empties is here! Yay! I never thought I’d reach here so soon :P This time I have stuff that’s completely finished and stuff that’s nearly about to, just like 2-3mls of the product left. A lot of the products haven’t been reviewed here so I’ve kept a couple of mini reviews in here as well. For more mini-reviews check out my Empties #1 post and Skin care post.
(These are the nearly empties)
 |
| (l-r) VS Mist, Pucelle Mist, Neutrogena Cleanser |
I didn’t like this
fragrance at the start but it kind of grew on me. VS mists last you all day in
the sense that they do not mix up with your body odour and smell different. At
the end of the day whenever I smell the body parts where I had applied this,
they still had the same smell, though intensity was not as much as when I freshly apply the mist. This has made be look more into VS mists and buy the
ones I mentioned HERE, and I have no regrets shelling out Rs.700+ for a bottle.
Victoria’s Secret mists are available at Flipkart and Nykaa, you can also get
them at those beauty shops which sell imported stuff. I have
another VS mist called ‘Ocean Bloom’ and I just LOVE that fragrance, I’ll be
repurchasing more once that one gets over, or I might try some perfumes!
Pucelle Tropical Mist Cologne:
Before I discovered VS mists,
this was my go to and I’ve repurchased dozens of bottles. I’m not a perfume
kinda gal, I find one that I love and stick to it. But for everyday wear I
prefer mists over perfumes. This one has a lovely fresh fragrance and I used to
use it daily before I started using VS. During summers I rediscovered it and I’ve
been wearing it just to finish it. I won’t repurchase coz I like VS mists
better simply because this one doesn’t last for long and requires me to keep
reapplying it. I don't remember the price I got it for. Available at Nykaa.
Neutrogena Pure Mild Facial Cleanser(Review HERE):
I have a reviewed this
last year and my views have not changed since then. This has just a few washes
left! Rs.270
Since summer just got over, there’s lot of summer essentials
that got over like the mists up there and the sunscreen down below
 |
| (l-r) Vichy Sunscreen, Neutrogena sunscreen |
Vichy Capital Soleil SPF50:
I had this 15ml sample of
sunscreen that I never used and this year I discovered that its expired, so I
just had to get rid of it!
Neutrogena Dry Touch Sunblock:
Summer just got over and I
would have been surprised if I had not finished a sunscreen! This one is one of
my most repurchased sunscreens. It works well with my combination-oily skin compared
to other sunscreens that I’ve tried. I do need to reapply it every few hours but that’s
the case with most sunscreens. I’ve already repurchased it. More on this HERE. Rs.175 for 30ml. You can purchase it from Nykaa at 15% off.
Makeup:

| (l-r) Maybelline hypercurl mascara, Maybelline hypersharp eye liner |
Maybelline HyperCurl Mascara(Review HERE):
I recently realized that its
been six months since I’m using this which means its time to kick it to the
curb. I’m currently mascara-less at the moment because I’m not sure if I should
repurchase this or try a new one. That’s a classic problem right…Should you go
for the ‘old but good’ or take a risk and try something new? Rs.275 can be brought from Flipkart.
Maybelline Hypersharp Eyeliner:
I actually didn’t finish this,
I reached for this one once and discovered that its dried up because the cap
got separated from the body. Who did that?…I didn’t! Well anyways, I was
heartbroken and I haven’t repurchased it because I want to try a new one,
preferably a one who’s cap clicks shut so that I know that its closed properly. Rs.375
Sally Hansen Kwik Off Moisturizing Nail Color Remover:
Sally Hansen Kwik Off Moisturizing Nail Color Remover:
Can I
just say disappointing product of the year? This worked really well and though
required more effort than I would normally like to give, it removed my polish
and left a nice fragrance on my fingers. It wasn’t that much moisturizing but
it wasn’t dry either. So what’s the problem you ask....well see the left side of
the pic. The remover is left and yet it doesn’t remove my polish. My
guess is that this happened because a lot of nail polish residue is also mixed
with the polish remover. I’m not impressed with this sponge style of remover,
its convenient at times but look at the wastage! Rs.385
Well that's it for Empties #2, let’s
hope I have more makeup empties next time and do let me know what you managed to
finish this month. Also, if you have some suggestions for mascara and liquid
eye liner please mention them.
