January 2017 Empties Post

Hello Everyone!

I have not done an Empties post in a long while. So here goes 2017's first empties. 

SeaSoulDead Sea Facial Mud Mask

This product came to me in one of the FabBags. I have loved using it! Dead Sea soil is known for its beauty properties. My skin always felt refreshed after using this mud mask, especially in the humid months. An excellent product.

Johnson and Johnson's Retin-Ox Correxion Intensive Anti-Wrinkle Serum

I do not have a lot of wrinkles, so I can't comment  on its efficacy. But it definitely did help on days that my skin felt particularly dehydrated. But I do not think I will buy this INR 2000/- product. Not worth it.

Kama Ayurveda Mridul Soap-free Face Cleanser

This is an all natural product, more like a scrub. I did not try cleaning make up with it at the end of the day, but used it as a morning cleanser.  It really refreshed me before I got ready for work.

Biotique Bio Almond Soothing and Nourishing Eye Cream

I have absolutely loved this product! It absorbs into the skin quickly and it never irritated my eyes. 

Nuxe Micellar Cleansing Water

This is one of the gentler micellar waters around. It did not really take out all the makeup, but on days I stayed in and did not use any makeup, I used this product to clean off before applying my favourite serum. I absolutely loved the rose fragrance of the product.

So that is it for this post.

How many products have you emptied? Let me know in the Comments box below....

Empties Post: December 2015

Hey Everyone!

I know, I have been missing in action for over a month! Well life happens and I was sooooo busy, I hardly had time to breathe. I was travelling, hosting, correcting and grading… in short running around like a headless chicken.

So here I am with a long overdue post on Empties. This edition is mainly about samples that I have emptied. So here goes…

Kama Ayurveda Rejuvenating and Brightening Ayurvedic Night Cream was an absolute favourite! Kama Ayurveda products are generally good, and this one is no exception. Though, it was just a  5gm sample pack it lasted me a good two weeks. Almost from the 2^nd application, I had friends complimenting me on my skin looking much improved. I have already ordered a full sized product and am waiting for delivery.

Vivel Cell Renew Fortify + Repair Hand Crème has nothing special to write home about. It is just like any other hand cream. There is nothing bad about it, however, it has not prompted me to ditch my other hand creams in its favour. It did relieve dryness after hand washing. So it did its work as expected.

Just Herbs Rejuvenating Beauty Elixir Facial Serum: I had read a couple of reviews of this product and some bloggers had raved about this product. But, frankly, I did not really notice any change on my facial skin on its application. So its not something I’ll repurchase.

Vert Fresh Cucumber and Mint Face Scrub Was something I enjoyed using. I loved the fact that the scrub was soft and not hard and abrasive on my skin. The product left my skin feeling clean and fresh. A definite 'buy again' product. For a detailed review of this product click HERE

Kronokare Carribean Ginger Shower Gel and Body Lotion was brilliant! why do I love it so much? Click HERE to find out!

That's it, for this month's empties....

What's In My FabBag: November 2015 Edition

Hey All!

I got my November FabBag two days a go and here's what I got this month.....

Lollipops Paris Matte Concealerin Biscuit

Product Price: INR 800/- for 5.5 ml

 Sample size in Bag: Full Size

Its a nice concealer with decent coverage. But I was just wondering, Fabbag has sent me 2 concealers in 3 months... hmm..

Kama Ayurveda Pure Rose Water

Product Price: INR 250/- for 50 ml

Sample Size in Bag:  Full Size

FabBag gave its subscribers a choice for this option. One could chose from lipsticks, concealers and a few other products.I decided to select this product since I love spritzing m face with rose water to settle my make-up and generally freshening up in the summer months. Its something I love!

Ayorma Fairness and Cell Renew Night Cream

Product Price: INR 649/- for 50 gms

 Sample Size in Bag: 15 gms

The cream smells a lot like Boroline and a hint of herbs, quite pleasant in fact. As the colder weather is setting in I can feel my skin get dryer. So, I'm looking forward to trying this cream. Watch out for the review...

SeaSoul Body Massage Candle

Product Price: INR 300/- for 50 ml

Sample Size in Bag: Full Size

Now this is a really interesting product. I'm keen to try this out right away. But I'm going to hold out a bit. Why? Well I have  rural visit coming up with my students. These field trips end up being physically demanding and stressful. So I'm going to use it after I return. Really put the product to the test. We'll see how it measures up!

FabBag is a monthly subscription service starting at INR 399/-. Each month's bag contains 3-5 products from national and international brands ranging from drugstore to luxury. Product sizes range from small sample sizes to full size. To join this service click HERE.
