Empties and Purchases (4/22/12)

Here is another round of empties and purchases. I’ve been really enjoying doing those posts.

Origins – Drink Up Mask

It smelt nice and was quite moisturizing, but the scent was too strong to my taste personally. Besides, I would rather buy the aloe mask by The Body Shop.

Almay – Eye Makeup Remover Pads

It took off the eye makeup very effectively, but it was quite oily. Other than that, the pads were rather rough which I also hated. 

 Lancome – Bi Facil Eye Makeup Remover

It removed waterproof eye makeup with ease and I did like it a lot. The only reason why I would not repurchase is because I find the Clinique one works just fine and it is cheaper.

Maybelline – Sensational Lipstick in Born with It

This was my first lipstick and I had it for more than two years. I liked it, did not love it. 
Products I will repurchase.

Empties and Purchases (Revised Project Pan)

I would not say project 100 pan is a completely fail, but I did purchase quite a few items yesterday. So I decided to make compromise between project pan and the urge to shop. What I will be doing from now on is that I cannot buy anything until I finish a certain amount of products. Since I do go through skincare products very fast, 10 is the minimum for each round.

First, I will start on those products I won’t repurchase.

Giovanni – Shampoo and Conditioner

I hated both of them. The shampoo was quite drying and the conditioner was not that nourishing. Besides, it smells minty and earthy which I am not a huge fan of. On the top of that, my roots got oily very fast when I was using them.

I didn’t like the Jurlique skincare line at all. If you’re interested, please check out my review on them.

Korres – Antiaging Primer

I really didn’t get the primer. I didn’t find my foundation last longer with it on. It was like a moisturizer to me except that it was not hydrating.

Skin79 – Pearl BB Cream

The only thing I didn’t like about the bb cream is the noticeable shimmer. It made my face like a disco ball, but it did work as a primer for me. It did not lengthen the wear of my foundation, but I did like the lit-from-within effect.

Now move on the stuff which is ok, but not good enough for me to repurchase. 

They were all very nice, but if I could find something better, I would’t repurchase them.

I liked the extra coverage the MAC msf gave, but it did not control the oil that well.

This is what I will repurchase.
