November & December Empties

Hello all & a very happy new year. I'm so excited about my empties this time as I have managed to finish a lot of products this past month. And it even includes makeup. How proud am I! Let's begin.

Patanjali Coconut Hair Wash

INR 95 for 150 ml

Easily my most favorite product from Patanjali. It's an absolute God sent for people with frizzy, dry hair. I love how it soothes my scalp. Will be buying this for all eternity.

KLF Nirmal Virgin Coconut Oil

INR 320 for 500 ml

Not too impressed with this one. The consistency is pretty thin & it disconcertingly never solidified too much- even in the dead of winter. Finished using it by doing oil pulling. Not repurchasing ever again.

Ayur Herbal Body Care Lotion in Cocoa Butter

INR 200 for 1000 ml

I've used up so many bottles of this back in college. Totally value for money. I might buy a different variant next time.

Patanjali Kesh Kanti Natural Hair Cleanser

INR 75 for 200 ml

I love this shampoo & have been using it from several years. Eyeing the aloe vera shampoo next.

Khadi Herbal Bath Salt in Nag Champa

INR 300 for 200 gm

This smells divine! I don't know if it does anything much but it's absolutely relaxing to use + the bathroom smells great for the entire day. I even took this with me while on a holiday just to use in the bathtub. Ah bliss! Might buy again.

Nature's Essence Magic Perfect Papaya Face Wash

INR 60 for 65 ml

I got this as a free gift with a facial kit. Although it doesn't lather as well as I want it to it cleans like a boss. I have even used it to wash my face when I was using light makeup & it's removed every speck of it. Also it smells awesome. Definite repurchase.

Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion

INR 260 for 100 ml

Bought this a while back after the relentless "Cetaphil Jai Jai" of most bloggers. Everyone seems to love this except me. It's super thick which rules it out as a facial moisturizer for me. And when I tried using it as a body moisturizer it was sticky & uncomfortable as hell. Glad to see it gone. Never again.

Aloe Veda Wild Jasmine Luxury Shower Gel

INR 180 for 300 ml

Quite like these shower gels especially since I stocked up on them at INR 120 each. Love the subtle smell & the non-drying nature. What I don't like is the label which gets all wonky & wrinkled within a couple of uses. I mean you are calling yourself "luxury", at the very least look the part. Still have 1 more of this.

Nature's Essence Magic Lemon Hand & Foot Cleanser

INR 100 for 125 ml

This was part of a Manicure kit which I got as gift with purchase somewhere. It smells like every other lemon dishwash liquid. Hated it. Used up by cleaning tiles etc. Never again.

Patanjali Mogra Body Cleanser

INR 25 for 75 gm

Can you tell I'm in a jasminy frame of mind? This is my favorite soap from Patanjali & have repurchased it many times. Love!

Nivea Nourishing Body Milk

INR 99 for 75 ml

Just regular stuff. Nothing to write home about.

Dove Intense Repair Conditioner

INR 40 for 40 ml

Got this as part of "Fun Friday Gift" while shopping on Nykaa. Exactly what is fun about a conditioner I'll never know. Anyhow, decent conditioner. Love the smell. Might repurchase.

Garnier BB Cream

INR 99 for 18 gm

Good God! This was bad for me. It gives a very shiny look which even a compact can't take care of for more than a couple of hours. Plus it gives zero coverage. Also it doesn't photograph well. What is the deal with this thing? Glad it's gone.

Lakme Perfect Radiance Intense Whitening Compact in Golden Medium

INR 150 for 8 gm

Took forever to finish this. I didn't like it one bit.

Tips & Toes Top Coat

INR 99 for 9 ml

Decent top coat at decent price. Nothing spectacular though.

Head & Shoulders Conditioner x 3

INR 4 for 7.5 ml

Another free gift. I somehow got on to the conditioner bandwagon pretty late but I'm making up for lost time. Good enough conditioner.

Chik Hairfall Prevent Shampoo x 2

INR 1 for 6 ml

Not great. Will not be repurchasing again.

Garnier Fructis Oil- in- Cream x 2

Free Sample of 7.5 gm

Does not work like oil, does not work well as leave in conditioner & does not work well as conditioner as well. What's with the OTT smell?

One Single Lone bottle of hotel shampoo

I can't seem to stop picking up these things. Might as well use them.

Discarding these things this month

Oriflame Dual Skin Corrector in Medium

INR for 1.6 gm

Too chalky for me & gets patchy when applied.

Coloressence Lipstick in Hot Look

Coloressence Lipstick in Magenta Janta

Coloressence Lipstick in Brick Red

INR 199 each

Got all 3 as part of their bridal kit along with kajal. The kajal is awesome, the lipstick not so much. Does not fade away evenly & gets patchy. Also all the bullets are shaky.

Nivea Fruity Shine Lip Balm

INR for 4.8 gm

Pet peeve- glitter in lip products. I mean what!

Revlon Lipliner Pencil in Burgundy

INR for 1.15 gm

Yet another gift with purchase. Don't like the colour too much.

That's the end of my rather long list of empties. Do you like decluttering often?
