July Empties 2020

 Running late... but here we are

Positive Root Therapy Kalonji Oil

INR 599 for 200 ml

I first started using Kalonji oil to treat a couple of bald patches I developed post pregnancy. It worked great but most people were onto it which hiked up prices like crazy. This one's pretty much useless. Did nothing + it didn't even have the smell of Kalonji. This time around I'm being all atmanirbhar and DIYing my own. Will let you know how it goes. 

Good Vibes Watermelon Gel

INR 40 for 10 gm

Okayish. Not repurchasing. 

Oriflame Roya Velvet Firming Eye Contour Cream

INR 699 for 15 gm

I rarely use eye cream, just don't think they work like they should. This was part of a set I got a while back. Glad to see it gone. The gorgeous smell is the only good thing about this entire range. Honestly, not one good product. Bah! 

The Face Shop Jeju Aloe Ice Gel

INR 500 for 300 ml

This has got to be my favourite aloe vera gel of all time. Don't be fooled by the "ice" in the name (it's not cooling/cold or whatever they were going for). I recently started reading labels on products & this one mentions silicone as an ingredient. In two minds since then. Let's just finish my stash & then decide on repurchase. 

Patanjali Saundarya Multani Mitti Face Scrub

INR 75 for 60 gm

This is actually a foaming face wash with gritty particles. I love using this as my second cleanse especially when wearing a full face of makeup. I already have a backup. 



Khadi Organique Pure Rose Water

INR 125 for 210 ml

Cost effective toner. Again I have a backup. 

Nivea Pearl & Beauty Roll-on Deodorant

INR 185 for 50 ml

Good for autumns and winters. This simply does not work for the Indian summer. Have a backup of this as well (I truly dislike running out of things) 

O'range Mild & Clear Shower Gel

INR 140 for 250 ml

Like these shower gels from Grof6ers. Just didn't like the smell of this variant. 

Gokul Santol Pure Sandalwood Soap

INR 35 for 75 gm

Something I bought just to qualify for free shipping on Amazon. So-so. Still have 2 more of these. 

Eyetex Dazzler Nail Polish Remover

INR 63 for 27 ml

Bought this because I couldn't find my beloved blue heaven one anywhere. Works okay. Will probably not be buying again. 

Did you finish any products this month?

Makeup Inventory 2020 - Compacts

 Let's hop on to the compacts now.


Maybelline White  Superfresh in Coral

INR 150 for 8 gm

I've hit pan quite some time back but this product refuses to die. Using diligently but will have to stop come winter. 

Oriflame Pure Colour Pressed Powder in Light Medium 

INR 350 for 20 gm (bought on BOGO) 

Using one of these from a while. I don't love it, I don't hate it. Will probably not be repurchasing again. I find Oriflame makeup products to be very mediocre. 


ADS Olive Compact in Shade 7

INR 220 for 50 gm

I should have checked the size of this thing before ordering. 50 gm is insane - it'll last me for 5 years I suppose.

Total number of products - 4

Number of products I would like to own - 2 (normal sized ones)
