and Feb Empties 2021

 Like I mentioned last time February's flew by so quickly that I didn't even post my empties. Here I am with empties from Jan & Feb



Alps Goodness Shea Butter Shower Gel

200 ml

Decent enough. I'm not digging the scent. Will probably be buying a different variant in future. 

Gram flour

500 gm

I'm a huge believer in the power of washing my face with gram flour ever since it helped control a bout of adult acne 10 years ago. Since then I've incorporated it into my skincare routine. Sometimes I wash my face with a mixture of gram flour and fuller's earth; other times I just like to use it on it's own. Either way I get through this quickly. Will be repurchasing forever. 

Tulips Cotton Pads 50 pieces

Since the past 6 months I've been using super soft flannels to cleanse my face instead of cotton & this pack of 50 cotton rounds lasted forever & a half for me. Pretty decent. 

NY Bae Nail Lacquer Remover

30 ml

Average nail polish remover. Nothing exciting. 

Fiama Shampoo 30 ml

Fiama Body Lotion 30 ml

Why are these not getting done with? God knows I've been using these a lot. Trying to get rid of all minis from hotels etc

February 



Liril Berry Blast Body Wash

250 ml

I hated this one. Smells super sweet & I constantly felt like I was lathering up with mixed fruit jam! Never again 

Good Vibes Havana Mango Hydrating Gel

Good Vibes Aloe Vera Gel

10 ml each

I'm so glad I had the sense to buy the smallest size available for these gels. They are okay, definitely not the best & I will not be repurchasing when I finally finish all of them. Why in hell did I buy so many! 

Alps Goodness Cucumber Soothing Face Mask

29 gm

I like to use a clay mask every other day in summer. Like all of Purplle's in house brands, these are pretty average. I like the fact that they have tiny sizes available. Even if you don't like the product you will not be stuck with it forever. 1 down, 3 more to go

Maliao Rose Gold Elixir Face Serum

15 ml

Where do I begin with this one? As you can probably tell, this is a dupe of Farsali Rose Gold Elixir. When have I ever not liked a dupe & so bought this immediately. Its a bright yellow oil with gold flakes (really? At 200 bucks!). This is one of my pet peeves - why use gold/silver flakes in skincare? I strongly believe that it will aggravate acne. I used this on my neck since it was too heavy for my face. Smells like oil with no discernable scent & it stains. Who would add colorants to a leave on skin product? Stay away. 

Fiama Body Lotion 30 ml

Random Hotel Body Lotion

Seemingly endless supply.

Discards



Profusion Eyeshadow Palette

Bought this ages ago & loved it initially. Haven't reached for it in a long time

Lip balm

Super waxy, does not moisturise & smells of castor oil. Into the bin.
