Collective 6 Months Empties

I've been putting off doing a proper empties post from quite some time now. Somehow something or the other would crop up & empties would go on the back burner. Here I am finally doing a collective 6 months empties. To be honest, I've not used up a lot of products. Anyhow here's the list

Silk Berry Hand & Body Moisturizing Lotion in Rose & Honey

INR 245 for 500gm

I first saw this brand online & bought a bunch of products. Decent lotion, very light weight & non- greasy. Apt for summers. Not buying again.

Palmolive Heavenly Vanilla Moisturizing Body Wash

INR 190 for 250 ml

Super creamy. I loved using this all through winter. Might repurchase.

VLCC Mulberry & Rose Fairness Face Wash

INR 150 for 150 ml

I really want to like this face wash because it does it's job well. But there is something utterly disconcerting about using a pink coloured rose face wash which smells like orange. And not any old orange, it smells like freshly squeezed orange juice. I love the fragrance, it just feels surreal that it's pink coloured. Got on a BOGO offer, still have one more to use.

Silk Berry Time- Control Facial Massage Creme in Cocoa & Chocolate

INR 270 for 250 gm

One more from the same brand. Fantastic, rich cream which doesn't leave your face greasy. I used it up as a body butter because it was too rich for my face.

Moisturex

INR 208 for 100 gm

My HG hand cream. I've been using since a decade & nothing works better on my super rough hands. Will be repurchasing forever.

Ponds Pure White Deep Cleansing Facial Foam

INR 35 for 20 gm

I hated this one from the bottom of my heart. It's way too drying even on my oily skin. Plus I simply hate the signature white beauty aroma. I'm even considering not buying the BB cream again simply because of the smell! Needless to say never buying ever again.

St D' vence Multani Lotion

INR 210 for 100 ml

I quite like this. This is not a lotion but actually a face pack. Confusing name eh? Might buy again.

Vedic Line Anti- Pigmentation Blend

INR 150 for 10 ml

I loved using this facial oil because of the smell- lavender & rosemary. But it does precious little for my skin. Will not be buying again but I am repurposing the bottle. Super cute.

Vaadi Herbals Lavish Almond Soap X 2

INR 28 for 75 gm

The last of my Vaadi Herbals haul from previous year. Nothing to write home about, it's just regular soap. No repurchase.

Patanjali Multani Mitti Body Cleanser

INR 35 for 75 gm

Love this one & the mild exfoliation it provides. Have bought 2 more.

Royal Mirage Soap

Don't remember the price

Decent soap. Not repurchasing again.

Vaadi Herbals Enticing Lemongrass Scrub Soap

INR 38 for 75 gm

Decent enough glycerine soap. Might repurchase again.

Himalaya Herbals Moisturizing Aloe Vera Face Wash

INR 95 for 100 ml

Quite good for winters when I don't want my face to be extra dry. The fresh scent adds to the experience of using this face wash. Will be buying again come winter.

Patanjali Anti-Dandruff Hair Cleanser

INR 110 for 200 ml

I bought this by mistake thinking it was the regular Kesh Kanti one. I hated the Arnica type homeopathy smell this one has. Not buying again.

Garnier Ultra Blends Royal Jelly & Lavender

INR 120 for 175 ml

I've fond memories of using Ultra Doux back in my college days. The only shampoo which helped with my frizzy hair was the one with walnut extract (or so they claimed! ). This one came in a similar packaging & had my favorite lavender scent. Simply loved it! Will be buying a different variant next time.

Sunsilk Soft & Smooth Shampoo Sachets X5

INR 3 for 7 ml

I seem to have an endless supply of sachets! Love these but the product seems to be somehow reducing in the packet itself. It's been more than a year since I bought it. No repurchase until I finish all I have.

Sunsilk Black Shine Shampoo SachetsX 3

INR 1 for 5.5 ml

Same as above.

Discarding

Health & Glow Cocoa Body Butter

INR 250 for 200 gm

Where do I begin with this one! Nothing seems to be working for this product except for the gorgeous cocoa butter smell. It does not spread or even absorb on my skin. After an eternity of rubbing into skin, it somehow forms a tight layer on my skin which is far from moisturizing. Hated it! Never buying again.

That's all for now. Will be back again with next month's empties post.

August Empties

Hello, Running late again. Ah well, let's get on with it.

Neutrogena Deep Clean Blackhead Eliminating Daily Scrub

INR 240 for 100 gm

Even though it's marketed as a face scrub, it lathers extremely well & so I used it as a face wash. I LOVE it. I don't have to do anything else to tackle my pesky blackheads while using this. The only bummer is the rather medicinal smell. Nevertheless repurchase worthy.

Vaadi Herbals Olive Facial Bar

INR 34 for 25 gm

Hallelujah! The last one from my bulk buying spree a while back. Never buying ever again.

Aloe Veda Chocolate Vanilla Luxury Shower Gel

INR 180 for 300 ml

Mixed feelings about this one. It cleans well, doesn't overdry but the smell is a bit of a downer. It doesn't smell like true chocolate. I have 2 more variants of this shower gel.

Nature's Essence Bridal Foot Care

INR 175 for 100 gm

This was part of Nature's Essence Manicure & Pedicure Kit. I love using it as a hand cream for my super dry hands. Might buy again.

Bioline White Petroleum Jelly

INR 50 for 100 gm

This is the real deal- WAY better than regular Vaseline & the only thing that works on my rough heels. Have already bought a humongous jar of the same.

Head & Shoulders Conditioner

INR 4 for 7.5 ml

Got it as a free gift with some shampoo. Since I don't use conditioner regularly, it's quite a task to finish these.

Sunsilk Jasmine Black Shampoo X2

INR 1 for 5.5 ml

My HG shampoo. Will repurchase forever.

Discarding this month

Lakme Clean Up Face Mask Fresh Fairness

INR 110 for 50 gm

Oh sweet Lord! This thing expired a whole year back. Into the bin.

Streetwear Color Rich MegaShine Lip Gloss in Party Melon

Bought this one purely for nostalgic reasons- I used quite a few of their products back when I was in college. But I'm SO over glosses right now. Plus the tube cracked.

Chambor Glitzy Gloss in 615 Intense

Loved this colour & the coconutty fragrance. Discarding for the same reason as above. Simply not digging glosses anymore.

Maybelline Pink Alert POW4

I like this colour but the lipstick's become kinda squishy. Not sure how much more time the bullet will remain intact. Also I have a near dupe of this colour in Maybelline MAT 1 lipstick.

I seem to only discard makeup & not finish any of it. Well, at least my vanity box is not groaning anymore with the weight of unwanted makeup. Cheers.
