Now that we've reached to the end of September; the third quarter of this year, it's time for another round Empties post and as per usual, let's go to skincare empties first!
I've finished the second tub of that
THE FACE SHOP Chia Seed Sebum Control Moisture Cream and as much as I want to repurchase as it's indeed great as day moisturiser but you guys know me; I want to try other products. I've talked about
LANEIGE White Plus Renew products that I've finished in
last Empties post and at this time around, I've emptied the
Skin Refiner and
Emulsion sisters. I gotta say that these are the last ones I have in my stash and although I still have 2 bottles of essence and 2 tubs of creams, I'm not going to repurchase these as I'm already looking forward to try the new upgraded White Dew skincare line. I also have finished the first full-sized tub of
LANEIGE Water Sleeping Pack_EX. I really like it as it retain
and I'm glad to let you guys know that this sleeping mask is a staple in my routine and I've already repurchased this although I've got the the latest upgraded version; Water Sleeping Mask being the fourth upgrade since its launched back in 2002. I know last time I said I said I'll purchase the new Firming Sleeping Mask but not to worry as I've got the deluxe sample of it to try.
As for cleansers, I've managed to finish Bifesta Sebum Cleansing Lotion and its sister Sebum Foaming Whip. These are my favourite among the other variants that I've bought and I'd be sure to come back tho these once I've finished everything. That COSRX Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser is the first tube that I've finished and I've already got my backup for it. It's gentle, cleanse really well, doesn't dry out my skin and I absolutely loving it!
I've replaced my night moisturiser with brightening sleeping mask from LANEIGE which is the White Plus Renew Capsule Sleeping Pack on several nights the past months and I quite liking it! My skin appeared brightened, smooth and plumped with hydration! That small bottle is actually the Spot Ampoule that I've added to my night routine as I applied on my acne scars. I do feel like it's drying my skin so I dialed down the usage from every night to every other night and the dryness reduced significantly.
I've also managed to finish handful of deluxe samples! There are the LANEIGE cleansing oils, Multi Cleanser, and Mini Pore Blurring Tightener. I still got several more of these so I won't rush in buying the full-sized version for those that I actually like.
I also decided to give the no. 1 bestselling product from Innisfree which is The Green Tea Seed Serum a try for a week as I've used up the sample sachets and deluxe samples. I gotta say I'm liking it already and I've purchased the full-sized version recently. As for those Green Tea skincare samples, I do find them rather average in moisturising as I've brought them to my weekend trip recently and I guess I won't be purchasing the full-sized versions. The Innisfree Jeju Orchid Skin however was so nice and I've added it to my shopping list probably next year as I've already got my next toner that I want to use. Those Capsule Recipe Packs also from the brand were great but I don't think I want to get them anytime soon as I still got some more in my stash as GWPs from my last Innisfree hauls.
I've also finished the deluxe samples for THE FACE SHOP Chia Seed Sebum Control Moisture Water and Cream as I've used up the full-sized versions.
Lastly, let's go to body care products!
Instead of going back to my usual Sunsilk green bottle shampoo, I've gotten the Hijab Recharge Anti-Dandruff instead but I guess it didn't perform any magic in solving my dandruff and scalp issue. Not going to repurchase. This time I've finished the Hair Conditioner from Melilea as I didn't get the conditioner from Sunsilk and I do find it quite average in softening my hair. Not going to repurchase as well.
For hand care, I only finished that huge tube of hand cream, Lea Mind Protective Hand Cream also from Melilea but the scent for this is quite overpowering not in any way that I like so although it's moisturising my dry hands, I won't be repurchasing this.
So I guess that's all from me. I hope you enjoyed this post as much I'm very much satisfied with these products are being used up. Off their went into a real bin.
I'll see you guys on my next post! Anneyong~
