The Empties || Tops and Flops



Well, today I will give you some reviews of my recent used up products. This post includes empties from hair to skincare (everything is involved). The opinions are my own and I can just say what I regard from using this products. It's not a guarentee, that you will like /don't like a product aswell. Opinions can vary and it's just how I found the products.


The Tops || including picks from Bioderma,Batiste and Dove etc.




Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micelle Solution | This has been an absolute favourite of mine! It's maybe the most hyped makeup remover product ever so there isn't much to say about it. It just removes the makeup quickly and dependable without leaving any makeup residues. I know it's a little bit more pricey (but totally worth the money and specialised for sensitive skin, doesn't burn in the eyes) but I think compared to its dupes it's just the winner at the end (Comparison with another similar product soon, so stay tuned!)

Lavera 2-in-1 Cleansing Lotion | Well that is my go-to rescue product (already mentioned in my July Favourites last year) when it's monday morning and I'm not in the mood to get ready. It just gives you a fresh kick and makes you feel more awake. The lotion really leaves your skin smooth and hydrated, because of Jojoba and Sheabutter. I think this in combination with the Bioderma Micelle Water are my all time skincare favourites. They just do what they promise and never let me down when I'm having a bad skin day. And a plus: It's vegan and because of that only with natural ingredients.

Nesti Dante Il Frutteto Bath and Shower Liquid Soap | This product I bought in Italy a long time ago, because I always loved Nesti Dante (before I tried the shower gel, I have always known that they have the most amazing smelling soaps) because my grandma used to love the soaps so much. This one is made with Natural olive oil, red grape leaves and lemon extract. All ingredients are also from natural origins. The smell is really fresh and citrus like and I absolutely loved it! Because of the olive oil it leaves your skin baby-soft.

Soap and Glory The Righteous Butter | Well it's from Soap and Glory so I don't need to talk about this too long. It just smells like the typical Soap and Glory scent and it was used up really quickly, because of this scent. Also really hydrating and I will definitely buy the bigger size of it as this has been a travel size I bought at Heathrow Airport when I was in London, but only then when I use up my hundred other body lotions (my family knows too much that I love pamper products so my shelfes are closed because of overcrowding.

Dove Pure Care Dry Oil Shampoo | Well I found this at my local drugstore and it looked good because of the gold packaging (packaging victim) so I thought to give it a go. And it hasn't disappointed me I rather was very impressed, because it left my hair shiny and smooth and I loved the feeling after I washed them (in opposite to my current hair product, I will mention in my flops afterwards). And I have bought this again, so I can't wait to use it again. It's also a good budget buy, so you definitely should check this one out, if you are looking for a hair product, which hydrates your hair but doesn't weight it dow.

Batiste Cherry Dry Shampoo | Also a hyped range and for me the best dry shampoos (already reviewed: http://thebowkarina.blogspot.de/2014/09/12-things-i-loved-in-this-summer.html   )of all. This is like my lifesaver at school time when I have learned too long and it's too late to wash my hair, so I also grab for this in the morning to have another day with fresh hair. It's just something I won't miss in my hair routine and I always rebuy it when it's used up. Not just for another day with fresh hair to get away from greasy hair, but also a volume maker to get your hair more textured.


The Flops || including picks from Pantene Pro-V, Soap and Glory etc.

 

Pantene Pro-V Repair and Protect Shampoo | This has been a love- hate product. It left my hair smooth and shiny but after one day I had the feeling that my hair went greasy a bit faster at usual. And this was annoying, because I could wash my hair more than with an other hair shampoo. It also smelled okay (a bit synthetic, but not too bad). I'm happy that I used it up, because it didn't fit to my hair.

Soap and Glory Glad Hair Day Shampoo | Yes, you read right, I criticise a Soap and Glory product but with that I luckily haven't bought the big size of it. It just smells like a chemical apricot (not the usual good smelling S&G scent) and left my hair a little bit sticky and I haven't seen a difference to my hair before the washing. Also I found the texture to liquidy, so I won't buy this product again.

Aussie Volume Shampoo | Third hair shampoo in a row, but also a good and bad product: It smells not too good, really hard to describe this scent but it just wasn't my favourite (you get use to it with the time). Also left my hair a bit sticky and with the described scent. But at one point it does its job: It gives you volume like hell! (for me too much as I have voluminous hair, so it wasn't the right product for me). The scent is a bit weird, but if you want volume it could be the right product for you.

Nivea Soft Face Cream | The scent is nice, just like all Nivea Products. The product hydrates your skin very good if you have really dry skin, but for mine it was too hydrating and too greasy and hasn't soaked in well, so I will try rather some other products as it hasn't been specialised for my skin. But if you have dry skin, maybe it could help wonders with your skin, it's really skin type dependent.



Tell me if you have used one of the products and how you find it.
I'm looking forward to your opinions!


See you next time,
Karina <3
