My Empties for July to September 2013

Empties
(Clockwise from top center)
L'Oreal Base Magique Transforming Smoothing Primer
Dermstrata Erythromycin Solution
Pond's Cold Cream
Belo Whitening Lotion
Human Heart Nature Moisturizing Conditioner in Lush Vanilla
Human Heart Nature Kids All Natural Sanitizer in Bubbly Gum
Human Heart Nature Kids Natural Shampoo and Body Wash in Pineapple Pawikan
Olay Day Cream with SPF15
Snoe Body Ritual Recipes Scrumptous Body Spritz and Bath Syrup (Honey Dew Melon Yogurt)
Snoe Hair Heroes Intense Argan Oil

Snoe Hair Heroes Invisible Wonder

Two questions for each empty: (1) Will I repurchase? (2) What's my take or my best memory?


L'Oreal Base Magique Transforming Smoothing Primer. Not now but might reconsider in the future. I can manage to survive with moisturizer as my base and primer for now.



Dermstrata Erythromycin Solution. Not now but might reconsider in the future. I will move to using Clindamycin Solution when my second bottle runs out, only because I think that Clindamycin is milder than Erythromycin (and that's just my personal opinion).


Pond's Cold Cream. Not now but might reconsider in the future. It was a great remover of stubborn eye makeup although I will give another cleanser brand, Physiogel, a try.


Belo Whitening Lotion. Yes. The consistency, smell and efficacy meet my minimum requirements for a good lotion.


Human Heart Nature Moisturizing Conditioner in Lush Vanilla. Not now but might reconsider in the future. I loved the vanilla smell ofcourse but I will be trying out the "serious" salon-use organic conditioners for now.


Human Heart Nature Kids All Natural Sanitizer in Bubbly Gum. No. The "bubbly gum" scent is memorable (for kids maybe) but it didn't work for me.

Human Heart Nature Kids Natural Shampoo and Body Wash in Pineapple Pawikan. Not now but might reconsider in the future. I loved the pineapple smell and this will be good for traveling light; although for now, I will be alternating between Snoe and a drugstore brand of color care shampoo.


Olay Day Cream with SPF15. No. These were BPI freebies and I'm on my third and last bottle now; I'm on the lookout for my "next" moisturizer.



Snoe Body Ritual Recipes Scrumptous Body Spritz. No. I loved the smell but I think the Zen Zest scents are much cheaper and smells just as great for an everyday or random spritz.


Snoe Body Ritual Recipes Bath Syrup. No. I loved the smell but I'm more than happy with the cheaper milk salt scrub from Bonne.


Snoe Hair Heroes Intense Argan Oil. Not now but might reconsider in the future. This smelled good and was Snoe Invisible Wonder's perfect partner; for now, I'm trying out the color care organic stuff from Pureology.




Snoe Hair Heroes Invisible Wonder.Yes. It smelled so good and helped transform my thinning hair to a much improved crowning glory.


That's all dears. The empties and my two cents each. 
Love lots, Gen

Disclaimer: I am not a beauty blogger. I do not recommend or rate products per se. I only share my experiences while using them and the whole thought process behind getting, using, falling in love or hating the product. I leave the beauty blogging to the experts; in fact, I go back to their reviews from time to time though I may not necessarily agree with all of these --- What's good for her may not be necessarily good for me. I am a confessed novice in every way --- I only try to view each experience with "new eyes" and reflect some more on how beauty can be a gift that should be experienced rather than seen. So don't take my word for it --- What works for me may not necessarily work for you --- but go ahead and take that adventure! The risks we take do make our lives interesting. =)
