Products I've used up & Mini Review

Hi

I am back with another empties.I love reading these kinds of posts or watching the videos because when you use a product up completely then you definitely can judge whether you like it or not ? how does it really work? does it really perform well for what it claims to do?Is it worth the money?...
I normally don't include bath products in these posts unless they do some thing really worth mentioning! So let's get started...

  • Batiste Dry shampoo





 Batiste dry shampoo comes in variety of scents and also there is one specific for darker hair that does not leave a white cast behind. This one that I used up is the original one.First off about the scent ,It has a strong soapy smell that I don't like but I could tolerate! It does leave a white cast behind how ever after messaging your roots with your fingers for a couple of minutes and then comb it through it will disappear. It definitely absorbs all the oil and leaves the hair perfectly clean and fresh and gives volume to your hair as well . I will not repurchase it because I was sensitive to some ingredients in it that made my scalp itchy every time I used it!!
I will try other dry shampoos and will let you know what is my favorite. For any one who doesn't have this problem that I had it is a good dry shampoo.
Price 8.00 CAD (walmart)

  • BIODERMA SOLUTION MICELLAIRE





This product is a makeup remover.It is made in France and fortunately available in Canada .I purchase the big(500ml )bottle which comes with a pump from shoppers drug mart  for 33.00 CAD.The smaller bottle is 250 ml and 22.00 CAD.I absolutely love this makeup remover. I use it only to remove my eye makeup.For my face I use Kirkland wipes which I reviewed in the previous Finished products and mini reviews post.
This makeup remover cleans all my eye makeup and I should mention that I always wear complete eye makeup,eyeliner ,eyeshadow, mascara,the whole nine yard,and this solution removes all of it. I've gone through several bottles of it and I will always repurchase it!


  • AVALON ORGANICS HAND AND BODY LOTION

     



This is a certified organic hand and body lotion which is available in most organic stores and it is available in some other stores that carry organic products as well. I bought it from shoppers drug mart.The price varies between 8.00 to 11.00 CAD depends on the store.This lotion is a reach moisturizer.The texture is not too tick and not too watery .It absorbs fast and easily and leaves the skin soft and hydrated . It has a lovely herbal scent .It is free of paraben and other harsh preservatives.It contains sunflower ,flax seed and coconut oils and it is 100% vegan and cruelty free . I will repurchase it .I absolutely love it and I have 2 back up of it right now!


  • CLINIQE all about eyes 

     



Clinique all about eyes is a nice and light eye cream. I can't say it did a miraculous job on my eyes .It has a nice consistency(not too thick and not too watery). It absorbs easily and fast so you don't need to tug the delicate skin under your eyes to apply it.It  moisturizes the skin perfectly and keeps it moisturized through out the day.It doesn't make your under eye makeup look greasy or patchy ,however in terms of instantly and over time  diminish the look of under eye circles, shadows, and fine lines which is what the product claim to do ,I can't say I agree.I might still repurchase it in the future just for the sake of hydrating under eye skin.
Price: 37.00 CAD


  • CLINIQUE repairwear uplifting




I received this 15 ml sample size in a gift with purchase which I have to say it lasted me a decent time.The full size is 1.7 Fl oz or 50 ml and  it is 71.00 CAD available at any clinique counter. It has SPF 15 and the one that I've used was specific for dry combination to combination oily which actually was perfect for my skin(normal to combination). I used this cream during the cooler months so it was perfect at the time because it is a rich cream and very moisturizing . Considering the fact that in Canadian cold winter skin becomes very dry it was very comforting but I think it might be a little heavy during the warmer months at least for people with oily or combination skin.I did not see any special changes in the firmness and elasticity of my skin.All I can say is that it was a very good moisturizer.I will not repurchase it because I don't pay 71.00 CAD to a moisturizer! When I pay this much for a cream I expect to see some changes in my skin more than just hydrating it.



  • Stila Lip glaze in maraca



 These lip glosses are on the pricey side. Full size is  23.00 CAD .This particular shade was in a trio set with 2 other beautiful colors. They are 1.5 ml or 0.05 fl oz. I got the trio from sephora long time ago for 13.00 CAD !They have a fruity scent that is not too over powering ,to me it is very pleasant . They last decently long. I love stila lip glosses and I have several shades of them how ever if you don't like the sticky feeling of some lipglosses I should warn you they are a little sticky which I am ok with it.If you like to try them the economic way is to buy the sets either trio sets or the big sets that normally come around Christmas time.This shade( maraca) was a gorgeous peachy nude and unfortunately I can't find it any where!
