How are you guys doin'?

I'm very sorry for the lack of posts here.. The corona pandemic is ruining our usual activities nowadays, hopefully we are all safe until this pandemic ends (and hopefully it will end soon! Just please stay at home whenever you can and routinely wash your hands and take your vitamins).

So anyway, here is a quick post of my current empties..

These empty products are probably from a few months ago that I managed to compiled and still keep them in my empties box in the corner of my bedroom. So you might see some old products / old labels here. And one thing to note, I will only include short review on each of them because I just want to put this post up and be done with it so I can do other tasks (I'm just not really in the mood today, huhuu..). So I'm sorry that this time I'm not in the mood for a long post, because my mind is somewhere else but I still want to get this done. So here it goes ..

Petal Fresh Volumizing Shampoo with Rosemary & Mint

This is a natural-sourced shampoo and I wanted to try this out because of the "rosemary & mint" at the label. Also because I haven't found a natural shampoo that can work with my hair. Natural shampoos tend to make my hair limp and greasy more easily, and unfortunately this one does too. I end up giving this to my husband after using a half bottle of it (and on hubby's dry hair this actually works well!).

> Recommended ? Yes if you have dry hair

Lucido-L Triple Beauty Vitamin Spray

This is a Japanese-brand hair vitamin spray, and it is a leave-in vitamin that I used after every time I wash my hair. So I towelled dry my hair and then I sprayed a few spritzes of this on the hair shaft and skipping the roots. This would make my hair feels light and bouncy all day, and would prolong the time until the next cycle wash.

> Replacement : Still have one stock left!

Dior Snow White-Reveal UV Shield Makeup

I love Dior makeup (although I haven't tried that much of Dior makeup) but this compact powder/foundie is so nice to use. The formula is so good it clings to my skin and the coverage is flawless. The longevity is also very good and it already has a built in UV too.

> Recommended ? Yes

> Replacement : Nothing. Still trying to used up my Mac Studio Fix.

Nature Republic Aloe Vera Soothing Gel

A useful product to have is an aloe vera gel. I always have this in stock because I find it useful for a lot of purposes, such as : for after-sun lotion, for cooling facial mask, for hair mask, for bug bites that cause red hot itchy bumps on the skin, and for burn treatment (example: when my finger accidentally got hit with a boiling pan, or even when I have my carpal tunnel syndrome in which my fingers feel like its burning inside).

> Recommended ? Yes I think every girl should have aloe vera gel in their drawer ;)

> Replacement : Missha Premium Aloe Soothing Gel

Natural Honey Moisture Rich Lotion

It has 24 hour formula of olive oil and Vitamin E, this is a light body lotion which I think is more suitable for hot sunny weather in Indonesia. It absorbs really fast and smells subtle but nice. Love the honey formula too :)

> Recommended ? Yes

> Replacement : Nothing. Still using up my small bottle of The Body Shop White Musk Satin Body Lotion.

Soap & Glory The Righteous Butter

This was my travel body lotion because I have it in small tub size so it's easier to bring around. I love the scent and formula of this one. Although the scent is quite strong but that means you won't have to add perfume to finish your look. And the formula is rich but absorbs quite nicely without leaving any residue.

> Recommended ? Yes 

> Replacement : Bath & Body Works Sweet Pea Body Lotion

Simple Soothing Anti Perspirant

I love this! It's natural so it's safer for your skin and for the environment. And it also feels dry (because I hate wet roll ons hehe).

> Recommended ? Yes

> Replacement : Nothing yet. Would like to repurchase this too if only it's available here.

All these empty perfumes below will be reviewed in details on my perfume blog : Diary of Scent.

Clinique Happy EDP

D&G 3 L'Imperatrice (decant)

Commodity Gold (vial)

----

So in total it includes 13 full size products and 3 sample products. I think I'm satisfied with it because most of them were full size products which usually took a long time for me to finish. I always love finishing up a full size product because it gives me satisfaction and the feeling of relieve hehe..

I'll see you in my next Empties post !
