If there's one good thing that comes with putting yourself on a spending ban, except for the saving money part, of course, is that you get to finally give some love to the stuff you already own and hopefully use some of it up.
And as so, ever since my last empties post all the way back in July, I tried to stay low on the spending side of things and devoted myself to finishing up all those products that were lurking on my dressing table and in my drawers, which led to quite some used up products pilling up in yet another dresser.
No, that's not trash, Mom. I need that for my blog.
Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation (12€)
Just in case you didn't know, because I mean, it's not like I talk about it all the freaking time, this foundation was an absolute game-changer for me, as Rimmel offers it in the shade 'Light Porcelain' - the first ever shade of a foundation to match my insanely pale skin.
I enjoyed every drop of this foundation. It's so lightweight that you could think that you're not wearing anything on your face at all. It also made my skin look really glowy and gave it a lit-from-within look, which makes it ideal for the colder season when my skin will probably seem a little dull.
Would I repurchase?
I already have! I loved the foundation so much that I immediately went and repurchased it once I was about to run out of my first one, but I haven't gotten to use it much as I tanned quite a lot soon after and it now is a tad too light for me.
The Body Shop Body Sorbet in 'Pink Grapefruit' (13€)
I used this product so much this summer that I knew I would use it up more sooner than later, but I was still upset when I did. I'm not joking.
The smell of this is absolutely gorgeous, it does smell very much like grapefruit and the smell lingers for a while after you've used it, which I love. It also sinks into the skin really fast, which is great for people like me who have no patience whatsoever. And it made my legs feel heavenly soft. It was really worth every single penny I paid for it.
Would I repurchase?
Even though I loved this body sorbet to bits, I want to try and use some of the other body lotions/milks I have hidden in my bathroom before I buy anything else.
But once I will have run out of all of those, I actually might.
John Frieda Frizz Ease Beyond Smooth Shampoo (8,99€ for the full size)
This travelled sized version of John Frida's Frizz Ease shampoo was actually given to me for free when I purchased said shampoo, and it was ideal for all the travelling I did in August!
The shampoo promises to rid your hair of any frizz and strenghten its structure more and more with every wash, and I definitely stand by that. It improved my hair's horrible condition so much!
If you're interested in this miracle product, I have a full review up on it here.
Would I repurchase?
I will definitely repurchase the full sized product once I use it up, but the travel sized one might be something that I'll keep in mind for next summer, for when I'm on the move a lot and need a compact product that will still do the job.
Davidoff Cool Water Woman 'Happy Summer' Perfume
When I was rumaging through my perfumes, looking for one that I could take on vacation with me, and I stumbled upon this one, which is actually a hand-me-down from my Mom, who years ago decided to give it to me as she wasn't really using it.
This is probably the most summery perfume that I own! It smells really fruity and tropical - like mangoes and apples, mhhh.
The scent lasted for quite a while, especially considering that it's more of a soft perfume.
Would I repurchase?
As this is a limited edition perfume from back in 2007 (holy hell how long has this been hiding at the back of my drawer), it obviously isn't available anymore.
I don't think I would repurchase it anyway because I usually like to try new perfumes once I used up my old ones.
