Nov-Dec Empties

Oops missed out November's empties so bundling them together here.. These monthly empties posts are useful to jot down short reviews when I'm too lazy to write a full post LOL Or if it's a sample cos I'll feel ridiculous writing so much when I've only tried a small sachet.


1. Kanebo Milky Conditioner Trial Size
Already purchased full size ^_^ Review soon.


This too..


And this!


4. Kanebo Blanchir Superior White Luster Trial Size
How could I miss this? Review soon.


5. Maybelline Makeup Remover
This is like my HG makeup remover. Already have extras of this. Stocked up during sales xD Think this needs no introduction but I'll still write a post dedicated to this.

6. O'slee Rosehip Peeling Gel sample
A gentler alternative to facial scrubs, this left my face feeling smoother and cleaner. I do miss the feel of scrubbing exfoliating beads on my skin though =/


7. L’OrĂ©al Paris ELVIVE Total Repair 5 Restoring Masque
So far, this is a good hair mask for normal hair but my hair is so so dry and damaged, it needs more care and this isn't strong enough. Bought other brands to try out but if all else fails, this is my backup plan.


8. Soapy All Natural Handmade Lavender Soap (from Body Bar)
This lil piece of soap contains tiny black beads / whatever that act as exfoliants. There used to be a lavender smell but it wore off after I kept it in my cupboard for a while. Now it just smells of spices or something. It lathers moderately and lasted quite a while for it's small size. Also, it did not melt much in the container, which is great.


9. Loreal Elseve Smooth-Intense Anti-Frizz Serum
Already repurchased. This is a current staple hair product.


10. Clinelle Eye Bright trial size
Defy eye bags, dark circles & wrinkles. Does it work? Nope.. It's just a light moisturizer for the eye area. If you have not much undereye problems and you're prone to getting milia seeds, this is a good choice.


11. Laneige Water Bank Eye Gel sample
Really light eye gel. Won't cause milia but I feel like I need something stronger. Won't purchase.


12. Laneige Water Bank Gel Cream sample
One thing I like about this is that it doesn't make my skin feel greasy. Also, it smells fresh and absorbs fast! I feel like it isn't extremely moisturizing although it does get rid of my flaky skin upon application. Guess it's still a good product for dehydrated+oily skin though.


13. Laneige Water Bank Essence
I don't have much experience with essences but this is not bad, I guess. It actually feels quite similar to the gel cream above (in fact, I wouldn't be able to differentiate all 3). It's moisturizing, alright.. but there isn't that 'doing doing' feel, if you get what I mean =_=


14. Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate sample
So many people were raving about this, I just HAD to get my hands on a sample. Love the soothing lavender smell right before bed. I applied this after moisturizer at night. Only a small amount is needed so for those concerned about the price, I would say it's worth it IF you get results. It leaves my face looking kinda shiny but it's not oily. I don't wake up to a brighter face nor did I feel that it did anything at all. Glad I tried the sample before buying the whole bottle!

On a side note.. I broke my favourite Empro eyebrow pencil whilst trying to force it back in after turning it up too much. No prob though.. I just used my eyelash glue and glued it back lols

  3. lol it's funny how most of the laneige and kiehl's brand products aren't as exciting/doesn't provide that great result even though they're brand names. :P but glad to hear u got the sample for the kiehl's product before getting the whole full size! smart!~
