Used-up and tested #10 – beauty products leaving my collection

september 2019 beauty empties

These are all products that are either from brands that I don’t think are interesting enough to talk about or products that are not that interesting such as basic bath and body care stuff and small samples I used up. Let’s get started because I gathered quite a few products.

Nivea Care & Orange shower cream

This is actually one of my husband’s favorites but I also use it now and then. It has orange blossom perfume and bamboo milk in it, so it has a citrusy-sweet scent and a very creamy texture. It’s energizing and hydrating at the same time, perfect for a shower in the morning.

Fa Island Vibes shower gels

I had two shower gels from this summer collection, the Bali Kiss one with mango and vanilla and the Fiji Dream one with watermelon and ylang ylang. They were both nice, had nice scents and I enjoyed using them.

Cien Tropical Summer shaving gel

This one wasn’t that great to be honest because I felt it didn’t soften the skin enough to have a smooth shave. I wouldn’t use it again.

Dove Go Fresh roll-on deodorant

I’m pretty sure I had other deodorants of this type in my used up & tested posts, just that this one is with pear and aloe vera scent. It was ok, but nothing out of the ordinary.

Avon Planet Spa Radiant Gold hand cream

This was very hand to carry in my bag because it was a small tube but I wasn’t a fan of the scent. It claims to contain gold and oud, so I think the oud scent was just a little too strong for my liking. Other than that, it was a decent hand cream and it did the job it was supposed to do.

Perfume samples

I also tested out a couple of perfumes lately:

  • Miss Dior EDT – I quite liked this perfume because it smelled like a classic, elegant perfume with just a hint of spice added into it, so I would wear it both at the office and on a date night. In fact, it’s one of the perfumes I would like to buy sometimes.
  • Acqua di Gioia by Giorgio Armani EDP – I know this one is a classic when it comes to fresh scents, but to be honest I found it to be nothing special. It’s just a forgettable scent for me.
  • Sauvage by Dior EDP – this is a men’s perfume that smelled nice, but again nothing that impressed me. My husband also thought was nice but it didn’t made him want to buy an entire bottle of it.

Dior skin care and foundation samples

Dior Backstage Face & Body Foundation – I don’t want to like these high end foundations but I do. This is another Dior foundation that I really liked because it didn’t oxidize on me, it has nice coverage and great lasting power. i would definitely like to use it on regular basis.

Dior Capture Totale Dream Skin Advanced face cream – if the foundation was a hit, the face cream was just so-and-so. It felt like a nice face cream but definitely not something I would be willing to pay such a big price tag.

Dior Capture Totale Dream Skin 1 Minute Mask – this made my skin feel soft and smooth and it had a certain radiance so I liked it but again, I wouldn’t invest so much money into just one face mask.

Dior Capture Youth Age Delay Progressive Peeling face cream – this is a gentle peeling cream and I think I should have used it more than once to form a real opinion on it, so I won’t say much about it. I liked how it felt on the skin, but this is as far as I would go with my opinion on it.

Tony Moly samples

  • Tony Moly Panda’s Dream hand cream – this hand cream is supposed to have a whitening effect, but I couldn’t notice it just after one use. To be honest, the packaging seems very cute, but the hand cream was just that: a regular hand cream.
  • Tony Moly Cat’s Purrfect Night Mask – I’m sad to say I didn’t notice anything special in the morning after using this night mask and it didn’t spark my interest to try it out some more.

Pheew, that took some time to go through it all, but after 2 month there’s no wonder I gathered some beauty products empties. That’s it for now, I’ll be doing these whenever I have a nice amount of products to do some short reviews.
