Used-up and tested #50 – beauty products leaving my collection

July was a damn long month and all I can think about now is that I’m waiting for the vacation. Anyway, let’s see what we have here because 80% of the empties I have this month are from Balea. I started using the brand more again, because the products are cheap and they’re enough for basic body care needs.

Ziaja Intimate Creamy Wash – I made a mistake because I got such a big bottle. This washing cream may be gentle but I can’t say that I felt refreshed when I used it. It was just so-and-so. Plus, after a while a noticed a little bit of itching that went away when I started to use another product.

Balea Exotic Passion shower gel and

Balea Happy Melody shower gel – both are limited editions (like most of their shower gels), both smell yummy, both are vegan and formulated with mostly natural ingredients. Plus, they’re 1 euro each, so of course I love them!

Garnier Skin Naturals Essentials Sensitive micellar water – Garnier has a really great micellar water, it effectively removes makeup and it is good even for those with sensitive skin.

This Works Morning Expert Wake-up Spray – I used it now and then to refresh myself because I kept it in my purse. I wasn’t crazy about the scent, as with all other This Works products.

Oriflame Secret Garden Rose hand cream – the scent was nice, but the cream was a bit lackluster. It could have been more hydrating and I wasn’t a fan of the texture either.

Balea Sheet Mask with algae extract, sea water and hyaluronic acid – a nice sheet mask with a cute design.

Balea Hydrogel Eye Pads – I had another pair used up but I forgot to keep the packaging. They’re all the same, just the color and the shape is different. They all have a cooling effect and reduce puffiness a bit, but I’m aware there are more effective eye pads out there.

Balea Berry Sweet face mask and

Balea Tropical Dream face mask – both are hydrating masks, only the scents are different. One contains berry extract and the other watermelon extract and some other fruit extracts. They are both nice for a little pampering session.

So that’s it for me, now I’ll just say good bye to July and welcome August, let’s get the vacation rolling already!
