|Project Empties|: July 2021

Some months are better than others in terms of my Empties project. I am feeling quite accomplished to see the number of products I managed to finish in the month of July 2021. Its not that I tend to overuse or waste products just so to hit the target. No! I don't. I use them as per requirement and really happy to see the results. Makes me proud to think I am pretty much on track. So here is what I finished in the month of July. 

Empties - July 2021
1. Garnier Skin active hydra bomb tissue mask 

This is probably the third or fourth sheet mask I have used by Garnier. No doubt Garnier is doing pretty well with their face masks. The thing with sheet masks is, one has to use them regularly to maintain desired results and even to achieve desired results. This mask turned out to be good in terms of hydration. 

2. Garnier botanic therapy castor oil and almond shampoo 

I purchased this shampoo under the false impression of it being a conditioner. The language on the bottle is foreign and I couldn't make out whether its a shampoo or conditioner so I just bought it. It turned out to be a shampoo but a good one. It made my hair soft after wash and manageable. 

3. Flormar mixed berries shower gel 

I am a desi soap person. Shower gels are just not my thing. If you are into layering body fragrance then sure shower gels help a great deal with that and also when you want to have a pampering spa session, sure, go ahead with the shower gel. Otherwise I find it a pain to rinse off. I keep getting this soapy, lather like feeling on my body that it hasn't properly washed off my body. Hence I avoid them as much as I can. I bought this one long time back and wanted to be done with it instead of giving it away. It has good fragrance and value for money. 
    
4. Keune care derma exfoliant shampoo 

I bought this shampoo as its specially designed for dandruff prone scalp. I had high expectations out of this shampoo given the price point however it fell flat. Its like any other average shampoo and also dries the hair a lot. One can not skip using a conditioner after this shampoo. 

5. Bionike proxera psomed 3 shampoo 

To say that I am in love with this brand would be an understatement. Its a derma brand designed for dermatologist and skin specialists. This shampoo kept my scalp eczema in control. As long as this shampoo lasted my hands did not reach out to itch my scalp time and again. The only draw back of this shampoo is the price point. But I guess good things come at a higher price point in most cases. 

6. Mana Beauty hair spray 

I have already reviewed this product in detail in a blogpost. You may read the detailed review by clicking here

7. Garnier skin active pure active charcoal face scrub 

This product was received in a PR when it was newly launched. Its a great product honestly. I have used it once or twice a week and really loved the feel of my skin afterwards. It leaves the skin neat, clean, hydrated and fresh. Its a budget buy and I definitely recommend giving it a go. 

8. Derma smooth topical steroid in olive oil 

The name of the product may sound over the top scary as it mentions steroids but its something that I have to opt for my scalp, time to time when my eczema triggers. The itching becomes crazy and the only relief I get is with the use of this oil. Its locally manufactured and a prescription based product. You can buy it over the counter from a pharmacy but doctor diagnosis and prescription is recommended for use. 

9. The Creme shop charcoal face mask 

I liked this sheet mask. Its like any other sheet masks but with obvious, noticeable results. 

10. Loreal Paris Excellence hair conditioner 

This hair conditioner comes in Loreal Paris excellence color range. It has to be one of the best conditioners out there. Every review I have read over the internet about these hair colors rave about this conditioner. Also, everyone used it sparingly like myself so it lasts them some extra uses. Furthermore, every blogger has put in the suggestion of coming up with this product separately and I agree with them. Its by far the best conditioner I have used for color treated hair. It really makes the hair smooth, soft to touch and shiny. 

11. Keune care color brillianz mask 

Well the description says that its specially been formulated for colored hair to prevent color loss and maintain the brilliance of hair. Emmm, okay. I am indifferent to the claim. To me it turned out to be an average product with a high price point. I get the same results from other products at less price too. 

12. Skin deep International Coco rose - coconut oil body polish 

Its basically a body scrub and its ah-mazing. Its my absolute favorite body scrub now. I have finished this tub, already have another in use and have purchased a back up too. So you can imagine how good it must be. I simply adore this product. It blends onto the skin upon rubbing and leaves a slightly greasy yet buffed skin in the end. I highly recommend buying this product. 

13. Conatural rose face gel 

My stance for Conatural has always been the same that its a hit or miss brand with most of their products being a miss and non performers but the brand is doing well since its inception, due to strong connections and good PR. I had heard good reviews about their rose face gel but its just an okay-ish product. The good thing about this gel is that its water based so it gets absorbed into the skin quickly and does not leave a greasy residue. 

14. Loreal nude magique eau de teint 

This foundation by Loreal is officially not available or marketed in Pakistan. However, the international sellers managed to get this product for makeup lovers like us and we raved so much about this product as if its the best nude and matte foundation ever. No doubt its a good matte foundation in terms of drug store brand but I would choose my Essence foundation any day over it. However if you have dry skin with patches, then nude magique is an excellent foundation for sheer to medium coverage with a dewy matte finish since it tends to pop oil after a few hours. 

15. Essence studio nails banana file 

When luck is on your side, you find gold items in dirt cheap price. Same are my feelings for this nail file. I bought it years back and it worked so well for my nails. It lasted me really really long compared to the steel files and other high end brands. 

16. W7 makeup fixer 

I have already reviewed this makeup fixer in detail on my blog. You can read full review of the product by clicking here

So this was the round up of the products I finished in July. Do you spot any products you have used or are using? What are your reviews about them? I would love to hear back from you over my blog, Facebook or Instagram account. Feel free to share your opinions with me on these products. Stay happy and beautiful. xoxo!!!
