|Empties|: August Empties: A Symphony of Scents and Haircare Heroes

Hello, beauty aficionados! August has bid us adieu, and as I reflect on the month's beauty journey, I'm excited to share the treasures I've emptied. From haircare staples to skincare delights, let's explore the products that have graced my routine.

Selsun blue, Loreal elvive, TVAL by BBA, The body shop, Framesi, J. perfume

August Empties

1. Selsun Blue Anti Dandruff Moisturizing Shampoo

Affordable Elegance for Scalp Bliss. Selsun Blue, my trusty sidekick in the battle against seborrheic dermatitis, has once again proven its worth. Affordable, effective, and consistently reliable, it's a gem in my haircare arsenal.

2. Beautify by Amna TVAL Hair Serum

While this serum may not have blown me away, my husband swears by it. Despite its slightly heavy texture, he emptied the entire bottle, attesting to its ability to keep his locks in check.

3. Charm Natural Lavender Cleansing Oil

Lavender Love in a Bottle. My introduction to double cleansing was a game-changer, thanks to Charm Natural's Lavender Cleansing Oil. This divine elixir effortlessly dissolved makeup and impurities, leaving my skin feeling pampered and refreshed. A must-have in the skincare lineup! It not only cleaned my skin but also helped me get rid of the break outs I was having from time to time due to lack of oil in my skin.

4. Loreal Elvive Dream Long Straight 72H Hair Shampoo

Frizz-Free Dreams in a Bottle. Loreal's Dream Long Shampoo has been a gentle giant in my haircare routine. Its subtle touch and frizz-taming abilities have made it a household favorite, embraced by both me and my husband. A dynamic duo with its conditioner!

5. The Body Shop Vitamin C Daily Glow Cleansing Polish

This Body Shop gem, a relic from a time when sales were irresistible, has brought radiance to my cleansing routine. The Vitamin C Daily Glow Cleansing Polish is a stellar exfoliator, leaving my skin refreshed and revitalized.

6. Framcolor Bold in Cobalt Blue

After a hiatus during pregnancy and babyhood, the vibrant hues of Framcolor Bold are back in my life. Cobalt Blue, an old addition, has refreshed my locks post-breastfeeding, bringing back the edgy flair I adore. Sadly, we are living in times where inflation is all time high, attributing to the raised prices of imported hair dyes. This tube, when I purchased it was around Rs. 625. Now, this tube is available between Rs. 2300 to 2600, making me re-think my fashion choices.

7. Almirah Walk-In Closet Perfume in Everlasting

Musky Memories. An olfactory journey through time, this perfume has been a constant for over five years. Unfortunately, it's no longer available, making its musky fragrance even more precious. A walk down memory lane with every spritz, it truly lives up to its name—Everlasting.

As these bottles and tubes find their way into the empties bin, I'm eagerly anticipating the beauty adventures September has in store. Until then, may your skincare be radiant, and your haircare be bold! Stay healthy and beautiful. xoxo!!!

|Empties|: August 2022

I am happy to report my progress for the month of August. I feel I did a good job with emptying quite a few products. So here is what I finished off.

August 2022 empties

1. Tony Moly Master Lab Intensive Damage Care Snail mucin sheet mask

I don't notice stark differences in sheet masks. For me, they are a source of hydration and moisturizing my face. However, this Tony Moly sheet mask was exceptionally good. I could literally feel the collagen plumping my skin and the after glow was noticeable.

2. Go-To skincare exfoliating swipeys

These are exfoliating pads cum chemical peel swabs which came in my boxycharm premium box. I have already reviewed them. You can read my detailed review here.

3. Art Deco mineral powder

I have been meaning to do a full fledge review on this product when I started using this product. Then I got distracted and busy and kept putting it off that I shall take pictures one day and then review the powder. Then the brand shut down in Pakistan and I felt what's the point? Anyhow, there was a time when I considered this powder to be an amazing for setting makeup but as I progressed in my makeup exposure, I realized, no, its quite an average product. Despite being average, it was for Rs. 1800 years back. It fails to keep the makeup matte. I can do without this powder and my face will end up looking dewy and oily just like it does when this powder is applied to my face. I will not suggest anyone opting for this powder. Glad I am done with it.

4. Pigeon Breast Pads

Man, this product needs a separate review post, which I am going to do in this month Inshallah. Finding the right breast pads for myself has been a journey. There is so little awareness around maternity products and breastfeeding, its a literal struggle. These are the best breast pads right now in the market that come in the most affordable price tag. I am on my box 2 now and I swear by these. Never have I had a visible leak with these on.

5. Tresemme sulphate free shampoo

I am not a Tresemme fan. Infact I blame the brand for my early greys. I reviewed one of their shampoos almost a decade back which I doubted was greying my hair. When I googled, turned out, I wasn't wrong. Still I purchased this shampoo as it was sulphate free and I had gotten keratin done so this was an affordable sulphate free shampoo. Other than that, its a pretty average off the shelf daily shampoo.

6. Gilette Pro sensitive skin shaving foam

My go to product for shaving in the shower.

Empties - August 2022

7. Essence Keep it perfect Makeup Setting spray

My worst experience for setting sprays has been with Essence. Their setting sprays are only water which do nothing to set the makeup or keep the makeup intact. The spritz are poor which throw blotches of uneven spray on the face. Never am I ever going to spend my money on Essence setting sprays.

8. Selsun Blue moisturizing dandruff free shampoo

Since my regular readers know I suffer from sebhorric dermatitis, I have to manage my scalp. Selsun has been a gentle product that helps me manage my dandruff without denting my pocket.

9. Elemis superfood facial wash

Another product I received in my Boxycharm box. Its a gentle face cleanser that had minimum lather but provided excellent cleansing.

10. Khaadi amethyst adore eau de parfum

I am all about supporting local but local brands need to put thought into products and make sure they are of good quality. This perfume is a mistake! I wasted my bucks on this perfume. It had such poor lasting power that I could not smell my own perfume and there was no silage of it either. The lasting power at max was 2 hours for myself.

11. Athena cotton wool cosmetic pads

Micellar water and cotton pads are my best friends. I have plenty of days where I don't feel like cleansing my face. Those days, I use micellar water and cotton pads to swipe clean my face off makeup.
