BEAUTY EMPTIES 2016 #1

Hi everyone! How have you been? About four months has already passed since New Year. How time flies! And...it's been a while to write new post today!

I think I haven't done an empties/ products I've used up post so far. So this time I would like to share with you about my beauty empties from the past few months.



CERACOLLA MOISTURE FOAM
This is cleansing foam for dry skin. I bought it last November. I was looking for skin care products which contain ceramide 1 〜 3 and found the product. It didn't feel tight after using it. It worked well during winter season.


ACNE BARRIER PROTECT MAKE CLEAR
It's an oil-free based makeup remover for oily skin or people who suffer from acne. It has gel texture and removes my makeup very easily and smoothly. And a tea tree scent relaxes me. I like beauty products related to Tea tree oil. Because tea tree oil treats acne and blackheads. So I repurchased it!

SEKKISUI WHITE WASHING CREAM
You can buy this cleansing foam at corner stores (convenience stores) called Seven Eleven in Japan. I often see many tourist from Asian countries buy it. I don't know why but it seems popular among them.
The cleansing foam makes my skin feel fresh. But I think moisturizing effect of this product is so-so. So I recommend to use this during summer season.

蜂乳クリーム石鹸
This cleansing foam is liquid type and doesn't lather well. But the texture is comfortable for me. This is known as favourite of some members of Takarazuka Revue Company. Because it works as makeup remover. It has a subtle scent like honey and flowers. I like the scent. I think I'll repurchase.

MEDICATED SEKKISEI ENRICHED
I'm a fan of SEKKISEI toner and emulsion. So I was expecting that a series of 'enriched' launches (they were released in October 2015.)
This is hard to say, but...I was a little disappointed. I don't like the texture of it. My skin feels a little sticky. So I mainly used it for body. I also got a emulsion of the same range, but I gave it to my sister because the texture of it was a little heavy and greasy which I dislike.


MEDICATED SEKKISEI
As I said, I prefer SEKKISEI 'standard' toner to 'enriched'. It's the best toner I've ever used. It agrees with my skin. But if I had to say one thing, it's hard for me to continue to use. Because it's a little expensive (around 5000yen. But you can get a 30 percent - a 40 percent discount at some drugstores in Japan. Even though about 3000yen, it's expensive!)


ほまれ化粧水
It's a toner which is blended Japanese Sake with lavender oil. Therefore it has very strong lavender scent. Maybe some like it, but others don't. But I like it. If you want to relax when you do skin care, I recommend it.

THE BODY SHOP TEA TREE PORE MINIMISER
I finally used up! This makeup base is suitable for oily skin. It makes pore look smaller, and makes skin mattify instantly. I mainly applied it around my nose (because I apply other makeup base on my t zone.) So it took a long time to used it up.

MELANO CC TONER AND SERUM
These products are said effective for blemished skin like freckles, pores and so on. But they were not effective for my skin. I guess if I want to obtain the effect, I have to continue to use some bottles.

BEAUTY MAGIC MAKEUP BASE
I used to like CONTROL SERUM by Dejavu. But unfortunately it's a discontinued product now. So I needed another makeup base to replace it! This makeup base works as well as Dejavu product. It makes my t zone stay matte for longer hours. I love it!


ESSENCE SUN CLUB SHIMMER BRONZING POWDER IN 10 SUNKISSED
This is my first Essence Cosmetics product I've used up. The shimmering bronzing powder gives a natural sunkissed tan effect. I've already repurchased it. I'm looking forward to use
it for summer season.

SEKKISEI EMULSION
I really like this emulsion so much! Texture, scent...everything is perfect for me. So I've repurchased this for 4 or 5 times so far.

LUSH CUP O' COFFEE FACE AND BODY MASK
Yes! I'm a coffee addict! This is a coffee based facial mask. Of course it can be used body, too. I applied it on clean face and left 10 or 15 minutes. And then, I scrubed slowly before wash off the mask. Afterwards, my skin felt very softer and a faint fragrance of coffee left on my skin.
I would like to repurchase some time.

AQUALABEL WHITENING JELLY ESSENCE
I used up this jelly textured toner once so far. A few years ago, it was enough for my skin to just use this toner. But now I need more moisture, so I applyed SEKKISEI emulsion after the toner.

ROSETTE GHASSOUL BRIGHT FACE FOAM
I was troubled by rough skin last month. So I decided to try other cleansing foam product. It contains argan oil, rich in vitamin E oil and polyphenols. The product says 'skin's healthy glow' , but my face feels dry after using this... When I bought this yellow, I saw other colours (pink, blue and green) at the same time. So I would like to try other things.

ROSETTE FACE SCRUB
ROSETTE GHASSOUL BRIGHT FACE FOAM came with a free gift. This is it. I didn't get the peeling effect. And I couldn't find any good points about this product. So I won't buy full-sized bottle.



That's all my beauty empties of the past few months! I hope this post was help for you:)
