Finally finish my examination, seriously hope it's going to be ok....Since I've had hard time last year, checking exam's result is the most nerve-racking thing to do.... *and I have to do it ... errgggg ~~*
Oh well, since I finally got out from the cycle of intense revision and exams... it's finally summer break and I definitely doing my blog justice this holiday.
I'm just going with a post on Empties or finished product and those related...
I've been putting these in an empty Eason bag and can't wait to throw it after I post this up.
I meant to post this earlier but just to find the time to take pictures of empty bottles... lol.. then again actually it doesn't take that much time. So here is it.

| Origins A Perfect World Cleanser, Nivea Firming Body Lotion, Avene Thermal Spring Water, Origins A Perfect World treatment lotion |
Origins A Perfect World Anti-oxidant Cleanser
This would be a new convert since I've been using Neutrogena gel cleanser for a very long time and my first premium face cleanser *quite expensive*. I thought I pick this up to add on to my Origins A Perfect skincare regimen and my I couldn't find the Neutrogena Cleanser I want. My housemate has used the Origins Checks and Balances and she seems to like it, so I'm convinced it's a good cleanser. So yes, it is actually a decent cleanser that lather up into a white foam. However I was influenced by a few beauty blogger/vlogger ( Chelsea and Caroline) about how foaming cleanser is not so good for your skin (quite drying) and soon a fter that I started to feel that the cleanser make me feel dry, hahaa! Although I would said it's not so drying compare to other foaming cleanser, so after finishing this I would again venture to good gel cleanser, not going to repurchase this.
Nivea Firming Body Lotion
Okay, I'm not big on body lotion even body care in general. I know's important but there aren't a lot going on compare to my face. But then I always believe it's important to have a decent body lotion. So I got this just because it's cheap *not thaattt cheap* and Nivea is good brand and I have used them before. This lotion is okay, nothing really interesting and has that typical Nivea smell *if you use Nivea, you would know* of body lotion *chemical milky kind of refreshing smell*. It has Q10, very common in firming & anti-ageing stuff. But overall I'm not so crazy to want to repurchase this and there's a lot of free body lotion I have to get through first.
Avene Thermal Spring Water
This is one of those things you feel unnecessary that you just chuck it away a drawer but then at crucial times it just become handy to have. This is the only facial spray I had tried and like I say just now, it's unnecessary but it's convenient to have *that's why I bought the small bottle*. I use this if I have to freshen up which is very rare and.... *krik krik* Then if I'm too lazy or late that I would not spend a mere 30 seconds to apply my regular toner with cotton pad, I just spray this ... voila! Oh and sometimes I would use this instead of my toner if I was doing any exfoliating/mask treatment just because I thought I would lessen the skincare ingredient on my face, you know when you feel you would overload my face with many treatment at once, and this literally don't have much ingredient *I think it's only spring water*. Other than that it's cheap and I definitely will repurchase it, this time in bigger bottle.
Origins A Perfect World Treatment Lotion
This would be my regular toner and I don't think I have any plan to stray away from this. From all the toners I tried this is the best I've tried, it's moisturizing, smell's good and it makes my cream went on better. I believe my skin works better with my Origins serum and cream since I started use this, more obvious changes. But I just had to say it, it's quite expensive *standard for a premium skincare*, but I'm willing to spend an extra money on this. Well, I know there's more expensive toner out there.

| Clinique High Impact Mascara, Collection 2000 Longer Lash, 17 Clear Definition |
Clinique High Impact Mascara in Black
I just love this mascara and this is just a sample tube. I thought I don't want to include samples in this post but this was happen to be there and I have to admit it's a generous sample tube. I did a first impression post on this *which I usually do for free sample* and do check it out. Not going to bable a lot on this since it might be just repeating stuff so do check out the post.
Collection 2000 Longer Lash in Black
Another tube of mascara and this is so far lame compare to the Clinique High Impact. But good news is, it's cheap as dirt. It was less than five or four quids I think. The only reason I bought this is because I want to have extra mascara if I'm doing makeup on other people and I had purchase the disposables mascara wands. wooooooo *makeup artist wannabe! LOL* So it's says waterproof and longer lash, I thought, oh what could go wrong and just got it. I was not impressed at all, and it was dried and almost solidified and when I put it on, it was still okay and decent but it does leave like black 'crumbs' *bare me with my explanation* on my lower lid. Messy. Not sure if it's just my bad luck getting dried one or what but I definitely not going to repurchase it.
17 Clear Definition
So another venture into trying something cheaper, clear mascara/browgel. Previously, I used the Bodyshop because I couldn't find any clear mascara/brow gel in the pharmacies back in Malaysia and premium makeup was quite expensive for me. Looking through the reviews online a lot says that it's overpriced for what it is and I started to agree thus I try this. Again, another failure! Cheap as dirt. It was so watery and don't think it really tame my brows, I might as well just use water.

| Silkygirl Long-Wearing Lipliner in Nude, MAC Penultimate Eye Liner in Rapidblack, Nivea Lip Care Repair & Protect |
This was the first lipliner I tried and I really enjoyed using it. It's just a pink nude which just brightens my lip a bit. Quite creamy... but still drying. In the old days when I just started using makeup, this was fine and I enjoy the matte look that it gives me. Since I'm into high end stuff now and I have a lot lipliners and I have more demand of what I'm looking for in a lip product, I'm not going to repurchase this.
MAC Penultimate Eye Liner in Rapidblack
I got this as part the Packed to Go 3 Black Eyeliner, genuinely for the price which save you more than just buying it separately. First of all this is my first felt tip eyeliner and I'm not really into it because I just afraid it dry easily. Fromm what I read on the internet, most people didn't like it, not bold and as pigmented as it expected to be,which I agree. Although from the use of this I do acknowledge the ease of using a felt tip, that after I got rid of this and goes back to my gel liner, I had some difficulty since I'm so used to the felt tip. Despite the lack of of pigment, I still feel does last well and set well as well. I definitely not gonna get this one anymore, if I'm thinking of getting a felt tip probably I will try another brand. Although I want to finish my gel liner first. *I'm not really an avid black liner wearer to be honest, but maybe I will do more this summer*
Nivea Lip Care Repair & Protect
This has been my go to lipbalm, it just simple standard lipbalm, nothing too fancy. Although I believe this one is more superior to other Nivea lip balm or even most lip balm I ever tried. It got SPF and repair feature which is really my kind of lipbalm. Since I started using Elizabeth Arden Hour Cream I had changed this into my day lipbalm. The only thing was that I prefer it's in a pot instead of a tube, because I like to use my finger to dab lipbalm instead of just put it on straight *when I'm on a go*. This is mostly because I don't want to ruin my lipstick and I' just lazy to redo my lips, especially when I'm wearing bold lipstick.
