Winter Empties !

Heey Guys <3

I' haven't done an empties post in a very long time.I will do my empties post from now on every season,because that's just easier.And I would have time to use up some products.

1-Mong Leya lotion 

2-Himalaya Refreshing & Clarifying Toner: I love this toner,because it's alcohol free,paraben free,and for acne prone skin.It's very gentle on the skin and isn't drying. 

I would definitely repurchase this product again 5/5

3-Nivea Soothing Toner: This was an okay toner.But I didn't like it,because it had alcohol and it made my skin feel a little dry. 

I wouldn't repurchase this product again 3/5

4-St.Ives Apricot Scrub: I didn't like this scrub a lot.I bought it because of all the hype that I read about it.But it ended up drying my skin and irritated my acne.So I used it as a body scrub just to use it all up. I also posted an in depth review on this product!

I wouldn't repurchase this product again 3/5

5-Olay Moisturizer: My mom got me this a while ago,and it was another okay product.

I wouldn't repurchase this product again2/5

6-The Face Shop Blemish Zero Toner: I'm so glad I didn't but the full size,because it wasn't anything special.But I liked that it was 3 free.The full size of this toner is like $30.

I wouldn't repurchase this product again 3/5

7-Clean & Clear advantage gel: I love love this product,but sadly it's not sold in Saudi.This is my 4th or 5th tube <3

I would repurchase this product again 5/5

8-Himalaya Herbals Neem Face Wash: I would repurchase this product again 5/5 .I actually already repurchased this if full size.You should also check out my in depth review on this cleanser 

9-The Face Shop Hand cream : I love this hand cream its so cute.

I would repurchase this product again 5/5

10-L'oreal elvive total repair conditioner

Review:[Himalaya Herbals] Purifying Neem Face Wash ♡

Heeey♡♥♡♥
I decided to review a product I bought a couple months ago,but I was of course I was too lazy to do so! °-°  The Product I'm reviewing today is one of my HG!

First, have any of you heard of the brand Himalaya Herbals ?

I personally have never heard about it or seen it, ,until I moved to Saudi. I have seen them in every drug store and my aunt and cousin uses their products, and my aunt always raves about how much she likes them. It's an Indian brand they sell skin care, body care, and health care.And it apparently one of the best selling drugstore brands in India!They are famous for using natural ingredients .

Description:

This soap-free, mild, all-natural cleanser leaves your skin feeling fresh and rejuvenated. It has Neem and Turmeric, herbs we know and love for their purifying, detoxifying and cleansing properties. Neem, with its antibacterial action fights those nasty pimples and prevents their recurrence. Turmeric is fantastic for wiping out bacteria that causes acne. This dual-combo is great protection against problem skin. It helps clear skin and prevents pimples. [Source]



Ingredients:

Neem, Turmeric, Fuller's Earth, Sodium Methyl Paraben IP, Sodium Prophyl Paraben IP, Imidazolidinyl Urea, DMDM Hydantoin. [Source]



Directions:

Squeeze an adequate amount of this face wash onto your palm. Apply it on your wet face, Rinse off.

Packaging & Consistency:

My Thoughts:
Ever since my Aunt recommend this brand to me .I have been wanting to try the purifying neem face wash ever since then. BUT I didn't want to buy it because I might not like it, and when I was in dubai I found a travel size 50ml. And I love this cleanser for many reasons, but most importantly because I have seen changes in my skin♡.

Pros
♧Soap free
♧Purifying herbs (Neem & Turmeric)
♧Comes in 4 sizes (50,100,150,and 200ml)
♧Comes in 2 different packaging a squeezable tube & with a pump
♧Isn't over drying
♧Reduced my pimples
♧Hypoallergenic
♧Lasts a long time (50ml lasted me 3 months!)

Cons

♧The ingredients list is written in Arabic only (I can read it,but for non-arabic speakers it's a con)


Packaging:☆☆☆☆☆
Product's performance:☆☆☆☆☆
Overall Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆

Would I repurchase? 

Yessss!

Review:[THE FACE SHOP]Mung Beans Foam Cleanser

Hello♡
I'll be doing a quick review on another cleanser from the face shop today,and unlike the " Clean face acne solution" cleanser I liked this one~! 

Description & How To Use:

Credit: http://ow.ly/ooraV

The tube has a flip cap

The Back

Ingredients:

My Thoughts:
I bought this cleanser,because on TFS website it said that this was for "trouble" skin types! It didn't do much for my acne,but it has reduced the blackheads on my nose a lot.I like using this with my foaming net,because it uses less product and makes it all foamy and soft! I have been using this cleanser for over 3 months day and night and I still didn't finish it!

Pros

♡Reduces the appearance of blackheads

♡Last a long time (when using a foaming net)

♡Affordable! costs 35SR($9.33) for 170 ml

Cons

♡Hard to find 

♡not the best scent (I don't really mind it though)

Rating:♡♡♡♡

Would I repurchase this product?

Yes

I will be going to Dubai tomorrow so I wont be posting for awhile! If I have time today or tomorrow I'll try to write some posts to post while I'm on vacation.

Review:[SKINFOOD] Black Sugar Scrub Foam

Hey!

So it's 6am and I couldn't fall asleep so I decided to do a review!Today I'll be reviewing Skinfood's Black Sugar Scrub Foam~!

I bought this when I went to a trip to Dubai,UAE with my family I think it was about 75AED($20) for 160g. I also wanted to get the cleansing oil from the same line,but they were sold out! The branch I went to only had a couple of products ! Most of the stuff were sold out :'( </3

Claims & How To Use:

If you cant see because the pic is blurry you can click HERE!

Ingredients:

My Thoughts:
I've heard/read lots of positive reviews about this product so I decided to try it out! It's a cleanser/scrub most people use it as a cleanser,but I use it as a scrub! What I liked about this product is that it gently exfoliates my face with the tiny sugar particles that makes your face feel like a baby's butt afterwords! (Who doesn't want soft skin?)If I wore make up on a certain day I would 1st remove my make up with my Bioderma then use this cleanser/scrub to make sure to get rid of all the dirt and deep cleanse my skin.I also like the scent it has a lemon-y scent,but isn't strong which I really like.Oh and don't let the "foam" part in the products name fool you,because it isn't foamy like a foam cleanser but you can see some bubbles.

It has a brownish beige kind of color with small sugar particles

After I added some water

I zoomed in so you can see the tiny bubbles

Pros:

♥Love the tube! It isn't stiff which makes getting all the product out possible

♥Makes you skin soft afterwords

♥Leaves your face feeling fresh and clean!

♥2in1 can be used as a Cleanser & a Scrub

♥Lemon-y scent

Cons:

♥None

Rating:5/5

Would i repurchase this product?

♥ Absolutely ♥

Have you tried any skinfood products before?

Hope you enjoyed reading my review! Good Night!

Review:[THE FACE SHOP] Clean Face Acne Solution Foam Cleansing

Hello my lovely readers ♥ 

Today I'll be reviewing The Face Shop's Acne Solution Foam Cleansing (Yes its written on the packaging "Cleansing" instead of "Cleanser") from the CLEAN FACE line.I have tried a sheet mask from this line and loved it!

Claims : 

Directions & Ingredients : 

My Thoughts:
I bought this cleanser about 4-6 months ago from The Face Shop store at Othaim Mall and I paid 50SR($13) for 150ml.I was walking in the mall when I suddenly saw a HUGE Kim Hyun Joong poster!!! <3 So of course crazy me rushed into the store ,and started putting whatever I Saw in my basket like they were free stuff! But unfortunately I only bought 1/4 of the stuff..and left the store with about $50 worth of products!! 
Anyways what were my thoughts about this product? I have used this product for the past couple of months on and off.It has a thick opaque white color as you can see in the pic below.

when you rub it between your hands it lathers up,but I prefer to use it with my foaming net.With the foaming net I get this soft foam that feels gentle on my skin,and its fun!Since this was my first cleanser from TFS I really wanted to like it,but unfortunately I didn't!!! 

The first time I used it I wasn't sure if I broke out,because of the cleaner or because it was almost that time of the month.So I used it for a month then changed my cleanser and my skin cleared.The Second time I used it I was also unsure,because I started using a new toner and emulsion from skinfood.So again I used it for about a month then switched the cleanser.The third time I realized it was the cleanser that broke me out!! I had about 1/3 of it left TT.TT and I didn't want my money to go to waste so I used it till I finally finished the tube.What I did though was mix it with my Tea Tree Cleanser from The Body Shop,and the result was I still broke out but it was waaaaaaaaay less severe so that's much better!

Pros:

♥ Nice packaging

♥ Super foamy when used with my foaming net

♥ A little goes a long way

Cons:

♥ Broke me out like crazy

♥Has a citrus-y smell

♥ Made my skin feel tight after cleansing

Rating:0/5  (-.-")

Would I repurchase this product?

Never ever again! I hated it!!!

Have you tried this cleanser before ?did it also break you out?

Also I'm debating whether to buy Etude House's Baking powder deep pore cleanser or Laneige's multi cleanser? I have heard good things about both,but i can't seem to  decide which to get!

But I won't buy any new cleanser unless I finish using all the cleansers I have which are: 

♥ (2) Collagen by Watson's Moisturizing and Brighting foam cleanser.

♥ Neutrogena deep clean foam cleanser.

♥Limi rose sonnet whitening gel cleanser.

♥The Face Shop Herb day 365 mung beans cleanser.

You can see those cleansers except for the face shop one in my China Haul!

Have you tried any of the cleansers mentioned in the list?

Have a good day~!

This cleanser come in 2 sizes a 60ml(2 fl oz)which is for $4 and a 250ml(8.4 fl oz)for $11.50 bottles.I would recommend getting the travel size before actually purchasing the full bottle.

Product Description:(from thebodyshop.com)

This daily-use facial wash for blemished skin gives clearer-looking skin when used as part of a regular regime.

• Removes excess oil without over-drying skin
• Helps remove impurities
• Gentle enough for daily use

My Thoughts:
I have been using this product for 2 weeks now,and I LOVE IT! I can definitely see a difference in my skin.It has calmed & cleared my skin and got rid of most of my breakouts.I use this cleanser in the morning and evening.The cleanser has a liquid-y run-y consistency and has fragrance a herbal scent.Also i found it to be drying even though I have a combination skin more towards the oily side.

Pros:

• Cleared my skin from breakouts
• A little goes a long way (I have been using the travel size for 2 weeks twice a day,and I only used half of the bottle)

Cons:

• Makes my skin very DRY(wouldn't recommend this for dry skin)
• Has a some what strong smell(wouldn't recommend this for sensitive skin)

Would I repurchase this product again?

Yes,but I would need to buy a really moisturizing cream with it!

Have you tried this product ? did it make your skin dry? 

Have a nice day
~XOXO,Refan
