#32 Products That I've Finished in 2019 (so far) Part I
I must admit, writing emptied post is 10 times fun than individual product review. It's like a 10-in-1 kinda post - like a summary on the products which I enjoyed or the other way round.
My mum was begging me to get rid of the "rubbish" which I've been collecting, so here we are - the products that I've finished in year 2019 (so far).
What you can expect from this post:
If you are planning to purchase one of these products below, I hope this will be informative and helpful. :)
Let's start with makeup removers.
(from left to right)
Strength(s) : Makeup remover and face cleanser 2-in-1 product, not oily on face, won't strip moisture from your skin.
Weakness(es) : In terms of face cleansing, it might be too gentle.
Final rating : 4.5 / 5
Repurchase/Comment? Yes, I've repurchased! I find this 2-in-1 cleanser super convenient. So far I haven't found a product like such, so I'm going to stick with it for now.
(click here for full product review)
Strength(s) : Various sizes of pimple patch that you can pick from, absorbs impurities and oil.
Weakness(es) : Quite visible because of its yellowish color.
Final rating : 2 / 5
Repurchase/Comment? Less likely. I would prefer pimple patches that are less visible to wear during daytime.
Moving on to lip balms.
(from left to right)
Strength(s) : Creates a nice layer of waterproof protection on top on the lips.
Weakness(es) : Require to reapply often to keep the lips moist.
Final rating : 3 / 5
Repurchase/Comment? Probably. A decent lip care product, but nothing too special about it.
Strength(s) : Super moisturizing formula that melts once on the lips.
Weakness(es) : Can used up very fast.
Final rating : 4.5 / 5
Repurchase/Comment? Highly possible. The most mind-blowing lip balm I have ever used (so far).
Coming up next, makeup products which I've emptied.
(from left to right)
Strength(s) : Light-weighted formula that dries to velvet finish, not sticky, good makeup base.
Weakness(es) : Damask rose can be a bit overpowering (either you like it, or hate it).
Final rating : 4.5 / 5
Repurchase/Comment? Highly possible. I really enjoy its velvet-finish that does leave the skin oily or sticky.
Strength(s) : Makeup can lasts longer, even under hot and humid weather.
Weakness(es) : -
Final rating : 4.5 / 5
Repurchase/Comment? Yes, I've repurchased and using the second bottle now. The fact I didn't rate it full-star is because I haven't given other brands a try. So far this setting spray does me good.
Strength(s) : Liquid face highlighter that blends into base makeup easily, suitable for makeup beginner.
Weakness(es) : More of the shimmery than glow.
Final rating : 4 / 5
Repurchase/Comment? Probably. Loving the liquid-creamy texture that blends so easily by just using fingers. The pink beam is really dreamy - love it. The fact that I finished the product within 6 months is truly rare for my case.
(from left to right)
Strength(s) : Instant dry shampoo perfect for on-the-go.
Weakness(es) : The drying effect is only temporary, still cannot compared to the real shampoo.
Final rating : 4.5 / 5
Repurchase/Comment? Yes. The fact that it's perfect when you're in a rush, I'm definitely getting this product in full-size. At least it can last for a few hours. Spray more if needed.
Strength(s) : Cute packaging.
Weakness(es) : Rather weak nail polish removing power.
Final rating : 2 / 5
Repurchase/Comment? No. So-so product. Nothing special about it.
Strength(s) : Cute packaging, sweet flowery scent, hand cream and perfume 2-in-1 product.
Weakness(es) : -
Final rating : 3 / 5
Repurchase/Comment? Less likely. An average hand cream product, but still worth the try. (probably they are not selling this version anymore because newer products are being introduced)
(from top to bottom, left to right)
Strength(s) : Save 1/2 of your toner usage, gentle on the skin, can use for spot masking.
Weakness(es) : -
Final rating : 5 / 5
Repurchase/Comment? Absolutely and I'm going to stick to this sponge puff for a while! I've mentioned this product a couple times now on my blog. Yes, it's really a bomb! Save toner usage. Must try!
Strength(s) : Durable and gentle on the skin, good for removing eye makeup.
Weakness(es) : On the pricer end compared to other brands out there.
Final rating : 4 / 5
Repurchase/Comment? Highly possible. It's quality is definitely above average, and I find it handy especially for removing eye makeup (mascara and eyeliner) because its more durable.
Strength(s) : Embossed pattern for better grip.
Weakness(es) : The cotton pads will rip-off by itself if I pat for longer time.
Final rating : 2.5 / 5
Repurchase/Comment? No. Just an average cotton pad for me.
