Beauty Empties 17.0 | June

Here's another Empties post! Yay! It's such a relief  every time I've emptied my Empty bins as I go through each and every product that I've finished so I can put my final thoughts and decide whether to repurchase or not. I have huge amount of stash for my products and I'll be posting more on them soon as I've previously done under Skincare Routine, Makeup Stash and Body Care Routines. But for now, let's get into this!

This time around, I've finished 3 bottles of first treatment products and the first one would be Innisfree Green Tea Seed Serum. It's a great hydrating serum that I usually applied on my morning skincare routine as it's light yet ample for my skin. the second one that ran out was that THE FACE SHOP The Therapy First Serum although in its original packaging but I've decided to refill it instead with the Limited Edition release in conjunction with last Holiday i.e. Christmas early this year that comes in 200ml size and as for the balance, I've transferred it into my mum's bottle. The reason would be because I'm not fond with that plastic packaging at all.

I've also finished another bottle of LANEIGE Clear C Advanced Effector and I can't deny the fact that I'm still loving the product hence I've already repurchased the third upgraded version. I also had finished another bottle of Son&Park Beauty Water; a great exfoliating toner that deserve to be repurchased. I've gotten this along with its Beauty Gel sister from Althea last year and I've gotten another bottle from Sasa in a box set recently.

I'm happy to finish yet another tub of LANEIGE Water Sleep Mask that I love and of course I just had to repurchase it! I've got the deluxe sample for the Lavender version so I'm excited to try it! As for that facial mist from Innisfree; Jeju Sparkling Mineral Mist, I do have 2 more backups of it so I won't be repurchasing anytime soon.

I'll be honest as when it comes to these Innisfree Olive Real Cleansing Oil and Foam, I didn't actually used them a lot on my face as I rather used them to wash my cushion foundation air puffs (double cleanses as well!) as these two broke me out previously. Nope, I'm sticking to other Innisfree cleansers and won't be repurchasing these again.

I've also finished these two sunscreens Innisfree Daily UV Protection Cream in Mild and No Sebum around the same time and as I've already purchased the new hydrating and anti-pollution sunscreens also from the brand, I won't be repurchasing these anytime soon. But these are actually great if you're looking for simple sunscreens, I'd definitely recommend them.

Lastly, some body care products. I've finished my first tube of  that EUBOS Sensitive Hand Repair and Care and I've already repurchased another tube for it. It's making my dry hands feeling nice and velvety so yes, that deserves another round. I've also finished another bottle of that THE FACE SHOP Soul Secret Blossom Perfume in that Limited Edition Kakao Friends packaging along with its sister Kakao Friends Hand Cream Neo in Berry. I already repurchased the perfume in Holiday packaging early this year as it's a nice scent for everyday wear in the office.

I guess that's all from me! I hope you enjoy reading this post. Do let me know your thoughts on any of these and I'll see you guys on a next one. Annyeong~

Body Care Routine | Hand Creams

A hand cream or two with different scents and functions are staple in my handbag/backpack and definitely something I can't leave house without. I have severely dry hands as I'm too lazy to wear gloves while doing dishes or laundry so I just have to compensate the moisture in my skin by regularly applying hand creams, hand lotions even hand balms; depending on how I feel at that time of the day or night. For today's post under my Beauty Routine series where I'll be giving out my thoughts on line of products that I'm currently using in my body care routines so let's get into it! 

When it comes to hand care, I must have 3 things; hand wash, hand sanitiser and most importantly or most things that I've indulged so much for my hands are moisturisers for my hand. As I only been using Dettol hand wash and sanitiser, the above are some of my favourite hand creams.

I love perfumed hand creams from Korean beauty brands like Innisfree and THE FACE SHOP especially the ones with floral or smells like baby stuffs. These minis; usually sized in small 30ml tubes are regularly being repackaged as a whole and sometimes being released in limited edition scent and of course packaging which can make me go crazy as I want to collect them all!

On days I feel my hands are extra irritated, I usually go with EUBOS Sensitive Hand Repair & Care; now a favourite brand of mine from Germany along with ZOEVA. Some areas on my fingers tend to get dry and flaky especially after I do my laundry or dishes so this actually smooth out the area and I just love its silky velvety finishes.

I bought my first tube of L'Occitane Intensive Hand Balm thanks to @illiyaridzuan and it went to my dad as his hands are super dry too hence I bought another tube for myself. The brand released several hand creams under their Shea Butter line with different intensities i.e. percentage of Shea Butter and this contains 25% of it. I usually apply this before bed as one, it's inconvenient to carry around that huge tube and two, I just love how moisturised my hands feel in the morning.

Do you use hand creams on daily basis? Do let me know your favourites by leaving comments down below.
