Hello everybody,
This is the first empties of the new year 2015 and it is part 1 series for the month of January as I have quite a lot of stuff that I had used up. Lets get into it straight away....!!!
1. Thayers: Rose Petal Witch Hazel with Aloe Vera formula ( 355ml/12 fl oz) is a Toner which is made from Organic Witch Hazel extract, Rose Petal water and Organic Aloe Vera.
It is Paraben Free, Pthalate Free, Alcohol Free which is great. The Un-Distilled Witch Hazel is with beneficial natural tannins which helps tighten pores, to smooth and beautify skin without drying. Also moisturizes and cleanses.
- Yes I will repurchase and will be trying other toners from this brand/line as they are very budget friendly.
2. Michael Todd True Organics: Organic Lemon AHA + DMAE Toner (230ml/ 7.8 fl oz) Naturally antimicrobial organic citrus toner from lemons, oranges and cranberries reduces oiliness and noticeably improves complexion by lightening dark spots, promoting clearer skin and tightening pores.
Infused with AHA and DMAE to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. NO alcohol to sting or dry. And it didn't irritate my skin at all. Normal to oily and problem skin
- Already repurchase.
3. Fruit of the Earth Block Up! 50 (177 ml / 6 fl oz) is a sports sunscreen with a broad spectrum SPF 50. With Aloe Vera, anti-oxident vitamins C and E. It is sweat & water resistant (80 minutes) with a spray nozzle and its suitable for face and body.
- A Definite NO! Will not repurchase... just use 1 and only time and it is still very full but decided to throw it away because it is really way too oily and it does not feel good and only makes my skin very greasy.
4. Bath and Body Works Dark Kiss fine fragrance mist ( 236 ml/ 8 fl oz.) A nice and seductive blend of dark berries with a kiss of vanilla to unleash your most primal passions.
- Top Notes: Bergamot, Incense, Mirabelle Plum, Black Raspberry
- Mid Notes: Amber, Burgundy Rose, Geranium, Peony
- Dry Notes: Dark Vanilla Bean, Labdanum, Vetiver, Sensual Balsam, Musks
- I'll repurchase.. But not that soon and maybe not the same scent.. love most of bath and body works fragrance and I still got more to finish before I will buy any others. The only thing is that fragrance mist does not last long on my skin.
5. Bath and Body works Candle in Winter Candy Apple ( Limited Edition14.5 oz. / 411 g - Large 3 wick candle) A sweet yuletide treat of candied apples and spiced orange zest, with a touch of winter musk. The scent is sweet but not over powering, a pretty nice balance.
- Will always buy candles from them, love that they have a great selection of scents and those seasonal selection.
6. Yves Rocher: Ovale Lifting day cream (15ml / 0.5 fl oz sample) They claims that it will "restore volume and firmness to your skin with this day care enriched in sandthorn actives extracts.
- Restores skin’s texture- Lifts visibly pronounced wrinkles
- Raises features to redefine facial contours
Its sumptuous texture envelops skin in an instant tightening mesh.
The result: skin regains support and elasticity, your face and neck are restructured."
- Nope will not repurchase. Never notice anything because I find that it is a bit greasy for my skin and I much prefer using lighter products in the day.
7. Hada Labo Arbutin Whitening Lotion (9ml sample) According to Hada Labo, Arbutin Whitening Lotion is so well loved by Japanese women that it is the "No.1 Whitening Lotion in Japan". It has a simple tagline: One Drop Reveals Natural Fairness.

Vitamin C helps reduce the appearance of dark spots to reveal clearer and fairer skin.
Hyaluronic Acid hydrates skin intensely, leaving it feel soft and supple.
It is free of fragrances, mineral oil, alcohol and colorant. Skin pH balanced. Low irritation.
- Love this brand/line of products as they are budget friendly 'drugstore products' in Asia that works! Yes will buy if only I haven't got so much things to test out.

Here is a link to their website : http://www.thann.info to check out if there is a store in your country or where you are staying. If you are going Bangkok, Thailand you could check out their store at :
THANN
Central World, 2nd floor
which I had visited. For singaporeans I believe there is a store located at ION in orchard (If I can remember correctly.)
- All 3 products got that nice clean and fresh scent I like it but won't be repurchasing any as I have other products that I like better.
10. Yves Rocher Ovale Lifting Contour Lift Eye Care (got quite a few packs of samples) They claim that it "erase wrinkles, fine lines and crow´s feet with this immediate 1 minute eye lift!
- Visibly lifts eyelids- Decongests and reduces dark circles and bags.
Treats the fragile eye contour area with comfort and precision, as its releases an instant lifting formula.
The result: your eyes are more open. Redefined, they appear younger."
- Don't notice any difference but it is a nice rich eye cream, won't be repurchasing as I prefer others in my stash.
Yves Rocher Anti Age Global Complete Anti-aging Eye Care (got quite a few packs of samples)The skin around the eyes is fragile and requires special attention! They claim that "this Complete Anti-aging Eye Care is acts globally for maximum results.
This anti-aging product eyes is targeted to women over 40 for a daily use. It can be used as a cure for women in their thirties.- Wrinkles and fine lines around the eye contour are quickly smoothed,
- Under eye bags seems delfated,
- Dark circles are visibly faded.
Beauty results: Day after day, eyes appear visibly younger!"
- Don't notice any difference but it is a nice rich eye cream, won't be repurchasing as I prefer others in my stash.
Yves Rocher Anti Age Global Complete Anti-aging Night Care (got quite a few packs of samples) They claim that "This anti-aging night skincare is targeted to women over 40 for a daily use. It can be used as a cure for women in their thirties.
- Skin is repaired and nourished by hydration for significant results when you awake,- Skin appears restructured*,
- Visibly firmer skin, radiant with beauty.
Beauty results: Night after night, skin appears visibly younger!"
- Don't notice any difference, won't be repurchasing as I still prefer others. Not a bad product but it is just preference especially when it comes to facial creams because I'm quite picky and due to the climate here in Singapore most of us don't light creams that are too heavy.
10. Laura Mercier Smooth Finish Flawless Fluide in vanille (2.0 ml/ 0.07 fl oz sample) Not a bad foundation but I have mixed feelings on this product... Can't decide whether I love it a not... It is a light weight, watery, buildable medium to full coverage foundation.
- Too many foundation in my stash, won't be purchasing and its not really on my top list yet because I really can't decide anything on this foundation yet. Heard from other bloggers & utubers that it feels similar to Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua yet I really don't feel or think so at all.
I have been trying to finish as many products as I could this few months and a part 2 will be posted at the end of this month.
Hope you will find my mini reviews helpful and enjoy them too!!
XOXO Diana
