Products I've Used Up // April


I used up a lot of products this month. It is always so satisfying to get rid of them at the end of the moth - and that is exactly what I am gonna do right after I finish writing this post.


essence eau de toilette like a first day in spring: If you are looking for a strong scent that last throughout the entire day essence perfumes are not for you - but did you expect that at that prize? I did not and I am perfectly happy with this eau de toilette. I love the scent itself, the packaging is really cute and I even like the name a lot. It all just fits together really beautifully. Especially if you are young or on a budget this range of perfumes by essence are a great option.



Maybelline the Colossal Volume Express Mascara 100% Black: I liked this non-waterproof mascara but it is not my favorite and I did not like it enough to repurchase it. The wand is really big (as the name would suggest) and the mascara does give volume to my lashes. The problem is that it starts to crumble throughout the day and does not hold the curl of my lashes as well as a waterproof mascara would.


Catrice Glamour & Doll Mascara Waterproof: This my favorite everyday mascara. My allergies have started once again a few weeks ago - that's why waterproof mascara is a must for my make-up routine. I have already repurchased this.


L'occitane Almond Handcreme: L'occitane handcremes are the best handcremes I have ever used. The only problem with that is that they are rather expensive. I got theis handcreme as part of a gift set so I still have a little tube left but after that I do not know what handcreme to get next. Do you have any recommendations?


alverde Wild Rose Oil For Dry Skin: I love this face oil and I have repurchased it multiple times already. This time I tried out a new moisturizer by alverde but I am pretty sure I will go back to this.


ebelin Konjac Skin Care Sponge Green Tea: I do have to admit I only used this sponge once. It is just not the right product for me. It says on the packaging that it is a very gentle scrub but I did not expect it to be that gentle - it basically felt like using a normal sponge. If you have very senstive skin this might work very well for you but it did not work me.


Balea Creme-Oil Face Mask: One side of the package lasts me for three uses but you could probably even stretch it to four. I have very dry skin and this mask did help temporarily. I scrubbed my face about once or twice a week and applied a mask afterwards. I left this mask on for 15 minutes and then massaged the rest into my skin. The mask did not leave my skin sticks or shiny but fresh and well moisturized. I do not think it made my skin less dry in the long run but it does help to moisturize my skin is I have a really "bad skin day".


KUR Profi Line 1-Minute Intense-Conditioner: I got this hair mask from my mother because she did not like the results on her hair. I did not like it either but I still used it up. It hardly has any effect on my hair. It neither moisturized it nor made it easier to brush it after I washed it. I cannot recommend this product.


herbal essences Shampoo for Volume: I really liked this shampoo but I am also excited about having used it up. I have way too many shampoos lined up in my cabinets that I want to use up. I generally like Herbal Essences shampoos but I do not think it gave my hair any more volume than any other shampoos I have used before. I also did not expect it to do that, so I am still happy with it and - after I use up all the other shampoos - I look forward to get back to herbal essences shampoos.


Balea Shaving Foam for Sensitive Skin: The only thing I can say about this is that I simply prefer shaving gel to shaving foam. I have dry and sensitive skin and this did not do work as well for my skin as the Balea shaving gel does. 

What products did you use up the month?
