Empty products #2

Another month, another empties post. I actually have another bag that is quickly filling up with used up items so there will be another similar post coming up in a couple of weeks, because I don't want to make this too long.

Alverde Body Butter Trio

Back in December I picked up this set of Alverde mini body butters from a local drugstore (dm) and today I wanted to share my thoughts about them. Body butters are my guilty pleasure and I love trying out new brands and scents they come up with. For the winter I usually prefer nutty scents, but in the summer I like something fresh & fruity.

This set from Alverde includes three mini body butters (50 ml): 

- Hibiscus and Shea Butter: floral and fresh scent;

- Aloe Vera & Mango Butter: sweet and exotic scent

- Pomegranate & Cocoa Butter: fruity-sweet.

They feel very pleasant on the skin and have a soft, creamy texture. After I apply them they don't leave any greasy residue and sink into the skin surprisingly fast, leaving behind a nice scent that is not overpowering and stays on the skin for about 4 hours. The skin is left feeling super soft. Considering these were released in the winter I was a bit surprised with the scent combinations, that would perhaps work better in the spring or summer time, but I didn't mind that too much, since the texture and formula was nourishing enough for the winter time as well.

I'm unsure if these come in a larger size, but I would be very interested to get the Aloe Vera & Mango Butter and Hibiscus & Shea butter in a bigger version.

If you can still spot these at dm I highly recommend you try them out - they only cost around 2-3 €, if I remember correctly.

ASOS Beauty Haul

ASOS website is mainly known for stocking a large amount of clothing and accessories, but they also sell a surprisingly vast range of beauty and skin care items. Every once in a while I decide to order a couple things that are not available at local stores, other online shops or are simply on offer - free shipping is a major plus.

Le Rouge Culte de Chanel (Rouge N'19, Rouge Flamboyant, Laque Rouge)

While we're still waiting for the Spring Collection Rȇverie Parisienne to land at Chanel counters in Slovenia it's a perfect opportunity that I finally feature a post about the Le Rouge Culte de Chanel collection of rereleased cult red nail polishes from the 80's.
