October Empties

Cottage Argan Oil Shower Gel

Like the brand; disliked this scent, which is far too overpowering for me.

Verdict: Leave it!

Avène Hydrance Optimale Légère

I've been using it regularly for the past couple of years, especially in Spring-Summer. I enjoy it then; but for Autum-Winter, I feel the light version is not enough. Although I could buy the richer version, I decided to change for a while, as I've been tired of its scent; also I sometimes feel it's difficult to sink in, probably because of the SPF which layers upon the skin.

Would love to try a sheer city block (SPF) for a change...

Verdict: Love it!

Gemey-Maybelline Rocket Volum' Express Mascara

I began to really enjoy it at least a month after opening. I love the volumized lashes but still natural effect it gives. No clumps. However I am still amazed because this wand really hurts my eyes (and that is saying a lot, since I consider I am far from brutal when it comes to making myself up). Even with a gentle light hand, the wand is too harsh; especially when compared to other brands (Dior, Clinique...) or any other wand from Gemey (Colossal).

Verdict: Leave it! Altough the final effect is near perfect, I have no pleasure in being extra careful with my movements each morning.
