[Empties] #18

Hi pandas,

Wow, this time I was really gone for a long while. What can I say, life has kept me busy pretty much 24/7 lately. Living situation is not really what I want/need right now, part-time job, my research for my thesis...well, enough for the excuses, I finally sat down and wrote a post. There has been quite a mass of empties floating around in my room so it's time for another empties post.

I apologize already for the picture quality. Taking good pictures in Japan with natural daylight in winter is a huuuge challenge and most of the time they turn out either oversaturated or blueish. I tried my best to fix it.

Hi pandas,

how are you doing? I'm trying to survive this awful heat here in Japan. Seriously, I was not made for this weather. That's also why I didn't really get to blog recently. When I wasn't busy with studying, I was resting and doing my best to avoid a heat stroke.
And how to get back into blogger better than posting some empties. I'm going back to Germany for vacation soon and plan to move afterwards so I really, really need to clean my stuff, get rid of things I don't need anymore and start using up products.

Hiiiiiiii,

Oh my God, it feels like forever that I have spoken to you. Well. It has been quite long, hasn't it.
University has been keeping me quite busy. Like reading articles and preparing presentations and stuff until 1 or 2 am busy. On top of that I have started swimming twice a week. While it is awesome to be back at working out (and stare at really hot dudes while doing so XD) it is also exhausting. So blogging suffered quite a it. I do hope I will find time to blog regularly again from now on.

To get back into the blogging world, I have another empties entry for you. This is from April and May...I may have skipped March but...oh well. Better than nothing, right ^^

Hi pandas,

How are you doing? Can you believe it, another month is already over again. It just feels like yesterday that 2016 started and here we are, 1/6 is already over again. I feel like saying this in almost every post but where the hell is time going to? Sometimes I wish I could just yell "stoooop" and slow down. Well, enough of my more or less philosophical thoughts, here are the empties for February:

[Empties] #14

Hi pandas,

how are you doing? I know, I wanted to start blogging more regularly again. Oh well....
Last few weeks I was really busy with exams and term papers and I felt like a zombie. Literally. Even now, that I'm officially on spring break I feel pretty emotionally and mentally exhausted. It's slowly getting better and there is also the planned trip to Taiwan and Korea.

Anyways, I had the pictures for the empties from January on my SD card for quite a while so now I will finally take the time to write about them.

Hi pandas,

How are you doing? I hope you had a great start into 2016 and may this year bring you only joy and good things =D
It feels like ages since I've posted something here. Moving to Japan and settling in has been a lot more stressful than I thought it was. And now that I'm finally feeling like I really "arrived" here there's a lot of studying waiting for me -.-

Anyways....I wanted to get back into blogging for a while and why not start with the ever beloved empties. This time I have combined empties for November and December.

So let's get started!

Hi pandas,

how are you doing?
Time is flying as always and another month is already over again. But that also means that it's time for an empties post =D

[Empties] #11

Hi pandas,

How are you doing? Can you believe it, July is already over...once again another month is over. Half of 2015 is already over. Time is flying by. I think I'm saying that in every empties post but these posts make me truly realize how fast time is passing.
This also means that I have less than 2 months left in Germany...

Anyways, here are my empties for this month:

[Empties] #10

Hello pandas,

how are you doing?
Summer finally started here in Germany and everyone is melting. Strangely I'm doing fine with the heat this time (even though our aircon at work doesn't work properly); normally I'm the first one to suffer from the heat...

Anyways, another month has passed - can time slow down a bit?! It's all happening so fast - and it's time for another empties entry.

[Empties] #09

Hey pandas,

some of you may have noticed (or not) that I have been gone for quite a few days. Apart from being busy with work - as always - there was another reason that I will tell you about in the next post.
For now, here are my empties for May:

[Empties] #08

Hello my lovely pandas!

How are you doing? Can't believe April is already over...seemed like it started only a few days ago...
Anyways....of course I managed to empty some products this month as well.

[Empties] #08

Hello pandas,

How are you doing? It's been quite a while since I posted here...somehow the time was flying away without me really noticing it "^^

But here I am again with a classic: empties

[Empties] #07

Hello pandas,

How are you doing?
Lately it seems like times is flying by. Can't even believe it's already the end of february...

I didn't do an empties at the end of january because I somehow didn't have many empty things. I'm currently trying to use up all the things I've collected over the past months. If I really move to Japan at the end of this year I don't wanna take unnecessary things with me.

[Empties] #06

Hello my pandas,

Today is the last day of 2014. Can't believe this year is already over. It has been a very eventful year for me and I'm actually looking forward to 2015. 2014 is also the year when I started blogging and although I'm still at the very beginning of this journey it has been really fun so far and I hope I can continue on this path =D
 I hope you have a great start into the new year and all your wishes will come true!!

As my last post I have empties (very fitting, I know XD)

very crowded overview XD

[Empties] #05

Hello lovelies,

I can't believe another month is over and it's time for empties again. I'm so busy lately it really feels like time is flying "^^

Sorry, no picture of all the products together....I was busy with going to Munich for my GRE Test on sunday so I took those pictures in a hurry and forgot a picture of them all XD

[Empties] #04

Hello lovelies,

I hope you’re all doing fine. I finally moved - yay, no more posts that start with “I’m currently stuck between boxes” XD On the downside my body didn’t handle the stress very well and I didn’t only catch a cold I also have to fight with pimples and herpes right now.

 

 

Despite all this I wanted to write a post about my empties this month. As always a lot of products collected in my little paper bag…

; Balea Bodybalsam Sensitive (German drugstore brand) – one of my all-time favorite body lotions. As a child I had mild neurodermatitis so I still have to be careful about what I put on my skin. However I also can’t stand textures that are too rich so this was perfect. Lightweight, so it absorbed quickly but still rich enough for my skin. I currently try to use up another body lotion but after that I will definitely repurchase this product.

; Balea Professional Tiefenreinigung Shampoo (German drugstore brand) – A deep cleansing shampoo. It was too strong to use it on my hair every wash but it was very good to clean my make-up brushes. For that purpose I will buy it again.

; Pantene Pro-v Repair&Care Conditioner – I really love this conditioner. I have thick, dry and bleached hair so I need a rich conditioner. I already repurchased it.

; Bodysol Buttermilk & Lemon Shower gel – My mom got me this. It was all right and smelled nice but I have no idea where she got this and it wasn’t so good that I can’t live without it so not buying it again.

; Bifesta Eye make-up remover – I really liked this product. I already wrote a review here and the biggest plus was that it removed my Japanese mascara pretty well (they can be a bitch to get off your lashes…). I’m currently using one from a German drugstore that also seems to work really well. If it turns out the German one is as good as the Bifesta one I’ll continue using the German one until I get back to Japan.

; Etude House Wonder Pore Freshener - as I wrote in my review here I was quite disappointed with this product since I had high expectations. I’m happy it’s finally empty and I’m currently using a toner from Mizon

; Balea Eyecream (German drugstore brand) – was okay but now I’m trying one with anti-aging properties.

; It’s Skin Power 10 VC Effector – Since this was only a sample I can’t say a lot. I used two other versions in Japan because they were on sale but I can’t remember particularly liking them.

; Balea Teatree food cream (German drugstore brand) – Was okay but I didn’t like the smell so I bought another one.

; Etude House, I need you mask sheets in Mango, Acai Berry, Bamboo and Tea Tree – I liked them more than the sheet masks in their A-Z series because they fit my face a lot better. I ordered some masks sheets from tonymoly that I wanna try but I’ll probably gonna repurchase these ones here sometime in the future.

; Tonymoly Panda’s Dream Eye Patch – These were so much fun to use. Made me really look like a panda (I posted a picture on my Instagram) and felt really good. Probably gonna buy these again.

; My Burberry sample – smelled nice but not so good that I would buy the full-size

; green glitter eyeliner – I’ve had this for years but never used it and it’s slowly getting bad so I threw it out.

; Catrice Ultimate Lash Multimizer Volume Mascara (German drugstore brand) – this didn’t work on my lashes at all and clumped so it’s going in the trash can.

; p2 absolute color lipsticks in 121 milky chai and 101 vibrant Barolo (German drugstore brand) – another two products to throw away… they went bad, smelled funny and the texture was strange

; canmake base coat – That was a nice base coat but it got thick towards the end and I couldn’t reach the polish with the brush anymore so bye bye. Probably gonna buy it again when I’m in Japan.

; p2 your wild side black matte nail polish (German drugstore brand) – it’s quite old so it doesn’t have a matte finish anymore. That kinda defeats the purpose of a matte nail polish plus I have a matte top coat so this is going as well.

; p2 pure color lipstick in 110 Place de la Concorde (German drugstore brand) – another lipstick gone bad. Strange smell and strange texture. Also the color made me look really pale and sick.

; lipstick I got as a present a long time ago. The color doesn’t fit me at all and I have so many lipsticks so I decided to get rid of this one.

; Sundance chapstick (German drugstore brand) – this is very old and started smelling funny so gone with it.

; essence XXXL lipgloss in 03 very berry (I think) (German drugstore brand) – The texture of this is awful …it feels so sticky and the color showed up weird on my lips so this is gone as well.

 

There were quite a lot of products that I decided to throw out this time but I took moving flats as an opportunity to get rid of stuff I don’t need or use anymore.

Once I get settled here I hope I have more time to blog again…I miss posting regularly on here ^^

Hello everyone~

Can you believe it? September is already over. For me it was a very exciting month. My boyfriend came to visit and I turned in my Bachelor thesis, which means I am no longer a student and off to new adventures.

And of course I also used up quite a lot products ^^

[Empties] #01

These are the things I used up lately~
Alles was ich in letzter Zeit aufgebraucht hab~
