Hi everyone!
Today, I'm bringing you an Empties post; a rundown of products I've used up lately. There is a bit of everything; makeup, skincare, body care & hair care. I will brieflytell you something about each product and whether I would repurchase and why. Let's start with the makeup bit, shall we?
Revlon Colorstay Foundation for normal/dry skin in 110 Ivory: It is quite rare that I find a highstreet foundation that matches my skin shade (I'm vampirically pale). This one did and, lo and behold I really loved it. Used up. The coverage was nice, my skin looked really perfected and overall I enjoyed using it. Will most probably repurchase for upcoming colder months.
Nars Sheer Glow Foundation in Siberia: Shade-wise, this one was not ideal for me. I bought it online and I automatically went for the lightest available shade and it turned out to be too yellow-toned for me. As for performance; I didn't really get along with this one all that well to be honest. I thought it sat weird on my skin and didn't look very nice. I had it for quite a long time and I had used up most of it but decided to part ways with it. Wouldn't repurchase.
Make Up For Ever HD Loose Setting Powder: I bought the travel size because I was curious to try it and even though the jar was quite small, there was a lot of product that lasted me for a long time. I enjoyed using this very hyped product but I found that sometimes, it would react weird with my undereye concealer and made it look weird, cakey and somehow oxidized. I'll probably get the travel size again to have in my collection but I also want to try something else. Any tips for great setting powders?
Beauty Blender: My staple product. 100% worth the hype. It's not technically an empty products but the time has come to get a new one. Right now I'm using a different sponge I might talk about in a separate post but I fully intend to buy this product again.
Essence Glow Tinted Lipbalm: A discontinued product, I believe. It was exactly what its name suggested. Iwt was alright but I was really using it and I had it for too long. Would not probably repurchase even if it was still on the market.
Essence Liquid Ink Waterproof Eyeliner in Black: Another of my staple products. I use this everytime I do liquid liner. It has never really failed me. It's pigmented, dries down matte and stays on. I played many shows wearing this and it has always performed great (better than me, at times haha). It's also REALLY affordable. Already repurchased.
Sephora Outrageous Curl Mascara in Black: Got this as a gift and did not like it. I found it too wet, clumpy and overall not nice looking at all. Wouldn't purchase full size.
Too Faced Shadow Insurance Eyeshadow Base: For the longest time my staple eyeshadow base. I repurchased this a couple times but now I've been using a MAC Paint Pot for eyeshadow base and I had this for too long so we said goodbye. Might repurchase in the future but I'm not activelly planning on it right now.
Essence Superfine Waterproof Eyeliner Pen in Black: This was a nice eyeliner pen, if you're into this type of eyeliner. Really affordable, too but it dried up REALLY fast. Might repurchase, might not.
NYX Stay Matte But Not Flat Powder Foundation in Ivory (not 100% sure): It was alright and I liked the packaging, it was practical (a built-in mirror and a compartment for a velour puff/sponge). I did feel it on the skin, though. Not really planning on repurchasing.
Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara: Yet another one of my staples! I love how this mascara makes my lashes look. My lashes are naturally quite long and curved and this mascara just coats each and every lash and makes me look like I'm wearing falsies (in a good way, obviously). Already repurchased.
Let's now jump into skincare/body care and also some hair care!
Batiste Dry Shampoo in Original: Guess what -- another staple product in my collection! My favourite dry shampoo. It's affordable, does the job really well and the Original scent is fresh and pleasant. Already repurchased.
Balea Ultra Sensitive Body Lotion: A couple months ago, I went through a phase when my skin was extremely sensitive amd reactive, so I bought this also with the matching shower gel (which I've not saved for this post for some reason). Neither of them aggravated my skin in any way, so if you suffer from similar issues, these may be an option to try. My skin is back to normal so I've switched back to scented body care but may these issued ever occure again, I know what to go for.
Rexona Maximum Protection Antiperspirant in Sensitive Dry: Another staple product. I know it's probably really unhealthy and chemical but it really works for me. If you have any tips for a natural antiperspirant that really works, please let me know! Already repurchased.
Himalaya Herbals Purifying Neem Scrub: Although I don't really have oily skin anymore, I really enjoyed this facial scrub. It wasn't too harsh and my skin felt really nice afterwards. Also I think it's quite a natural priduct. Would repurchase in the future.
Nivea Micellar Cleansing Wipes: This is my favourite kind of makeup wipes (along with the pink micellar Garnier ones). I use these when I'm travelling or am just really lazy, haha. Already repurchased.
The Body Shop Drops Of Youth Youth Cream: I was quite on the fence about this product, honestly. I liked it at first but over time, I started to realize that it wasn't giving me as much moisture as I would've liked. It smells really nice, though and it creates a good surface to use foundation on top of. Would not repurchase, though.
Neutrogena Nourishing Lipbalm: Quite a standard lipbalm. Might repurchase some day, might not.
Klorane Volume Shampoo and Conditioner With Flax Fiber: I got this deluxe sample set as a gift for Christmas and started using them when I moved. They lasted me a really long time considering they were sample-sized and I really enjoyed using them. If you have fine, flat hair and you're looking for something that will not weigh your hair down and will do a good job of cleaning it, I recommend trying this range. Might purchase full size in the future.
SO! I really hope you enjoyed this quite a hefty post! Have you tried any of these products? Have any of them striked your fancy? Let me know!
Until next time, take care!
xoxo Tess
