February and March Empties

Lately I've been making a real effort to use up products in my stash! Whether that's skincare hair care or makeup! I have also cracked through a lot of lip balms, I repeat, a LOT of lip balms because of my Accutane treatment.

Skincare 
Liz Earle's Cleanse and Polish is a great staple cleanser, I love the stuff and this is probably my fourth bottle. I would definitely repurchase this, but at the minute my CeraVe cleanser is still my number one. I also used up the Liz Earle Skin Tonic, which I absolutely love, it's so refreshing and hydrating on my skin and will definitely be repurchasing!
I had been hanging on to my Body Shop Skin Defence SPF for a long time. I'm not sure if it's been discontinued but I cannot find it anywhere! This never broke me out, it's got SPF 50 and sits really well under makeup. Gone but not forgotten.
I also used up the Too Faced Hangover Rx Good to Go Moisturiser. This is an ok product, It has SPF 25 and does make my makeup sit nice, but I have a few cheaper moisturisers that do the same thing. The scent is really nice to begin with, but if you apply this every morning, it does start to become sickly and I dreaded putting it on!
The sad day came when my Kiehl's Avocado Eye Treatment Ran out...It has lasted me a year but I still get bitter every time it runs out. I know I will buy this again at some point but at the minute I'm trying some others.

Hair Care
The only hair product I used up was the John Frieda, Frizz Ease, Miraculous Recovery Mask. Honestly one of my favourite masks ever! My hair looks shiny and healthy, it's just a great product.

Makeup 
Smash-box's Primerizer is that one primer I always go back to, It's lightweight, makes my makeup look flawless and is super hydrating. I have some other primers I'm using at the minute, but this is definitely one of my favourites.
I also used up my Benefit Precisely My Brow Pencil and a travel sized Gimme Brow. Gimmie Brow is just average for me, I love Glossier's Boy Brow and Nyx's tinted brow mascara, they just make my brows fluffier, so I probably won't repurchase this. The brow pencil is great I've had this forever, but I recently discovered the Nyx Brow pencils and I think they're a bit more forgiving and easy to blend, so probably won't repurchase this either.
Nyx's on the rise mascara was a product I couldn't wait to try, but it kind of let me down. It just didn't do anything for my lashes. They looked flat and the mascara really stung my eyes, so I will stick to the mascaras I know and love.
I also used up the Makeup Revolution Liquid eyeliner, which is my second eyeliner. This is a great formula especially for the price, but I'm just finding they're drying out quite quickly, so I'm trying something new!

Lipbalms
Now I've gone through six lip balms in the past two months alone...six! I'm going to do a blog post specifically about my favourite ones towards the end of my accutane so keep an eye out for that!

June Empties

I can't believe another month has rolled around and it's time for another monthly empties review. I got through six products this month (I know, I'm proud) and it was a bit of a mix of everything; Haircare, Skincare and makeup. Firstly, I used up my La Roche Posay Anthelios Ultra Sensitive SPF 50 Sunscreen. This isn't my favourite SPF but it does do the job. I wear three pumps of this on my face every day and it has lasted about 3 months. I think the formula is ok it can feel a bit sticky and takes a while to sink in but it isn't my favourite but it isn't a product I don't like. I have repurchased this, because SPF is THE most important part of my skincare routine and when I ran out I knew I could run to Superdrug and repurchase this, because I did not want to go without. Secondly, I finished my Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation. I cannot remember the last time I finished a foundation! This is, without a doubt, my favourite drugstore foundation. It bl...

July Empties

 Ahhh another month another empties blog. I actually got through quite a bit of makeup this month, which is unusual for me as it's usually skincare I crank through.  The first product I used up was my beloved Glossier Futuredew. I didn't realise how much I loved this until it was gone. My makeup feels so much different without this as a base and I do miss it as part of my makeup routine. I have a few other primers to get through but I will definitely repurchase this one in the future. The second product I used was my benefit liquid eyeliner. I did like this liner; it's opaque, the felt tip is quite nice and it lasted such a long time before drying up. I do prefer brush tipped eyeliners as I find with hooded eyes my winged eyeliner always looks a lot more precise than with a pen style. So I purchased the KVD liquid eyeliner instead, but the benefit eyeliner is great just not my favourite.  My third empty is my smash box primer water. I adore this spray, it comes out as a f...

Reviewing Bioderma's Hydrabio Range

If you've followed my blog for a few years, you'll know Bioderma is one of my favourite skincare brands. Their Micellar water is a product I refuse to live without and I've gone through too many to count. I was over the moon when Bioderma kindly sent me their Hydrabio Range* to try. The Hydrabio range is aimed at combating dehydrated, dry, skin, which I'm especially prone to in winter. 1. Hydrabio Makeup Removing Micellar Water Now, Bioderma's Sensibio micellar water is a holy grail skincare product in my collection. Believe it or not, I didn't realise Bioderma did other varieties of micellar water for different skin concerns. I've been using the Hydrabio micellar water for a few days and I do find my skin feels more hydrated and plump, compared to the sensibio one. It removes makeup just as well as the Sensibio micellar water and I find the Hydrabio micellar water to be a little more gentle and soothing. I would definitely repurchase the Hydrabio version in...
