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 blends effortlessly, has a lovely medium coverage and is a great everyday foundation. I will absolutely repurchase this, but I have quite a lot of foundations in my collection at the moment, so it will be when I've used some of them up.

Next, I used up my Glossier cloud paint in dusk. This is my favourite cloud paint and it's such a great colour for every look. The rosey, brown toned blush is just something I found myself reaching for more and more. I love this colour but I actually gravitate more to stick and cream compact blushes these days... and I still have three other cloud paints. So it will probably be a long time before I repurchase this one.

Another Product I used up is my Maybelline Fit Me Concealer. I'm actually not the biggest fan of this concealer, It was part of my project pan so forced myself to use it up. I find the formula quite drying and it starts to look odd under my eyes throughout the day (it starts to almost look like ripples). This one I won't be repurchasing and I think the Instant Age Rewind Concealer, is a much better alternative from Maybelline, as it's a lot more hydrating.

My Clinique ID, was another product that I finished in June. One of my favourite moisturisers ever. I use the Dramatically different + moisturiser and green irritation cartridge combination. This is perfect for my dry skin and helped me so much when i was on accutane. I have repurchased this exact combination and I will definitely say this is my holy grail moisturiser.

Finally, I used up my Bumble and Bumble Curl Conditioning Mousse. I've had this for so long and I do love it! It gives my hair amazing volume and it doesn't leave that horrible crunch to my hair. I am currently loving the Amika Full Body Mousse as I feel it gives me slightly more volume. But I do recommend the Bumble and Bumble Mousse, but it's the only mousse I've ever used so want to try a few more before I decide on a favourite.

Bioderma Sensibio Range Review - PR

  If you've been around for a long time you'll know Bioderma is one of my favourite skincare brands and they were kind enough to send me their Sensibio range to try out.  The Bioderma Sensibio Micellar water needs no introduction. It's a staple in so many makeup artists routines and it's easy to see why. I've gone through so many of these micellar waters and nothing quite compares for me. This is the foundation of my morning skincare and is just enough cleansing without stripping my face. It's such a beautiful formula that leaves my skin looking super refreshed.  I also received a few goodies I haven't tried before including the Sensibio eye contour gel . This really surprised me as I usually steer towards creams when it comes to eye cream, but I was super impressed with the gel. It feels more like a creamy gel and glides beautifully under the eyes and makes the perfect base for concealer. I've actually been using this in the morning as I find the gel i...

Fenty Beauty Sun Stalk'r Bronzer - Pale Skin Review

I had been dying to purchase one of these bronzers since they came out and after months of resisting finally caved in! There are 8 shades which is great as there is a large range to choose from, depending on how you like your bronzer. Naturally I am quite pale and for reference I am the shade 120 in the Fenty Foundation and 150 Buff in Revlon's colour stay foundation, and even in summer, I never really change that much from these shades. From being so pale, the fear of the bronzer is real, I haven't found any that look natural and don't leave me looking orange, muddy, or like i have a some kind of smudge on my face. So I decided to try the lightest bronzer Fenty Beauty had to offer, Inda Sun. From swatching the shade appears pretty neutral and light, it doesn't have a red undertone that can leave pale skin looking orange. I also love the gold packaging and how luxury and sleek it feels. I used the same brush I would normally use for bronzer which is my real tech...

How To Streamline Your Skincare Routine

 Lately I have been feeling so overwhelmed with makeup, skincare and brushes and decided to take it back to basics. Having a simple skincare routine is great for your skin, cost effective and stops me changing my routine every day! I decided to make a routine and stick to it.. mainly in an attempt to stop my acne! 1. Cleanser  A cleanser is a must! Ensuring all that makeup and grime is off your face is one of the most important steps. I love this Pai, Camellia and Rose Cleanser , but it is a littttlleee expensive, another great alternative is the Nivea Daily Basics Face Wash.  If I want to make my cleanser last longer ( especially the ones that make my eyes water looking at the price ), I will just use micellar water, like the Bioderma one and a cotton pad in the morning and save my cleanser for night, but one cleanser will do the trick! 2. A Toner  Without a toner my skin feels tight and dry. The Liz Earle Skin Tonic, has been a favourite for years, it sm...
