May Empties

Even though lockdown's well and truly under way, I've been wearing makeup pretty much everyday. I actually find it therapeutic and it reminds me of normality (AKA, it's keeping me sane). So I'm still raking up the empties but I have been using makeup products that aren't  my favourite or I've forgotten about.

I have had this Revlon Candid concealer for ages and I decided I wanted to make a conscious effort to use it up in lockdown! I love the formula of this concealer, it's creamy and blends so well, but I just wish there were more shades. I can just about get away with their lightest shade 010 Vanilla, so that's why I don't usually reach for this one. If the shades expanded, I would definitely repurchase!

I also finished my Clinique Chubby lash Mascara. I've got about 5 months out of this mascara and it is one of may favourites. It's lengthening, volumising and I always get so many compliments on my lashes whenever I have this on. I would absolutely repurchase this. But I'm currently obsessed with waterproof mascara while i have dry eyes and hay fever turning my eyes into Niagra Falls.

My Mario Badescu Spray also bit the dust. I got this as a Christmas present and I use this as a toner and throughout the day too. This is so refreshing and I love to keep it in the fridge, I've gone through about four of these now and they're a staple in my routine.... Now everywhere in the world seems to be out of stock of this so I actually purchased the rose water from Heritage Store to try. I will repurchase this as soon as i can get my hands on it!

My Cerave Hydrating Cleanser also ran out. Luckily I have back ups of this coming out of my ears! It's my favourite cleanser of all time and has reached holy grail status! I actually buy the bigger version of this now, which you can buy on look fantastic, which is 473ml compared to 236 ml. It lasts me so much longer and is more cost effective!

I also used up my Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm. I adore this product and have already repurchased another one. It's amazing at melting away my makeup and is one of the only balm/oil cleansers that doesn't break my skin out or clog my pores.

So five things for the month of May, which I'm pretty happy with! A lot of my skincare is on the verge of running out so expect to see a LOT of skincare empties in June!

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...

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...

Glossier Skywash Review

Whenever Glossier launches anything, I just can't resist! I always loved the idea of swipe on liquid eyeshadows, but Glossiers lidstar's were just too shimmery for my taste... but Skywash.... right up my alley! These are matte liquid Eyeshadows, which claim to be buildable, long lasting (up to twelve hours) and easy to apply. I bought the shades echo, a cocoa brown and terra, a warm orange based brown. I love the concealer, doe foot like applicator, as it is small enough to swipe a good amount on my eyelid, without smearing it everywhere. I honestly can't tell you how easy these are to apply and blend out. A quick swipe on my eye and tap tap tap... I have a gorgeous wash of colour that's not patchy and looks divine! I love how quick and easy these are to apply and the fact they applied evenly really shocked me. They are also buildable, applying two coats gives me more of an evening look and a stronger wash of colour. To be honest... they aren't super long wear...
