August and September Empties

With moving house, I completely forgot to let you know which products I used up in August, so I thought why not combine last months empties with this month.

I got through a fair few amount of products over the past two months so buckle up guys! I finally finished my Nars Radiance Primer, which started to turn my foundations slightly pink towards the end. I did enjoy this primer but I'm not sure if I'd repurchase it.I'm especially proud as this was in my project pan. Another project pan item I finished was the Kiehl's butter stick lip treatment. I was given this from my time as a musician by Kiehl's but I didn't enjoy the formula. It wasn't hydrating and actually dried out my lips in the end, but I did love the colour!

I used up my NYX bare with me setting spray, which has become my new favourite. I thoroughly enjoyed this spray; it set my makeup in place, lasted a long time, and hydrated my skin. I will repurchase this in the future but I'm currently using the NYX dewy setting spray which I'm also enjoying. My Barry M Lid Lock eye primer also bit the dust and I couldn't be happier. I really didn't like this eye primer, it had a really silicone base to it, which felt grainy and made my eyelids super oily throughout the day.

In terms of skincare, I finished another Clinique take the day off balm cleanser. This is a great product, which I love. I have recently been sent a few new makeup removers so I'll be trying those, but the Clinique balm cleanser is a staple. I had also been trying a new cleanser over the past few months which is the Simple Micellar Water Cleanser, I loved this cleanser and I have some as back up. This is such an affordable, basic, cleanser that has become a new favourite of mine. Another Simple Product I used up was the Simple Water Boost Gel Moisturiser. I bought this after forgetting my moisturiser when I went home in August so picked this up. I really enjoyed this moisturiser and found it perfect for summer.

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...
