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.

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...
