Empties August 2016

Whos ready to see whats in my trash this month?!

Apart from mainly tissues, 2 boxes of those I went through.

But heres what I used up!

I used up this cheap branded nail polish remover. Wasn't my favourite. I quite like the one I'm using now though. Wouldn't repurchase this one.

 I'm throwing this out, its about half full, I just don't know how old it is and don't want to risk using it so I'm putting it in the bin. I probably won't repurchase this, as this was a sample anyway and I don't remember how I liked it.

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in Light: I used this as a light foundation as it was my actual skin colour. It was okay. I have it in light now and I do get why everyone likes it, its just not my cup of tea as the shade fair is still too dark for my liking. I may repurchase it though. I don't hate it, its just not my colour like I said.

Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer in Ivory: Again, too dark and this is lighter than the Fit Me. It just blends straight into my foundation and doesnt brighten which is what I like. Wouldn't repurchase.

Honestly, its been a month and a half since I used this and I can't remember how I feel about this. I think I used it as an exfoliator on my face in the shower. Probably wouldn't repurchase it.

I hated this since I got it, its the NYX Skinny Mascara and it is just so DRY. I used it once, and it didn't even apply anything. So I'm binning it. Wouldn't repurchase.

 Maybelline Baby Skin Primer, used to be my favourite. Now I think it just feels nice but doesn't really do anything. I have another one which I'm trying to use up. But I won't repurchase.

 Too Face Shadow Insurance. I felt like this was pretty good, but I only used it twice, so I don't know if i love it enough to buy the full size.

This moisturiser is so old I don't want to use it so I'm binning it. Wouldn't repurchase though.

You should know by now that I do love the Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous, though I might go for a shade lighter next time as this one was slightly dark on me I noticed.

Empties March 2016

Whoa almost wrote 2015 for a second there. Still not used to writing or typing 2016 yet.

But I was going to write a Favorites post but to be honest, I only really have 3 favorites and I haven't really been trying anything new. So I'll write them when they feel worth it.

But I have quite a few empties this month. Its a good accomplishment finishing up products. I love that feeling. So heres what I used up and my brief thoughts on them!

Vivito Illuminating Primer

This expires in 2016. Doesn't give a date or month just says Best Before 2016. I don't want to risk using it, so I'm throwing it out.

Revlon Colourstay Translucent Powder

I loved this. It was excellent. Might repurchase, I don't know. I feel like Stay Matte by Rimmel is just as great and its cheaper.

Maybelline Baby Skin Primer

Favorite drugstore primer apart from Loreal Base Magique, which I just haven't had the chance to buy. Already have another one of these

Essence All About Matt Powder

This was good, just had a white cast which I didn't like.

Australis Contour Kit

I only ever used the banana powder, now that I have bought it separately (Review is coming) I don't need this.

Lush Snow Fairy Shower Gel

Sad to see this go. And I hear its coming back for Christmas In July. So you can bet I'm stocking up on this baby.

Skin Yoga Sandalwood and Saffron Face Mask

This made my skin feel like a babies bum. It was beautiful.

Face of Australia Lipliner in Nude

This is just very grey toned and makes my lips look I'm sick.

Maybelline Lash Sensational Waterproof

Yes I love this mascara. Just not the waterproof version. I can't get it off my lashes no matter what method I try.

Empties #3

More shits going in the bin, yaay!

I had a bunch of eyeliners and lipliners that I went through and decided "I don't use this ever" So I'm throwing them away to make room

This one is one of my favourite concealers and I've already repurchased it, but I think its gone up in price...

 

I bought the Maybelline Fit Me concealer thinking it was the perfect shade, yet when I went home, it was too dark. I tried using it for a bronzer but its too pale to be a bronzer. So I'm throwing it out.

I loved both these products. I'm debating buying the full size of the Porefessional, and the Dermalogica moisturizer is just so hydrating its perfect for the morning.

Its honestly sad to see this product empty. I loved this foundation and will repurchase in the future if it goes on sale because it is so expensive.

I got this from Lust Have it when I was an affiliate, I haven't recieved any mail from them in months so I've given up with them to be honest. But this bronzer is way too dark for me so I'm throwing it out.

I've got 2 of these blushes in 'Babydoll' and I dont need them both so I'm throwing one away.

These wipes I use all the time to wipe up while im doing my makeup. They are excellent and I've already repurchased.

This concealer was okay, nothing amazing. Wouldn't repurchased

Never used these eyeliners. Don't see any use for them. In the bin they go.

I recently bought another white eyeshadow to replace this one with so I have no use for this one anymore.

Empties #2

Time for another 'shit I'm throwing out' post. Just incase any of you were curious as to what I am throwing in my bin this week.

 First item thats going in the bin is my old eyelash curler that I just bought at Daiso. Nothing too special about it. I have naturally curled lashes so I don't often use my curler too regularly and this was just getting old and I need a replacement.

 

All of these lipsticks either make my teeth more yellow than they are, or have no colour pay off and thats the reason why I am throwing them out.

 

I've had this for about a year and its just gone rock hard. As you can see in the picture you can see where I've forced my nail into it. Into the bin eyeliner.

 

I got this about 2 months ago to do one job, sharpen the pencils. It broke one cause its just not a very smooth operating sharpener.

 

Finally onto products I've actually used. I used this Moisturizing Day Cream by Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula and one it smelt delightful and two it left my skin feeling so good.

 

I had a love hate relationship with this mascara as you can read from my review here. The top lash mascara was difficult to use, and the lower lash mascara was easier to use. It has started to go clumpy so I'm throwing it out.

 

I am in love with this mascara. Its hands down one of my favourites by Essence just behind the (Big Lash Effect?) You can read my review on it here.

 

This product came in my first ever bellabox and to be honest...I tried using it but I'm just not feeling it. It tastes like crap and the colour just isn't pink enough. Its too red.

 

These are my Holy Grail wipes. I buy them all the time and will most likely buy them again. (Unless WotNot is cheaper....)

 

I was sorting through my drawers one day and found this, I had honestly forgot I had it. These wipes are fantastic, and - actually I did a review on them, here ya go

So there! Thats all the junk I'm throwing in the bin.

#1 Empties 2015

New year, more shit to throw out. I've been collecting these items since January and decided its about time to chuck them in the bin. Lets see what I have...

Loreal Base Magique Primer: I quite liked this primer, as it was creamy. But I wouldn't pay full price for this.

Avene Blemish Lotion: It actually has a long name, I just forgot it and its already in the bin so I'm not getting it back out. But I didn't like this. I feel like it cause more acne than reduce it. I don't know. Maybe I was due for my monthlys (I'm on the pill so I don't get it) and thats what caused it but I really dont know.

Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream: Already bought a backup of this as I use it daily and love it.

Savvy Eyeliner: I hated this. The applicator was pointy and made the application streaky.

Essence Big Lashes: My favourite Essence mascara, will buy another for sure.

Maybelline Hyper Glossy Liquid Liner: I did like this, It just dried up because I didn't use it for a long time....I will buy another one.

Seche Vite: Dried up within 2 months :( Will not buy again.

Covergirl Flamed Out Mascara: I really liked this mascara, I will buy if it goes back on sale.

Face of Australia Lip Crayon in Macaron: This broke on me but I hardly use it and I can buy another one for real cheap anyway.

Rimmel Smokey Noir: I've had this for years and its just starting to lose its quality

What have you thrown out recently?

February Empties

Hey Beauties,

Last post I swear to God.

I've decided I'm only going to post empties every 2 months, as I don't really use that much up in a month. But here is what I have used up this month.

First up, I used up these Wot Not wipes I got in a Bellabox a few months back. I LOVED these more than my Neutrogena ones. And that says alot. These are full of Moisture and aren't drying when removing makeup. I am considering buying these again. But I'm not sure.

Yes, there is a little bit of product left. But I cannot get it out. This is just a cheap ass, $5 gift pack, Body Scrubs, that I got for Christmas. This was okay, it smelt nice (Scent was Tropical) but it wasn't long lasting and not moisturising. Infact it was drying. My skin is never dry and I actually needed to moisturise myself which I hardly ever need to do. So I won't repurchase this.

If I could upload a photo of my stretchmarks, I would. Mine are insane. My mother describes it as 'Post Pregnancy Stretchmarks'. I have it on my boobs, all up my arms, and from my hip, down to my calf. Its crazy. I've been using Bio Oil, and there wasn't much in there so I don't know how effective it was, so I'm going to repurchase it.

This Collection 2000 Nail Polish is just a shit formula. Its like water. I can't apply with it. Its just so sheer that I give up. I think it may be because either a) its old b) its gone crap from humidity. Either or I may or may not repurchase it.

This product is still full, but I just cannot use it. It hurts my eyes to the point where I have to rub them. Theres too many chemicals in it! Model Co. Change the freaking formula. Apart from that, the mascara is fine. Repurchase? No.

So....Yah. Thats all I've used this month, and this is my last post for the night! I'm going to go now, and install adobe to my laptop. Because I can't do shit without it popping up.

Keep Smiling
