Empties #10

EMPTIES 

OCTOBER  20 - NOVEMBER 22

• Maybelline Fit Me Set + Smooth Powder '120 Classic Ivory' - This was a nice powder, I just wish it came in a translucent version because this was the lightest shade and it was too dark for me. This was really smooth and didn't emphasise any texture on my skin, the only issue I had with it was the colour. I don't think I would repurchase this unless they brought out lighter shades. 
• Keune Design Curl Cream 200mL - This is my favourite curl cream because it doesn't leave my hair too crunchy, and just enhances my natural curls. This tube lasted me well over a year so I know it's good value and I have already repurchased! The only downside is that this can be a little tricky to find.  
• Beyonce Heat Rush Perfume 100mL - I liked this perfume, it was fruity and citrusy and sweet which is what I like, but this didn't last very well on me, however I may have just grown accustomed to it because I wore it nearly everyday for the past nine months or so. One thing I can't stand about this perfume is the name, but what can you do about that? I think I would repurchase this in the future, but maybe just the 30mL as over an extended period I got a bit bored of using this. 
• Help @ Hand Cotton Tips 200 Pack - These were okay, I went through these very quickly as they didn't hold much product and would break apart very easily. They weren't unusable, but when using them I would use far more than I typically would. Don't think I would repurchase any time soon. 
• Mitchum 48HR Protection Shower Fresh Deodorant 50mL - I am so sick of using this and it just doesn't work for me. Need to find a replacement very soon. 
• Colorpop Brow Boss Gel 'Clear' - I really don't know how I feel about this brow gel. It really held my brows in place, but I feel like there were more cons than pros with this. There was very little product, and the wand picked up so little that I had to remove the stopper to actually use it. It also left a weird white/grey cast on my brows because its white rather than translucent. I liked how well this set/held my brows in place, but I wish it was truly clear, and that there was more product in the tube. I don't think I'll be repurchasing. 
• Simple Cleansing Facial Wipes 25 Pack - I think I still have another backup pack of these, but I will not be repurchasing in the future. These are just a bit too rough for my skin.
• Barry M Flawless Original Primer -  This was the oldest primer in my collection and I really hated it. I picked it up when I was in the UK back in 2016 because I didn't own a primer and this sounded like it would be good - it claims to be pore minimising, smoothing, and mattifying but I found it to do none of those things. Maybe it's just not for my skin (all though it claims it's for all skin types), but I found that this didn't minimise my pores, made me look greasy, left a gross heavy and sticky residue on my skin, and smelled awful. This also did not help with the wear of my foundation, I noticed product broke down more quickly when I used this as a base. Would not recommend and will not be repurchasing. 
• Colourpop Lippie Stix 'Button' - I have a weird relationship with Button, it's my oldest Colourpop lipstick, and while I do love it, sometimes it looked really bad and sometimes it was beautiful. It's a very comfortable lipstick, I just find that because it's so creamy it's very easy to put too much on and it ends up looking thick and heavy on the lips. I found that I really loved to wear this blotted down, but still enjoyed it unblotted too. This was a pretty neutral pink on me and I think it was flattering, it wore beautifully and even once it started to wear off it would leave a nice stain on the lips. I would consider repurchasing this in the future, but I think this colour has been discontinued. 
• Soap & Glory Mini Hand Food Hydrating Hand Cream 50mL - I still really enjoy this hand cream, but for the scent more than anything. It's not the most hydrating for me (my hands get very dry), but it is a nice product.
