March Empties

EMPTIES

  • Help@Hand Makeup Pads 80 Pack ($1.50) - These are fine, they don't break down when I use them which is great, and they have a textured side which I like because I feel like it helps exfoliate a bit. I would buy these again but maybe look for a bigger pack. 
  • Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara ($39.00) - I don't think I would buy this mascara again, it's been a favourite of mine for a while but I hate that it flakes throughout the day and it's been making my lashes look really clumpy and gross lately. If this didn't flake, I would love it, but I just don't have time for this anymore. 
  • Bare Minerals Lashtopia Mascara (SAMPLE) - I actually really liked this, it was a great everyday mascara that didn't irritate my eyes at all and wore really nicely. It's super lengthening and I like how it separates my lashes, it's also great for the lower lash line. I would consider buying this in the future because even after being open for three months it's still performing well and not causing any irritation. This one really surprised me!  
  • Tarte Shape Tape Contour Concealer in Fair ($40.00) - I like this, I found that sometimes it would dry my under eyes out, but the past few months I haven't had any issues with it. I like the coverage that I get from this and it doesn't crease on me, but this colour was a little too dark. I think if I repurchase this I'll get Fair Beige (it's hard to know though because you can't buy it in store here). 
  • Swisspers Cotton Tips 400 Pack ($5.50) - I managed to use up two packs of cotton tips in the past two months which might seem a bit ridiculous, but I keep one in my vanity for taking off nail polish and one on my desk for cleaning up mistakes while I do my makeup. I don't know if I would buy this size again because it doesn't fit in my drawers, but it was good for having on my desk.
  • Giorgio Armani Si Eau De Parfum 7mL (SAMPLE) - I really love this perfume, it's a warm vanilla scent that's really elegant. I do have a full size of this that I got for Christmas and I'm really excited to use it, I could see this becoming my signature scent. I like this more in winter, I think it's a little too dark for summer, but I will still happily use it year round. 
  • Hourglass Mineral Veil Primer 4mL (SAMPLE) - This didn't really do anything for me, I don't think it smoothed my skin that much or made my makeup last any longer. It was just like a basic primer that made my skin feel slippery. I absolutely would not pay Hourglass prices for this, but it's okay I guess. I also finished my 1mL sample this month.
  • Essence Lip Liner in In The Nude ($2.00) - I don't think this lip liner is available anymore, but I did really enjoy it. I like the Essence lip liners because they're not too soft but not too firm, I've never had a cap fall off them, and they're really pigmented and last well. You can't get better value for money when it comes to these. So even if I can't buy this exact one again, I'll definitely go to Essence first when looking for lip liners.

To replace Shape Tape I've decided to roll in my Makeup Revolution Conceal & Define Concealer, I think this is where I'm at (March 9th) but it was hard to tell so I might have to change the marking later. I had to cut a window in the sticker for this. 

This is my progress April 2nd (I think).
To replace my Giorgio Armani perfume I'm rolling in Katy Perry's Mad Love (EDP) because it's the oldest perfume in my collection, I bought this in April 2018 and haven't really used it - I like the scent but it's very strong. This is a 100mL bottle so I'm expecting this to take a while. This is my progress as of March 19th and I didn't make enough progress this month to make another mark.
I decided to roll in my Colourpop Lippie Pencil in BFF to replace my Essence lip liner, I like this one but I don't use it much because the lid isn't very secure, so I'd like to move it out of my collection and get something with better packaging. To replace the Hourglass primer I've picked out my Bare Minerals Prime Time Original Foundation Primer sample. 
Below is my progress for both products as of March 24th.

This is the progress as of April 2nd - I didn't make enough progress on the primer to make another mark.
